It may be the start of the climatological wet season in South FL,
but it`s not going to look that way heading into this weekend. Upper
level ridging and surface high pressure will dominate resulting in
warm and dry conditions persisting. Temperatures will be several
degrees above normal with highs ranging from the upper 80s near the
coasts to middle 90s over interior SW FL. Dewpoints in the upper 60s
to lower 70s will result in max heat indices in the mid to upper 90s
across the east coast metro, and around 100 over the interior.
Little relief is expected overnight with lows ranging from the upper
60s over the interior, to middle 70s closer to the coasts.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 233 PM EDT Fri May 16 2025

Stout deep-layer ridging and anhydrous weather will prevail across
South Florida through the weekend and into much of the upcoming work
week. The atmospheric column will remain quite dry during this
period as dry air rotates anticyclonically around the surface ridge
axis situated across the western Atlantic waters. NASA`s/GMAO Dust
Aerosol Optical Thickness model even hints at the periphery of a
saharan dust plume arriving across South Florida during the early to
middle portion of next week. However, the main implication of stout
ridging directly overhead will be very light mid to upper level flow
aloft. The lack of synoptic forcing will default prevailing weather
to mesoscale processes such as the diurnal sea-breeze circulations
each afternoon. Given the lack of cloud cover and subsidence aloft,
temperatures will be on the toasty side with values several degrees
above average across the area. Across inland locales, afternoon
temperatures will peak into the mid to upper 90s each with
temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s across coastal locations.
The foci of hottest afternoon temperatures may pivot during the work
week, switching from southwest florida to southeastern florida as
surface flow veers ahead of a weak boundary during the mid to late
week period. There won`t be much respite overnight as temperatures
along the coast will still remain on the warmer side with lows in
the middle to upper 70s along the east coast of South Florida.

With a lack of cloud cover and surface humidity, apparent
temperatures (feels-like temperatures) will reach 100-105 degrees
each afternoon. While just below lower bounds of heat advisory
thresholds, prolonged exposure outdoors could impact vulnerable
individuals. Sheltered areas exposed to these temperatures without
climate control (parked cars) could become deadly for children and
pets. Always look before you lock!

By mid week, a mid-level trough propagating across the Ohio River
Valley and Great Lakes region will drag an attendant surface low and
boundary eastward across the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern United
States. This boundary is then forecast to arrive across our region,
bringing a deeper pool of low-level boundary moisture. This extra
moisture could provide enough instability to spark up higher rain
chances during this period. However, as discussed in the previous
area forecast discussion, uncertainty remains regarding the
evolution of this boundary as well as if any upper level synoptic
support (current models show the base of the "parent" mid-level
trough remaining well to the north) will be in tandem with this
feature.
