Discussion
High pressure that first formed over central Canada last week has drifted southeastward and it has emerged over the western Atlantic Ocean. As a result, winds on the southern periphery of this system have become onshore across central Florida and these persistent E-NE winds will continue right into the upcoming weekend. While moisture levels will tend to increase somewhat in lower levels of the atmosphere, showers should remain rather sparse across the Florida Peninsula during the remainder of the week. One final note, just a reminder...we turn the clocks ahead early Sunday morning.
