.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 200 PM EDT Mon Sep 8 2025

- Wet and unsettled conditions persist through at least mid week
  as a lingering front and deep moisture enhances coverage of
  afternoon showers and storms.

- A low threat for locally heavy rainfall and mostly minor
  flooding will continue this week, as multiple rounds of showers
  and storms are forecast.

- Temperatures are forecast to be near to slightly below normal
  through this week, with highs generally in the low to mid 80s.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 200 PM EDT Mon Sep 8 2025

Rest of Today-Tonight...Scattered showers and storms have
developed around the forecast area already this afternoon. Expect
coverage to increase over the next few hours, with deep moisture
and a stalled boundary in place just north of the forecast area.
CAMs have struggled to capture future trends, which is not
surprising given the very weak steering flow aloft. Instead,
showers and storms will generally propagate themselves along old
outflow boundaries, making for a chaotic environment. Therefore,
PoPs remain high today around 80%, with convection lingering into
the evening hours. What steering flow there is is generally from
the west, so some drift back to the coast this evening will be
possible. The main threats with the strongest storms today will be
locally heavy rainfall of 2-4", leading to minor flooding
concerns, wind gusts up to 45 mph, and lightning strikes. A
Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall continues for the area.

Convection is expected to diminish this evening into the
overnight over land areas. However, a few showers and storms will
remain possible late, thanks to the presence of the boundary. The
highest chances look to be near the coast, with convection
continuing overnight over the Atlantic waters near the diurnal
maximum. Morning lows are forecast to remain in the 70s.

Tuesday-Wednesday...The front will remain generally stalled near
or over the local area through late week. The presence of the
boundary and continued deep moisture (PWATs 2") will maintain high
coverage of showers and storms each day. PoPs up to 80% area-wide,
with the highest chances during the afternoon and evening hours.
Although, some morning or late night showers and storms cannot be
ruled out, especially near the boundary. Weak steering flow is
once again forecast Tuesday. While flow will increase slightly
into Wednesday (to around 15 kts), showers and storms are expected
to continue to be slow moving. Thus, locally heavy rainfall will
remain a threat. Accumulations of 2-4" could lead to minor
flooding concerns, compounding if the same areas receive multiple
rounds over a few days. A Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall
will continue. Additional threats from the strongest storms
include lightning strikes and gusty winds up to 45 mph. Highs will
be near to slightly above normal, mostly in the mid to upper 80s,
but may see some spots reach around 90 degrees, especially along
and inland from the Treasure Coast.

Thursday-Monday...Into late week, a deepening upper level trough
is forecast to dig through the eastern US. This feature will help
nudge the surface trough southward into the weekend, possibly even
as far as the Florida Straits. Drier air looks to move into
central Florida behind the boundary, with PWATs finally dropping
below 2". PoPs will respond, with lingering high chances (~80%)
from around Melbourne southward on Thursday falling to 40-50% late
this weekend and into early next week. Northern portions of the
forecast area will be the driest, with PoPs around 30-40% by the
weekend. Near normal temperatures, with highs in the mid to upper
80s and lows in the 70s. Northeast winds may become breezy at
times, especially along the coast, behind the boundary.

.MARINE...
Issued at 200 PM EDT Mon Sep 8 2025

Rest of Today-Tuesday...Generally favorable boating conditions
(outside of showers and storms) will continue through this
evening. Then, a building NE swell is forecast tonight into
Tuesday. Seas 1-3 ft are expected to build to 3-5 ft by Tuesday
afternoon. High coverage of showers and storms will continue, with
a stalled boundary just north of the local waters. With the
boundary near the area, winds are expected to remain generally
light and variable.

Wednesday-Saturday...The boundary will drift very slowly southward
into this weekend, eventually allowing some drier air to filter in
from the north late week. Until then, high coverage of showers and
storms will continue each day, becoming nearer to normal this
weekend. North-northeasterly winds will increase behind the
boundary, becoming up to 10-15 kts through the end of the week and
up to 15-20 kts north of the Cape on Saturday. Seas up to 3-5 ft
look to continue, with up to 6 ft well offshore.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFs)
Issued at 159 PM EDT Mon Sep 8 2025

The east coast sea breeze has developed and is beginning to move
inland from MLB southward. Given this trend, have opted to remove
TSRA TEMPOs at MLB and the Treasure Coast terminals with the 18Z
package, keeping only "vicinity" wording. Further north and across
the interior, a wet afternoon is forecast. However, there is high
uncertainty in exact convective evolution. TSRA TEMPOs are
included at TIX/DAB beginning at 18Z with activity forecast to
increase in coverage in the near term. Peak coverage should occur
a little later across the interior with TEMPOs from 20Z/24Z
(19Z/23Z at SFB). Amendments may be needed through the afternoon
with some uncertainty in the current forecast. Generally dry
overnight with a few coastal showers possible from Cape Canaveral
northward. Winds generally out of the east this afternoon while
remaining 10 kts or less. Light and variable winds overnight. Will
need to monitor for low CIGs early Tuesday morning with periods
of MVFR CIGs possible.
