ORLANDO, Fla. — We’ve had a round of showers and embedded storms pushing quickly across central Florida today all courtesy of a disturbance moving across the southeastern states.

This disturbance is dragging a weak front over us and helping to squeeze out the available moisture. Isolated showers stick around into the evening hours. Behind the front, drier air will drop dew points back to a more comfortable feel by tomorrow. High pressure drops in and gives us a Wednesday full of sun and highs in the mid-70s.

If you’re traveling on Thanksgiving, an onshore flow may provide fast moving showers near the Atlantic coast, with inland areas pegged at a very low 10 to 20-percent shower chance. Under a partly cloudy sky, highs on Thursday are back into the mid-70s.

Shower coverage is at 20 to 30 percent Friday with highs warming back into the mid to upper 70s. Several fast moving atmospheric disturbances will provide us off and on rain chances this weekend into early next week, with the best chance to pick up showers and fairly breezy conditions on Saturday. Highs this weekend are forecast to be above average, either side of 80.

Not the best afternoon to catch waves, as an east-southeast to east-northeast swell mix and mushed up wave heights around two to three feet create poor surfing conditions. We’ll keep a poor surfcast around this week, but may be looking at good conditions to grab a board this Saturday. Good news if you’re planning a swim, the rip current threat is low. Sea surface temps are currently in the mid-70s along our east coast. Clouds and even rain for some is keeping our UV index fairly low.
