SHORT TERM
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 210 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
A weak frontal boundary remains stretched from west to east from the northeast Gulf of Mexico to Georgia. This boundary will remain to the north and weaken over the next 24 hours as broad surface high pressure south of Bermuda ridges westward across the central part of Florida and into the central Gulf of Mexico. This ridge of high pressure will be the dominant weather factor through mid-week keeping a predominant southeast wind flow over the region. Abundant moisture with PWAT values between 1.8 - 2.3 inches will persist through the forecast period. Scattered showers and storms will be possible today and tomorrow, developing over the southeast part of Florida and traversing northwestward each afternoon/evening as well as some west coast sea breeze developments. Nocturnal land breeze showers and storms can also be expected over the eastern gulf waters during the overnight hours. Daytime highs will top out in the low to mid 90's with heat indices reaching 100-107 degrees. Overnight lows will remain in the 70's.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 210 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
Throughout the next 3-7 days, high pressure to our north will begin to move southeast and become centered to the east-northeast of the state, dominating the overall weather pattern and establishing a predominantly east-southeast flow across our CWA This synoptic setup, combined with adequate moisture aloft, will be favorable for typical summertime scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon hours throughout most of the week. As we approach the weekend, a drier air mass will move across some northern and central parts of the state, which could slightly hinder thunderstorm development during that timeframe. Moisture is expected to return towards the latter half of the weekend though, and this will remain along with the established east-southeast flow to continue to support the development of scattered afternoon showers and storms heading into early next week.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 755 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
Most of the shower activity has diminished this evening with only an hour or two of VCTS needed at a few sites. Seabreeze storms will once again pop up tomorrow mainly in the late afternoon and evening hours. Winds will generally remain below 10 knots with VFR conditions outside of thunderstorms.
