Good morning! Drier air is pushing back into southwest Florida this morning as the Atlantic low continues to spin NE of Jacksonville. Expect isolated inland storms this afternoon with highs in the upper 80's along the coast and low 90's elsewhere. The breeze starts light this morning but, like it has all week, will pick up from the northwest this afternoon at 10-15 mph.
Thursday and Friday are essentially carbon copies of today but there will be changes as the holiday weekend approaches. An upper level disturbance will dive out of the Ohio Valley and link with some energy left behind by the Atlantic low as it departs. This will result in an upper level area of low pressure over the eastern Gulf Saturday through Memorial Day with scattered mainly afternoon storms each day. It won't be a wash out, but you will need the umbrella from time to time this weekend!
