ORLANDO, Fla. — We rounded out Election Day on a warm and muggy note, with official highs several degrees above average.

High pressure will hold any fronts at bay until this weekend and keep a very warm, muggy flow over us until then as well.

Under a mix of clouds and sun Tuesday, highs climbed into the mid to upper 80s and dew points stayed in the 60s and lower 70s. We topped out five to eight degrees above average with Sanford even tying the old record of 87 degrees.

Low level moisture may lead to patchy areas of fog overnight, and visibility could dip in spots for our Wednesday morning commute.

We have a very low 20 percent shower coverage in our forecast, otherwise expecting another day in the mid and upper 80s with a mix of clouds and sun. Onshore moving showers will bump rain coverage to around 30 percent Thursday and Friday.

By Saturday, the next front is set to slide in our direction and bring us 30 to 40 percent shower and storm coverage. Models vary on where the front stalls, so we’ll keep a chance of rain on Veterans Day into Monday.

A much sharper front heads our way next week and could bring the coldest air of the season so far.

We’re looking at poor to fair conditions in the surf for the afternoon, with an east to east-southeast swell mix and wave heights two to three, occasionally four feet.

The low tide cycle dictates our risk for rip currents, with a moderate threat sticking around.

Tropical Update
