Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009 -- 5 a.m.

Strong, windy conditions expected today as we continue to have seasonal temperatures. These conditions will continue for the next two days, with winds reaching up to 25 and 30 mph in gusts. Additionally, it will be clear to partly cloudy skies, with temperatures reaching 80 today, and possibly 82 for tomorrow.

Windy conditions are expected to continue into the night, and remain very high along the coastal areas.

A gradual increase in moisture will continue over the next few days, which might result in a chance for rain possibly by Tuesday and Wednesday. This activity could be increased by the possible approach of Tropical Storm Ida, which could provide additional moisture to the atmosphere as it moves across the Gulf of Mexico.

At this time, Ida is expected to gradually increase strength in the Gulf, but by Tuesday, it will encounter some shearing winds which should decrease its strength.

Forecast models do not bring the storm to Central Florida, but they do indicate some increase in moisture and cloud cover for midweek.

Elsewhere, the tropics are quiet, with no other storms expected in the next 48 hours.
