Here is your forecast for Thursday, October 10th, 2024
Conditions will steadily improve as Milton accelerates away from FL into the Atlantic. Gusty northerly winds will begin to settle this evening.
Get ready for a taste of "Florida fall". Surface high pressure will gradually build over the region through the weekend and into early next week with lighter winds expected. The drier dew points will set us up for the coolest morning temperatures that we've felt since May!
Friday, we'll start off in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Partly cloudy skies are forecast with winds out of the northeast around 15 mph, gusting to 25 mph. Rain chances will stay low at 20%.
We have a High Surf Advisory in effect through 11pm and a high threat for rip currents through Saturday morning.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we'll have a 20% chance for a passing shower on Saturday and 30% on Sunday, but heavy rainfall is not forecast as mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will remain fairly dry, limiting available moisture.
Dew points will return to the lower 70s Sunday afternoon through Monday into Tuesday morning ahead of a cold front that will increase rain chances slightly Monday and Tuesday to 30-40%. As of now next Wednesday through Friday are looking dry with even drier air moving in.
