High pressure over the western Atlantic will continue to have influence on our weather as it expands westward on coming days. As a result, sunshine will be plentiful around here and high temperatures will come close to the 80 degree mark on a daily basis through the remainder of the week. Two things to watch for over the next couple of days...patchy fog is likely in the late night and early morning hours and rip currents are possible with some stronger winds just offshore.

High pressure will shift off the Northeast US coastline today and an offshore low pressure system will have little impact around here. The bulk of the week will feature upper-level ridging across Florida and the Bahamas. This pattern will limit the chances of rain and a warm low-level flow of air will boost temperatures to 80+ degrees at mid-week and during the latter part of the week. One to watch for over the next couple of days will be the possibility of late night and early morning patchy fog which can cut visibilities quite a bit.

High pressure over the western Atlantic Ocean will continue to pump very warm air into the region and temperatures this afternoon are likely to climb to record territory in Melbourne near the 90 degree mark (record I 90 degrees set in 1980). A cool front arrives on Friday with scattered showers possible and it’ll turn somewhat cooler for the weekend across central Florida.

A very active weather pattern for the eastern half of the nation during the next few days which will include the first significant severe weather outbreak of the season, the first soaking rain event in weeks across the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US, and a changeover of rain-to-accumulating snow in many areas. Severe thunderstorms later today and tonight in the Deep South/Tennessee Valley will be capable of producing torrential rainfall, large hail, damaging wind gusts and tornadoes. A particularly dangerous situation is likely to develop later today in the Mississippi/Alabama region where numerous ingredients are coming together for high probabilities of severe weather. The severe weather threat will shift eastward to the Carolinas and Virginia on Thursday and continue into early Friday. The same storm system that will be contributing to the severe weather outbreak will result in a soaking rain event for the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US on Thursday and Thursday night – the first significant rainfall in weeks in many of those locations. As colder air wraps into the low pressure system later tomorrow night, rain will change to snow in a northwest-to-southeast fashion and there can be snow all the way down into the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor by early Friday.

High pressure over the western Atlantic Ocean remains in control of the weather across central Florida and this system will continue to pump warm air into the region. As a result, temperatures today will climb to the lower 80's and Thursday afternoon could feature record-breaking temperatures up near the 90 degree mark (Thursday's record in Melbourne is 90 degrees set in 1980). A cool front does arrive on Friday with scattered showers possible and it’ll turn somewhat cooler for the weekend across central Florida.

High pressure has intensified over the western Atlantic Ocean and this system will continue to produce southeasterly winds in our area. As a result, it’ll stay quite warm over the next few days with highs today and Wednesday near 80 degrees and then likely all the way in the low or middle 80’s on Thursday afternoon. A cool front does arrive on Friday with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible and it’ll turn somewhat cooler for the weekend across central Florida.

High pressure has re-emerged over the western Atlantic during the past 24 hours or so and this system will produce southeasterly winds in our area as we begin the new work week. As a result, it’ll turn quite warm over the next few days across central Florida with 80 degree highs possible on Tuesday and Wednesday and likely well into the 80's on Thursday. A couple of cool fronts will push our way later in the week potentially bringing somewhat scattered showers and thunderstorms to the central part of Florida and then a bit of a cool down over the weekend.

Dry weather will continue around here into early next week and temperatures will remain at warm levels well up in the 70’s for afternoon highs. In fact, temperatures could peak around the 80 degree mark by the time we start the new work week. High pressure is the driving factor behind this warm, dry stretch of weather across central Florida as it remains parked over the western Atlantic Ocean.

An unseasonably warm weather pattern will continue across the eastern US for the next few days. Strong high pressure is drifting over the western Atlantic Ocean and it has promoted this warm up by producing a broad southwesterly flow of air on its backside. While moisture levels here 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 and weekend.

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.
