Synopsis
Atlantic high pressure offshore of the southeastern U.S. will remain in place throughout the remainder of the weekend. This feature will maintain moderate east to southeasterly breezes through tonight. However, a gradual slackening trend will occur during the remainder the weekend and into early next week. In addition, relatively drier weather conditions will settle in for the weekend, though isolated to scattered showers and occasional thunderstorms could still occur at times. A cold front then stalls across northern Florida into the new work week with highest rain chances remaining north of the Florida Keys but, precipitation chances will still remain around 20 to 30 percent daily into next week.
