A Few Clouds This Afternoon, Windy, & Warm

Although temperatures are currently much warmer than they have been for the last few days, it's still a rather pleasant start to the day with temperatures in the lower 60s. It appears as though we'll start the day off with sunny skies, but a few clouds associated with an area of disturbed weather in the Gulf of Mexico will be on the increase by the afternoon hours. Although the chance of a shower is not zero today, the chance of any one community getting wet is extremely small. Highs this afternoon will be slightly warmer than yesterday as we'll top out near 83. Winds will be rather gusty at times today thanks to a strong pressure gradient created by the surface low in the Gulf of Mexico and an area of high pressure over the Mid-Atlantic states. In fact, winds should gust over 20 mph and possibly as high as 25 mph this afternoon. I think the best chance for a shower in the next 24 hours will actually occur overnight, but I still don't believe the chance is very high. With mostly cloudy skies and a mixed boundary layer overnight, the low tomorrow morning will be near 65.
