Good evening. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you're waking up in North Florida or the Big Bend, you're literally in the clouds right now. That dense fog advisory is the main event this morning, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less in spots. You'll want to give yourself plenty of extra time if you're commuting before 10 A.M., when that sun finally burns it off. In the next 24 hours. Down in Central Florida, you're dealing with patchy fog until about 9 A.M., but the Tampa Bay area is already waking up to partly cloudy skies. South Florida is clear and breezy, with those east winds gusting to 21 miles an hour. Here's what's really wild about today. It feels more like May than March. Tampa Bay tops out at 86 degrees. Central Florida reaches 83. North Florida climbs to 77 after the fog lifts. South Florida is the cool spot today at 79, thanks to that ocean breeze. Tonight. South Florida sees showers and thunderstorms rolling through between 11 P.M. and 3 A.M. The rest of the state stays dry, but that fog creeps back into North Florida overnight. Tomorrow keeps the heat on. Tampa Bay hits 87. Central Florida reaches 85. North Florida climbs to 80. We're running a solid 58 degrees to 58 degrees above normal. Looking ahead, this pattern holds through the weekend. We're talking near-record highs from Thursday through Sunday. Afternoon showers and storms become a daily possibility, especially inland.

Good evening. Florida. I'm Jack O'Malley. Fog is stealing the spotlight across North Florida this morning. Widespread dense fog blankets Jacksonville and the coastal areas, reducing visibility to under a mile in spots. If you're commuting along A1A or Highway 58 degrees, give yourself extra time. That fog lifts by mid-morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 78 degrees. In the next 24 hours. Down in Central Florida, patchy fog develops after 3 A.M. Tonight but clears by 9 A.M. Tomorrow. Orlando reaches 82 degrees this afternoon with a steady east-northeast breeze around 7 miles an hour. Tampa Bay sits at 65 degrees this morning under mostly clear skies. You'll hit 86 degrees by 2 P.M. — that's about 58 degrees above normal for early March. A brief shower could pop up around 3 P.M., but most of the day stays dry. South Florida stays warm and breezy. Miami sits at 73 degrees with east winds gusting to 18 miles an hour. A slight chance of thunderstorms rolls through between 11 P.M. Tonight and 2 A.M. Tomorrow. Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 79.

Record highs are possible Thursday through Sunday, with inland areas reaching the mid to upper 80s. A few afternoon showers return Thursday and linger into the weekend. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset — a beautiful way to end a warm March day. We're gaining nearly two minutes of daylight each day now, with the spring equinox just two weeks away. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. That 77 degrees on your thermometer right now? it's just the opening act. Strong high pressure parked off New England is wedging cool, moist Atlantic air down the coast. That sets up a classic Florida split today. Coastal areas deal with fog while inland spots surge toward the 80s. In the next 24 hours. North Florida, you're getting the brunt of it. Northeast winds gusting to 24 miles an hour will make that 72-degree high feel brisk. But the real story comes tonight. Widespread dense fog rolls in along the I-Ninety-Five corridor. If you're driving near Jacksonville or Fernandina Beach after sunset, visibility could drop fast. Central Florida wakes up to patchy fog tomorrow morning. Today you hit 80 degrees under mostly sunny skies. You might see a passing shower after 2 P.M., but most of you stay dry. Tampa Bay, you've got the warmest spot in the state. High of 84 degrees today. Mostly sunny and pleasant with light east winds. Down in South Florida, expect 78 degrees with a slight chance of coastal showers between 2 and 5 P.M. East winds gusting to 21 miles an hour will make it breezy. A high rip current risk continues at all Atlantic beaches through Wednesday evening. If you're heading to the water, swim near a lifeguard. Tonight brings a full moon. Look up after sunset and you'll see it shining through partly cloudy skies. Here's the week ahead. That warming trend continues. By Thursday and Friday, inland areas could flirt with record highs in the mid to upper 80s. Shower chances tick up Thursday through Saturday as moisture increases. But the pattern stays pleasant overall. Just keep an eye on those rip currents if you're beach-bound. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. So picture this. A big high pressure system parked off New England is shoving cool air down the coast like a bouncer clearing a hallway. That's why North Florida woke up socked in fog this morning while the rest of the state is soaking up sunshine. Two completely different vibes separated by about 200 miles of I-75. In the next 24 hours. Up north, that dense fog hangs around through midday along the coast. Highs only reach 73 degrees with northeast winds gusting to 24 miles an hour. That wind has some teeth to it. Tonight the fog creeps inland and lows settle near 59. Now slide down to Central Florida. This is the winner today. Mostly sunny, high near 80 degrees. Just a whisper of a shower chance this afternoon. Lows tonight ease to 64. Pretty close to perfect. Tampa Bay, your patchy fog burns off by 10 A.M. and then it's full sunshine all the way to 84 degrees. That's the kind of afternoon where your car steering wheel reminds you summer's not far off. Tonight, partly cloudy, low around 65. South Florida, mostly sunny with a high of 78. A quick shower could pop near midday. East winds stay breezy, gusting to 20 miles an hour. Lows hold at a balmy 73. Quick safety note. Atlantic beaches from Palm Beach south have dangerous rip currents through Wednesday. Swim near a lifeguard. No exceptions. Looking ahead, things get spicy. A warming trend builds through the week with record highs possible by Thursday. We're talking mid to upper 80s inland. Moisture creeps in midweek bringing better shower chances. And tonight. Step outside after dark. Full moon, mainly clear skies across most of the state. Your phone camera won't do it justice, but try anyway. I'll be tracking those potential records all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Walk outside right now and the air hits you like a warm blanket. Seventy six degrees already. That sticky, tropical humidity clinging to your skin. You can thank a high pressure system parked off New England for this. It's pushing a steady onshore flow across the entire state, pumping warm, moist air straight at us. In the next 24 