Rain chances gradually ramp up through the morning into afternoon hours as isolated to scattered showers develop in response to warm air advection across the area. Best rain chances through the afternoon hours will likely remain confined to interior areas. A cold front will gradually work its way into the forecast area late Thursday night into Friday as modest upper forcing overspreads the area, likely resulting in numerous to widespread shower and thunderstorm coverage. Best rain and storm chances will shift nearer the coast Friday morning into afternoon as the cold front slowly works its way through the area. Isolated to scattered showers may linger in the wake of the front into Friday afternoon before dry weather conditions return to the area Friday evening.

Overall we will see a transition into a less exciting pattern as upper troughing the next couple days gives way to more zonal flow late weekend while upper ridging begins to become dominant across the southern U.S. early next week. This will allow for us to not only remain dry, but also to remain quite warm through next week. Temperatures will take a brief dip for lows Friday night into the upper 40's and lower 50's, but the rest of the forecast generally keeps all areas in the 50's for lows. Highs in the lower to middle 70's today and Friday become upper 70's to lower 80's this weekend into next week. A High risk of rip currents will continue through Friday afternoon, tapering to a Moderate risk Friday evening and a Low risk for this weekend. MM/25
