DISCUSSION
Issued at 149 AM EST Sun Dec 3 2023

The warm, moist airmass hanging over the region has aided in the development of low clouds and fog overnight. Foggy conditions will linger through mid morning before lifting. A line of showers, associated with a cold front will also begin to move towards the coast, and will likely impact the Nature Coast mid morning/ early afternoon. The line is expected to weaken as it moves southeast, southern areas may miss out on any rain. Once the front moves away from the area Monday cooler, drier air will begin to filter in. High temperatures through the week should remain below 80, with lows dipping into the 40s and 50s for most of the week. Thursday is expected to be the coldest with lows in the 30s-40s. 80s look to return next weekend.
