143 FGUS72 KMFL 121949 ESFMFL FLC011-021-043-051-086-087-099-130800- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Miami FL 349 PM EDT Sat Jul 12 2025 ...Heavy Rainfall Expected Across South Florida Early To Middle OF Next Week... Broad low/mid level cyclonic flow around the disturbance, combined with the very high moisture values, will result in periods of rainfall at most times of the day, not just during peak diurnal cycles. The wind flow on Monday will be light due to a northerly in the upper levels and a light southerly flow at the surface. The 500 mb temp will also be around -4 to -5C which is warm for this time of year. This means that there could be nearly stationary showers and thunderstorms on Monday over South Florida which will exceed 1 inch over most of the area, with high-end amounts in excess of 3 inches, in some areas perhaps quite a bit higher. WPC`s Excessive Rainfall Outlook is currently showing a slight risk of flooding over South Florida for Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday`s rainfall amounts could be similar, if not even higher in some areas, as the wind flow shifts to S/SE direction allowing for deep tropical moisture to work into the region keeping the very high moisture values in place. WPC`s Excessive Rainfall Outlook has put South Florida in a Slight Risk Of Flooding for Tuesday and Marginal Risk of Flooding for Wednesday. At this time, it looks like rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts up to 6 inches are possible through Wednesday. There could even be higher amounts with the storms train or sit over the same area. If these trends continue in later forecast through the weekend, but a Flood Watch may be needed for South Florida for early next week. $$ Baxter
