A weak cold front has stalled across the FL/GA line, increasing
cloud cover for SE GA. Weakening high pressure to the south has
allowed the Gulf coast sea breeze and Atlantic sea breeze to push
inland. These converging boundaries will aid in increasing cloud
cover for NE FL. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s
inland with temperatures in the low 80s along the coast. Afternoon
cumulus along the front and sea breeze merger will fade with
mostly clear skies prevailing overnight. Under the mostly clear
skies, low temperatures will trend near normal with upper 50s
inland and low 60s at coastal locations.
