we are going to get a little bit of a reinforcing shot of cooler air friday night into saturday, so i think saturday morning will be the coolest morning that we will see. a lot of 50s. highs in the upper 70s. rain chances pretty much nonexistent after we get rid of what is going on out there now. by the early part of next week the models are hinting at a better chance of a few showers especially on tuesday. and then back behind it we could see another round of cooler weather by the middle of the week. so every three or four days we are looking air but sort of setting us up where we should be, which is an afternoon high of 79. afternoon highs should be below 80. of course, they won't be tomorrow. they will be about 80 or 81, but at least we are not talking about mid to upper 80s like we had just about 10 days ago. now, here is that long range pattern i talked about. and by the middle of next week we begin to see a little bit of a dip so there is a chance we could see some cooler air but
11:20 pm
i really don't see much of a blast of cold air, and that likely continues right on into thanksgiving. now, there is a lot of big dips out to the west, so we will see down the road if some of those have an opportunity to move east. but usually our coldest air comes in from up here, not out in the pacific. the bottom line, kind of status quo right on through the next 10 to 14 days. northeast wind at 10 to 15 knots. the winds will come down in the afternoon. moderate chop on the bay 73 degrees. there are your tides. sunrise 6:48, sunset at 5:40. skies are partly cloudy waking up to mostly clear. sunny skies the entire day. we are going to top out at 80 to 81 degrees. here's a look at florida's most accurate seven-day forecast. 78 on friday and saturday. i do think saturday morning we are going to see a lot sphrifts. a great weekend for rib fest at the park.
11:21 pm
