DISCUSSION
Issued at 159 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

After a very warm and dry end to the week, a change in the weather pattern is in sight. Sunday night into Monday a cold front associated with an upper level disturbance will move over the area.
This cold front will bring some rain, however best chances look to be for area north of I4. Behind the front a weak high pressure builds over FL. Dry and slightly cooler air will then filter into the area, bringing relief from the widespread 90s. The dry conditions will stick around through the week, however the cool temperatures will not. By mid week upper 80s return, with the 90s making a comeback by Thursday.
