.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Saturday)
Issued at 1201 PM EDT Fri May 16 2025

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 Thursday)
Issued at 248 AM EDT Fri May 16 2025

Surface high and ridging will persist over the Florida peninsula
through the extended period. As a result, dry conditions and a
warming trend will continue through the weekend and early next week.
High temperatures will climb to the mid-upper 90s across southwest
Florida, where heat indices could reach 103-105 degrees each
afternoon. Meanwhile, overnight lows will drop to the upper 60s.
Along coastal areas, seabreezes will help temper conditions during
the daytime, keeping highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Overnight
lows will remain balmy in the mid- upper 70s.

Chances for rain could return near the end of the long term period.
Model guidance shows a surface low developing over the midwest and
dragging a surface front as it progresses eastward. If this solution
pans out, the front could move across the Florida peninsula late
next week, bringing isolated to scattered showers and a few
thunderstorms to South Florida. Confidence regarding this outcome
remains low at this time given uncertainty in timing with this
system.
