Also, keep in mind there's a high risk of dangerous rip currents at the beaches.
Local officials are urging beachgoers to stay out of the water, and if you do plan to swim, do so near a lifeguard.
Any lingering showers and storms will fade by midnight. Warm and muggy conditions continue overnight.
Tuesday morning lows will fall into the low to middle 70s.
The rest of this week features much higher chances of showers and storms. This will be due to our large ridge of high pressure, the culprit in keeping us hot and generally drier, will break down.
An area of low pressure will set up in the gulf, helping to usher in moisture for the Sunshine State, and Central Florida specifically.
This will help to bring increasing chances of showers and storms (70%) and bring more summer-like levels of humidity.
