And don’t worry too much about the winds—southerly breezes will be blowing at 5 to 10 mph.

What to Expect Next Week
As we move into Monday, the sun continues to shine brightly, with temperatures soaring to around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The evening will also be mostly clear, which is perfect for stargazing or just enjoying the warm air. Tuesday keeps the sunny trend alive, with highs in the lower 90s and similar clear evening skies. Just remember, it’s Florida, so those temperatures will feel pretty warm!
Now, if you’re planning any outdoor activities mid-week, be prepared for a little drama in the sky. Wednesday brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a 50% probability of rain. Highs will still hover around 90 degrees, and nighttime lows will sit comfortably around 70 degrees. So, perhaps keep that raincoat handy, just in case! As for Thursday and Friday night, we’ll see partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain, so don’t pack away those umbrellas just yet.
Looking ahead to Saturday, you might want to set your plans early. It’s expected to be partly sunny but keep in mind there’s a slight chance of morning showers, followed by a better chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Highs will cool slightly to the upper 80s. It’s that time of year when Florida weather keeps you on your toes! For more in-depth weather insights, visit the National Weather Service.
