    70 / 65 cloudy. We'll see how much clearing we can get by the afternoon. Clouds seem kind of stuck. Upper 70s / low 80s with more sun. Similar Sun with chance of showers and storms - warmer but clouds should keep it in the low 80s, more sun would push mid 80s. Clears by Labor Day and looks very nice sunny near 80. Cooler Sep 2 - Sep 8 but very nice / dry stretch and seemingly sunny each day. Watch the tropics in the GOM/FL next week and perhaps a threat up the coast later next weekend in the 9/11 - 9/13 period.
