Issued at 100 PM EDT Sat Aug 23 2025 A rainy start to the weekend thanks to a stationary boundary hanging out over north FL. Rounds of rain and storms will continue to move onshore through the rest of the afternoon and early evening. With multiple rounds of showers and storms some areas could experience localized flooding. Remember, turn around, don`t drown when you come across water on the roads. Conditions will quiet overnight overland, however showers and storms will continue to develop over the waters with a few possibly making to the coast as the night goes on. Otherwise, scattered to numerous showers are expected once again tomorrow beginning along the coast and moving inland. With the rain coverage the next couple of days, temperatures are also expected to be just below normal. By Monday, the stationary boundary drifts further south and east of Florida and high pressure will build in. This will finally change the flow from onshore to more northerly. A bit of dry air will also filter in by midweek, slightly dropping dew points and humidity. Rain chances will also decrease as we move back into a typical summertime pattern with storms developing along sea breeze convergence. && .AVIATION...
