KEY MESSAGES

- Above normal temps and mostly dry conditions over the weekend into early next week with heat indices topping 100 degrees. - Increasing shower and storm chances spreading northward across the area next week particularly mid week and beyond.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 144 PM EDT Sat Jun 6 2026 Morning skew-t showing PW less than an inch this morning as drier air remains over the area. This drier air aloft will keep shower chances at near 0 percent with highs warming up to the mid 90's both Saturday and Sunday.
This trend will continue to start our work week on Monday with highs returning to the mid 90's. We will slowly see moisture returning by Tuesday and Wednesday as highs return to the low 90's. However our upper level flow will remain out of the northeast. This will keep showers and storms mainly in southwest Florida.
Moisture continues to increase Thursday and Friday with PW getting back above 2 inches. At the same time we see our upper level flow switch more southeasterly. This should finally bring shower and storms back to the west coast of Florida.
AVIATION
