We’re closely monitoring the next plunge of strong cold air expected to ride south out of the Canadian Rockies into the western United States.
As it sweeps across the country, it’ll likely pick up steam as it runs right into the building corridor of warmer, subtropical air over the Deep South and Southeast.
Florida will continue seeing the warming trend over the next couple days. Monday looks to try and breach the 80s during the warmest period of the afternoon, and Tuesday will likely exceed that threshold as the front begins its final approach.
Forecast models still indicate a pretty high chance some of us Floridians will receive rain on Wednesday as the leading edge of the cold front arrives. Timing is still a bit wobbly, with a bit of a back and forth game going on with the cold air either speeding up or slowing down. Generally, it looks like we’ll see the bulk of our effects by around 10 a.m. to the lunch hour at noon.
From there, temperatures drop fairly dramatically!
We’ll hover in the 70’s and 80’s for Monday through Wednesday, and by Thursday we struggle to climb out of the 60’s.
How much rain can carry itself across Florida will be heavily dictated by both the timing of the front’s arrival, and how much warm air can move up across the region to allow for more energy storms can feed off of.
We’ll continue to dial in this forecast as we get closer in time. Our in house modeling does show the potential for further organization of showers and storms off our west coast before it starts to close in on our viewing area. Then we’re in for a fantastic weekend with temperatures rebounding from cold to mild in time for Saturday and Sunday.
