Mid and high level clouds still persist south of a line from near Gainesville to St Augustine into north central and central FL for a few more hours early this morning where late evening showers and T'storms persisted past midnight over west central FL. Patchy, shallow ground fog is possible in a few locations. Temperatures in the low to mid 70s will hold through sunrise.
Deep layer ridging will extend from the Atlantic into central and southern FL and the adjacent Gulf waters with a slight nudge to the north as a weak trough lifts from the central Appalachians to the Mid Atlantic. This will allow for southwest flow aloft to become more west southwesterly in the mid levels during the day.
This will push the Gulf seabreeze in early with showers and a few T'storms shifting across north central FL into the NE FL coast by midday and kicking off scattered to numerous T'storms along the Atlantic seabreeze confined near the east coast. Conditions in place will again support isolated strong T'storms to form that will produce wind gusts 40-50 mph, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall rates with locally heavy rainfall amounts of up to 2-4 inches potentially east of highway 301. This is supported by HRRR neighborhood probabilities of exceeding 3 inches of rain up to 30 percent along the coastal counties. T'storms will wane as they shift into the Atlantic waters by midnight with mid and high level clouds slowly clearing after midnight. Light southwest winds 5-10 mph will turn south to southeasterly at the beaches this afternoon.
Daytime highs will be in the low 90s with peak heat indices up to 100-105 degrees. Overnight lows will be in the low 70s away from the coast and mid 70s at the coast and near the St Johns river.
SHORT TERM
(Monday through Tuesday night)
Issued at 245 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025
Low to mid level ridge will slowly work northward into the area on Monday and mean deep layer flow will remain south to southwest at about 10 kt. PWATs remain healthy around 1.75 to 2 inches. NBM guidance shows numerous to widespread showers and storms. Given the influence of the mid level ridge and some drying noted in the mid levels, will lean toward scattered to numerous showers and storms, mainly during the afternoon hours. Initial activity will likely form along the I-75 corridor. Peak heating and progression of the west coast sea breeze, and the later forming east coast sea breeze should be helpful for additional convective development.
A few stronger storms are possible with heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Some of the stronger storms will be in the late afternoon over the eastern zones where the airmass will already be primed with instability. Mon night, isolated to scattered convection should dissipate gradually through the evening hours.
Tuesday, mid level ridge will be across north central FL and guidance has been fairly consistent showing mid level drying working in and some subsidence aloft. This should lead to lower rain chances so will have POPs capped at 30-50 percent. It is possible this may even be a little generous. With sfc ridge closer to the area and weaker southwest flow, the area of best convergence will shift a little further inland toward Highway 301 as the east sea breeze inland progression will be improved. Tuesday night, mainly isolated convection in the evening before dissipating overnight.
Highs will be trending a little higher Monday to Tuesday with lower to mid 90s anticipated by Tuesday. Max heat indices likely up to near 100-105. Lows in the lower to mid 70s.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 245 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025
High pressure ridge at the sfc and aloft will be located across northern and central FL Wed and Thu with flow from the south and southwest. PWATs remain near or below average and temps at 500 mb will be above average. The subsidence from the ridge and lower moisture in the mid levels will result in near or below average rain chances both days.
A mid level trough will drop into the region by Thursday night into Friday with an associated cool front moving into central GA.
A pre-frontal trough will pivot southward into the forecast area.
A slight cooling of temps aloft and an increase in deep moisture will help boost rain chances Friday and Saturday, with the weak trough likely laying over or near the forecast area on Saturday.
For now, will cap POPs at about 50-60 percent given the uncertainty at this time range on moisture availability and mesoscale features.
Max temps expected in the lower to mid 90s, with lows in the lower to mid 70s or slightly above average this period. Heat index values may rise a bit further after Wed, with values of up to around 107 on Thursday and Friday.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 142 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025
VFR conditions in place with mid and high level clouds exiting to the northeast with more persistent high clouds near GNV southward.
Lone exception of shallow ground fog at VQQ will present MVFR level restrictions 08-12Z.
Similar to yesterday, largely southwesterly prevailing light winds and flow aloft will bring in showers by 15-16Z with heavier T'storms by 18-19Z developing as the gulf seabreeze and outflows collide with the Atlantic seabreeze pinned near the east coast and have PROB30 groups for MVFR visibility and ceiling restrictions 19-24Z.
Scattered to broken cumulus cloud ceilings of 3.5 to 4.0 kft today under mid level clouds will lower at times in showers and T'storms to 2.5 kft. Light south to southwesterly winds 5-10 knots will prevail with mid level ridge just southeast of the area and surface Bermuda ridge axis over central FL.
T'storms will diminish to showers after 00Z with drying conditions by 03Z with lingering mid and high level clouds through the end of the period tonight with light southerly winds.
MARINE
Issued at 245 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025
Bermuda high pressure will be centered to the east into next week, keeping winds generally out of the south. Each day, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop over the coast and nearshore waters before drifting eastward over the offshore waters by early evening. Seas will be 2-3 feet nearshore and 3-4 feet today into Monday and then resume to 2-3 feet across the waters for much of next week.
Rip Currents: Moderate risk of rip currents are in effect today and Monday for all area beaches.
