Issued at 352 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025 Ridging to our north will continue through our work week. This will allow for our southeasterly winds to continue keeping us in a regime 6. This regime normally favors storms on the west coast of Florida in the late afternoon and evening hours. The main difference during the week will be some drier air filter into the area. This will bring PWs down closer to 1.5. This will result in some lower PoPs compared to what we saw late last week with the southeasterly winds. As we head into next weekend the ridge looks to shift a little closer to use and shift our winds more northeasterly. This regime typically gives us lower rain shower chances with the best chance being in southwest Florida. && .AVIATION...
