It has already been quite cold for this time of year across much of the interior Northwest and Northern Plains with significant accumulating snow in many areas in recent days and the worse may be yet to come. An Arctic blast will send temperatures plunging over the next few days all the way down to the southwestern US and southern Plains and accumulating snow can fall all the way down to states like Texas and New Mexico. In addition, numerous record low temperatures are likely to fall from the Northern Rockies to the southern Plains during this unusual late October cold wave. Meanwhile, in the tropics, Hurricane “Epsilon” will turn to the northeast and accelerate this weekend out over the open waters of the North Atlantic. Another tropical system will intensify over the northwest Caribbean Sea – likely reaching tropical storm status this weekend – and then it could head towards the central Gulf coastal region by the middle of next week.

High pressure off the Northeast US coastline continues to be a main player around here by producing persistent onshore flow and this provides enough low-level moisture for a daily chance of PM showers and thunderstorms. On the tropical scene in the Atlantic Basin, there is now a wave to monitor closely which is currently situated over the northwest Caribbean Sea and it is likely to spread some heavy rainfall into southern Florida. In addition, Hurricane “Epsilon” will turn northeast this weekend and accelerate as it moves over the northern Atlantic and it’ll become a threat to Iceland.

High pressure across the Northeast US continues to be the main player for weather across the Florida Peninsula with an onshore flow of air and enough low-level moisture for a daily chance of PM showers and thunderstorms. On the tropical scene, “Epsilon” has reached hurricane status and will meander over the central Atlantic in coming days before it turns eastward and farther away from the US east coast.

It’ll remain breezy today across central Florida as strong high pressure to our north continues to produce an onshore flow of air. As a result, rough surf and a rip current threat will continue for the next couple of days. Enough moisture will be around to keep the chances of showers and thunderstorms quite high across central Florida; especially, along coastal sections.

It’ll remain windy today across central Florida as strong high pressure to our north produces persistent onshore flow. As a result, there will be dangerous rip currents and rough surf in the western Atlantic and those conditions will last right through the week. Enough moisture will be around to keep the chances of showers and thunderstorms quite high across central Florida; especially, along coastal sections.

The main weather story this week will be the persistent onshore flow as high pressure ridging anchors along the eastern seaboard sea board. As a result, there will be higher surf in the western Atlantic and the rip current threat will continue through much of the week. The ridge falls apart by the upcoming weekend as a trough moves across the eastern US.

It’ll remain warm today across central Florida as we close out the work week and there will be a shot at afternoon showers and thunderstorms as a frontal system approaches this area. The passage of the front in the overnight hours will lead to an increase in onshore flow this weekend as high pressure builds to our north. This persistent onshore flow looks like it’ll last right into the middle part of next week and there can be a daily round of showers and thunderstorms in parts of the area.

The next couple of days will remain warm across central Florida, but changes are coming by the weekend. A frontal system will pass through the region on Friday and high pressure will build to our north as we begin the weekend. As a result, an onshore flow of air will form around here on Saturday and continue into early next week producing windy and cooler conditions across east-central Florida with isolated showers.

The next couple of days will generally be rain-free across central Florida, but changes are coming at week’s end. A frontal system will pass through the region on Friday and high pressure will build to our north as we begin the weekend. As a result, an onshore flow of air will form around here on Saturday and continue at least into early next week producing windy, cooler conditions across east-central Florida with isolated showers.

A weak frontal system will pass south of the region today without much consequence in terms of precipitation and temperatures. However, a frontal passage at week’s end will be have more of an impact across central Florida with windy and cooler conditions returning during the upcoming weekend. As high pressure builds to our north this weekend, an onshore flow will intensify across the region and an increase in low-level moisture can result in scattered showers.
