WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — As we head into the workweek - our high heat will continue with temps peaking in the low to mid 90s and a heat index in the triple digits

Take breaks in the shade or A.C. if you are outside and be sure to stay hydrated.

We'll see plenty of sun during the first half of the day with scattered storms coming in after 5PM.

Little change is expected through Tuesday but there are signs that a noticeable change in the pattern is in store after that.

The strong ridge of high pressure will start to break down winds will shift into the east for the second half of the week allowing for more "seasonable" temperatures to arrive.

A TUTT low ( Tropical upper tropospheric trough) will approach by Wednesday or Thursday and this could bump up the rain/storm chances although most of that should track inland and toward the west coast.

Another tropical wave located about 650 miles east of the Windward Islands has a 30% chance of development as it heads toward the Lesser Antilles this week.

It's still too soon to say if this system will have any indirect impacts for our weather

Saharan dust is still with us but will start thinning and moving out by midweek opening up the door to better rain and storm chances.
