.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Saturday)
Issued at 104 PM EDT Fri May 26 2023

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms continue to develop
this afternoon as multiple boundary interactions are ongoing. Storms
have the mid to upper level support to become strong to severe with
an evolving mid level low deepening over the Southeastern portion of
the country. With very little steering flow aloft, thunderstorms
have been slow moving. This will continue to create the potential
for localized flooding especially over the east coast metro areas
where heavy rainfall has been occurring over the past several days.
Shower and thunderstorm activity will gradually diminish this
evening as loss of diurnal heating and instability continues. Many
areas will remain dry overnight, however, additional shower and
thunderstorm activity will be possible over the local waters during
this time frame.

Tonight into Saturday, the surface area of low pressure will begin
to deepen and slowly move northeastward off the Southeast coastline
and away from South Florida. This will begin to pull down some drier
air from the north as the latest model soundings show PWAT values
ranging between 1.4 and 1.6 inches on Saturday. While these values
are still sufficient to allow for showers and thunderstorms to
develop along the sea breezes in the afternoon, the intrusion of
somewhat drier air will help to decrease the coverage compared to
what it has been over the past several days. With the closed mid
level low centered well off to the northwest, the light west to
southwesterly steering flow will continue allowing for the storm
motion to remain slow. This will also keep the highest chances of
showers and storms over the interior and east coast in the afternoon
where sea breeze and thunderstorm outflow boundaries will interact
with each other. High temperatures on Saturday will generally rise
into the lower to mid 80s across the Lake Okeechobee region, and
into the upper 80s along and south of Alligator Alley.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 104 PM EDT Fri May 26 2023

The aforementioned surface low and associated boundary should
finally exit the region Saturday night into Sunday, ushering in a
brief period of somewhat quiet weather for South Florida.
The mid-level low will continue to stay situated over the
southeast US through Sunday before pushing eastward
out over the Atlantic and lifting northeastward Monday into
Tuesday.  This regime change will allow for drier air to filter
into the area, inhibiting the potential for widespread rain
chances.

Nevertheless, a few isolated showers could still develop Sunday
and Monday along the sea breeze boundaries. With less cloud
coverage in the forecast thanks to the drier air mass, daytime
heating will be more efficient, leading to a general warming trend
through early next week. 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 1254 PM EDT Fri May 26 2023

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms continue to
develop near the terminals this afternoon. Periods of MVFR and IFR
will be possible in and around showers and thunderstorms. These
storms will gradually diminsh later this evening and winds will
become light and variable. Short fused amendments will be likely
this afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 104 PM EDT Fri May 26 2023

A deepening area of low pressure over the western Atlantic will
create hazardous marine conditions for the Atlantic waters heading
into tonight and the weekend. This will create a northeasterly swell
with wave heights of 10 to 12 feet on Saturday and into Saturday
night. These seas will be slow to decrease for the second half of
the weekend and into the early portion of next week. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day over the
upcoming weekend and into early next week especially over the
Atlantic waters. Over the Gulf waters, a light to moderate west to
northwesterly flow will remain in place with seas generally ranging
between 1 and 3 feet.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 104 PM EDT Fri May 26 2023

The risk of rip currents will increase across all Atlantic Coast
beaches heading into the upcoming weekend as a northeasterly swell
builds in the western Atlantic. This swell may cause increasing wave
heights in the surf zone along the Palm Beach County beaches on
Saturday and Sunday.

...Strong to Severe Thunderstorms This Afternoon & Evening...
...Hazardous Marine Conditions for Atlantic Waters This Weekend...
...High Risk of Rip Currents for the Palm Beach County 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: Numerous thunderstorms are likely this afternoon into
this evening. Some of these storms could become strong to severe.
The strongest thunderstorms could contain heavy rainfall, damaging
wind gusts, frequent lightning and small hail. An isolated tornado
cannot be ruled out.

Wind: The strongest thunderstorms could contain wind gusts up to 60
mph.

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

Tornado: An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out in the strongest
thunderstorms over the interior and east coast.

Marine: A building northeasterly swell in the Atlantic waters will
cause wave heights to build to 8 to 12 feet later tonight creating
hazardous marine conditions.

Rip Currents: There is a high risk of rip currents for the Palm
Beaches, and a moderate risk for the beaches of Broward and Miami
Dade County.

Waterspouts: An isolated waterspout cannot be ruled out with the
strongest thunderstorms over Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic waters.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

The risk of rip currents will increase across all east coast
beaches heading into the upcoming holiday weekend.

Marine conditions will remain hazardous through the holiday weekend
and into next week as the northeasterly swell persists.

Scattered showers and storms remain possible through the weekend and
into next 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.
