.DISCUSSION...

Isolated onshore moving showers will be possible this morning.
Light southerly winds shift to the east-southeast around 11 AM as
the east coast sea breeze develops and pushes inland. Additional
showers and lightning storms developing along the sea breeze will
be possible, which could produce gusty and erratic winds, and
occasional cloud to ground lightning. Most storms should remain
west of I-95 by the afternoon, but chaotic boundary interactions
could push activity back towards the coast. Smoke dispersion will
be Good in the late morning and afternoon. High in the L90s with
peak heat indices up to 105. A similar setup tomorrow but higher
rain chances.
