Synoptic Discussion: "Increasing cloudiness throughout the afternoon and evening in advance of an approaching cold front. The chance of showers will increase through Tuesday night with the front expected to pass through the local area early Wednesday morning. Cloudiness and threat of showers will decrease through the day Wednesday but wind behind the front will strengthen as much cooler air moves into Central Florida; low temperatures in the low 40s and upper 30s will be common across Central FL on both Thursday and Friday mornings.
"The chief concern for Wednesday night will be gusty northwest winds."
