Brian: Another warm/humid start.. 70's.. near 90 today, a shower or storm near the Lake

Same old, same old this morning! Thursday is dawning as our fourth straight morning with low clouds and fog developing near daybreak as the humidity remains very high and the wind is calm. Just like the past few days, the low clouds should thin as we head toward mid-morning giving way to a partly cloudy sky inland and a mostly sunny sky along the coast. Similar set up to yesterday for this afternoon -- a few isolated showers/storms will develop near Lake Okeechobee very late this afternoon and then head over to the east coast; otherwise, it's dry. Highs today range from the mid to upper 80's at the coast to the low 90's inland.
 
Slightly drier air will move in aloft for tomorrow and Saturday and, despite some of our models painting in rain chances near the Lake, we should stay dry. It will be hot with highs near 90 each day. I'm still thinking that a weak cold front will slip through on Mother's Day morning Sunday with just a few clouds.. and not much in the way of cooler air. But.. it should turn a little less humid for Mom's Day in the afternoon!
 
Hot and humid weather returns by Tuesday next week as a new ridge of high pressure builds in. More details coming up on 6TV starting at 7.. see you there!
