.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 255 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

- Higher coverage of afternoon and evening showers and storms will
  persist into next week. Main threats will be lightning strikes,
  gusty winds 40-50 mph, and locally heavy rainfall from slow
  moving storms.

- Hot and humid conditions will lead to heat indices 100-107 and a
  Moderate to locally Major HeatRisk over Central Florida,
  residents and visitors should remain well-hydrated and seek
  breaks in the shade or A/C during the heat of the day. For more
  info about HeatRisk and heat safety tips, visit Heat.gov.

- A moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents persists at all
  Atlantic beaches of Central Florida. Please swim near a lifeguard.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 255 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

Current-Tonight... The 15Z XMR sounding has shown a deep column of
moisture through 15,000ft with light winds observed throughout
the profile. Isolated, slow moving storms have started to develop
along the sea breeze early this afternoon with additional
development getting underway across the interior where
temperatures are observed in the upper 80s and low 90s. Increasing
coverage (60-80%) of showers and storms will peak towards the
central peninsula, near and south of Orlando, late this afternoon
and evening along a sea breeze collision. A localized heavy
rainfall threat will exist again this afternoon and evening, and
slow moving or stationary storms will be capable of quick 2-4"
accumulations over a 60-90 minute period. Surface instability
greater than 2,500 J/kg will allow for quick updrafts and
lightning strikes, however, a slightly drier layer aloft and warm
500mb temperatures around -6C should generally limit stronger
storm development. Convection may linger a few hours beyond sunset
with dry conditions then forecast overnight. Low temperatures
will remain mild and muggy with most locations in the mid 70s.

Saturday-Friday... A persistent summertime pattern is forecast as
high pressure holds control at the surface and aloft. The surface
ridge axis sinks southward early this weekend, settling near south
Florida and the Florida Straits into next week. Light southwest
flow develops locally, modestly increasing Monday and Tuesday as a
cold front sags into the southeast U.S. Mid level ridging will
continue to dominate through the next week, keeping the front
north of the Melbourne CWA. An offshore flow regime combined with
near to above seasonal moisture will favor at least scattered
showers and storms across east central Florida each afternoon and
evening. Current trends suggest the greatest area-wide coverage
(50-70%) of diurnal showers and storms occurring Sunday,
coincident with the period of highest moisture (PWAT ~1.9-2.2"). A
better pinned sea breeze should occur Monday into mid week, and
this will begin to favor the best rain chances in vicinity of
I-95 each afternoon and evening. Slow moving or stationary storms
will continue to promote a locally heavy rainfall threat which may
lead to nuisance or minor flooding of urban or low lying areas.
Otherwise, isolated stronger storms will be capable of frequent
lightning strikes and gusty winds of 40-50 mph. Brief funnel
clouds or waterspouts may be possible along chaotic boundary
collisions, particularly from Monday onward as the southwest flow
slightly increases.

Outside of storms, the forecast`s focus is directed to a period of
hazardous heat. Above normal temperatures are forecast each day with
highs ranging the low 90s along the coast and low to mid 90s inland.
Deep moisture within the low levels will further promote peak heat
index values between 100-107F each afternoon, and a Moderate to
Major HeatRisk will expand across east central Florida, including
the Orlando Metro. Overnight lows mostly in the mid to upper 70s
will continue muggy conditions through the early morning hours. For
more info about HeatRisk and heat safety tips, visit Heat.gov.

.MARINE...
Issued at 255 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026

High pressure will maintain favorable boating conditions this
weekend and into next week. Light offshore flow each morning shifts
southeast near the coast as the sea breeze develops each afternoon.
Winds then veer south to southwest each evening, increasing 10-15
kts. Seas mostly 2-3 ft. Chances for showers and storms remain near
the coast on Saturday with increasing coverage of offshore moving
storms building into early next week.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 125 AM EDT Sat Jun 13 2026

Light and variable winds through this morning. The east coast sea
breeze will develop later this afternoon, turning winds easterly
at the coastal terminals after 17Z and more southeasterly across
the interior terminals after 20Z. VCSH and VCTS chances increase
along the sea breeze, with highest coverage of showers and storms
focused near the interior terminals late afternoon. Depending on
trends, TEMPOs may be needed for the interior terminals, but
confidence in timing and placement of highest coverage is too low
right now. Will continue to monitor. Activity diminishes into the
overnight hours, with light southwest winds forecast at all
terminals beyond 00Z.
