DISCUSSION
Issued at 139 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025
Invest 93 continues to move onto the east coast of FL and will continue its journey west across FL today and tonight. NHC has given the system a 40% chance of development once it moves into the Gulf over the next couple of days. Regardless of development, main concern the next couple of days will be rainfall. The Weather Prediction Center has tagged most of the forecast area with a Slight Risk (at least 15%) of excessive rainfall. Meaning some areas may get multiple rounds of rain, increasing the risk of flash flooding.
A flood watch is in place till 11pm this evening, because of the expected rainfall. Though conditions are currently quiet, rain and storms are still expected to fill in this afternoon into the evening. Some storms could have strong, gusty winds and frequent lightning. As always, be sure to have multiple ways to receive weather warnings.
Unsettled conditions continue for the next couple of days as the system makes its way into the Gulf. Towards the weekend we shift back to a more typical summertime pattern as southeasterly flow settles back in. Temperatures heat back up by the end of the week with the later afternoon shower and storm coverage expected.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 139 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025

MARINE
Issued at 139 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025
