12/08 – Brantly’s “Chilly Morning, Mild Afternoon” Tuesday Forecast

Cooler and drier weather will persist through the middle of the week. With high pressure building into the region, expect light, northwesterly winds to continue through the day on Tuesday before gradually turning westerly as the surface high slides east into the central gulf. Dry air will remain in place through Wednesday with zero chance for rain.

There will be a slight warming trend in the temperatures starting Wednesday through the end of the week. Highs on Wednesday will top out in the mid to low 60s area-wide and lows on Wednesday night will fall into the upper 30s inland with 40s closer to the coast.

The work week ends on a dry note with rain possible again over the weekend. Rain showers will spread into the area from the west on Friday night, but the bulk of the rain looks to slide into the area on Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of a cold front.

Daytime temperatures will be mild through Saturday with highs topping out in the 60s each afternoon for much of the area while locations near the coast may hit the 70 mark. Overnight lows will fall into the 40s inland with 50s along the coast on Thursday night with 50s area-wide by Friday night. Temperatures on Saturday night will be dependent on how quickly the rain exits to the east and how fast the cooler and drier air is ushered into the area in the wake of the front.
