Sunday will be similar to Saturday with hot, high temperatures climbing into the middle to upper 90s inland, and low 90s along the coast.
Humidity is sticking around, which will make it feel more like triple digits in the midday hours with a chance for showers and storms during the afternoon hours as temperatures heat up and the sea breeze moves inland.

It was another hot day with temperatures climbing well into the 90s and heat index numbers over 100 degrees. In fact, Daytona Beach broke its record of 96 degrees set back in 1988 by reaching 97 degrees. We did have some storms develop that helped to cool things down a bit, but some of the storms were on the strong side. Several advisories were issued for gusty wind and Flagler County was put under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. An isolated storm will be possible early tonight, but mainly quieter conditions overnight. We have one more hot day before temperatures back off a bit for the start of the work week.
The few clouds that developed with the storms Saturday afternoon will clear overnight, leading to mostly sunny skies to start our Sunday. Temperatures will remain warm, dropping only into the middle 70s.
Sunday will be similar to Saturday with hot, high temperatures climbing into the middle to upper 90s inland, and low 90s along the coast. Humidity is sticking around, which will make it feel more like triple digits during the afternoon. There will be a chance for showers and storms during the afternoon hours as temperatures heat up and the sea breeze moves inland. Some of the storms could be strong with frequent lightning and gusty wind.
By Monday, temperatures will drop back to more seasonable conditions in the low 90s. As of right now, we will keep a 30-40 percent chance for afternoon storms this week, but things could change depending on Tropical Depression Four. Tropical Depression Four developed Saturday afternoon over the Turks and Caicos. This tropical system is expected to slowly move to the northwest over the next couple of days. Low wind shear and warm ocean temperatures will be favorable for intensification and this system may become a category one hurricane by Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center does have Tropical Depression Four turning north and then northeast this week, staying away from the Florida coast. However, models are inconsistent in the track and intensity, so close monitoring will be needed through midweek.
