.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 106 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025

The main concern through the work week is a developing surface low
off the east coast of Florida which is anticipated to move across
the Florida peninsula and into the northeastern Gulf by late
Tuesday. There is the potential that this system could develop into
a tropical system as it continues westward or west-northwestward
across the northeastern and north central Gulf through late week.
The National Hurricane Center currently has a 20% chance of
tropical development within the next 48 hours and a 30% chance
over the next 7 days. Regardless of how much this system develops,
rain chances increase to likely to categorical pops for most of
the area by Wednesday, with mostly categorical pops for Thursday
and Friday. Rainfall totals from Wednesday through Friday range
from near 1 inch well inland to around 2 inches near the coast,
and will need to monitor for potential flooding concerns
particularly over the southern portion of the area. Likely pops
prevail for Saturday through Monday as abundant deep layer
moisture remains in place over the region in the wake of the
potential tropical system. In the near term, another concern will
be heat index values on Tuesday which look to mostly top out
between 102 and 107, with the higher values over the southern half
of the area and just shy of Heat Advisory criteria (108). For
now, will continue to monitor but cannot rule out that a Heat
Advisory may become necessary for Tuesday afternoon. A low risk of
rip currents is expected through Wednesday, then a moderate risk
follows for Wednesday night. A HIGH risk of rip currents is
anticipated for Thursday through Friday. /29