hours. That flow is the whole story today. It's why fog is hugging the northeast coast. It's why your beach towel feels damp before you even spread it out. And it's why temperatures keep climbing all week. Possibly into record territory by Thursday. Up in North Florida, that fog is stubborn. It lingers through the afternoon with northeast gusts hitting 24 miles an hour. Highs reach 73 degrees. Tonight the fog creeps inland as you drop to 59 degrees. Keep those headlights on. Slide down to Central Florida and the picture brightens. Mostly sunny, high near 80 degrees. A stray shower is possible before 4 P.M., but nothing worth canceling plans over. Tonight settles into the mid 60s. Tampa Bay? You drew the winning ticket. Patchy fog burns off by 10 A.M., then pure sunshine pushes you to 84 degrees. That's February in denial. South Florida sees 78 degrees with east winds gusting to 20 miles an hour. A quick shower could sneak in around lunch. Overnight lows barely budge from 73 degrees. Your AC is earning its keep tonight. Quick safety note. High rip current risk along every Atlantic beach through Wednesday evening. Swim near a lifeguard. No exceptions. Looking ahead, temperatures just keep climbing. Mid to upper 80s by Thursday and Friday inland. That flirts with records. Afternoon pop up showers build midweek, but nothing organized. Just Florida doing its thing. Oh. And tonight's full moon rises right at sunset. Spring equinox is 17 days out. We're gaining two minutes of daylight every single day now. I'll be tracking those near record highs all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, here's the situation. We're looking at a tale of two Floridas today. Up north, you're dealing with a dense fog advisory until 8 A.M. Visibility could drop to a quarter mile near Jacksonville and the Georgia border. If you're driving that way, slow down and use your low beams. Meanwhile, down in Miami-Dade and Broward County, the Atlantic is angry. A high rip current risk stays in place through Wednesday evening. The surf is rough, so stay out of the water. In the next 24 hours. High pressure is building across the Southeast. This pumps in a warm, breezy easterly flow. It feels like summer is arriving early. We're flirting with record-breaking heat by Thursday. Here's what you're seeing across the state. In North Florida, the fog burns off to reveal a high of 76 degrees. Temperatures actually fall in the afternoon as winds shift. Tonight, widespread fog develops after 9 P.M. You'll drop to a mild 57 degrees. Central Florida stays mostly sunny. The Orlando area hits 80 degrees. You might see brief rain showers around 1 P.M. Winds shift from the northeast to the east. Tonight clears out with a low around 62 degrees. Down in South Florida, you see partly cloudy skies. An east wind blows around 14 miles an hour. Highs reach 78 degrees. There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 7 P.M. Tonight holds steady near 73 degrees. Over in Tampa Bay, you're winning the sunshine game. Mostly sunny skies with a high near 84 degrees. East winds around 8 miles an hour keep the coast comfortable. Tonight lows drop to 62 degrees under clear skies. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. The warm-up is just getting started. We're looking at record highs Thursday through the weekend. Inland areas could hit the upper 80s. Expect a chance of showers each day along the coast. Nights remain mild and muggy. It's not officially summer yet, but the weather sure will feel like it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, here's the situation. A giant heat dome is building overhead. That high-pressure ridge is acting like a lid on a pot. It's trapping warmth and keeping every single rain cloud far away. We're looking at record-breaking heat later this week. but for today? You just get beautiful sunshine. In the next 24 hours. Step outside right now and you'll feel it. We're sitting at 79 degrees under a clear sky. With the spring equinox just two weeks away, the sun feels strong. We're gaining nearly two minutes of daylight every single day. Tonight brings a bright Waxing Gibbous moon. It sits at 87 percent illumination. It's going to be a lovely night to be outside. Down in South Florida, you're seeing mostly sunny skies. Your high hits near 78 degrees. Northeast winds blow around 14 miles an hour. It stays warm tonight with a low around 73. Tuesday looks similar. Expect another high near 78. You might see a quick shower between 11 A.M. and 2 P.M. Moving up the coast to Central Florida, it's a touch cooler to start. Look for a high near 80 degrees today. Winds are lighter here. Tonight cools down to around 62 degrees under clear skies. Tuesday warms up fast. You'll hit 80 degrees again. Watch for a brief shower chance around 1 P.M. North Florida remains the cool spot. Highs today reach near 76 degrees. Tonight stays mild with a low around 57. You might see patchy fog develop after 3 A.M. Tuesday starts with areas of fog before 9 A.M. Then the sun comes out. Highs climb back to 76 degrees. Over in Tampa Bay, expect sunny skies and a high near 84 degrees. Tonight is clear and 62 degrees. Tuesday looks fantastic. You hit 84 degrees again under sunny skies. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. This pattern is locked in. We see an extended stretch of heat. Highs climb into the mid-80s statewide by Wednesday. We could challenge record highs Thursday and Friday. Rain chances remain low. You might see a stray afternoon shower. but most of us stay dry. It's a classic taste of late spring in early March. One note for the beachgoers. There's a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches through Wednesday evening. If you're heading to the coast, be careful. Swim near a lifeguard. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Grab your coffee and listen up, folks. If you're anywhere in North Florida right now, you mightn't be able to see your neighbor's house. Dense fog swallowed Lake and inland Volusia counties overnight. Visibilities dropped to a quarter mile. It lifts by mid morning, but take it slow through sunrise. In the next 24 hours. So what's driving today's weather? High pressure parked over the Northeast is funneling a steady onshore breeze across the whole peninsula. Think of it like a giant fan blowing Atlantic air straight at us. That sets up completely different days depending on which coast you're standing on. Let's start down in Miami. You're already at 71 degrees. Feels like summer never left. A few quick showers could pop along the coast around 6 A.M., but they move fast. Highs reach 78 degrees with breezy east winds gusting to 18 miles an hour. Tonight stays balmy at 72. Slide up to Orlando and the vibe shifts. Clear skies, 59 degrees at the door. Sunshine pushes you to 79 by early afternoon. Winds gust to 15 miles an hour around 3 P.M. Tonight settles to a comfortable 62. Jacksonville. You're socked in at 53 degrees. Once that fog burns off, mostly sunny skies carry you to 75 by 1 P.M. Northeast gusts hit 20 miles an hour. Patchy fog sneaks back after midnight. Now Tampa Bay. Sixty two degrees this morning, climbing to a gorgeous 83. A slight chance of thunderstorms south of Sarasota, but most of you stay dry. Tonight eases to 63. Looking ahead, that onshore flow digs in all week. Temperatures keep climbing. Inland spots push upper 80s to low 90s by Friday. The coast stays cooler, upper 70s. but Atlantic beaches get rough. High rip current risk starts Tuesday. Seas build to four to seven feet. Not the week to test your boogie board skills. I'll be tracking that warming trend all week. