.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
Issued at 224 PM EST Sat Nov 23 2024

Current-Sunday...Sunny skies this afternoon with temperatures
observed in the 60s. Temperatures quickly fall into the 50s after
sunset further cooling into the low to mid 40s across much of the
area by early tomorrow morning. A few degrees warmer overnight
across southern St Lucie and Martin counties. Winds become light and
variable through the period as surface high pressure slides eastward
across the state. Afternoon temperatures begin a warming trend
tomorrow climbing into the low to mid 70s. Sunny skies and dry
conditions persist.

Mon-Sat (previous)...Mainly zonal flow aloft continues through much
of the upcoming week. Weak high pressure a mainstay across the area,
though a weak front is forecast to push into north FL mid-week and
becomes diffuse. The next formidable front may not cross into
central FL until around Fri afternoon-Fri night. We continue to keep
conditions dry thru the period. The warming trend started on Sun
will continue with U70s to around 80F (M70s Volusia coast Mon) for
Mon-Wed and L80s on Thanksgiving Day. Temps may then drop again
slightly into Fri depending on timing of frontal passage. Mins in
the 50s for much of the interior with some L60s gradually returning
E of I-95 and possibly M-U60s by Thu morning for immediate St.
Lucie/Martin counties. Generally light winds thru the period.
