currently in the mid 60s to around 70 degrees north of I-4 with
the low 70s to mid 80s to the south. Dew points are in the low to
mid 60s north of I-4 with the mid 60s to mid 70s to the south.

the Treasure Coast. Mostly dry weather is forecast Thursday as
high pressure (~ 1032mb) builds over the Deep South. Breezy north

20-30%) are forecast Friday afternoon and into Saturday with
PWATs between 0.80-1.00" on Friday, as well as PWATs between
1.00-1.40" on Saturday. Partly cloudy to partly sunny skies are
forecast with afternoon highs in the low to mid 70s Friday and the

to 20-25mph are forecast into each afternoon. High pressure is
forecast to gradually shift east over northeastern CONUS on
Sunday and over the western Atlantic on Monday before a shortwave
trough is forecast to move east-southeast over the eastern CONUS
on Tuesday. Isolated to widely scattered onshore moving showers (PoPs ~
20-30%) are forecast into each afternoon Sunday and Monday with
