MIDWAY, Fl. (WTXL) -- It'll feel like Summer for the end of the week (as it has done most of July) with highs climbing back to the lower 90s. A nearby area of low pressure can help spark a few showers, though winds from the north will dry us out somewhat. This will lower rain coverage to an isolated nature (30%).
Thursday and Friday: The low pressure system that was located to our east will still help to promote some showers near and east of I-75, but as it moves further east, more of our western areas will see a slight drying trend as winds from the north clear the sky and prevent the sea breeze from pushing far inland. Forecast lows are in the lower to mid 70s with highs expected to be in the lower 90s.
Rain coverage will be around 30% for central and western counties while counties along and east of I-75 will have rain coverage around 40%.
Beach and Boating forecast information and your Thursday Tide Times are below:
Saturday: Scattered showers and storms are possible as a cold front from the north approaches. While it will increase clouds and rain chances, the afternoon may be rather warm with highs in the lower 90s. Rain coverage will start off higher for South Georgia counties as the front approaches from the north. 40-50% coverage overall.
Sunday: The aforementioned front will help to bring more rain coverage to North Florida as it pushes south. Rain coverage will likely be highest for North Florida (60%) and lowest north of the Florida-Georgia line (30%). Expect lows in the lower 70s and highs in the upper 80s.
Monday and Tuesday: Expect a typical Summer pattern to return as the front stalls to our south, keeping the region somewhat warm and humid. Since the front will likely not be directly overhead or north of us, rain coverage will be isolated and not too high. Expect lows in the lower 70s, highs in the lower 90s, and rain coverage at around 30%.
Wednesday: Signs point toward the front and more moisture building back into the local area. The forecast at this point calls for scattered showers/storms (40% coverage) with lows in the lower 70s and highs in the upper 80s.
