1101 AM EDT Tue Jul 28 2026



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will remain over the central Gulf to

promote gentle to moderate winds for the next several days. The 

exception will be fresh NE winds off the northwest coast of the

thunderstorms will continue during the next couple of days over 

the NE Gulf due to a weakening cold front located across north- 

central Florida.
