Synopsis - Light to at times moderate onshore flow is expected into the coming week. Daily shower and Thunderstorm development will bring locally higher winds and seas to area waters. The environment also looks to be supportive of waterspouts in morning activity near the coast.

SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1229 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
With the axis of stout mid-level ridging entrenched across Central Florida this morning in conjunction with continued surface ridging, a rinse and repeat weather pattern will continue to prevail across South Florida each day. During the overnight hours through late morning, light southeasterly surface winds will continue to usher in warm air advection (WAA) from the nearby warm Gulf Stream waters, acting to keep temperatures along the east coast of South Florida warm and muggy in the upper 70s to low 80s through daybreak. Greater instability over these very warm nearshore waters will also allow for enough low level boundary moisture to support continued isolated shower activity along the east coast of South Florida through the late morning hours. Looking higher up in the atmospheric column, the earlier 18z and 00z upper air sounding from WFO Miami as well as recent 4z ACARS data from SoFlo area airports still indicate that copious amounts of residual dry air still remains in place across the region. This in theory should act to keep nocturnal and diurnal convection shallow in nature and limited in overall spatial scope.
With the lack of synoptic flow aloft directly underneath the mid- level ridge, mesoscale circulations will once again influence the prevailing weather pattern across the area, aided slightly by light southeasterly background flow. This aforementioned flow will allow for the continued isolated shower activity along the east coast overnight and each morning before pushing inland and increasing in coverage across our inland and southwestern Florida locales during the afternoon and evening hours. Given the lack of shear and kinematic dynamics (500mb temperatures of -5C to -6C, lapse rates of 5.0 to 5.5 C/km) combined with ample mid-level dry air, convection will be fairly benign in nature outside of lightning strikes and locally heavy rainfall.
High temperatures will remain slightly above seasonal norms today and tomorrow as cloud cover remains fairly sparse during the afternoon hours. Forecast temps this afternoon and once again on Tuesday afternoon will be mainly in the low 90s outside of locations directly along the east coast of South Florida in the upper 80s.
Heat indices could reach the low 100s at times, especially across inland locales across the region during the 10am to 4pm timeframe.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 1229 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
The status quo of surface and mid-level ridging will prevail into the middle portion of the work-week with shower activity peaking along the east coast of the region during the morning hours before focusing each afternoon and evening across the western half of SoFlo. Interestingly, the latest run of NASA's Dust Aerosol Optical Thickness model shows that a slight weakening of the surface ridge across the western Atlantic waters may allow for some light concentrations of Saharan Dust to lift northwards into the region during the mid to late portion of the work week. It remains to be seen however if this will have any influence on rain chances as the forecasted plume appears quite diluted in nature. Temperatures will remain mainly in the low 90s during this period with heat indices in the upper 90s to low 100s, especially across inland areas that are away from the moderating influences of the ocean.
The latest deterministic GFS and European models continue to hint at the potential of an inverted trough/TUTT propagating westward across or near the Greater Antilles during the second half of the work week. While it remains to be seen if this feature will actually materialize (and track close enough to South Florida to influence our local weather), it could help finally erode persistent mid-level ridging established across the region and bring cooler temperatures aloft (-9C to -10C, steeper low and mid level lapse rates) that may support more robust convection both during nocturnal and diurnal hours.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)

SE winds 5-10 kts this morning increasing to 10-15 kts after 16Z.
An afternoon westerly gulf breeze is expected at APF. VCTS is in at APF this afternoon into early evening for SCT thunderstorms in the area.
MARINE
Issued at 1229 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Moderate southeasterly winds during the day expected through mid- week as high pressure continues to sit over the western Atlantic waters. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms remain possible each day, which may result in locally hazardous winds and seas. Outside of convection, seas over the next several days generally 2 ft or less.

Rip current risks will remain elevated along the Atlantic coast as onshore winds remain with us for the remainder of the work week.
