Today...A warm front and associated showers will lift north of the area this morning. Developing SE winds behind the front and decreasing clouds will produce a warmer afternoon reaching the low 80s coast and mid 80s inland. Leesburg has a chance to equal/exceed its record high of 85F from 2001. Southeast winds will become breezy, gusting around 25 mph along the coast. A light but persistent southerly breeze tonight will keep min temperatures mild, in the mid 60s.

Sunday...Very warm and windy as low level wind fields increase 30-40 knots at 925 mb ahead of a stronger cold front. As mixing heigheights deepen, these winds will get transported to the sfc and produce frequent gusts of 30-35 mph, with a chance for up to 40 mph. A Wind Advisory may be needed for Sunday, especially from Orlando/Cape Canaveral northward. Max temperatures will reach the mid to upper 80s with the warmest temps along the coast south of the Cape where better heating should take place and there will be no sea breeze. This is also where the best chance for reaching/exceeding record highs will occur. The record high at VRB is only 84F and that looks to be broken. Officially forecasting a tie at MLB and FPR (87F).

Preceding the cold front, a thin band of showers and embedded storms is forecast to push steadily SE and reach our northern counties (Lake/Volusia) during the early to mid afternoon. Have added a slight chance for thunder across the north 1/2 of FA but expect the line to weaken/decay as it advances SE across EC FL during the late afternoon. By early evening, showers are forecast to diminish across southern sections. Rain amounts are forecast to stay under 0.25" across the north and just a trace to a couple hundredths of an inch along the Treasure Coast. The front itself will cross the area Sunday night with a wind shift out of the NW and temps cooling into the low to mid 50s, except lower 60s Treasure coast.

Mon-Fri...Noticeably cooler and drier air advects southward into the area with breezy north winds along the coast Mon. Quite a range of max temps, from the lower 60s along the Volusia coast to the mid 70s around Lake Okeechobee. Winds veer East Tuesday with max temps near seasonable values in the mid to upper 70s, warming back above normal Wednesday ahead of another cold front. The next chance for widespread showers and possibly a few storms will arrive Wednesday into Thursday. Will watch for the potential for low pressure to develop over the northern Gulf but model guidance is more bullish with deepening low pressure along the SE U.S. coast which would limit severe potential for central FL. There is a chance for much colder air to overspread the area late next week as arctic high builds south into the Plains states. But confidence is low on how cold it will get. It will depend on how quickly the low level flow turns onshore but at least a cooler weather pattern appears to be on the way late next week.

Warm front is lifting north across the local Atlantic waters this morning and winds will veer SE with time today. Pressure gradient will support around 15 knots, 15-20 knots offshore. There is a Caution headline for the nearshore waters and an Advisory continues for the offshore waters for seas 6-8 FT.

Speeds increase again tonight into Sunday as winds veer south to southwest ahead of a strong cold front. Winds 25 knots with gusts to Gale Force are forecast Sunday over the offshore waters but do not plan on a Gale warning at this time as the duration looks pretty short. North winds 15-20 kt return behind the front on Monday and produce poor to hazardous boating conds then decreasing and veering onshore into Tuesday. Winds veer SE Wednesday and increase 15-20 knots ahead of the next cold front. Seas 4-6 FT nearshore today, 6-8 FT offshore. Seas nearshore will lower 3-4 FT Sunday due to increased SW (offshore) winds while remaining 5-7 FT offshore. Seas become more favorable for boating across all of the local Atlantic on Tuesday (3-4 FT) then 4-5 FT Wed.
