SHORT TERM
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 127 AM EDT Thu May 22 2025
Mesoanalysis this morning indicates the arrival of an envelope of deeper low-level boundary moisture (precipitable water values of 1.5 to 2.0 inches) pooling across our region ahead of a weak frontal boundary moving southward across the Florida Peninsula. At the same time, mid-level flow aloft will veer to a westerly then southwesterly direction and enhance as South Florida will be situated underneath the base of an expansive mid-level trough advecting eastward across the eastern United States. This upper- level flow regime in tandem with light southwesterly surface flow, will act to focus afternoon rain chances across the eastern half of the region as the aforementioned background westerly surface flow interacts with a slowly moving Atlantic sea-breeze. This prevailing wind pattern both aloft and at the surface, tends to favor the eastern half of South Florida with the greatest chance of seeing convective activity and thus PoPs are the highest this afternoon across these areas. A few incipient updrafts will likely develop before the main event of spatial convective initiation takes place mid to late afternoon.
Residual mid-level dry air in the vertical column may act to initially limit spatial coverage of convection on Thursday afternoon, however if updraft cores are able to develop enough to tap into the background environment, the abundant dry air aloft could actually lead to an isolated strong to marginally severe storm or two along the pinned Atlantic sea-breeze. In fact, cooler 500mb values (-8C to 9C) aloft combined with ample heat at the surface (CAPE values of 2500-3000 J/kg) will act to steepen mid-level lapse rates and allow for more robust convective growth along the sea-breeze boundary.
Storm mode will primarily be multicellular in nature as clusters of storms fire and develop along the sea-breeze and outflow boundaries.
Small to marginally severe hail (lower freezing level) and strong to severe wind gusts (DCAPE >1000 J/kg) are possible in tandem with frequent lightning with any storm that develops directly along the localized ascent of the sea-breeze boundary. Heavy rainfall over urban areas cannot be ruled out as well as the latest HRRR LPMM shows potential rainfall totals of 2-4 inches with the heaviest storms today. If the heaviest totals were to occur over urban areas, localized flooding could certainly be possible and thus the Weather Prediction Center has placed metro Broward and Palm Beach County in a marginal risk of excessive rainfall. Lastly, although analysis indicates that severe risk today is primarily wind/hail, a brief funnel or weak landspout is possible along the Atlantic sea-breeze given the southwesterly flow aloft and southeasterly flow at the surface.
Temperatures this afternoon will remain hot and well above average as convection will initiate later in the afternoon, allowing for ample instability (CAPE values above 1500-2000 J/kg). Forecast high temperatures will remain in the low to mid 90s across locations closer to the coast with southern inland locations potentially reaching the upper 90s once again.
With the base of the mid-level trough and dynamics (upper level jet, cool 500mb temperatures of -9C to -10C) still situated aloft of the region on Friday combined with the envelope of moisture with a decaying boundary, another round of strong to marginally severe storms is possible for the eastern 2/3 of the region on Friday afternoon. Residual dry air aloft and cool 500mb temperatures will once again support the potential of small to marginally severe hail and strong to severe wind gusts possible with the most robust activity during the afternoon hours. Heavy rainfall may also once again result in a non-zero localized flooding threat across the east coast metro if a storm remains anchored in place along the pinned east coast sea-breeze. An increase in cloud cover and rain chances combined with an earlier start of shower and thunderstorm activity will keep temperatures slightly cooler across the east coast metro areas on Friday with high temps mainly in the upper 80s to low 90s with inland locations mainly peaking out in the middle 90s.
Temperatures along the immediate gulf coast will remain in the upper 80s with metro areas reaching the low 90s.
LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 127 AM EDT Thu May 22 2025
The weak frontal boundary will become frontolytic in nature this weekend with mid-level flow lessening greatly across the region as the axis of the departing mid-level trough moves well offshore into the western Atlantic waters. However the residual moisture associated with the decaying front will remain in place across the region. This will allow for both the Atlantic and Gulf sea-breezes to propagate inland with the greatest chance for afternoon showers and storms across inland locales each afternoon. 500mb temperatures will still be cool enough to steepen low lapse rates and usher in the potential of a few strong afternoon storms along convergent boundaries. Heavy rainfall, locally gusty winds, and frequent lightning is still possible with afternoon storms. This weekend, high temperatures will be a few degrees cooler in large part due to cloud cover. Sharp fluctuations and gradients in afternoon temperatures are indeed possible as shower and thunderstorm activity will act to knock down temperatures from their diurnal peaks.
After a period of relative quiet mid to upper level flow, the next mid-level trough will advect across the central United States on Monday into Tuesday, dragging an attendant surface frontal boundary and developing surface low eastward. As the mid-level trough continues to advect eastward during the middle weak period, the frontal boundary and a reinforcing plume of deep moisture is also forecast to enter the region. Rain chances will remain in the 40-50% range each afternoon as inward propagating sea-breeze circulations dictate the greatest coverage of PM showers and storms.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 725 AM EDT Thu May 22 2025
VFR conditions will prevail through the morning hours. Winds will increase out of the SE early this afternoon across the east coast terminals as the sea breeze pushes inland. Scattered showers and storms will develop in the late afternoon and last into the evening across the east coast terminals. Periods of MVFR or IFR could be possible along with variable and gusty winds in and around storms. At KAPF, winds will increase out of the WNW as a Gulf breeze develops.
MARINE
Issued at 127 AM EDT Thu May 22 2025
Mostly benign marine conditions will persist through the remainder of the work week with light winds and seas 2 ft or less. Showers and storms will be possible across the Lake Okeechobee and nearshore Atlantic waters today and once again on Friday afternoon with the potential of locally higher winds and waves occurring.
