The upper level trough settles into northern Florida by mid- week keeping a westerly flow. Plenty of moisture will be across the area for the work week, so rain chances will be a little higher than normal.
Mornings will be on the mild side through the upcoming week, with afternoon temperatures close to average. The westerly wind and humid air mass will keep our temperatures from fluctuating very much.
Next week, expect numerous showers and thunderstorms. The showers and storms will start at the Gulf coast in the mornings with the greatest coverage in the afternoons away from the coast.
