MIDWAY, Fl. (WTXL) -- One more batch of widespread unsettled weather is expected as we move into midweek. Low pressure along the northern Gulf of Mexico will help prime the very moist and warm pattern for more storminess later in the day. As low pressure pushes east, clearing is expected with a few days of dry air moving in to finish the work week.
Wednesday: A large amount of tropical moisture, coupled with nearby low pressure will be the reason we likely see another round of widespread rainfall and scattered storms. Expect up to 1-2 (possibly more) inches of rain where the heaviest storms may gather (higher threat in North Florida). Morning lows start off in the lower 70s with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Rain coverage at it's peak will be around 70% or higher.
Beach and Boating forecast information is below, as well as your Tide Times:
Thursday: The low pressure area and an associated front will push east of the region, allowing a north wind to kick in. This will enhance a drier pattern for Thursday afternoon and Friday! Expect mostly cloudy skies to start (with lows near 70°) and mainly sunny skies in the afternoon, with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Rain coverage is possible for the early morning (30%).
Friday: Drier air will likely keep the morning a bit cool (with lows in the mid 60s). Expect highs in the lower 90s with mainly sunny skies.
Saturday and Sunday: Moisture is expected to slowly re-introduce itself to the area as another tropical air mass from the Gulf of Mexico approaches. Rain coverage will be isolated for both days (20% Sat, 30% Sun) with lows near 70° and highs in the lower 90s. It will be a fairly typical Summer-like pattern.
Monday and Tuesday next week: More tropical moisture will enhance rain coverage further, with scattered storms possible both days (30-40% coverage). Still, expect lows in the lower 70s and highs in the lower 90s.
