April 7, 2026 9:37 am

High temperatures will warm through Wednesday to around 10 degrees above average for inland areas. This will be followed by a cooling trend through Saturday with Saturday high temperatures as much as 10 to 15 degrees below average for the higher mountains. A low pressure system from the northwest will bring increasing chances of showers for late Friday through Saturday along with a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday. Additional chances for showers will continue into late Sunday or Sunday night, but with lower confidence in the details. There will be stronger southwest to west winds for the mountains and deserts on Thursday and Friday with the stronger gusts to 35 to 45 mph. There could be another round of west to northwest winds of similar strength on Sunday. Then drier with a warming trend beginning early next week.

Chances for heavy rain and thunderstorms over parts of the Florida Peninsula over the next couple of days. Elevated to critical fire weather concerns for the Southeast on Wednesday. Chances for severe thunderstorms across Central Plains on Wednesday.
