DISCUSSION
Issued at 250 PM EDT Wed May 8 2024
The big story for the rest of the work week will be the heat away from the coastal areas. Ridging over the area is causing some drier air and keeping showers away while also turning the heat up. Inland areas of the CWA can expected highs in the mid to upper 90's today through Friday.
As we go through the day on Friday a weakening cold front will be pushing through the area. The best chance to see some significant showers and storms will be over the Nature Coast in the morning and early afternoon hours. Once it works through the rest of Florida in the evening and overnight hours much of the shower activity will be gone but an isolated storm can not be ruled.
This front will only drop our high temperatures a few degrees for the weekend but we can still expect highs in the low to mid 90's.
The big change will be Sunday morning where most of us will wake up comfortably in the low to mid 60's. However, temperatures will warm up quickly so if you sleep in you will miss it.
Our next frontal system looks to try to push through middle of next week. However, ahead of the front we will see added moisture which will aid in some afternoon showers and storms with the better chances Tuesday and Wednesday.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 250 PM EDT Wed May 8 2024
Our main concern over the next few days will be critical RHs. We will have isolated spots of critical RHs throughout are work week. However the more widespread critical RHs will be after a frontal passage late on Friday. Saturday the lowest RHs should remain in the interior but Sunday we should see Critical RHs through all of our CWA Winds will be light so no need for Red Flag and moisture will return early next week.
