WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A heat advisory continues for Palm Beach County through 8 p.m. Tuesday. It might be issued again Wednesday, but we're through the worst of this July heat dome with an easterly flow developing and Saharan dust moving out.

This will allow for more moisture and better coverage of showers and storms later in the week, which will knock down these sweltering temperatures from where they've been most of the month.

A weak trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles south-southwest of Bermuda will increase rain chance in Florida starting Thursday.

A tropical wave in the Atlantic Ocean will head west and bump up our rain chances later Thursday into Friday morning.

We'll dry out behind that for the weekend into early next week.

Most showers/storms that occur over the next five to seven days will be near the coast in the morning and inland in the afternoon.