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. So Florida decided to kick off March with some drama. A cold front stalled over South Florida today and squeezed out thunderstorms that dropped pea sized hail from Homestead to Miami Beach. Hail. In March. That front is losing steam now, sliding south and fading out. In the next 24 hours. Down in South Florida, you're still at 79 degrees with showers lingering through early evening. A quarter to half inch of rain where those storms rumbled through. Things quiet down by 10 P.M. and overnight lows settle near 71 degrees. Warm and muggy. Classic. Slide over to Tampa Bay and it's a completely different vibe. 80 degrees, sunny skies, not a storm in sight. Tonight eases to 61 degrees with a few clouds drifting in. Nice evening to sit on the porch. Up in Central Florida, you caught a break too. Mostly sunny, 76 degrees. Tonight drops to a refreshing 58 degrees. That's open the windows weather. North Florida wins the day though. Pure sunshine, 71 degrees, cooling to 52 tonight. Crisp enough to grab a light jacket. Now here's where it gets interesting. High pressure muscles in tomorrow, flipping the winds to the northeast. Most of the state stays dry with highs in the mid to upper 70s. South Florida sees a few morning coastal showers, then clearing by afternoon near 78 degrees. The real story is what builds from there. That high pressure locks in easterly winds all week, pumping Gulf moisture inland. Afternoon pop up showers become a daily habit, especially over the interior. Temperatures climb fast. Mid 80s by Wednesday. Flirting with 90 degrees inland by Friday. and the beaches? Dangerous rip currents develop by Tuesday with seas building to 5 to 8 feet. Stay out of the surf. Charge your phone and keep the umbrella in the car this week. You'll need both. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. A cold front pushed through yesterday and now it's just. Sitting there. Draped across South Florida like a wet towel on a pool chair. That stalled front is the whole story today. In the next 24 hours. North of it? Gorgeous. Jacksonville's soaking up sunshine with highs near 71 degrees. Drive south to Orlando and Tampa Bay, same deal. Mostly sunny, 77 to 79 degrees. Perfect patio weather. South Florida, you drew the short straw. That dying front overhead means a coin flip on showers and thunderstorms between 11 A.M. and 11 P.M. Miami and Fort Lauderdale top out around 79 degrees, but it'll feel sticky. Keep the umbrella close. Quick morning note. If you were up early in North Florida, you probably drove through fog. Dense patches lingered through 9 A.M. That's cleared out now, but heads up for tomorrow morning too. Beach folks, listen up. High rip current risk at Volusia and North Brevard beaches today. Stay out of the surf. South of Cape Canaveral, moderate risk. Not the day to test your swimming skills. Tonight clears out nicely. Jacksonville cools to 53 degrees. Central Florida settles near 58. South Florida stays balmy at 71. Monday? Sunshine everywhere. but northeast winds kick up along the coast, gusting to 20 miles an hour by afternoon. That onshore breeze sticks around all week. Now the week ahead gets interesting. High pressure locks in and cranks the thermostat. Low 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday and Friday. We're flirting with 90 degrees inland. Record highs are on the table. The coast stays cooler thanks to those persistent east winds, but Southwest Florida and inland spots will feel like May showed up two months early. In One bright spot to close on. Sunrise at 6, 52 A.M., sunset at 6:26 P.M. Nearly twelve hours of daylight. Spring equinox is just nineteen days away. I'll be watching those record temps all week. Should be a wild ride. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, grab that coffee and listen up. If you're driving across North Florida right now, you're driving blind. Dense fog has visibility down to a quarter mile from the Suwannee Valley through Southeast Georgia. That fog lifts by 9 A.M. Once the sun burns through. Until then. Slow down. In the next 24 hours. So what's going on? A frontal boundary pushed south yesterday and ran out of gas. It's just sitting over South Florida now, acting like a moisture magnet. That means scattered storms fire up after 7 A.M. Down in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. They peak around midday. You're looking at a quarter inch of rain, maybe less. Nothing dramatic, but keep the umbrella handy. Meanwhile, the rest of the state? High pressure is running the show. Sunshine and easy breezes. North Florida climbs into the low 70s. Central Florida pushes the upper 70s. Tampa Bay and South Florida flirt with the low 80s. Tonight, inland spots cool to the 50s. The coast holds in the low 60s. Quick safety note. Volusia and northern Brevard beaches have a high rip current risk today. Stay out of that water. Now the week ahead is where things get interesting. Monday, high pressure building off New England sends breezy northeast winds our way. Those winds stick around and create daily coastal showers Tuesday through Friday. Inland areas stay drier until Thursday and Friday, when sea breeze storms pop up. The real headline? Heat. Temperatures climb every single day. By Thursday and Friday, inland thermometers hit the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. The coast stays 51 degrees to 51 degrees cooler thanks to that ocean breeze. We're talking potential record highs Thursday into the weekend. March first. and we're already chasing records. I'll be tracking those numbers all week. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good evening. