New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER
KEY MESSAGES
- Saharan dust will keep rain chances lower and daytime highs hotter over the next several days, Continue to practice good heat safety when spending time outdoors.
- Isolated to scattered afternoon thunderstorms, mainly north of I-4 and across the eastern interior through mid week. Strong gusty winds, brief heavy rainfall and frequent lightning are the greatest threats.

A weak upper trough is expected to move westward over the northern Gulf Coast as a weak surface frontal boundary sagging into N FL will nudge the weak surface ridge across the S Florida peninsula through mid week with light westerly flow setting up. Dry Saharan dust remains overhead as well with below normal areal rain chances.
Cirrus cloud cover should help keep temps just a bit above normal while high heat index values from 102-107 range.
This weekend, an easterly wave is expected to move over the FL Peninsula and into the Gulf with increasing rain chances areawide into early next week as typical summertime heat and humidity continues.
AVIATION

MARINE
Weak high pressure sinking southward in the region will keep the warm and humid summertime conditions in place through the week.
Generally southwesterly flow over the eastern Gulf will prevail with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms near the coast in the mornings moving inland during the afternoon. Westerly flow may increase late in the week with slightly elevated, choppy, and short period seas into the weekend.
