polk county. you can see them moving pretty quickly, work their way through carroll wood over towards the west chase area. now stretching over into east lake and palm harbor. looks like they'll work their wy out into the gulf of mexico. but because they move quickly you're not looking at much accumulation. just wetting the ground a little bit. >> you can see some quick moving showers moving out

currently sits at 79 degrees. we've had the easterly wind for days upon days now. slowly bringing that moisture back across the state, so these dewpoints, they've been climbing up into the mid and upper 60s and some 70s starting to show up. so, yeah, it's starting to feela little bit on the muggy side outside and this is all kind of in advance of the cold front which will be pushing down acros the southeast and bringing the nice refreshing change for the week and the ridge of high pressure that's been dominating our weather for a couple of wees front here to push down into the southeast. you can see a lot of cloud cover with this front, and some scattered showers working their way up into the great lakes and then behind that that's where those cooler temperatures are. you can see a lot of warmth out ahead of it and then cooler and drier air. that's what's on tap as we head into the weekend. you can see that high just kind of breaks down as we go through the next couple of days. we still have that chance of a couple sprinkles or light showes for today into tonight and then that front works its way down. looks like sometime friday. so you're probably not going to notice a huge change on friday, but you wake up on saturday morning and that's where you're going to notice that nice chang. partly cloudy skies, a few isolated showers. daytime high of 86-degree and then for tonight, mainly clear skies, overnight low of 68. for tomorrow scattered clouds. we continue warm. daytime high of 84. winds are out of the northeast t 5 to 10 knots. moderate chop on the pay. here's the 7-day forecast. a couple more days of the warm and muggy conditions. we'll go ahead and call it muggy right now and then the nice change for the weekend, but breezy once that front moves through
