WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
• The trend for the next several days will be a gradual temperature cooldown, with mainly dry conditions along the way.
• A jacket will be needed for that early morning commute or taking the kids to the bus stop. But a long-sleeve shirt is fine during the afternoon hours with temperatures feeling pleasant and seasonal. The skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy through the workweek.
• There is a small and isolated passing shower chance later tonight and Wednesday night. Most locations won't see more than a few drops.

It has weakened over the past 24 hours, where winds peaked around 180 mph to a strong Category 4 hurricane but recently went back to a Category 5 status. It is still on the move toward the west coast of Florida and will pose a significant threat to millions of people with a potentially historic storm surge, three to eight inches of rain and winds over 125 mph. It is forecasted to weaken again before landfall, possibly down to a Category 3, by Wednesday night into early Thursday morning.
