Strong thunderstorms still possible this afternoon & evening. Rain chances going down to 40% for Tuesday and 20% for Wed & Thu. Look for mid 90's Wed & Thu with the feel like temperature between 100-110.

One tropical wave east of the Leeward Islands may be the next system to develop. Models have it staying mostly out of the Caribbean, but may affect the U.S. Virgin Islands as it makes it's way in the Atlantic. Still alot of time to watch this one.