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. A cold front is draped across the middle of the state right now. and it's splitting Florida into two completely different evenings. North of it, skies are clearing. South of it, storms are still firing. In the next 24 hours. Let's talk about who needs to pay attention. South Florida sees the most action tonight. A marginal severe risk stretches from Palm Beach to Lake Okeechobee. Strong winds, small hail, maybe even an isolated spin up. Highs hit 80 degrees today with storms tapering off after 8 P.M. Lows settle near 70. Tomorrow brings another round of scattered storms with highs near 78. Keep your weather app handy. Slide up to Tampa Bay. Showers and thunderstorms popped this afternoon with highs around 76 degrees. Any lingering shower chance fades before 7 P.M. Lows dip to 59. Sunday? Mostly sunny and a gorgeous 79. Central Florida sat right under the front all day. Mostly cloudy, high near 74 degrees, maybe a stray shower. Tonight clears out with lows near 58. Sunday opens up to sunshine and 77. Now up north, you're already winning. High pressure is muscling in from the north. Partly sunny today, 66 degrees, northeast winds gusting to 17 miles an hour. Tonight, lows drop to 51 with patchy fog developing after 5 A.M. Once that burns off Sunday morning, you're looking at sunny skies and 71 degrees. That's a postcard day. Quick heads up for Panhandle beachgoers. Dangerous rip currents from Walton to Gulf County through tonight. Stay out of that water. Looking ahead, that front fizzles by Monday. Then temperatures actually climb. By midweek, inland spots could push into the mid 80s with breezy onshore winds and scattered afternoon showers. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just 20 days out. Charge your phone tonight. South Florida. You might need those storm alerts before sunrise. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good afternoon. Florida. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, we've a slow-moving boundary slicing through the state today. and it's acting like a divider between two different worlds. South of this front, you're dealing with tropical moisture and highs near 80 degrees. North of it? You're sitting in the 60s with dry air. That front is dragging its heels as it drifts offshore, which means the weather you see right now is the weather you keep until it passes. In the next 24 hours. Down in South Florida, you're in the bullseye for energy this afternoon. Highs top out near 80 degrees, but that heat is fueling scattered showers and thunderstorms. Keep an eye on the sky near Lake Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast — a few storms could pack a punch with gusty winds or small hail. The activity fizzles out this evening as the front finally sags south. You'll wake up to around 70 degrees. Sunday brings a mix of sun and clouds, staying warm at 78 degrees. In Central Florida, you're caught in the middle. Expect a high near 74 degrees with a few showers possible. Once that front clears tonight, the drier air moves in. Lows drop to the upper 50s. Sunday looks sunny and pleasant, warming back up to 77 degrees. Up in North Florida, you're already in the clear. Highs hit the mid 60s under mostly sunny skies. Tonight, temperatures tumble to around 51 degrees. You might see some patchy fog late, so take it slow if you're driving early. Sunday brings plenty of sunshine with a high near 71 degrees. Looking ahead, the pattern shifts next week. High pressure slides east, setting up a persistent onshore wind flow. That pumps moisture back inland, giving us coastal showers each afternoon, mainly in the south. Boaters, watch out — seas build and conditions get choppy by Tuesday and Wednesday. Despite the rain, temperatures climb above normal, with most of us cracking the 80s. Charge those phones and keep the umbrellas handy. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That rain hammering your roof overnight? Nearly half an inch across parts of the state. and it left a parting gift. Dense fog. If you're driving inland routes before 9 A.M., slow way down. Visibility could vanish on you. In the next 24 hours. So what's going on? A dying cold front is draped across central Florida like a wet towel nobody wants to pick up. Tropical moisture is pooled south of it. We're talking moisture levels near the 95th percentile for late February. That's basically summer juice in a winter atmosphere. The front's crawling south. and drier air is chasing it from the northwest. but until that swap happens, central Florida sits right in the crosshairs. Up in North Florida, you're getting off easy. Cloudy skies, highs in the mid to upper 60s. Not bad at all. Central Florida catches the action. Scattered showers and thunderstorms fire up this afternoon. Highs reach the low to mid 70s. The bullseye for stronger storms? Lake Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast, roughly between 2 P.M. and 4 P.M. Gusty winds and small hail are the main threats. Nothing catastrophic, but enough to rattle your patio furniture. Down in South Florida, partly sunny skies and highs near 80 degrees. A stray shower is possible, but you're mostly watching the fireworks from a distance. Everything fizzles by evening. Skies clear statewide tonight. Lows settle into the mid 50s up north, upper 50s through central. and a balmy 70 degrees in South Florida. Now the good news. Sunday brings wall to wall sunshine. Comfortable 70s in the north, upper 70s central, low 80s south. Monday through Wednesday stays mostly sunny but breezy. Coastal gusts hit 20 to 25 miles an hour by midweek. Thursday and Friday? Warm and dry. Low to mid 80s statewide. Charge your phones before those afternoon storms roll through. You'll want radar handy. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Here's the situation. A weakening cold front has basically stalled out right over the peninsula. It's acting like a magnet for moisture, pulling in heavy showers and thunderstorms straight from the Gulf. This creates a tale of two states. South Florida stays mostly sunny and warm. Meanwhile. Central and North Florida deal with rounds of rain and storms. The good news? This front finally pushes south by Sunday, bringing drier air to finish your weekend. In the next 24 hours. Down in South Florida, you're seeing the best of the sunshine today. Highs reach a warm 79 degrees. Tonight stays mild with a low around 71. You might see a stray shower late, but most of the rain holds off. Saturday looks fantastic with a high near 80 and mostly sunny skies, though you could see storms late in the day. Heading up to Central Florida. Orlando and the surrounding areas. You're in the thick of it today. Showers and thunderstorms are likely. Highs top out near 74 degrees. Tonight stays cloudy with a low around 63. Rain continues overnight and into Saturday morning. By the afternoon, the rain tapers off and you hit 74 degrees again. Up in North Florida. Jacksonville and the north are seeing showers and storms this afternoon. You peak near 79 degrees before falling back. Tonight turns cooler with a low around 58. The rain clears out Saturday. You'll see mostly cloudy skies with a high near 66. Over in Tampa Bay, it's a wet afternoon along the coast. Expect showers and storms with a high near 78. Tonight stays wet with a low around 65. Rain chances remain high overnight. Saturday sees a high near 77 with partly sunny skies. High pressure builds in behind that front. This sets up a persistent onshore wind flow from the Atlantic. Expect a warming trend through the week. Highs climb back into the low 80s by Tuesday. You'll also see a daily chance for coastal showers. Boaters should note that winds increase by midweek. That could create hazardous conditions on the Atlantic waters. Keep that umbrella handy for the next couple of days. