High pressure is forecast to move east over the Atlantic Ocean, so we will leave a chance of a passing shower mainly for the coastal and metro areas this Friday. However, some changes are expected for the weekend and it is all because of a large area of disorganized clouds and rain that flared up to the north of Puerto Rico. This disturbance will be reaching the Florida Straits Saturday bringing some showers and few downpours starting in the morning. The amount of rain we receive will depend on whether or not the moisture with this disturbance holds. For now, most of the models show a front to move into north Florida trapping deep moisture over the area on Sunday, so plan on a good rain chance to remain in place.
Looking ahead into next week, the front over north Florida will wash out and the air will gradually dry out late Tuesday.
