- HIGH DAILY RAIN CHANCES UP TO AROUND 80% ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
MID WEEK.

ENCOURAGED TO STAY COOL AND WELL-HYDRATED TO AVOID HEAT-RELATED
ILLNESS.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 310 AM EDT SUN JUL 13 2025
TODAY... A MOISTURE BOUNDARY SLIDES SOUTHEASTWARD INTO CENTRAL
FLORIDA ALONG A BROAD SURFACE TROUGH. BUILDING MOISTURE SHOULD ALLOW
FOR ANOTHER DAY OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH COVERAGE
PEAKING AROUND 70-80 PERCENT IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SHEAR
PROFILES REMAIN WEAK WITH LIGHT STEERING FLOW OUT OF THE NORTH-
NORTHWEST. THIS SHOULD FAVOR A SOUTHWARD PROPAGATION OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS ALONG A DEVELOPING SEA BREEZE, BUT INCREASING OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES COULD STILL ALLOW FOR SLOW AND ERRATIC STORM MOTIONS. A
LOCALIZED FLOODING RAINFALL THREAT EXISTS TODAY WITH STORM TOTAL
ACCUMULATIONS OF 2-4" POSSIBLE. HEAVY RAINFALL OVER SHORT PERIODS OF
TIME COULD CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON AREA ROADWAYS AND MINOR
FLOODING OF URBAN OR LOW LYING AREAS. WHILE MID LEVEL STORM
PARAMETERS REMAIN MODEST, STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES, AND BOUNDARY
COLLISIONS COULD ALLOW FOR FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND LOCALIZED
WIND GUSTS OF 45-55 MPH. BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUDS CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS
STORMS DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE.
HIGH TEMPERATURES CLIMB IN TO THE LOW TO MID 90S AHEAD OF SHOWER AND
STORM DEVELOPMENT. COMBINED WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY, PEAK HEAT
INDEX VALUES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE 102-107 DEGREES, AND A MINOR TO
MODERATE HEATRISK WILL EXIST. THIS LEVEL OF HEAT AFFECTS MOST
INDIVIDUALS SENSITIVE TO HEAT, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITHOUT EFFECTIVE
COOLING AND/OR ADEQUATE HYDRATION.
MONDAY-TUESDAY... A WEAK 500MB TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
ATLANTIC MONDAY, PASSING OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA ON TUESDAY. A
BROAD SURFACE TROUGH OFFSHORE THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST ATTEMPTS TO
BECOME MORE ORGANIZED WITH PASSING MID LEVEL SUPPORT, DEVELOPING A
WEAK LOW IN VICINITY OF FLORIDA. WAVES OF ANOMALOUSLY HIGH MOISTURE
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION EACH DAY WITH MODELED PWATS AS HIGH AS
2.1-2.2", AND VALUES RANGE ABOVE THE 90TH CLIMATOLOGICAL
PERCENTILE. HIGH MOISTURE IN VICINITY OF WEAK MID LEVEL SUPPORT
WILL CONTINUE TO FUEL HIGH RAIN CHANCES EACH DAY (~80%), AND A
HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT WILL REMAIN PRESENT. WHILE GLOBAL ENSEMBLE
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS DAILY AREAWIDE TOTALS OF 0.5-1.5", LOCALIZED
TOTALS OF 2-4" REMAIN IN PLAY BOTH DAYS. AREAS THAT RECEIVE THESE
LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS OVER MULTIPLE DAYS WILL BECOME VULNERABLE
TO PONDING OF WATER AND MINOR FLOODING. ALTHOUGH INCREASED CLOUD
COVER MAY LIMIT SURFACE INSTABILITY, TALL SKINNY CAPE PROFILES
AROUND 2,000 J/KG AND VORTICITY ALOFT SUGGEST AT LEAST AN ISOLATED
STRONG STORM THREAT. STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
OCCASIONAL TO FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND WATER LOADED
DOWNDRAFTS WHICH CAN PRODUCE LOCALIZED GUSTY WINDS.
TEMPERATURES TREND A FEW DEGREES COOLER MONDAY AND TUESDAY,
CORRESPONDING TO HIGHER RAIN CHANCES. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW
90S MONDAY RANGE THE MID TO UPPER 80S BY TUESDAY. MORNING LOW
TEMPERATURES HOLD STEADY IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.
WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY... THE WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS NUDGED INTO
THE GULF ON WEDNESDAY AS THE ATLANTIC HIGH BUILDS BACK TOWARD
FLORIDA. AS THE LOW PRESSURE DEPARTS WESTWARD, THE NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER HAS HIGHLIGHTED A 20% CHANCE OF TROPICAL
DEVELOPMENT INTO THE MIDDLE TO LATE PART OF THE WEEK. REGARDLESS
OF DEVELOPMENT DEEP MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE ON THE EAST SIDE OF
THE FEATURE, KEEPING HIGH RAIN CHANCES THROUGH MID WEEK (70-80%).
BY LATE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND, THE ATLANTIC RIDGE AXIS TAKES
CONTROL, FAVORING A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH RAIN
CHANCES TRENDING CLOSER TO NORMAL.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 310 AM EDT SUN JUL 13 2025
A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE LOCAL ATLANTIC
WATERS EARLY THIS WEEK. INCREASED MOISTURE IN VICINITY OF THIS
FEATURE WILL KEEP HIGH DAILY RAIN CHANCES (~60-80%) INTO MIDWEEK.
LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW BACKS SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST TODAY AND MONDAY AS
THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE DEVELOPS. SOUTHERLY FLOW THEN DEVELOPS
FROM TUESDAY ONWARDS AS THE ATLANTIC RIDGE AXIS BEGINS TO
GRADUALLY REBUILD OVER THE LOCAL WATERS. SEAS AROUND 2 FT. LOCALLY
HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS IN VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 140 AM EDT SUN JUL 13 2025
VFR CONDS WILL PREVAIL THIS MORNING WITH SOME HIGH ALTOCU AND
CIRRUS AROUND THROUGH SUNRISE. DEEP MOISTURE AND N/NW MID LEVEL
FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/STORMS TODAY AS
EARLY AS 18Z IN THE KDAB VCNTY TO THE MID TO LATE AFTN AT KSFB-
KMCO AND THE VERY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AT KSUA (22Z-02Z).
HAVE ADDED TEMPO TSRA TO ALL TERMINALS THIS CYCLE. CONVECTION WILL
TEND TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING PAST 01Z NORTH OF A KISM-KTIX LINE,
BUT WILL LINGER LONGER FOR THE TREASURE COAST TERMINALS INTO THE
EVENING HOURS.
