WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — It will still be very warm and muggy tonight with temperatures only dropping into the upper 70s and heat index values staying in the 80s.
Storms will mainly stay across interior areas of the Sunshine State and across the west coast.
A similar pattern shapes up for Thursday with afternoon high temperatures in the low 90s under mostly to partly sunny skies.
Showers and storms will start to pop up early afternoon with the strongest storms expected to be inland

Even hotter temperatures are in the forecast by the end of the week with highs reaching the mid-90s on Friday and through the weekend.
The chance of storms will go up at the same time, so expect more widespread scattered storms.
High pressure will pull away from Florida over the Gulf waters, allowing for a stronger westerly steering flow to return, in addition to more moisture being added to the atmosphere by Thursday.
Also, a mid-level disturbance will help trigger more storms Friday and Saturday.
Meanwhile, the tropics remain inactive with no tropical development expected for the next several days. Saharan Dust is sweeping through parts of South Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico, so it could be more hazy for parts of our area by this weekend.
