&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 105 PM EDT Wed Aug 6 2025

Diurnal bouts of showers and storms are expected to form on
Thursday and Friday as a mid level trough stretches ahead of the
mostly stationary frontal boundary over the region. Potential for
numerous to widespread storms building during this period with the
primary drivers for developments through the end of the week
occurring along the sea breeze boundaries and areas of
convergence. Higher rainfall amounts anticipated over inland areas
on Thursday. High temperatures through the end of the week will
rise into the mid to upper 80s primarily for areas along and north
of the I-10 corridor and in the lower 90s for north central
Florida.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 105 PM EDT Wed Aug 6 2025

Pattern of daily showers and thunderstorms will continue through
the weekend with rainfall amounts lessening through the course of

the beginning of next week as high pressure ridging extends
towards the Florida peninsula from out of the Atlantic.

and into next week with daily high temps expected to rise into the
mid 90s before midweek.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 105 PM EDT Wed Aug 6 2025

for restrictions for each of the area TAF sites. Gusty winds will
also be expected in and near thunderstorms. Convection will
dissipate during the evening hours, with a few showers lingering
through the night. Patchy inland fog may produce restrictions at
KVQQ toward dawn Thursday. Low stratus is expected to develop over
the SE GA coast overnight into Thursday morning, which could produce
restrictions at KSSI. Convective chances will increase through the
morning hours Thursday, with greater chances during the afternoon
hours.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 105 PM EDT Wed Aug 6 2025

A frontal boundary will remain over the region through Thursday.
This front will then sink south across central FL Friday through the
early part of next week. This boundary will result in unsettled
weather throughout this period, with daily rounds of showers and
thunderstorms.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area that may become
a tropical cyclone near the Southeastern US coast late this week
into this weekend. Continue to monitor NHC forecasts through the
week.
