TODAY-TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION WILL
BUILD SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH EARLY THIS WEEK AND THEN
SHIFT FARTHER OFFSHORE INTO TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. WINDS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT OUT OF
THE EAST-NORTHEAST TODAY, AND THEN VEER TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST ON
MONDAY AND THEN SOUTH-SOUTHEAST ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A
GRADUAL WARMING TREND THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGHS WILL STILL BE AROUND
SEASONABLE VALUES TODAY IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 DEGREES, AND
THEN WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN NORMAL IN UPPER 70S TO
LOW 80S ON MONDAY AND LOW 80S ON TUESDAY. LOWS TONIGHT AND MONDAY
NIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. HOWEVER, NORMALLY
COOLER LOCATIONS ACROSS THE INTERIOR, INCLUDING NORTHWEST OF I-4
AND SOUTH OF THE ORLANDO METRO AREA MAY STILL SEE MIN TEMPS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 50S TONIGHT.
RIDGE ALOFT WILL SHIFT EASTWARD AND ACROSS THE REGION, AND A DRY
AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH PW VALUES BELOW AN INCH. THIS WILL
CONTINUE DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY. HOWEVER, A SHALLOW LAYER OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE, WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AN ONSHORE
MOVING MARINE STRATOCU CLOUD DECK NEAR TO SOUTH OF THE CAPE TODAY
MAY BE ABLE TO PRODUCE A FEW SPRINKLES THAT REACH THE COAST AND
SHIFT INLAND. HOWEVER, NOT EXPECTING ANY MEASURABLE RAINFALL WITH
THIS ACTIVITY, AND THEREFORE RAIN CHANCES REMAIN BELOW MENTIONABLE
LEVELS.
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS MORNING'S
HIGH TIDE CYCLE, FROM AROUND 8 TO 9 AM, AS HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES
CONTINUE. A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY

RIP CURRENTS AND ROUGH SURF AT AREA BEACHES TODAY. ENTERING THE SURF
IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.
TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...SOME REMNANT ENERGY/MOISTURE FROM
DISSIPATED TC SARA WILL SHIFT EASTWARD AND ACROSS FLORIDA INTO
MID WEEK AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THIS WILL LEAD TO
INCREASING RAIN CHANCES INTO TUESDAY NIGHT, MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT,
AND THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. SOME DIFFERENCES CONTINUE
BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF IN REGARDS TO OVERALL MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY, WITH THE GFS SHOWING LOWER QPF/CAPE COMPARED TO THE
ECMWF. LEANED CLOSER TO NBM/ECMWF AND INCREASED RAIN CHANCES TO 60
PERCENT ON WEDNESDAY AND ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND A STRONGER STORM OR TWO WILL BE
POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY, WITH THIS ACTIVITY SHIFTING OFFSHORE INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD INTO TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S, AND THEN INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND
RAINFALL WILL HOLD MAX TEMPS IN THE LOW 80S DURING THE DAY. AS COLD
FRONT CROSSES THE AREA, TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE 50S LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY MORNING THURSDAY.
THURSDAY-SATURDAY...THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON SO FAR WILL MOVE
INTO THE AREA INTO LATE WEEK BEHIND THE STRONG COLD FRONT, AND WILL
BE REINFORCED THROUGH EARLY WEEKEND AS W/NW FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS
THE AREA. HIGHS WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S
OVER MUCH OF THE AREA EACH DAY, AND OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE FORECAST TO
