• High pressure will continue to dominate the local weather pattern bringing sunny and dry conditions.
• A slight chance of an isolated shower or brief sprinkle exists across coastal Southeast Florida today (15-20% chance of rain) aided by breezy winds gusts upwards of 30 mph that may bring them ashore off the Atlantic.
• Warm and dry conditions will continue to worsen drought conditions which may lead to locally sensitive wildfire conditions across much of the state today, despite relative humidities remaining above critical thresholds.
• High temperatures will climb into the middle to upper 70s across North Florida and upper 70s to lower 80s in Central and South Florida.

• Winds will generally subside across South Florida overnight, though a few wind gusts upwards of 25 mph will be possible across the Florida Keys.
