Staying mild, some rain still possible

SUMMARY: Relatively mild air is slated to remain in place through the upcoming weekend but some days and nights will be warmer than others. Some rain is possible Wednesday with a passing cold front. Another front could spark more showers Sunday.

TROPICS: Tropical Storm Eta continues to swirl in the SE Gulf of Mexico. This system is expected to gradually turn north over the coming days and make landfall somewhere in Florida between Tampa and Panama City. It’s possible that some of its moisture could make its way here but recent data suggest that may not be the case.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy and mild. Lows in the 60s. A 20-30% chance of showers.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with some showers possible, especially during the first half of the day. Highs in the 70s with NW winds 5-10 mph.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy and cooler. Lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Pleasant highs in the upper 60s and 70s. Lows in the 40s.

WEEKEND: Look for well above normal temperatures in the 70s. Some spots could approach 80 on Sunday. Saturday is going to be dry with a mix of sun and clouds but some afternoon and evening showers are possible Sunday with an approaching cold front.
