COOLER TEMPERATURES USHERED IN BY YESTERDAY'S COLD FRONT SHOULD BE A
WELCOME CHANGE AFTER THE LONG STRETCH OF ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPS.
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL BE PLEASANT AND DRY WITH
TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND AVERAGE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL ONCE AGAIN
SITUATE OVER THE STATE AND REMAIN THERE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
DRY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO CONTINUE, HOWEVER THE AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL
BEGIN TO CREEP BACK UP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK.
THINGS GET SHAKEN UP ON WEDNESDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF CURRENT
TROPICAL STORM SARA MOVE THROUGH THE GULF AS AN APPROACHING TROUGH
ALSO MAKES ITS WAY TOWARDS FL. SARA IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AFTER
ITS INTERACTION WITH THE YUCATAN AND IS NOT EXPECTED TO REFORM. THE
MOISTURE LEFT OVER FROM SARA WILL BE PUSHED TOWARDS FL AHEAD OF
THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THIS WILL INCREASE RAIN CHANCES FOR
WEDNESDAY. CONDITIONS COULD BE FAVORABLE FOR SOME HEAVY DOWN POURS
AND THUNDERSTORMS.
AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH, TEMPERATURES WILL DROP MORE
SIGNIFICANTLY AND REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE INTO NEXT WEEKEND. WITH
LOWS DIPPING INTO THE 40S FOR NORTHERN COUNTIES AND 50S FOR THE
SOUTHERN AREAS. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S.
