Scattered showers, storms return to South Florida after soggy weekend

After a very soggy Sunday, more of the wet stuff is on the way. While the chance of rain is not as high compared to Sunday, the region remains unsettled with lingering moisture. 

A NEXT Weather Alert has been issued through 6:30 p.m.

As highs soar to the low to mid 80s, the heating of the day will likely lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening. A few storms could turn strong and an isolated severe storm can't be ruled out.

NEXT Weather Chief Meteorologist Ivan Cabrera said drier air above should limit storm coverage compared to what unfolded on Sunday.  He said South Florida could see 1" to 2" inches of rain if "a storm is pinned along a boundary." This could create some nuisance flooding if it occurs over an urban area.

Tuesday will be drier and warmer as highs climb to the upper 80s across most of South Florida. When humidity is factored in, it will feel like the 90s. A stray shower can't be ruled out, but it will be mostly dry.
