MIDWAY, Fl. (WTXL) -- A cold front is getting closer to the region. This will bring more clouds and moisture to our area. Friday will mark the transition to a rainy Saturday. After the front passes, high pressure and hot air quickly returns to dominate next week.

Friday: With an increase in cloud cover due to an approaching cold front, sunshine will obviously not be so dominant. This will help keep temperatures on the "not so hot" side with highs forecast to reach the mid to upper 80s inland and cooler temps are forecast near the coast.

Beach and Boating forecast information is below, followed by your tide times for this Friday:

Saturday: A cold front will start to bring rain to the Big Bend and South Georgia on Saturday morning. Scattered thunderstorms are expected with rain coverage at around 40-50%. Morning lows will be mild (upper 60s to lower 70s). A few storms may be severe, though the threat is low at this time. Strong gusty winds would be the main threat if any storm becomes severe. Expect afternoon highs to be in the lower 80s.

Sunday: Lingering clouds and a stray shower are possible in the early morning with temperatures in the lower 60s expected. For the later morning and afternoon, more sunshine will return. This should quickly warm the area back to the mid and upper 80s.

Monday and Tuesday: Dry and hot air returns to start next week. In the mornings, upper 50s and lower 60s are expected for lows. Afternoon highs are expected to jump to the lower to mid 90s! Only a few clouds are expected on Monday. Tuesday may bring a stray shower or storm (rain coverage less than 20%).

Wednesday and Thursday: Morning lows are forecast to be in the upper 60s and lower 70s. The heat sticks around in the afternoon with temperatures in the lower 90s expected. Rain coverage will be at less than 20% through this period.
