HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER TO EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY, HERE IN
FLORIDA IT'S FELT LIKE SUMMER SINCE MARCH. JUST LIKE ANY TYPICAL DAY
IN FLORIDA, IT WILL BE HOT WITH AN ISOLATED CHANCE OF AFTERNOON
SHOWERS, MAINLY INLAND AND TO THE EAST. HIGHS WILL TOP OUT IN THE
90S WITH SOME HEAT INDICES REACHING TRIPLE DIGITS. REMEMBER, WHEN
ENJOYING ACTIVITIES OUTDOOR TO TAKE BREAKS IN THE SHADE OR AIR
CONDITIONING AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PATTERN
REMAINS MOSTLY UNCHANGED THROUGH THE WEEK WITH SLIGHT FLUCTUATIONS
IN RAIN CHANCES AND HIGH TEMPERATURES. OVERALL, IT WILL BE VERY
WARM, WITH NEAR-RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES, ESPECIALLY AT THE START
OF THE WEEK WHEN RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LOWEST.
AVIATION

ISSUED AT 208 PM EDT SUN JUN 21 2026
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL WITH WINDS MAINLY OUT OF THE WSW. A FEW
SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WILL LIKELY REMAIN INLAND
AND CONTINUE TO DRIFT TOWARDS THE EAST AWAY FROM TAF SITES. BEST
CHANCE FOR SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE LAL, BUT THAT CHANCE STILL
REMAINS LOW.

EVENING.
