.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 100 AM EDT Sun May 10 2026
Mid/upper level ridge will continue across the region today and
Monday. At the surface, high pressure will remain in control.
Southerly winds will continue to pump in moist and humid air into
the low levels, with PWAT values of 1.8-2 inches across South FL.
Increasing shower and storm chances are expected today and Monday,
with the highest chances from mid afternoon through early evening
both days, favoring inland locations and western portions of the
metro. Can`t rule out an isolated strong to marginally severe storm,
with strong winds being the primary threat.
The heat will continue to be a story the next couple days. Afternoon
high temps will be in the lower 90s across the east and west coast
metro, with mid to upper 90s over inland locations. Combined with
dewpoints in the middle 70s, max heat indices will be 100-105, with
locally higher values over SW FL. While heat headlines are not
expected, anyone with outdoor plans will want to plan accordingly to
stay safe from the heat. Not much relief is expected overnight, with
low temps only falling into the lower 70s over inland locations, and
mid to upper 70s closer to the coasts.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 100 AM EDT Sun May 10 2026
Unsettled weather continues this next week as an upper level trough
ejects from the southern plains early in the week, and swinging
across FL by mid week. A surface frontal boundary will cross the
state during the day on Tuesday and settle across the Straits before
dissipating mid week. A short wave and back door cold front will
cross the area towards the end of the work week.
Highest rainfall chances will be on Tuesday associated with the
frontal boundary crossing the area and trough axis approaching the
area from the west. Depending on timing, this could result in a few
stronger storms across the area, as well as an isolated urban
flooding risk. Will need to monitor this threat closely over the
coming days. Rain chances will remain elevated through Wednesday
before drier conditions return for the end of the week, although the
short wave and backdoor front will keep at least a slight chance of
showers and storms in the forecast.
Temperatures will remain above normal next week, with highs
generally ranging in the upper 80s to lower 90s across the metro, to
low and mid 90s over inland locations. Overnight lows will be in the
60s/70s each night.
