TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – After a chilly start to the weekend, high pressure is settling in across North Florida and South Georgia, bringing a long-awaited warming trend that will last through the week. However, Sunday afternoon brings an elevated fire risk.
Moderate to high fire danger this afternoon
The main weather impact will be moderate to high fire danger across the region on Sunday afternoon. With humidity levels dropping below 30% and ongoing drought conditions, fires could spread rapidly if ignited.
Boating conditions today
Not a horrible day to take the small crafts out. Winds will shift from northeast around 15 knots to easterly, then onshore winds between 5 and 10 knots. Seas from one to three feet. A moderate chop on the bays and protected waters.
Warming trend takes hold
Have you missed the warm weather? Temperatures will climb steadily throughout the week. Sunday highs will reach the low to mid 60s, warming into the mid 70s by Wednesday. Overnight lows will also moderate, climbing from the upper 30s to mid-40s tonight into the 50s by midweek.
This warming pattern comes as high pressure dominates the region, keeping conditions fairly benign through Wednesday.
Slight rain chance mid-week
A weakening system will progress across the northern Gulf on Wednesday, triggering isolated showers for the Big Bend and South Georgia. However, any rain totals will be minimal and will NOT help put a dent in the rainfall deficit.
Behind this system, a frontal boundary will stall north of the region, keeping isolated rain chances through the end of the week. Partly sunny and warm in between the isolated showers.
A better opportunity for wet weather this weekend as a more organized weather system approaches the southeast, something to watch for next weekend.
