.DISCUSSION...
FAIRLY TRANQUIL WEATHER PATTERN SHOULD PREVAIL ACROSS SOUTH
FLORIDA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH VERY LITTLE CHANGE FROM
PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGES.

EASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH UPPER RIDGING
FIRMLY ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE AREA KEEPING TEMPERATURES ABOVE
NORMAL. A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND MAINLY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND EAST COAST METRO
AREAS UNDER THE EASTERLY FLOW REGIME. WENT AHEAD OF GUIDANCE...AND
PLACED A SLIGHT CHANCE POP FOR THESE AREAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
SOME PATCHY FOG WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE EACH MORNING THROUGH THE
WEEKEND MAINLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT SOUTHEAST BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO NORTH FLORIDA.
HOWEVER, IT WILL STALL OUT ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA MOVING VERY
LITTLE THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL MAINTAIN THE MOSTLY DRY
FORECAST ALONG WITH WARM TEMPERATURES.
