“Scattered, brief showers and even thunderstorms are possible briefly in most areas after sunset,” he said. “Then a cold front passes and cools us down for tomorrow.”

Waldenberger said conditions will then be less humid, with the rest of the workweek shaping up to be quite dry.

“But rain returns to the forecast for both days this weekend,” he said. “We’ll monitor how this impacts the Daytona 500 in the days ahead.”
