Overview
- Weekend cold front brought clouds, pockets of showers and isolated storms, with a marginal severe risk in parts of north-central Florida and most rainfall staying light.
- Central Florida dried out by Sunday with highs near the low 70s, and localized 1–2 inches of rain were possible in parts of Polk County while most areas saw less than an inch.
- Southeast Louisiana turned briefly cooler Sunday after a record 81 degrees Saturday in New Orleans, with highs returning to the 70s and upper 70s later this week.
- Northern and Great Lakes locales face one more light snow chance Sunday night into Monday, with most areas under an inch and up to about 1–2 inches north of Detroit’s M-59 corridor.
- A strong ridge drives a pronounced warmup early to midweek, then another front Thursday into Friday is expected to raise rain and thunder chances before a cooler turn next weekend, with timing varying by region.
