Cooler Weather On the Way Again

Another cold front, a rather potent one for March, will come through the area Sunday afternoon and will bring a noticeable change to our temperatures.

Today (Saturday) we are looking at a beautiful, warm day with some clouds and a high near 80F. Tonight's low will be around 68F. As the front approaches tomorrow we will feel the winds pick up in the morning and ahead of the front we will see some showers and thunderstorms. Areas affected with the thunderstorms may see gusts up to 40MPH. The front should pass the area late afternoon with the cooler and dryer air behind. Lows Sunday night will be in the upper 40s. The cool weather will stay around through Wednesday. By Thursday temperatures will be increasing to near normal for this time of the year. So do not put the jackets away yet.

One good thing about this front coming in tomorrow is the possibility of rainfall. So far this year we have had .57 inches of rain here at the house and all official stations in the area are well below normal for the year. Though this is normally our "dry season," we have been much dryer than normal. Below is the drought map for the southeast US and as you can see the extreme southeast coast of Florida is now entering into a moderate drought.

Enjoy the weekend and more updates later.
