SURFACE RIDGING COUPLED WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO  
KEEP CONDITIONS WARM AND HUMID TODAY AND TOMORROW. MOISTURE  
STREAMING IN FROM THE EAST COAST WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW ISOLATED  
SHOWERS AND PLENTY OF LOW CLOUDS. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FOG AND  
LOW CLOUDS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING ESPECIALLY FOR  
THE NATURE COAST, HOWEVER CENTRAL FL AND AREAS TO THE SOUTH COULD  
ALSO BE IMPACTED. EXTRA MOISTURE FROM A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING INTO  
THE AREA WILL INCREASE RAIN CHANCES TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY  
MORNING ESPECIALLY FOR INTERIOR AREAS. DRY AIR WILL BEGIN TO  
FILTER IN FRIDAY WITH A REINFORCING FRONT PUSHING DRIER AND COLDER  
AIR OVER THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. LOWS IN THE 30S AND 40S RETURN
