WEDNESDAY
High pressure is weakening and sliding away, allowing highs to climb into the mid- to upper 70s.
At the beaches, conditions remain dangerous as a high risk of rip currents continues.
THIS WEEK
Thursday through Saturday, a weak front settles into the area with rain chances hovering less than 20% as highs stay warm in the upper 70s to near 80.

WEEKEND
Forecast models are not in full agreement on timing or strength of the next system.
The EURO model moves the upper-level trough and surface cold front through faster, bringing rain into Central Florida by Sunday evening and pushing the front through overnight.
The American GFS model is slower, holding the bulk of the energy back and bringing the front through during the day on Monday.
That difference matters. A faster solution would bring rain and possible storms Sunday night, with cooler air arriving sooner Monday. A slower solution would keep Sunday warmer and breezier, with rain and storm chances peaking Monday and lingering a bit longer.
Because of the uncertainty, rain chances are broadly painted at 30 to 60% from Sunday through Monday, with a slight chance of lightning storms during that time.
Sunday still looks breezy and warm ahead of the front, possibly near 80 degrees. Behind the boundary, winds turn northerly and temperatures settle back into the 70s on Monday and Tuesday.
