.SHORT TERM & LONG TERM...
(This Evening through next Thursday)
Issued at 143 PM EDT Fri May 15 2026

Warm and relatively dry conditions are expected to start out the forecast period with southeasterly to southerly winds returning to the area. The Bermuda High remains centered off the Atlantic coast through the next week, keeping a steady stream of increasing moisture over the region. This will cause nightly low temperatures to rise into the upper 60s to low 70s by early next week. Ridging begins to slide over the region over the weekend into next week, allowing high temperatures to warm into the upper 80s to low 90s area-wide. The ridging is forecast to be the strongest Monday through Wednesday next week, so highs are most likely to reach 90+ on those afternoons.

A fairly summer-like setup is expected for rain chances with PoPs beginning to increase as moisture increases late in the weekend and into next week. Convection is first expected along the seabreezes: both along the Gulf coast in the afternoons and also across the I-75 corridor in the evening from the Atlantic seabreeze. Severe weather is not expected at this time, but afternoon storms could produce some gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall.

LONG TERM

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 732 PM EDT Fri May 15 2026

VFR conditions are expected with mainly light and variable winds.
The exception is ECP where winds will be influenced by a daily seabreeze. Some patchy fog is possible early Saturday morning but confidence was too low to warrant mention in the TAFs.

MARINE
Issued at 143 PM EDT Fri May 15 2026

Gentle to moderate southeast breezes establish Saturday into next week. A slight uptick in winds will occur in the overnight hours each night as easterly surges work offshore but should remain below cautionary thresholds.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 143 PM EDT Fri May 15 2026

A warming and moistening trend is expected over the weekend with south to southeasterly flow over the area. Min RHs will improve to the mid 40 to mid 50% by Sunday. High mixing heights and breezy transport winds will likely lead to high dispersions each day over the weekend and Monday. Despite increasing moisture, the only notable chance for rain comes Sunday afternoon and evening along the I-75 corridor. Otherwise, conditions are expected to remain warm and dry.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 221 AM EDT Fri May 15 2026

Moisture returns later this weekend into next week. Only low end chances for isolated showers and thunderstorms expected each day.
