DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 221 PM EDT MON SEP 8 2025
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS SITTING ABOUT 80 TO 100 MILES OFF
THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA. THIS ALONG WITH A STALLED BOUNDARY IN
NORTH FLORIDA IS BRINGING US A CLOUDY AND MUGGY DAY. ALONG THE COAST
WE COULD SEE ON AND OFF SHOWERS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS BANDS
OF RAINS PUSH IN. INLAND AND SW FLORIDA HAS SEEN MORE SUNSHINE AND
SHOULD SEE A MORE TYPICAL AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY.
WE WILL SEE MUCH OF THE SAME ON TUESDAY AS OVERCAST SKIES AND ON AND
OFF RAIN WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA. SW
FLORIDA AND INLAND AREAS WILL ONCE AGAIN SEE MORE SUNSHINE AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. MODELS
SHOW THE LOW PRESSURE DISSIPATING BY WEDNESDAY HOWEVER THE
STALLED BOUNDARY WILL STILL REMAIN IN NORTH FLORIDA KEEPING OUR
MOISTURE AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES HIGH. BY THURSDAY AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL HELP TO PUSH THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. THIS WILL
KEEP STORMS CHANCES HIGH FOR ONE MORE DAY.
BY FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND WE WILL BE ON THE BACK SIDE OF A
DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THIS IS GOING TO BRING SOME UNSEASONABLE
DRY AIR MASS ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A DRY FEW DAYS FOR
ALMOST ALL OF US. ALSO THE CLEAR SKIES AND DRY AIR AT NIGHT COULD
BRING SOME LOCATIONS DOWN INTO THE UPPER 60'S FOR THE FIRST TIME
SINCE LATE SPRING.
