.SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN)...
Issued at 100 PM EDT Sat Apr 11 2026

Sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees
across the peninsula. All sponsored by high pressure building over
the region pushing lower dewpoints and keeping rain free conditions
in place. This will continue to support breezy easterly winds
through the weekend. Meanwhile, dry airmass remains in place with PWs
from this morning`s sounding well below an inch. As a result, rain
has left the forecast for a while. Clear skies and enough surface
moisture available could support night to morning low clouds and
patchy fog. Overnight lows drop into the low to mid 60 with areas
along the Nature Coast in the upper 50s.

Afternoon temperatures today will max to the mid 80s along the coast
with areas over the interior barely reaching the low 80s. Copy and
paste weather conditions into Sunday, except temperature along the
coast climbing up into the upper 80s and low to mid 80s inland.

During the long term, area of high pressure remains with very warm
and dry conditions in place.  No rain appears in the forecast
