The radar

The Miami radar (KAMX), 85 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:09 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Miami, FL (KMFL), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 75 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

  • Updated at 224 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026
  • Isolated showers and thunderstorms are forecast across the interior and southwest FL this afternoon. A few could generate gusty winds, as well as lightning strikes and locally heavy rainfall.
  • Moderate to Major HeatRisk impacts again today, with temperatures in the low-mid 90s, and heat indices 103-107F.
  • Dry air associated with the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) will move into the area late week and into the weekend, decreasing rain chances.

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 224 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026

 - Isolated showers and thunderstorms are forecast across the
   interior and southwest FL this afternoon. A few could generate
   gusty winds, as well as lightning strikes and locally heavy
   rainfall.

 - Moderate to Major HeatRisk impacts again today, with
   temperatures in the low-mid 90s, and heat indices 103-107F.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Tuesday)
Issued at 325 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026

As of 3 PM, scattered showers and storms have begun to
develop across portions of the forecast area. CAMs suggest this
activity will remain mainly over the interior, with very weak
steering flow leading to slow-moving convection. Therefore, most
activity today is expected to occur along the sea breezes and any
boundary collisions, including outflow collisions from other
storms. Mesoanalysis shows dry air present in the mid-levels will
lead to DCAPE near or just shy of 1000 J/kg this afternoon. Thus,
gusty winds near 50 mph cannot be ruled out in the strongest
storms, in addition to lightning strikes and locally heavy
rainfall. Showers and storms will diminish this evening, generally
after sunset.

Dry conditions then prevail overnight. However, models show
isolated showers and perhaps a storm or two could drift onshore
Broward and Miami-Dade Counties towards sunrise and Tuesday
morning. By the afternoon, scattered showers and storms are
forecast once again along the sea breeze collision, with
conditions very similar to today. But, a slightly more centralized
collision is expected, with some drift into the western metro
areas possible by the evening.

Hot conditions continue, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and
heat indices 103-107+. Will need to continue to monitor the need
for any Heat Advisories. Regardless, HeatRisk is forecast to
remain Moderate to Major for most of the forecast area.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 325 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026

The Atlantic ridge persists over the western Atlantic through the
period, with a ridge axis stretched across the local area.
Ridging strengthens into the weekend, as high pressure develops
through the column over the Florida peninsula. Meanwhile, models
suggest a wave of SAL moving into the area, helping to provide dry
air and increased subsidence. Therefore, while scattered showers
and storms remain forecast through mid-week this week, the
aforementioned factors will work to limit convection by late week
and into the weekend. However, may still see some higher PoP
coverage along the SW coast, as easterly flow strengthens and pins
the west coast breeze into next week. While drier air will limit
convection, any cells that manage to develop will be capable of
gusty winds, should they be able to take advantage of increased
DCAPE.

Heat remains a concern into early next week, despite some slightly
drier air moving into the area. High temperatures in the 90s each
day and dew points in the 70s will continue to produce widespread
Moderate to Major HeatRisk. Residents and visitors should attempt
to limit outdoor activities during the heat of the day, stay
hydrated, and take frequent breaks in the shade or air
conditioning. Remember, never leave children or pets unattended in
a car for any period of time.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 124 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026

VFR conditions prevailing. Isolated to scattered showers and
storms this afternoon/evening should remain over the interior,
with little to no impact for TAF sites. Sea breezes produce winds
near 10 kts this afternoon, then winds become light and variable
overnight. A few showers possible along the east coast of south
Florida after sunrise, with VCSH included. Then, scattered storms
are forecast once again after 18Z, which could drift towards east
coast metro areas.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 325 PM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026

High pressure prevails through this week over the local waters.
Light south-southeast winds continue across the Atlantic, while
south-southwest winds develop in the afternoons across the Gulf
waters with the development of the sea breeze. Isolated to scattered
showers and storms will predominantly remain over land areas.
However, slow moving storms may drift offshore in the evenings and
could produce locally hazardous winds and seas. Seas are expected at
1-2 feet or less and winds remain under 15 knots outside of any
thunderstorm activity.
