Daily downpours and storms this week
Rounds of scattered to widespread showers and storms will continue for most of the work week.
An active setup will bring rounds of heavy rain, mainly after lunchtime this week. It won't be an all-day washout and not everyone will see the rain each day, but where it rains it will really pour.
Quiet in the Tropics
No tropical activity is expected over the next seven days.
But just because it's quiet doesn't mean we let our guard down.
It's important to stay prepared through the entire hurricane season and to check in with the FOX 35 Storm Team for the latest.
