.DISCUSSION...
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.
