Active Sea Breezes Increases Rain Chances

Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will continue developing across the state, mainly across the interior sections of north and central Florida through the end of the work week. The probability of showers with possible thunder will range from 50 to 80 percent in the panhandle and along I-10, tapering off to 20 to 30 percent in south Florida.  Rain chances statewide will diminish some by the end of the week, then increase again a bit over the weekend as a weak backdoor cold front slides in from the northeast.  The front will likely only make it as far south as central Florida, before dissipating entirely by late Sunday.  Early next week, a slightly cooler and drier air mass will drift into the state, shutting down rain chances in most areas for a few days.
