Issued at 204 PM EDT Sun Aug 3 2025 The hot and humid conditions continue today. As the same set up remains over the area. A stalled front over North Florida will keep the greatest rain chances north of the nature coast. A little bit of dry air in the mid levels today will limit rain chances for this afternoon. However, isolated showers have popped up just east of the coast and more could develop further inland later this afternoon into the evening. Looking into the start of the week, more of the same continues. A little Saharan Dust may mix in over our area as the flow becomes more SE through the week, which will act to limit rain chances. However, the SAL will not be the only determining factor when it comes to rainfall throughout the week. A frontal boundary will also linger over the state, adding moisture. It will be a battle this week to see which air mass wins out. Overall, it will continue to be warm and rather humid with the possibility of relief if afternoon thunderstorms are able to develop. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 204 PM EDT Sun Aug 3 2025 VFR conditions prevail. SW flow becomes more light and variable overnight before turning onshore once again tomorrow mid morning. Most shower activity has started firing up away from terminals, however areas inland and in SWFL, could still have some showers develop nearby. Tomorrow showers and storms have a chance of developing over the waters in the morning and some may hold together to make it near coastal sites. Once again, the bulk of convection will trend more inland in the afternoon. && .MARINE... Issued at 204 PM EDT Sun Aug 3 2025 No marine concerns for most of the week as the flow remains below 10kts. Some showers and thunderstorms could develop over the water in the morning and could possibly contain some stronger gusts, and lightning. && .FIRE WEATHER...
