Meteorologist Shay Ryan provides a weather update for Florida, starting with a dry morning and potential light showers by evening. Overnight, moisture from an east-southeast flow may cause heavier downpours. The futurecast shows rain clearing by noon the next day, with drier conditions returning. Temperatures will be slightly warmer overnight, with highs in the upper 70s on Thursday and Friday. A dry front will bring cooler air, with lows in the 50s over the weekend.
