The front crosses through early Thursday with breezy winds already out of the Northwest. Therefore, it will usher in drier and slightly cooler air. Temperature should drop back down to seasonable values with overnight lows in the low 60’s and highs in the upper 70’s. Outside of a short-lived passing coastal shower, it stays dry.
Long range models are showing a front developing across the Eastern Gulf of Mexico by Saturday morning, then pushing through later in the day. This will bring South Florida the next best chance of seeing rain. Scattered to numerous showers with isolated storms likely Saturday afternoon.
WARM WINDS ahead of a weak cold front will allow high temps. to soar into the upper 80's & flirting with records. A few showers possible, but it will stay mostly dry. Breezy & cooler for Thursday with lows in the low 60's. Wetter by the weekend? @wsvn pic.twitter.com/auJ1GfRVBJ
