Rob’s First Alert Forecast - Monday, Aug. 8

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Rain chances will stay elevated for much of the work week as the muggy and hot pattern persists (because summer), but a mid-level disturbance will help keep the higher odds in place.

Another good setup for more showers and storms the next couple of days. Staying warm and humid too, very August-like. #moreSHOWERS #HOTandHUMID #QGforecast pic.twitter.com/Gl5ypDWHAO

There's that energy coming off of Africa and it's chances for development over the next 5 days. The first thing we've had to watch in a while. #TropicalThoughts pic.twitter.com/fT8oF16gbT
