FORECAST DISCUSSION

A stationary front over the coast will move further south overnight as high pressure develops over the Carolinas. Once this front moves into central Florida by lunchtime Friday, our skies will begin to clear.

High pressure at the surface and aloft will keep skies mainly clear through the weekend with minimal rain chances.

A weak cold front will approach from the north on Monday. This will bring our next chance for rain. The front will probbaly stall just north of the region for most of next week. This will bring a chance for mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms for much of next week.
