WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Very rich tropical moisture is moving into the region, as a front continues to be draped across the region.

On the other side of the front, Tropical Storm Francine is in the western Gulf of Mexico, which is expected to eventually strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane later this week. It will have no direct impact on our weather.

Scattered showers and storms are expected for most of the evening into tonight. Gradually tapering off late night/early morning. Heavy rainfall, loud thunder, lightning, and minor flooding are possible.

Another round of storms tomorrow, too as the front remains just to our north and we remain in the tropical airmass. Highs in the upper 80s to near 90. The morning will be relatively quiet, then It will be busy in the afternoon and evening. It will be tough for after-school sports and outdoor activities. And there could be some flood advisories issued for localized areas of flooding.
