After a quiet day across Central Florida, this evening will remain just as quiet.
The main concern overnight will be fog formation.Light winds and moisture trapped at the surface, in association with the frontal boundary draped across the state, will lead to areas of fog inland, with patchy fog along the coast.
Partial cloud cover may inhibit dense fog formation, however, as in previous mornings, visibility could be poor in some areas before sunrise. Low temperatures will stay mild, in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
The frontal boundary will begin to lift north as a warm front, which could squeeze a few showers out of the atmosphere Saturday. Expect partly sunny skies and limited showers to develop. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
All eyes are on the area of low pressure near the Texas coast as it treks across the Gulf toward the Panhandle Sunday. The low will remain well to our north, and will drag a weak cold front across the area late Sunday. Enough moisture and instability will exist out ahead of the front for scattered showers Sunday afternoon.
This front is expected to stall over the state, keeping some instability in place through the beginning of the workweek.
By Thanksgiving Day, the front gets shunted southward, allowing cooler, drier air to move into the region.
As for the tropics, no formation is expected.