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Folks, you felt it today. That heavy, sticky air clinging to everything. There's a reason for it. A cold front is draped across the state right now. and it's in no hurry to leave. Think of it as a house guest who showed up with luggage. and no departure date. In the next 24 hours. The front is stalling. That means rounds of showers and thunderstorms tonight and right through Saturday. Some of these storms mean business. We're talking gusty winds up to 50 miles an hour, frequent lightning. and small hail. The kind of afternoon where your car alarm goes off and you just shrug. So where's the action? North Florida got hit first. Jacksonville topped out at 69 degrees today with showers already rolling through. Tonight, lows drop to 50 degrees as the front parks itself overhead. Saturday, the rain finally tapers and cooler, drier air sneaks in behind it. Slide south to Tampa Bay. You hit 77 degrees today with scattered storms. Tonight stays unsettled with lows near 60 degrees. Saturday morning brings lingering showers before skies start to clear. Orlando sits right in the bullseye. 76 degrees this afternoon, but the storms are the real headline. Rain continues tonight with lows around 59 degrees. Saturday afternoon? Another round fires up when the sea breeze collides with that stalled front. Down in Miami, you dodged the worst of it early. 83 degrees with some sunshine. but storms creep in after midnight tonight. Lows stay balmy near 67 degrees. Statewide, expect half an inch to an inch of rain. Welcome news for drought conditions, but not nearly enough to fix things. Now the good stuff. Sunday, high pressure muscles in. Skies clear. Temperatures climb back into the upper 70s and low 80s. Early next week stays warm and mostly sunny with just a few coastal showers each afternoon. Smooth sailing through Thursday. If you're catching storms tonight, keep your phone charged and stay off the roads during the heaviest downpours. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That sticky warmth you're feeling right now? Enjoy it. A cold front is sliding south across the state as we speak. and it's dragging rain behind it like a wet blanket. In the next 24 hours. The front is losing energy as it drops south. That means North Florida gets hit first and hardest. Showers and thunderstorms are already firing up. and by late afternoon, storms could pack gusts near 40 miles an hour. Highs reach 79 degrees before temperatures nosedive tonight. Saturday morning greets you at 58 degrees. That's a 53 degrees drop overnight. Central Florida, your turn comes this afternoon.

Highs hit 82 degrees today, settling to 62 degrees overnight. Over in Tampa Bay, clouds are already thickening. Storms arrive this afternoon. and the front stalls right on top of you. That keeps showers lingering into Saturday. Highs near 78 degrees, dropping to 65 degrees tonight. South Florida, you're the last in line. Mostly sunny with highs near 79 degrees. A slight chance of thunderstorms develops after 7 P.M. As the front creeps closer. Lows only dip to 71 degrees. Barely a inconvenience. Saturday gets interesting. The front parks itself across Central and North Florida, squeezing out more rain. Watch the east coast Saturday afternoon. That's where the sea breeze collides with the front. and a strong storm or two could pop with small hail. Now the good news. Sunday the front finally pushes out. Sunshine floods back in with upper 70s at the coast, upper 80s inland. Monday through Thursday stays mostly dry with breezy east winds. Scattered coastal showers each afternoon, nothing to cancel plans over. Temperatures climb into the low 80s at the beach, upper 80s inland.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast. It's Thursday, February 26th. Grab that coffee and step outside. You'll feel 48 degrees across Central Florida right now. That's the kind of morning where you question your wardrobe choices.. Then remember you live in paradise. South Florida, you barely noticed. Mid 60s overnight. Must be nice. Now the good news. Sunshine takes over today and temperatures climb fast. Central Florida pushes to 79 degrees by mid afternoon. Tampa Bay lands right around 78. North Florida reaches 74, but you'll feel some gusty southwest winds up to 17 miles an hour. South Florida warms to 76 with a slim chance of a passing shower later today. Folks, one serious note. Those gusty winds and bone dry air are a bad combination. A Red Flag Warning kicks in from 1 P.M. to 6 P.M. across northern counties near the I-4 corridor. No outdoor burning today. Not even a thought. Tonight settles in mild. Lows in the upper 50s to low 60s statewide. Tampa Bay, watch for patchy fog rolling in after midnight. Friday is the headliner. Highs soar into the low to mid 80s almost everywhere. South Florida could flirt with 85 degrees inland. Moisture creeps back in, so afternoon showers and maybe a rumble of thunder become possible. Looking ahead, a weak front slides through Friday night into Saturday. That's when rain chances peak. Central and North Florida see the most action Saturday, though totals stay light, mostly under half an inch. Sunday dries out beautifully. Then high pressure parks itself over us early next week. Monday through Wednesday? Dry, warm, highs in the low to mid 80s. A few coastal showers could sneak in Tuesday and Wednesday, but nothing to cancel plans over. I'll be tracking that Friday front closely tonight. See you tomorrow with the latest. