Tropics: an area of low pressure has formed off the coast of northern Florida, near the Georgia border. This shows a medium sign of tropical development over the next few days. Computer models still vary on where this system goes, but the majority of the models bring at least some moisture up into our region. A few showers are possible by late Sunday, and much of next week will be unsettled with a chance of scattered storms each day.

Next week will be muggy with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s.
