Scattered to numerous showers and a few thunderstorms will continue to move across the area this morning ahead of the cold front. This front will exit the region by early this afternoon with northwest winds behind it ushering in cooler drier air to end the week. High pressure will settle over the area Friday and then shift east out into the Atlantic Ocean over the weekend, but continue to ridge west across the Florida peninsula. Fair dry weather is expected through the weekend with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels. Early next week the high pressure ridge will begin to drift south as the next cold front associated with a storm system moving across the eastern U.S.
approaches the region. Winds will shift to southeast to south bringing increasing humidity with a chance of showers and a few thunderstorms arriving by midweek as the cold front moves into the area.

MVFR CIGs are in place this morning as a cold front moves southward across central FL. Areas of scattered showers accompanying the frontal boundary are also moving through the region, which may lead to brief MVFR/IFR VSBY restrictions at times so TEMPOs have been added to most terminals at the start of the period. Flight conditions quickly improve later this morning into the afternoon hours as the cold front exits to the southeast and drier air builds in with VFR conditions then prevailing through the remainder of the period. Breezy conditions also develop behind the front today with northwest winds at 15 to 20 knots and higher gusts developing but winds will shift to north and diminish to around 10 knots by this evening.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 355 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
A cold front will move across the region this morning preceded by showers and a few thunderstorms. Breezy northwest winds behind the front will usher in cooler drier air and lead to high dispersion values this afternoon. Relative humidity values will remain above critical thresholds today, but are expected to fall below 35 percent for several hours both Friday and Saturday afternoons. However, winds on Friday and Saturday will diminish and ERC values will remain low so no Red Flag conditions are anticipated.
