Currently-Thursday... KMLB radar imagery shows mostly dry conditions over east central Florida with a few light isolated showers over the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee county moving east-southeast. GOES-16 satellite imagery shows a stratocumulus cloud deck moving southeast over east central Florida with clouds clearing over Volusia county, as well as portions of Lake, Seminole, and northern Lake counties. Analysis charts show the "cool" front that moved across east central Florida overnight and into this morning just to the south of east central Florida. Current temperatures are in the upper 70s to mid 80s. There is a wide range in dew points with the upper 50s to mid 60s from Brevard and Osceola counties northward and the mid 60s to mid 70s to the south. Breezy northeast winds at 10-15mph with gusts to 25-30mph are forecast through this evening with slightly lower wind speeds from the east-northeast at 10-15mph with gusts to 20-25mph on Thursday. Skies are expected to become partly cloudy tonight into Thursday morning with low temperatures in the low 60s to mid 70s forecast

Friday-Sunday... High pressure (~1020-1026mb) is expected to build over the southeastern US through Saturday with mostly dry weather forecast across east central Florida through Saturday. Moisture is forecast to increase on Sunday as high pressure over the southeastern US weakens and moves east over the western Atlantic. PWATs are forecast to increase to 1.25-2.0" on Sunday with onshore flow. Isolated to scattered generally onshore moving showers and isolated lightning storms are forecast into the afternoon on Sunday (mainly south of Volusia, northern Brevard, and Seminole counties. Afternoon highs in the mid 80s to low 90s are forecast with partly cloudy to partly sunny skies. Lows in the mid 60s to mid 70s Friday morning are forecast.

Monday-Tuesday... Rain shower and lightning storm chances increase to start off the workweek with an major shortwave trough over the western Atlantic and weak high pressure over the northeastern Gulf of America. Guidance is in good agreement that moisture will increase (PWATs ~ 1.90-2.10") on Tuesday ahead of a cold front that is expected to track south over the northern Florida Panhandle. Scattered to numerous showers (40-70%) and isolated to scattered lightning storms are forecast. Afternoon highs in the mid 80s to low 90s are forecast with heat index values in the mid 90s to around 100 degrees.
