New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER
KEY MESSAGES
- Shower and thunderstorm chances return Today and continue through Monday.
- Much cooler drier air arrives by next Tuesday.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 215 AM EDT Thu Mar 12 2026
A cold front continues to move towards the area from the northwest, brining some much needed rain. Later this morning showers and a few storms will reach the nature coast then move southeast across the area through the afternoon into the evening. A few showers could linger into the overnight hours before completing clearing out.
Behind the front, slightly cooler and drier air will move into the area, but a major cool down is not expected.
Luckily, the beneficial rain chances remain elevated through the weekend as high pressure sets up in the Atlantic generating a more easterly flow. With the west coast sea breeze developing each afternoon, coupled with daytime heating, scattered afternoon showers will be likely, especially over the interior areas.
A stronger cold front is expected to move through Monday. Much cooler air will actually filter in behind this front. Low temperatures will dip back into the 40s and 50s through most of next week. High temperatures will remain a little below average as well.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 215 AM EDT Thu Mar 12 2026
Messy conditions expected today as a line of showers and storms moves through associated with a cold front. Low clouds and/or fog is also still possible early this morning ahead of the showers. Below VFR conditions will be likely as showers and storms move through from northwest to southeast. Most likely timing for TAF sites will likely be around 20-22Z for West Central and Central areas and 21- 23Z for SWFL sites. However, confidence for timing and impacts for southern sites was a bit lower as showers may break up.
MARINE
Issued at 215 AM EDT Thu Mar 12 2026
