Potential For Warmer Days Ahead Next Week, Beyond

A few consecutive model runs are showing the low level heating from Mexico to Extreme SW Texas will elevate to the 'mid levels' in the next 5 days and then translate ENE ward mid week next week
resulting in 'temperturally inverted' cold frontal passages. This image is for the 850mb height, or around 5000 feet AGL (above ground level)

MORNING TEMPS BEFORE SUNRISE AROUND 5 AM:
Note the effect of a light west to near calm wind east of the intracoastal waterways at Patrick AFB.

This is likely the case up and down the east coast from Cape Canaveral to the Keys. Note it is cooler in West Kendall than at PAFB. This is not unusual.

TODAY-SUNDAY: Continued very pleasant with slightly below normal temperatures, light winds. A frontal passage will occur today during the mid-afternoon, possibly with some clouds, but all in all the effect will be to infiltrate cooler air into the Panhandle and eventually toward the West side of the state by Sunday morning, where it could be the coolest morning yet for those areas.  Again, the warmest zones should be along the immediate east coast from the Cape and southward, with little change from those of this morning's readings.

BEYOND: Meanwhile, per guidance trends, heights in the mid levels will, if all goes according to plan, will be rising in response to heating over Mexico and into extreme SW Texas (at the lower levels). As each consecutive frontal/trough progresses across the country's mid section this warm air will be pulled east ward.

The net effect is that although we could still see some rain or increased cloud coverage on Tuesday afternoon (rain so far most likely to occur over the South Half of the state from the Cape toward South Tampa Bay and South toward Lake 'Okeebee', the NW winds to follow will actually be warmer BEHIND the front than the will be with the west winds before the front passes Tuesday morning.  Another front is then expected to follow several days beyond Tuesday with the same effect. In that regard, 'temperaturally inverted' cold fronts, or rather, cold fronts acting almost as loosely phrased, 'warm fronts' by virtue that they will be harboring in warmer air from Mexico seems to be the trend.

In Summary, the coldest days after Sunday and Monday morning from a state wide perspective should be ending, with highs returning to normal to slightly above normal in a few locations being possible during the first week of December. No big frontal passages so far are foreseen will out to 12 days.
