Wind damage and isolated tornadoes are possible Wednesday night and Thursday across Florida ahead of a strong fall cold front.

Winter is typically the driest season of the year in Florida, and according to NOAA below average rainfall is expected this year due to the return of La Niña.

Temperatures are expected to be 5 to 10 degrees cooler Sunday and Monday across a large portion of Florida thanks to a noticeable fall front.

Afternoon highs are on track to approach or achieve their daily records, especially Thursday and Friday mainly over the interior and Gulf side of the peninsula.

A generally quiet week of weather is expected across Florida, despite multiple systems being watched nearby in the tropics.

Days of heavy rain has deposited more than a foot of rain in portions of Northwest Florida, but a drying trend is expected this weekend.

Several more inches of rain over portions of the western Florida Panhandle will extend the threat of flash flooding through Wednesday evening.

The drier pattern that had settled into the Sunshine State the last two weeks of September is not likely to last much longer.
