WEATHER-PWC


Clouds were in abundance for us on Friday. The skies had a dreary look, yes, but the sunshine will soon return!

The big question… Will it return this weekend? Well, let me take you through the changes and let you know.

We have two systems at play in our local weather pattern. First, high pressure is nudging into the state, and it's bringing low level clouds from the Atlantic to the area. Next is a piece of energy in the upper portions of the atmosphere that made its way over from Texas. It's also giving us added clouds, but they're in the high variety.

So we have clouds coming in from both the east and west. Thankfully, the system that came from Texas will move out by tomorrow afternoon, and guess what that means?

The sun is back!

Thus, we're going to call Saturday, Sunday, and Monday partly sunny. Morning lows will be around 60, and daytime highs - get ready - warming up to the lower if not mid 80s! Not only do we get the sun in full force, we get a warming trend, too.

But that's why we live in Florida, right?

As we go into Tuesday we'll see the clouds increase due to another cold front approaching. However, it's going to become disorganized and fall apart as it gets closer. That's been the trend so far this season, fronts completely dying before reach the region. This means no cold air and no rainfall.

Clouds? Yes, but only for Tuesday and Wednesday. After midweek the sun is back with a vengeance, and the warm temperatures continue. Return to index of stories...
