.SYNOPSIS...

Atlantic high pressure will continue to extend its axis westward
across the Florida peninsula through tonight. Southerly evening

ahead of strong cold front will enter the southeastern states on
Thursday night, with chances for showers and thunderstorms
increasing ahead of this boundary from this afternoon through
