.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 252 AM EDT Fri May 15 2026

Today-Tonight... A surface front will push into east central Florida
this morning before washing out by this afternoon. Locally, drier
air will filter across central Florida with forecast PW values
dropping to 0.6-0.8" across the north, and 1.0-1.2" across the
south. While most areas will remain dry, there is a low to medium
(20-30 percent) chance of rain and lightning storms into this
afternoon and evening around the Lake Okeechobee region. High
pressure will build across the southeast US today, turning the local
winds onshore. Wind speeds will enhance in the afternoon to 10-15
mph behind the inland-moving sea breeze. Seasonable to slightly
above normal temperatures are forecast, with afternoon highs in the
mid to upper 80s, with low 90s forecast across the far interior.
Overnight lows will be slightly warmer tonight than last night as
onshore winds increase temperatures to the upper 60s to mid 70s.

At the beaches, there is a High risk of rip currents once again at
all area beaches today. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged!

Saturday-Thursday... High pressure just off the coast of the
Carolinas will slowly shift north and east, with its axis remaining
over the Florida peninsula through the weekend and into early next
week. Locally, this will maintain onshore flow through the period,
with winds becoming enhanced to 10-15 mph in the afternoon with the
formation of the east coast sea breeze. A gradual increase in
moisture is forecast this weekend and into early next week within
the onshore flow. This will raise rain chances slightly, with a low
to medium (20-60 percent) chance of rain, focused along the coast
early in the day and translating inland with the afternoon sea
breeze. Seasonable to slightly above normal temperatures through the
period, with afternoon highs generally in the 80s, with low 90s well
inland will be possible each day.

offshore mainly during the late afternoon/evening hours each day.