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, this morning parts of the state woke up to 47 degrees. Right now? Seventy two and sunny. A 47 degrees swing since daybreak. Your thermostat didn't malfunction. That actually happened. South Florida is living its best life tonight. Seventy two degrees under crystal clear skies. Lows only dip to 67 with a gentle southeast breeze around 9 miles an hour. Thursday pushes to 76. Gorgeous. Slide up to Central Florida and it's a different bedtime story. Sunny today at 73 degrees, but tonight drops to 47 under mostly clear skies. That's a 47 degrees overnight tumble. Thursday bounces right back to 79 with gusty southwest winds kicking up to 20 miles an hour. Tampa Bay topped out at 70 today. Tonight settles near 50. Thursday climbs to 78 with wall to wall sunshine. North Florida saw 71 degrees this afternoon. Tonight cools to 49 with southwest gusts reaching 18 miles an hour. Thursday warms to 78. Two quick safety notes. Rip currents are dangerous along Palm Beach County beaches through Thursday evening. Stay out of that surf. And wildfire smoke from Collier County may cut visibility on Alligator Alley.. So slow down on I-47 if you're driving that stretch. Now the week ahead tells a story in two acts. Act one runs through Thursday. Warm, sunny, beautiful. Highs pushing upper 70s to low 80s. Act two arrives Friday when a cold front crashes the party. Showers and thunderstorms roll statewide, peaking Saturday before clearing out Sunday. And a fun little reminder.. The spring equinox is just three weeks out. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every single day now. You can feel it. Charge your phone and check those beach flags before heading out tomorrow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. So Florida woke up at 48 degrees this morning. Frost advisories ran until 8 A.M. Across inland areas. If your windshield looked like a snow globe.. Yeah, that was real. But here's the good news. High pressure is sliding offshore right now, pulling in southerly winds. That means warmth is already on the way back. Down in South Florida, you're sitting pretty at 72 degrees this afternoon. Central Florida matches that. North Florida and Tampa Bay land right around 70. Not bad for a day that started with frost on the grass. Tonight stays comfortable. South Florida only dips to 66 degrees. Central Florida cools to 48. North Florida and Tampa Bay settle near 51 to 52. One thing to watch. Fire danger is elevated through Thursday. Humidity drops into the 30s this afternoon inland. And southwest winds bump up to 10 miles an hour today, then 10 to 15 tomorrow. If you're doing any outdoor burning.. Just don't. Thursday the heat keeps building. South Florida pushes 78 degrees. Central Florida hits 80. North Florida and Tampa Bay reach the upper 70s. Then Friday gets interesting. Mid 80s inland. Near 80 along the coast. Your AC might kick on for the first time in weeks. But moisture is building ahead of a slow moving cold front. Rain chances climb Friday afternoon, then showers and thunderstorms become likely Friday night into Saturday. Especially over North and Central Florida. We're talking three quarters of an inch to over an inch of rain. Honestly? The drought needs every drop. Sunday clears out behind the front. Onshore winds keep us in the 70s to low 80s through early next week. A few coastal showers possible, but mostly dry and pleasant. Charge your phones tonight. I'll have the full storm timing for you tomorrow morning. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, if you stepped outside this morning and thought.. Wait, did I move to Georgia? You're not alone. Frost is coating lawns across inland Florida right now. Temps in the 30s. Even parts of South Florida dipped into the low 30s overnight. Winter's last little jab before it taps out. And it's tapping out. High pressure slides east today, flipping winds to the south. That's your warm air express. By this afternoon, you're feeling a completely different state. Jacksonville and the Panhandle climb to 70 degrees. Slide down to Tampa Bay, same story. Orlando and Central Florida push to 72. Miami and South Florida settle into the low 70s. Sun on your shoulders, coffee on the porch. That's February done right. Tonight stays comfortable. Inland lows land in the upper 40s to low 50s. Along the coast, mid 50s to low 60s. Thursday cranks the dial higher. Upper 70s to low 80s statewide. South Florida could kiss 80 degrees inland. Now.. Friday's where the plot thickens. A slow moving front rolls in Friday afternoon. Rain chances start modest, then climb sharply Friday night into Saturday. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, especially across North and Central Florida. Rainfall totals look like three quarters of an inch to an inch and a quarter over those two days. With the drought we've been dealing with, your lawn is practically begging for it. Looking past the weekend, that front exits south by Sunday. High pressure builds from the north, bringing easterly winds and scattered coastal showers. Temps hold steady in the upper 70s to low 80s through Tuesday. Partly sunny with a few stray showers hugging the coastline. Typical late February paradise. I'll be tracking that Friday front closely tonight. Come back tomorrow for the full breakdown. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — Florida is serving up one of those gorgeous late-February evenings where you step outside and think, "Yeah, this is why I live here." If you're heading out tonight, you're going to love it. Let's talk about what you're seeing right now. Down in Miami and the Keys, you've got temperatures sitting in the mid-seventies with humidity that's actually behaving itself for once. A light breeze off Biscayne Bay makes it feel like paradise — because, well, it's. Perfect evening for a walk along the waterfront. Heading up the coast to the Tampa Bay area, you're at about seventy-two degrees. Skies are mostly clear. And if you're catching a sunset over Clearwater Beach tonight, you'll want to have that phone camera ready. It's going to be a good one. Over in Orlando, you're sitting pretty at seventy-one. Theme park folks, this is your sweet spot — comfortable enough to enjoy the rides without melting into a puddle. Here's the thing though: overnight lows are dipping into the upper fifties, so grab a light jacket if you're staying out late. Up in Jacksonville and the Panhandle, it's a slightly different story. You're seeing temps in the mid-sixties. And there's a bit more cloud cover creeping in from the northwest. Pensacola might catch some scattered showers by early Wednesday morning, so if you're in the western Panhandle, you'll want to keep that umbrella handy. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Wednesday brings a weak cold front pushing through north Florida. That means brief showers for the northern half of the state, but south Florida? You're staying dry and sunny. By Thursday and Friday, temperatures bounce back into the upper seventies statewide. We're talking **beautiful** spring-preview weather heading into the weekend. One more thing — if you've been eyeing a fishing trip, Saturday's shaping up with calm seas and light winds along the Gulf Coast. Perfect conditions for getting out on the water. