.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 208 PM EDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Currently-Thursday... KMLB radar imagery shows mostly dry
conditions over east central Florida with a few light isolated
showers over the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee county moving
east-southeast. GOES-16 satellite imagery shows a stratocumulus
cloud deck moving southeast over east central Florida with clouds
clearing over Volusia county, as well as portions of Lake,
Seminole, and northern Lake counties. Analysis charts show the
"cool" front that moved across east central Florida overnight and
into this morning just to the south of east central Florida.
Current temperatures are in the upper 70s to mid 80s. There is a
wide range in dew points with the upper 50s to mid 60s from
Brevard and Osceola counties northward and the mid 60s to mid 70s
to the south. Breezy northeast winds at 10-15mph with gusts to
25-30mph are forecast through this evening with slightly lower
wind speeds from the east-northeast at 10-15mph with gusts to
20-25mph on Thursday. Skies are expected to become partly cloudy
tonight into Thursday morning with low temperatures in the low
60s to mid 70s forecast

Friday-Sunday... High pressure (~1020-1026mb) is expected to
build over the southeastern US through Saturday with mostly dry
weather forecast across east central Florida through Saturday.
Moisture is forecast to increase on Sunday as high pressure over
the southeastern US weakens and moves east over the western
Atlantic. PWATs are forecast to increase to 1.25-2.0" on Sunday
with onshore flow. Isolated to scattered generally onshore moving
showers and isolated lightning storms are forecast into the
afternoon on Sunday (mainly south of Volusia, northern Brevard,
and Seminole counties. Afternoon highs in the mid 80s to low 90s
are forecast with partly cloudy to partly sunny skies. Lows in the
mid 60s to mid 70s Friday morning are forecast.

Monday-Tuesday... Rain shower and lightning storm chances increase
to start off the workweek with an major shortwave trough over the
western Atlantic and weak high pressure over the northeastern
Gulf of America. Guidance is in good agreement that moisture will
increase (PWATs ~ 1.90-2.10") on Tuesday ahead of a cold front
that is expected to track south over the northern Florida
Panhandle. Scattered to numerous showers (40-70%) and isolated to
scattered lightning storms are forecast. Afternoon highs in the
mid 80s to low 90s are forecast with heat index values in the mid
90s to around 100 degrees.
