152pm EDT Wednesday April 8 2026

Issued at 149pm EDT Wednesday April 8 2026

The stalled out boundary over the state continues to bring us cloudy and windy conditions with some spotty showers. This trend will continue for the rest of today. By tomorrow the boundary will start to dissipate alLowing the sunshine to return. Due to it being a transition day we will see a mix of conditions. Where the thicker clouds linger we will see spotty light showers, however areas that start to see more sunshine could see a more convective pattern with heavier rain and thunderstorms.

By Friday the boundary will be gone allowing for ridging from the north to settle into the area. This will allow for the gusty winds to subside and drier air to start filtering in. Some lingering moisture in South Florida will still allow for an isolated thunderstorm or two in the afternoon and evening. The drier air will make it down to South Florida by Friday night and the state looks to have PW lower then an inch for the weekend and into early next week. This will bring us sunny skies and warming temperatures with highs back in the upper 80's by Monday and Tuesday.

Stall boundary over the state still bringing us gusty winds with a small craft advisory issued for all water ways through early Friday morning. The front will start to dissipate Thursday night which will allow for winds to come down slightly. However strong ridging to our north will keep winds just below advisory criteria at 15 to 20 knot from Friday through the weekend.

Fire Weather
Issued at 149pm EDT Wednesday April 8 2026

The stalled boundary that has been giving us cloudy and breezy conditions will start to dissipate slowly on Thursday. Behind it we will see drier air filter into the area through the weekend. RHs will stay just above critical levels but we will be seeing sunny skies and no rain in the forecast for the weekend.