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care. And , Florida!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, if you stepped outside this morning and thought someone swapped Florida for North Carolina.. You weren't dreaming. We dropped to 38 degrees overnight. Thirty one. That's fifteen degrees below normal for late February. Right now you're sitting at 46 degrees under skies so clear they look photoshopped. Let me walk you through the state. Up in North Florida, you'll top out around 58 degrees by 4 PM. Winds shift from northwest to west around 1 PM. Then temperatures slide back to 38 degrees by 4 AM. That's jacket weather all day long. Slide into Central Florida and you're seeing 61 degrees this afternoon. Lows dip to 39 degrees around 5 AM, then climb to 62 degrees by 11 AM Wednesday. Here's the kicker.. Patchy frost develops after 2 AM. Yes. Frost. In Florida. Over in Tampa Bay, similar story. Highs near 61 degrees today, lows around 42 degrees by 4 AM, warming to 62 degrees by 11 AM tomorrow. Down in South Florida, you've got it easiest. Highs reach 65 degrees with winds shifting north to northeast around 3 PM. Overnight lows only drop to 57 degrees. That's practically tropical compared to the rest of us. Now the important stuff. A Frost Advisory kicks in from 2 AM to 8 AM Wednesday for inland areas. Cover those sensitive plants tonight. Critically low humidity means elevated fire danger statewide. And a Rip Current Statement holds for Palm Beach County through Wednesday evening. Stay out of that surf. The week ahead tells a much warmer story. Highs jump into the 70s Wednesday, then push near 80 degrees Thursday. Friday into Saturday, a slow moving cold front brings scattered showers and thunderstorms. After months of drought, we could see a half inch to an inch of rain. That's music to every lawn in the state. Sunrise hit at 6:57 AM. Sunset comes at 6:23 PM. We're gaining almost two minutes of daylight every day now. If your plants survive tonight, they've earned a medal. Take care of them. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, North Florida is waking up under a freeze warning right now. South Florida? Dealing with dangerous rip currents and wildfire smoke. Same state, completely different mornings. Up north, you're stepping out to 33 degrees at 7 A.M. Feels like 33 degrees with the wind. That freeze warning holds until 9 A.M. West of I-95. If you've got exposed pipes or tender plants, protect them now. The afternoon reward? A climb to 58 degrees by 4 P.M. Tonight, patchy frost sneaks back as lows settle near 38. But tomorrow.. 71 degrees. Winter's last stand ends fast. Slide down to Orlando and Central Florida. Wind chills near 33 degrees this morning. A frost advisory kicks in tonight as temps drop to 35 by 5 A.M. Wednesday. Then the plot twist. Wednesday afternoon hits 72 degrees. That's a 37 degree swing in one day. By Thursday you're touching 80. Tampa Bay, you're at 36 degrees at 7 A.M., feeling like 31. You'll only reach 60 by 3 P.M. Still ten degrees below normal. Wednesday brings 71 and south winds. Rip currents stay dangerous at area beaches through this evening. Stay out of the water. Down in Miami, 47 degrees at 6 A.M. You'll rebound to 64 by 5 P.M. Under full sunshine. Watch for dense smoke from the Big Cypress wildfire reducing visibility along Alligator Alley through mid morning. High rip current risk runs through Wednesday evening from Palm Beach to Collier County. Now the week ahead. Wednesday and Thursday are the headliners. Seventies statewide, eighties by Thursday. Feels like someone flipped a switch. Then Friday, a cold front rolls through with scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially north of I-4. A good chance of rain Friday night into Saturday. Half an inch to an inch possible. Sunday and Monday dry out with upper 70s and sunshine returning. If this podcast helps you plan your morning, drop us a quick rating. Takes five seconds. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, Florida is about to get a reality check tonight. That cold front that blew through? It's not messing around. By early Tuesday morning, you're waking up to temperatures you'd expect in Georgia.. Not the Sunshine State. Let's take the tour. Up in North Florida, tonight drops to around 31 degrees. Wind chills push that down to 31 degrees. That's freeze warning territory. Frost on your windshield, frost on your plants, frost on your patience. Tuesday stays sunny but tops out in the upper 50s. That's a good 31 degrees below where you'd normally be. Slide down into Central Florida and you're not much better off. Lows tonight around 34 degrees, but wind chills make it feel like 27. Tuesday brings sunshine and highs in the low 60s. Still chilly by our standards. Over in Tampa Bay, you're looking at 36 degrees tonight. Wind chills near 32. Tuesday climbs to the low 60s under sunny skies. Now South Florida.. You're the lucky ones. Lows tonight around 46 degrees, feeling closer to 40 with the wind. Tuesday afternoon pushes into the mid 60s. That's practically tropical compared to everyone else. Here's the thing. This cold snap has a very short lease. Wednesday the warmth comes roaring back. Highs jump into the 70s statewide. Thursday some spots flirt with 80 degrees. Then Friday.. Plot twist. Another front barrels in with rain and thunderstorms. The weekend stays unsettled with afternoon showers and highs holding in the 70s. Tonight, though, protect those plants. Bring the pets inside. Cover any exposed pipes, especially in North and Central Florida. And if you're near the coast, rip currents are running. Not the week for a swim. I'll be tracking that Friday front closely. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay warm tonight!