IMPACTS RELATED TO HURRICANE MILTON WILL BE WINDING DOWN EARLY
THURSDAY AS THE STORM CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND DEPARTS THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA INTO THE OPEN ATLANTIC. WATER LEVELS FROM ONGOING
FLOODING AND STORM SURGE MAY REMAIN ELEVATED AND DANGEROUS UNTIL
THE WATER HAS RECEDED. AS ATTENTION TURNS TO RECOVER EFFORTS, BE
AWARE OF AREAS THAT REMAIN FLOODED AND DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH
FLOODED ROADWAYS. SOME GUSTY WINDS MAY LINGER FOR FLORIDA AND
ALONG THE SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC COAST. MORE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING.
OTHERWISE, THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WILL BE MOSTLY DRY. SOME
ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND
INTERIOR NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY, WITH SOME MORE MODERATE RAINFALL
ALONG COASTAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AS A PACIFIC SYSTEM APPROACHES
THE AREA ON FRIDAY. THE MAIN STORY WILL BE CONTINUED VERY WARM,
WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES FOR WESTERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS
OF THE COUNTRY AS A BROAD UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE. SOME
OF THE GREATEST ANOMALIES WILL BE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS/UPPER
MIDWEST THURSDAY AS HIGHS SOAR INTO THE MID-80S, UPWARDS OF 20-25
DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE. WHILE TEMPERATURES HAVE RETURNED TO LESS
DANGEROUSLY HOT LEVELS COMPARED TO THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST STILL REMAINS ABNORMALLY HOT, WITH HIGHS INTO THE 100S.
ELSEWHERE, HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 80S IN THE GREAT BASIN AND LOWER
ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ROCKIES, THE MID- TO UPPER 80S
IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS, AND INTO THE MID-90S IN TEXAS. SOME
RECORD-TYING/BREAKING HIGHS WILL BE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST. A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST WILL BRING COOLER, MORE
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES TO IN THE 60S TO THESE AREAS ON FRIDAY. IN
CONTRAST, MUCH OF THE EAST COAST WILL BE MORE SEASONABLE AND EVEN
COOL FOR NORTHERN LOCATIONS. FORECAST HIGHS FOR THE INTERIOR
NORTHEAST AND NEW ENGLAND WILL ONLY BE IN THE 50S ON THURSDAY,
WITH 60S IN THE MID-ATLANTIC AND 60S AND 70S INTO THE SOUTHEAST.
MORNING LOWS DIPPING INTO THE 30S FOR AREAS IN THE INTERIOR
NORTHEAST AND WITHIN THE APPALACHIANS COULD LEAD TO SOME PATCHY
FROST FRIDAY MORNING. MOST OF THE INTERIOR NORTHEAST WILL SEE
WARMER TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AS HIGHS CLIMB BACK INTO THE 60S.
