Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Moore Haven, FL

LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 131 AM EDT Thu Jul 10 2025

For the upcoming weekend, large scale high pressure will continue to dominate the weather pattern with a ridge aloft and surface high pressure nearby as well. Ultimately, this will result in a typical summertime pattern continuing across South Florida with convection being mainly driven by sea breeze development. The usual diurnal pattern of convection for this time of year will remain in place as shower and thunderstorm activity starts to develop over the local waters and the east coast during the morning hours before shifting towards the interior and Southwest Florida during the afternoon and evening hours. Some storms could still become strong each afternoon mainly over Southwest Florida where sea breeze and other mesoscale boundaries collide and lift is maximized. The strongest storms could contain gusty winds and heavy downpours. High temperatures through the weekend will generally range from the upper 80s along the east coast to the lower 90s across Southwest Florida.

Moving into the early to middle portions of next week, the forecast starts to become a little bit more uncertain as the mid level ridge pushes northwestward into the Gulf and expands northward into the Midwest as well as the Mississippi River Valley. At the same time, another mid level and upper level disturbance to the east will begin to push towards the Southeast coast. While the general diurnal pattern of convection will look to remain in place, with rather light steering flow aloft combined with light winds trying to become more southerly at the surface, this may help increase the chance of showers and thunderstorms during this time frame. The exact details still need to be ironed out and will depend heavily on the track and evolution of this mid level disturbance as it pushes towards the Southeast coast. Guidance is not in good agreement regarding its strength and evolution at this time. For now, the latest forecast increases the chances of showers and thunderstorms during this time frame, however, the highest chances each afternoon are kept over the interior and Southwest Florida. This will continue to be monitored as the week progresses. High temperatures early next week will generally range from the upper 80s to lower 90s across the region.
