A hint of fall to the north . 68 degrees in ocala. I like that. But thats not coming down here. Our temps have been pretty consistent since the storm went away.

A few more weeks, a few more weeks and well start to turn the tide on these temperatures. Solid northeast winds running five to 12 miles an hour. Between that and the drier air that we have just kind of sitting in the mid levels of the atmosphere, the rain chances, tampa, st. Petersburg to the north, even including polk county so going east around 20 , there is more moisture in the atmosphere further south so well put sarasa on the edge of about a 30 rain chance but once you get down to fort myers, for instance, the rain chances go up to 50 . So its like 20 and then 30 , 40 , 50 as you go further south. By the weekend, some of that moisture will start to get pulled back to the north and just allow for more of these afternoon thunderstorms. But nothing out of the ordinary. Temperatures stay pretty close to normal and the rain chances head back there for the weekend as well. It made its second landfall, okay.
