"That chance of rain is unusually high for this time of year," he said.

Shields said some of those storms could be strong.

That combined with a high of 93 is set to make for a steamy day across the area.

Channel 9 chief meteorologist Tom Terry said those high rain chances are set to stick around most of the week making for a soggy start to the new school year.

"We'll see more afternoon storms through midweek, then an even higher chance for downpours (later in the) week as a weak front stalls in North Florida," Terry said. "Overall, a busy weather week."

Super active again later - LOTS of rain/storms. Some strong. Localized flooding issues AGAIN. I'm tracking the amounts on Channel 9. pic.twitter.com/BPFcsLlZNG
