TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — This morning, pre-dawn temperatures are starting off in the middle 60s with areas of clear sky. The cooling is prompted by existing dry air and less of the deep, tropical moisture source to our south.
Some of this drier influence stretches into this afternoon, so there's broad support for another day with ample sunshine and occasional passing clouds. Temperatures will soar under these conditions, plus a wind flow that will be northwest to west for most of the day before the seabreeze kicks in, so the expected outcome is for highs to be in the mid to upper 90s. As moisture will still be somewhat limited, the heat index won't be much above actual air temps.
An isolated shower is possible late in the day and at night in the tri-state region.
Sunday features a little more moisture, so morning lows will be milder in the upper 60s. Sun will blend with areas of clouds. A couple more showers or storms can roll across southern Georgia and nearby state line area late Sunday, but receiving rain is going to be an exception Sunday rather than an expectation. The heat continues with highs in the mid 90s.
Memorial Day has a muggier feel with morning lows around 70° and scattered clouds. A few more showers and storms are possible, particularly in the late afternoon, evening, and early part of the nighttime. Mid 90s are again in the forecast for highs.
Scattered rain and thunder can become more common Tuesday and beyond, with a corresponding decrease in high temp projections.
