Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says sunshine to start the day heats us up into the 90s. Both sea breezes move inland today providing the focus for afternoon storms. The main areas to watch will be near I-95 &amp; Hwy 301 this afternoon &amp; evening. Storms will drift eastward toward I-95\/beaches and we may have some rain lingering past sunset. The weather pattern is pretty stagnant &amp; unchanging going forward. Each day will have heat &amp; humidity with afternoon &amp; evening storms.
