.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Thursday)
Issued at 237 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023

...Strong to Severe Storms Possible This Afternoon/Evening with
Locally Heavy Rainfall...

A potentially active afternoon and evening ahead of us with
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, primarily over the
interior and east coast metro. These storms will be capable of
producing damaging winds, small hail, and heavy rainfall with
localized flooding possible.

An upper level trough extends from the Southeast US over the FL
peninsula and eastern GOM, while a weak surface low and associated
stationary front sit over Central FL. This low will push
southeastward towards South FL by late tonight and allow for a
continuation of the unsettled pattern. With cooling temperatures
aloft (-11C at 500mb, <14kft FZL), and sufficient instability (>2000
J/kg MLCAPE) and shear (effective bulk shear of 20-30kts), there is
the potential for strong to severe storms to develop along
boundaries through the evening. The biggest concern at this time is
heavy rainfall leading to localized flooding due to very slow storm
motions. Isolated pockets of 4-6 inches of rainfall are not out of
the question today, but generally expecting a more widespread 1-3
inches of rainfall for the areas that see storms. Damaging winds,
hail, and frequent lightning are also potential threats. Convective
activity is expected to taper off late in the evening.

Another active convective day is on tap for Thursday with scattered
to numerous showers and thunderstorms, primarily during the
afternoon and evening. Environmental conditions will be slightly
less favorable for severe storms as temps aloft warm a degree or
two, and wind profiles are a little weaker. However, any
thunderstorms will be capable of producing gusty winds and heavy
rainfall, with localized flooding possible.

High temperatures will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s with
overnight lows in the upper 60s for interior areas and low-mid 70s
for coastal areas.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 237 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023

The unsettled pattern continues at least through the first half
of the long term period. A mid to upper level cutoff low is
progged to develop across the eastern CONUS and begin pushing
towards the Southeast late on Thursday. This feature will deepen
through the day on Friday and aid in the development of a surface
low just off the northeast Florida coast by late Friday. At the
surface, the remnants of a frontal boundary that was stalled just
to the north of the region will continue to allow for a rather
light west to southwesterly wind flow through the end of the week.
This will allow for rich tropical moisture to continue to advect
into the region as the latest forecast soundings show PWAT values
hovering between 1.6 and 1.8 inches. These features will allow
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to develop across
the entire South Florida area and local waters Friday afternoon.
With cooling 500mb temps, a few strong storms cannot be ruled out
with the best chance for seeing stronger cells around the Lake
Okeechobee region.

Heading into the weekend, the upper level cutoff low likely will
linger across the Southeast and keep South Florida in a westerly-
southwesterly regime through the weekend. This will favor scattered
afternoon sea breeze driven showers and thunderstorms across
portions of the interior and eastern metro areas each day. Some
guidance is showing a chance for mid-upper level dry air to reach
the area on Saturday and Sunday and this could potentially limit
coverage somewhat although it seems there will be enough lower-level
moisture to support at least a few showers and thunderstorms each
day, especially on Saturday.

Temperatures across the area will remain hot through the long term
period. Highs will likely be reaching the lower 90s and heat indices
in the upper 90s each day. The evenings will remain warm, with lows
dropping to the low 70s along the East coast and mid 60s in the
interior.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 237 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023

Increasing scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are
expected until the evening hours. Expect periods of reduced vis
and low cigs with any storm affecting the terminals, so AMDs/TEMPOs
may be needed. Light SSW flow with a more westerly component over
APF with Gulf breezes. Brief easterly sea breeze winds possible
through the evening at east coast terminals. Winds become light
and variable again late tonight and overnight. Another round of
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms expected on
Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 237 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023

South to southwesterly flow will prevail across Atlantic waters
today and tomorrow with northwesterly flow across Gulf waters. Low
seas will dominate outside of the Gulf Stream, with 2-3 feet within
the current. Showers and storms expected each day this week, which
may result in locally hazardous seas and winds.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 237 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023

Along the Atlantic coast, onshore flow will result in a moderate rip
current risk along the Atlantic beaches. An elevated risk will
remain for the next several days across Palm Beach County beaches
due to an increasing NE swell.

...Strong to Severe Thunderstorms This Afternoon & Evening...
...Moderate Risk of Rip Currents for All Atlantic Beaches...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for Atlantic coastal waters,
southeast Florida, southern Florida, southwest Florida and Gulf of
Mexico.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Thunderstorms: Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are likely
this afternoon and evening across interior and eastern portions of
the area. The main hazards will be locally heavy rainfall, gusty
winds, small hail, and lightning.

Flooding: Heavy rainfall within showers and thunderstorms could lead
to localized flooding in the low lying and poor drainage areas
today.

Rip Currents: There is a moderate risk of rip currents for the
Atlantic beaches.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

An elevated risk of rip currents is likely to continue for the rest
of this week, mainly along the Palm Beaches. The risk of rip
currents will increase across all east coast beaches heading into
the upcoming holiday weekend.

Showers and storms will remain fairly widespread through the end of
the week. Periods of heavy rain will be possible and could lead to
localized flooding concerns especially across the east coast metro
areas.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters are encouraged to report high wind, hail, and
flooding to the National Weather Service forecast office in Miami
while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines.
