The weather is steadily warming across Florida, with warmer air settling in and rain chances expected to increase as the week progresses. High pressure over Florida and the Gulf is holding strong, keeping conditions stable and largely dry. While most areas will remain largely dry, there could be some lingering moisture south of Orlando as a front remains stationary near the Florida straits. A total lunar eclipse will occur early Tuesday morning, with the moon gradually turning red as it moves into Earth's shadow. Daily rain chances will increase from 30 to 50% across Central Florida with isolated thunderstorms. High temperatures throughout the week will rise into the low to mid-80s inland, with coastal communities expected to remain a few degrees cooler due to a strong sea breeze.
