High pressure ridging still covers the region but will slowly
make its way out temporarily this evening and overnight as a weak
surface trough pushes in. Mid level shortwave troughing will 
increase the cloud cover to be partly cloudy this afternoon, 
clearing out in some areas tonight to mostly clear skies. Winds 
inland will be light and mainly from the west with the Atlantic 
sea-breeze bringing winds in around 10-15 mph to coastal areas and
up to the I-95/US 17 corridor. Inland temperatures will be in the
upper 80s to low 90s with coastal temperatures staying slightly 
cooler due to the sea breeze. Nighttime temperatures will be in 
the 60s.
