Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
If the blazing heat has gotten you down the past few days, you're in luck—at least for this morning. While it's not a cold front by any means, it should feel a bit cooler and drier, thanks to some winds pushing the warmer air out over the water. While temperatures are in the high 70s early in the day, they will, unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on your preference), hit the 90s by 1 p.m. At least we won't have to worry about more of that Saharan dust until the weekend.

Today's Weather Outlook
Meteorologist Greg Dee says late-day rain is likely today. It's also a bit drier and a little cooler this morning due to winds that are blowing offshore, which are pushing the warm, humid air of the Gulf out over the water. You should notice the difference if you step outside early today.
