.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Friday)
Issued at 1232 PM EST Thu Nov 21 2024

The first of two cold fronts has made its way across our region
today, ushering in sunny skies and cooler conditions. Deep layered
dry air was already evident in the 12Z MFL sounding and ACARS
soundings from MIA, with PWATs rapidly dropping below 1 inch.

High temperatures won`t feel too cool today, ranging from the low
to mid 70s over the interior and SW FL, to the upper 70s in SE
FL. The start of the cooling trend will be more noticeable
tonight, as temperatures fall to the upper 40s around the interior
and Lake Okeechobee areas, with low to mid 50s elsewhere.

Friday will be another mostly sunny day with breezy northerly
winds, and high temperatures only climbing into the low 70s. The
second front will drop through the region tomorrow, ushering in
even cooler temperatures for the weekend.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 109 PM EST Thu Nov 21 2024

With high pressure to our north in control, dry and cool weather is
expected this weekend. Low temps Saturday and Sunday morning will be
in the middle 40s around the lake region, and low to mid 50s across
the metro. High temps on Saturday will be roughly 10 degrees below
normal, ranging from the upper 60s around the lake region to lower
70s closer to the coasts. As high pressure shifts to the east late
in the weekend into early next week, our flow will become easterly,
and therefore a slow moderating trend is expected into next week
with temps returning to normal, however the dry conditions are
expected to persist through at least the middle of next week.
