.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 149 AM EST Fri Jan 31 2025

High pressure centered off the Mid Atlantic coast will move off
to the east today, while a cold front associated with a system
forecast to move across the northeast US will approach the area on
Saturday, eventually stalling over the Lake Okeechobee region.
Outside of a stray coastal shower on Saturday, the overall dry
trend will continue across the area. With light to near calm winds
during the overnight hours over the interior, some patchy fog
will be possible both this morning and Saturday morning.

High temperatures today and Saturday will be in the upper 70s to
lower 80s. Low temperatures tonight will range from around 60 near
the lake, to mid and upper 60s across the east coast metro.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 149 AM EST Fri Jan 31 2025

The stalled frontal boundary will linger across the state of
Florida into early next week before eventually dissipating.
Meanwhile high pressure in the western Atlantic will become
entrenched and weak ridging will be in place over the region
through the middle of next week. Outside of a few stray coastal
showers on Sunday and Monday, most of the long term period will
consist of dry weather and above normal temperatures. Afternoon
highs will generally be in the low to middle 80s, with some upper
80s possible each day over interior SW FL. Low temps will be mild
generally ranging from the low/mid 60s inland to upper 60s across
the metro.