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, Florida is pulling double duty today. Freeze warnings up north.. And Red Flag fire warnings across half the state. Same day. Same sunshine. Totally different problems. Let's start where it stings. North Florida is the coldest spot right now. Highs only hit 51 degrees around 3 PM. Winds gusting to 17 miles an hour. By 7 AM Tuesday, wind chills drop to 31 degrees. That's frostbite territory. Tonight? Lows fall to 31 degrees with widespread frost. Slide down to Central Florida. You're topping out around 55 degrees near 4 PM. Northwest gusts push 20 miles an hour. Tonight brings a hard freeze inland. Lows hit 34 degrees. By 5 AM Tuesday, wind chills crater to 27 degrees. Over in Tampa Bay, highs reach 54 degrees around 1 PM. Winds stay calmer, near 9 miles an hour. But by 7 AM Tuesday you're feeling 31 degrees. Lows tonight settle near 36. Now push south. Miami and the Gold Coast see 62 degrees around 2 PM with breezy northwest winds, 14 to 22 miles an hour. By 6 AM Tuesday you're down to 46 degrees. Wind chills make it feel like 40. That's grab a jacket cold for South Florida. Two things you'll want to take seriously tonight. Cover those plants. Bring pets inside. And with Red Flag Warnings flying across North Central Florida, don't burn anything outdoors. Critically low humidity plus 30 mile an hour gusts equals disaster waiting to happen. Also, rip currents are running high on both coasts. Stay out of the water. Now the good news. Tuesday starts another freeze risk inland, but by Wednesday.. Highs climb back into the 70s. Thursday and Friday? Upper 70s, low 80s, with thunderstorms likely Friday. The weekend parks itself in the low 80s with mostly sunny skies. Winter's last gasp is tonight. I'll be watching the overnight freeze closely. Charge your phone and set that plant alarm. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. And folks.. Florida woke up thinking it was Minnesota today. Step outside and you'll feel 44 degrees. That's the warm part. It gets worse from here. We've got Freeze Warnings, Red Flag Warnings. And Cold Weather Advisories all flying at once. This is the kind of cold that makes your orange trees nervous. Wind chills are dropping into the upper teens overnight. Let that sink in. Upper teens. In Florida. Up in North Florida, you're barely cracking 52 degrees today. That's 31 degrees to 31 degrees below normal. Tonight? Down to 31 with winds at 15 miles an hour and patchy frost by dawn. Hard freeze territory by Tuesday morning. Slide down to Orlando and you'll hit 55 today. Sounds almost reasonable until tonight's 34 degrees arrives. Wind chills near 27 by early Tuesday. Cover those plants now, not later. Tampa Bay tops out at 54 with lows near 36 tonight. Not quite freezing, but your body won't know the difference with those 10 to 14 mile an hour winds. Even Miami only reaches 62 today. North winds gusting to 22 miles an hour have a Red Flag Warning posted. Any spark becomes a wildfire in this bone dry air. The Keys? High rip current risk. Stay out of the water. Now the big picture for the week. Tonight is rock bottom. The coldest night, period. Tuesday starts the climb. Wednesday, the 70s return like an old friend. Thursday pushes 80 degrees in Tampa and Miami. You'll want sunglasses again. But there's a twist rolling in late week. A front brings scattered showers and a few thunderstorms by Friday. After days of desert dry air, rain chances jump to a coin flip south of I-31 degrees. The weekend stays warm and unsettled with low 80s. Protect your pipes tonight. Bring the pets in. Check on neighbors who might need a hand. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay warm out there!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Florida Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, if you enjoyed today's 80 degree warmth, I hope you took a mental picture. Because tonight? The rug gets pulled out from under us. A cold front is barreling through the state right now. Behind it, Arctic air is rushing south like it forgot something in Miami. Winds are gusting up to 40 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that steals patio cushions and doesn't apologize. Down in South Florida, you're dropping from 84 degrees this afternoon to 51 tonight. That's a 30 degree freefall. A slight chance of showers hangs around this evening, but skies clear fast. Tampa Bay follows suit. You hit 74 today. By midnight you're staring at 43. Northwest winds at 12 miles an hour keep wind chills locked in the upper 30s. Push north into Central Florida and things get serious. Highs in the mid 70s today crash to the upper 30s overnight. Wind chills dip into the low 30s. Tomorrow's high barely cracks the mid 50s. That's January weather wearing a February mask. North Florida takes the biggest hit. You're plunging from near 70 this afternoon to 36 by morning. Northwest gusts hit 32 miles an hour. That wind finds every gap in your jacket. Now here's what you'll want to keep an eye on. Monday morning brings widespread frost, especially inland. A Freeze Watch kicks in Monday night. Cover those plants. Protect those pipes. The cold grips us through Wednesday. Then the pattern flips. Highs climb back into the 70s by Thursday. Friday? We're flirting with the 80s again like none of this ever happened. I'll be watching the freeze situation all night. Charge your phone and set that extra alarm for the cold tomorrow.

Folks, enjoy your last warm breath today because a cold front is barreling through the state like it has somewhere to be. And honestly? It's going to flip everything upside down by tonight. Right now, South Florida is soaking up 84 degrees around 1 P.M. That's beach weather in February. But here's the twist. By 7 P.M., you're down to 51 degrees. Patchy fog burns off this morning, sun takes over, then southwest winds shift west around 3 P.M. A slight chance of showers sneaks in between 5 and 7 P.M. Tonight, northwest winds crank up to 22 miles an hour. You'll want a jacket you forgot you owned. Up in Central Florida, thunderstorms roll through between 11 A.M. And 1 P.M. You hit 75 degrees at 32 degrees, then the bottom drops out. By 7 A.M. Monday? Thirty nine degrees. Feels like 31. That's a temperature crash that'll make your citrus trees nervous. North Florida is already feeling it. Highs only touch 71 degrees around 4 P.M. By Monday morning, 35 degrees with northwest winds at 18 miles an hour making it feel like 24. Patchy frost is likely in rural spots tonight. Cover those plants. Tampa Bay catches a quick rain chance near 11 A.M., then the front muscles through. Seventy two degrees at midday, 44 by Monday sunrise. Feels like 38 with that northwest breeze. Now the week ahead tells a wild story. Monday and Tuesday stay locked in the cold. Freeze warnings, wind chills in the 20s and 30s. Wind advisories with gusts hitting 40 miles an hour. Red Flag Warnings for fire weather too. This front brought the whole toolbox. But Wednesday the thaw begins. Seventies return. By Friday you're flirting with 80 again. Charge your phone, grab that extra blanket. And maybe text your neighbor with the tropical plants. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

This February sun will fool you and burn you before you know it. Slide over to Tampa Bay and you've got 84 degrees with a gentle southwest breeze around 8 miles an hour. Great day to be outside doing just about anything. Now head up to North Florida. You're still balmy at 85 degrees, but the wind picks up a bit. Gusts hitting 13 miles an hour from the southwest.
