Thursday turned out to be a gorgeous day with a decent medley of sun and clouds. As we near the week's end, those clouds will grow in number.
High pressure is strengthening over the Carolinas, and that's causing our winds to pick up. Those brisk winds are able to bring clouds from the Atlantic into southwest Florida. That's what we saw on Thursday, and we'll see it for another day on Friday. However, there's an area of energy anchored just off the Texas coastline. That area will sail eastward and will help give us even more clouds to end the week.
So we have clouds coming from both the east and the west, and well, that makes for a mostly cloudy Friday. That's what we're forecasting along with lows in the upper 50s bouncing back to the low 80s come the afternoon.
Those clouds are short lived, and they will quickly erode for your weekend. Partly cloudy skies will hover over the area for Saturday and Sunday. Looks like a fabulous couple of days! We'll see more of the same Monday and Tuesday, too.
Another cold front will approach Wednesday into Thursday of next week. I expect it to fade away as it approaches, and that means our weather will remain quiet.
Temperatures will continue to be in the upper 50s around daybreak, and lower 80s can be expected for daytime highs.
Boaters, use caution when hitting the waters. Winds are getting stronger, and by this time tomorrow they'll be coming from the NE around 15.
