A front in the Gulf will move our way and stall over central Florida this week giving a boost to the chance you will see rain. Look for a 50% rain chance today with fast moving showers and a few thunderstorms.
Low pressure in Mississippi tracks north into Tennessee and drags a front into the Panhandle today. By Tuesday it loses momentum and stalls near the Nature Coast. The Bay Area stays in the moist southern section with showers increasing to 60%. As the front stalls in central Florida, we can expect to see areas of rain into Wednesday before high pressure builds in and lowers rain chances toward the weekend.
