A cold front early this week will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the region, some of which might even produced hail, the National Weather Service said Monday.
Behind the front, north winds will sweep cooler air over South Florida starting Tuesday.
The cooler air mass should keep temperatures in the 60s or lower on Tuesday, while a persistent north wind and cloudy skies should create cooler conditions through the end of the week.
Overnight temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday nights will drop to the upper 50s to low 60s along the coast and as low as the upper 40s inland.
Wednesday and Thursday will be breezy and have a 30% to 40% chance for showers and thunderstorms along the coast.
Daytime temperatures for the rest of the week will remain in the 70s, gradually rising to the 80s over the weekend.
By the weekend, a high pressure system over the region should create dry, sunny conditions.
Despite the rain over the past weekend, most of the region is still in extreme drought.
