DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 322 AM EDT MON JUN 2 2025
IN THE UPPER LEVELS, A DEEP TROUGH AXIS IS STRETCHED OUT FROM
EASTERN CANADA THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES, WHILE A DEVELOPING
SHORT WAVE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA IS ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH AND WILL REACH THE EASTERN GULF BY THIS EVENING. THIS
SHORTWAVE WILL THEN CUTOFF FROM THE MAIN FLOW AND LINGER THROUGH AT
LEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE VICINITY OF FLORIDA BEFORE LIFTING OUT
TO THE NORTH DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. AT THE SURFACE,
WEAK AND SOMEWHAT VARIABLE WESTERLY FLOW IS HOLDING IN PLACE TODAY.
WITH DEEP MOISTURE REMAINING ACROSS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FROM THE
REMNANTS OF A STALLED FRONT, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE
DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN GULF EARLY THIS MORNING AND SHIFTING
EAST INTO THE FLORIDA PENINSULA, MAINLY SOUTH OF THE TAMPA BAY.
BY MID AFTERNOON, THESE STORMS OVER THE WATERS WILL BE FADING OUT,
WITH THE FOCUS OF CONVECTION SHIFTING INTO THE INTERIOR THROUGH
THE LATE AFTERNOON, BUT HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS ARE HINTING THAT
STORMS COULD BUILD BACK WEST INTO THE COAST DURING THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS.
BY TUESDAY, BROAD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETUP NORTH OF FLORIDA,
FAVORING SOUTHEAST TO EAST FLOW THAT WILL HOLD THROUGH AT LEAST
THURSDAY. AS MOISTURE INCREASES FROM THE SOUTHEAST, THE PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED SHORTWAVE WILL DROP TEMPERATURES ALOFT, INCREASING
INSTABILITY, WHILE DEVELOPING A WEAK SURFACE WAVE. AS A RESULT,
SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE WAVE LIFT
OUT.
THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND, THE SURFACE HIGH WILL RIDGE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA, RESULTING IN LIGHT SOUTHEAST TO
SOUTHERLY FLOW. THIS PATTERN WILL BRING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND STORMS, MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 322 AM EDT MON JUN 2 2025
SHOWERS ARE SHIFTING ONSHORE FROM THE GULF THIS MORNING ACROSS
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA AND WILL BRING PERIODS OF REDUCED FLIGHT
CATEGORIES TO AREA TERMINALS SOUTH OF THE TAMPA BAY THROUGH AT
LEAST THE MORNING. FOR KRSW, KFMY, AND KPGD, THESE STORM CHANCES
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE ENTIRE AFTERNOON, WITH POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERAL PERIODS OF DISRUPTIONS. FARTHER NORTH AROUND KTPA, KPIE,
AND KLAL, THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR STORM IMPACTS WILL BE BETWEEN
19-02Z AS STORMS BUILD BACK TO THE WEST.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 322 AM EDT MON JUN 2 2025
HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD IN NORTH OF FLORIDA TODAY AND
TUESDAY, WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE FLOW TODAY BECOMING SOUTHEASTERLY
AND EASTERLY TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, THEN MORE SOUTHERLY BY
FRIDAY. SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN GULF EARLY
THIS MORNING WILL SHIFT ONSHORE THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON, MAINLY FROM AROUND THE TAMPA BAY SOUTH. THE REST OF
THE WEEK, THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING AS STORMS PUSH WEST INTO THE COASTAL WATERS FROM THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA. WIND SPEEDS AND SEA HEIGHTS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN
LESS THAN HEADLINE CRITERIA, BUT DAILY THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE
LOCALLY HAZARDOUS BOATING CONDITIONS.
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 322 AM EDT MON JUN 2 2025
DRIER AIR OVER THE NATURE COAST WILL DROP RELATIVE HUMIDITY
PERCENTAGES INTO THE UPPER 30S THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WIDESPREAD
CRITICALLY LOW HUMIDITY IS NOT EXPECTED.
