Florida's Weather: Rainy Days and Warm Nights Ahead

Florida is in for a wet and warm weekend. While other parts of the U. S. are dealing with freezing temperatures, Florida is expecting a mix of rain and warmer weather. The Panhandle is going to get the brunt of it. Heavy rain is expected from today through Saturday. There's even a chance of thunderstorms along the coast. Some areas could see up to 6 inches of rain by Sunday. Central and North Florida aren't off the hook either. Rain is likely to spread across these regions as a cold front moves in. The good news is that the rain will bring some much-needed moisture to the area. South Florida, on the other hand, will stay mostly dry for most of the week. But don't put the umbrella away just yet. There's a chance of showers and thunderstorms later on Saturday and Sunday. As for temperatures, they're going to climb. Highs could reach the upper 70s to lower 80s in Central and South Florida. But don't get too comfortable. A cold front is expected to move in late Sunday or early next week, bringing cooler temperatures and dry conditions. So, if you're in Florida, be prepared for a mix of rain and warmth. And keep an eye on the forecast, because things can change quickly.
