Weekend Cooldown Fades as South Eyes Springlike Warmup Next Week

Forecasters say a strengthening subtropical ridge will drive well-above-normal temperatures across the Deep South and Florida by midweek.

Overview

  • A passing cold front brought a brief dip in temperatures, clouds and scattered light showers to parts of the Southeast and Florida to close the weekend.
  • Central Florida saw mostly light rainfall under an inch with isolated 1–2 inch pockets in Polk County after a marginal severe risk for hail and gusty winds.
  • From Tuesday through late week, highs are forecast to surge into the upper 70s and 80s in Florida and the Deep South, with some cities near daily records.
  • Local forecasts highlight Jackson, Mississippi, as a potential record‑challenger late week as the warm surge peaks.
  • Another front is being monitored for late week that could renew showers and thunderstorms and usher in a cooldown, while northern New England faces brief bursts of light snow early in the week.
