MIDWAY, Fl. (WTXL) -- The severe threat is over. A clearing and quick cooling trend is underway, but showers in the midweek can't be ruled out. After that, however, it cools down considerably.
To start, the entire viewing area is under a WIND ADVISORY until 4:00pm ET. This advisory means that strong winds will take place over the region without the presence of thunderstorms.This is all due to a very strong upper level low and its surface counterpart pulling in air quickly from the west.
In addition, Gale Warnings are a threat:
Small Craft Advisories and High Surf Advisories active, as well. For a full list of active advisories, click here.

Tuesday and Wednesday features more warmth with highs expected to climb to the upper 60s Tuesday, and mid to upper 70s Wednesday. The temperatures are climbing in response to a warm wind shifting from the south temporarily. This is in response to a cold front.
