DISCUSSION
Issued at 237 PM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Upper-level ridging remains situated across Central Florida and stretches east into the Atlantic. Weak surface high pressure remains over Florida in response, with a predominantly SSE flow at the surface. This is a continuation of the conditions that have been in place for the last few days.
What is changing, however, is the overall moisture content. Drier air is advecting into the area, leading to considerable mid-level drying. Low-level moisture will remain, and there will still be times when moisture pools in the vicinity of boundaries that develop. As such, rain chances will be considerably lower, but not zero. It also supports lower-topped convection when storms do form.
Without a doubt, there will still be thunderstorms, but the expectation is for fewer overall.
The driest air is likely over the next couple days before the moisture content gradually increases later in the week. Thus, rain chances are creeping up later in the week. Overall, though, this pattern is quite locked in with little change.
As such, expect pretty typical summertime to conditions to continue.
With lower rain chances, there will be limited relief in the evenings favoring lingering heat later into the evening. Overall, though, the setup is pretty standard for this time of year.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 237 PM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Thunderstorms remain the primary hazard, but the overall window for impacts will generally be shorter and overall coverage more limited over the next couple days with some drier air moving into the region. However, the setup is favorable for some late night storms tonight, lingering along the coast through mid-morning. This is more the exception rather than the rule for the next few days. As moisture increases again later in the week, the potential for impacts will again increase.
MARINE
Issued at 237 PM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Coastal showers and thunderstorms will continue, but likely on a more limited basis over the next couple days as drier air moves across the region. An ESE wind generally less than 15 knots will be dominant, turning onshore along the coast in the afternoon.
However, expect higher winds and seas near and around storms.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 237 PM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Drier air is filtering in to lower overall thunderstorm coverage for the first half of the week. However, low-level moisture will remain sufficient to keep RH values well above critical thresholds. As such, there are no significant fire weather concerns.
