.SHORT TERM (Rest of Today and Tuesday)...

Sea breeze driven convection will develop over the east coast and
move slowly westward over the interior and Gulf coast. Additional
convection will develop along seabreeze and outflow boundary
interactions. Still plenty of moisture in the atmosphere with
latest mesoanalysis having 1.7 to 1.9 inches of precipitable
water. Main concern will continue to be for slow- moving storms
producing heavy rainfall. The Weather Prediction Center has
southern and southwest portions of the peninsula under a Marginal
risk for excessive rainfall. A few stronger storms may also be
capable of producing gusty wet microbursts.

An upper level low pressure systems just to our east will keep our
weather pattern unsettled as we move into Tuesday. Diurnally driven
summertime seabreeze convection with showers and storms in the
afternoon and evening. The difference in the past few days will be a
little more synoptic wind flow with winds beginning to increase. This
will help improve overall storm motion across the area. Main impacts
will be gusty winds, heavy rainfall and lightning.

Afternoon high temperatures Tuesday will be in the upper 80s along
the immediate east coast with low 90s elsewhere. Heat index values
will approach triple digits in the afternoon.

.LONG TERM...

Wednesday through Thursday

The nearly vertically stacked upper low will continue a westward
trajectory. A series of short-wave perturbations embedded within the
wave envelope will advect towards South Florida, resulting in a low-
level mass response that favors convergence of moist air near the
surface. This should support deep sub-tropical convection that is
capable of producing heavy rainfall. With that being said, a pocket
of convergence and commensurate subsidence aloft may be associated
with the back-side of the upper low, which tends to have a negating
effect on the strength and sustenance of convection that develops.
Ultimately, subtle changes in the structure of the upper low could
drastically change the forecast; however for now it appears to be a
favorable setup for heavy rainfall over the western half of the
region. Localized flooding and perhaps a few strong to marginally
severe thunderstorms cannot be ruled out during this period,
primarily for the western half of the region.

Friday through Monday

The aforementioned upper level low will fill as it become absorbed
in the mean mid-latitude flow. As this occurs, quasi-zonal easterly
flow will dominate the region. This should allow for relatively
drier conditions compared to prior days, with the greatest rainfall
chances remaining along the western half of the region. Impacts
should be the relatively limited during this period

Temperatures will be muggy as is usual this time of year, with
afternoon maximums in the uppers 80s/lower 90s over the metro areas,
and low/mid 90s over the interior areas. Mild overnight low
temperatures should remain in the 70s over South Florida each night.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

Showers and storms will develop near the terminals this afternoon
and they will move slowly towards the interior and Gulf Coast.
Periods of MVFR/IFR are possible this afternoon/evening in and
around showers and thunderstorms. Short-fuse TEMPOs may be needed.
L/V winds overnight.

&&

.MARINE...

The winds will be southeast around 10 knots the remainder
of the day. Winds will become more easterly and breezy by end of
this week into the Fourth Of July Weekend. Seas in the Atlantic will
increase to 3 to 4 feet by the end of this week into the weekend.

&&

.BEACHES...

Easterly winds will be increasing towards the middle of
the week into the Fourth Of July Weekend over South Florida. This
will allow for an elevated risk of rip currents along the east coast
beaches.

Thunderstorms: Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected
this afternoon into early this evening. A few of the storms could

strongest storms.

Waterspouts: A limited risk of waterspouts will be possible over the
local waters associated with showers and storms over the local South

through the week before decreasing a little bit for the Fourth of
July Weekend. A few strong storms will be possible with small hail,
gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning this week.

An elevated risk along the east coast beaches may be possible towards
the end of the week into the Fourth Of July Weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Widespread spotter activation is not anticipated, however individual
spotters are encouraged to report high wind and flooding to the
National Weather Service forecast office in Miami.
