KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 803 PM EDT Sat Jun 6 2026
- Above normal temps and mostly dry conditions will continue through the rest of the weekend and into early next week with heat indices topping 100 degrees each afternoon. - Increasing shower and storm chances will spread northward across the area next week, particularly during the mid week and beyond.
UPDATE
Issued at 803 PM EDT Sat Jun 6 2026
Early evening water vapor satellite imagery is showing a rather dry airmass aloft spreading from the Atlantic across the Florida Peninsula associated with a strong ridge of high pressure. This ridging has kept the area rain free today and allowed temperatures to warm up across the area, with highs topping out in the low to mid 90s across west central and southwest Florida.
The forecast looks on track overall, with a similar but even warmer day forecasted for tomorrow, although a few showers or storms will be possible over southwest Florida as moisture begins to increase from the south. No changes planned for the evening update.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS) Issued at 803 PM EDT Sat Jun 6 2026

MARINE
Issued at 144 PM EDT Sat Jun 6 2026
Winds will remain out of the east and southeast through the middle part of next week around 5 to 15 knots. We will see dry conditions through Monday with evening and early overnight storms along the west coast returning Tuesday and Wednesday.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 144 PM EDT Sat Jun 6 2026
Drier air will continue to filter in for the weekend with critical RH in the interior along the Nature Coast Sunday afternoon. However, winds will remain light so red flag will not be needed. Moisture will slowly return early next week with scattered showers returning by Wednesday.
