Rain chances will hold steady around the 20-30% range heading into the weekend, especially on Friday. Temperatures will continue rising in advance of the front with mid-80s likely as we close out the work week.
Behind the front, 70s return for the weekend, rain chances appear absent during this time.
Track side out at the Speedway for the Daytona 500 on Sunday, conditions look pretty good. Mixed skies and a race time temp at 2:30 p.m. right around 72-degrees.
Longer range forecast models are showing a rather strong warming signal for the area. Heading through the back end of February and into early March brings a run of solid 80s. The increase in temps is right in line with the 3-month temperature trend outlook which points to numbers above the seasonal average or norm. Stay tuned, looks like a little "Spring fling" coming to town!
