Storm Team Wednesday evening forecast (08/12/2015)

MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) -- The front that the region has been experiencing has helped support winds from the Gulf of Mexico, and that has helped to not only increase cloud cover but rain coverage as well. Rain coverage for the rest of the evening still looks to be highest toward the southeast, as portions of south Georgia have already seen the passage of the front, meaning drier winds from the north are filtering in. That can help cool daytime highs by a few degrees but the heat will still be present. Some may experience a bit more comfort as the dew points drop with those drier winds, lowering resulting heat index readings. Overnight lows into Thursday morning will likely be in the mid 70s inland, closer to 80 degrees near the coast. Thursday afternoon highs are expected to reach the low to mid 90s with less rain as the front stalls to the south (20%). Rain coverage for the southeastern Big Bend and the Suwannee River Valley may be higher as the front may not likely push past this area (30-40%). After Thursday, daytime highs are forecast to range in the lower 90s, closer to seasonal averages, with rain coverage low, but gradually riding up to 40% by next week.
