Mid term long term (Monday night-Saturday) Some mid upper level ridging will be across the region into midweek then global models bring a wave westward into florida which gets picked up by a trough moving across the eastern u.S. Late in the week. This pattern will bring an area of drier air across the region Monday night and early Tuesday followed by an increase in deep moisture for the rest of the week. Therefore, other than some low rain chances, less than 30 percent, north of about the interstate 4 corridor Tuesday, the rain chances look to be pretty high through much of the period with 40 percent north to 70 percent south Wednesday, then 60 to 70 percent everywhere for Thursday through Saturday. Convection will occur mainly during the afternoon and evening hours, but as we head toward the end of the week a more south to southwest flow will setup so morning convection will become possible near the coast. Daytime high temperatures will remain near normal to slightly above normal through Wednesday, then near to slightly below normal for the |
rest of the week thanks to more clouds and higher rain chances. Overnight lows will remain near to slightly above normal through the period.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
