.UPDATE...
Issued at 808 PM EDT Tue Jul 14 2026

PoPs were updated through 06Z to reflect current trends.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(This Evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 324 PM EDT Tue Jul 14 2026

Scattered storms will persist into the evening. A slug of moisture
over the gulf may reach our FL Panhandle counties after midnight.
As an upper low over the Mississippi Valley retrogrades, rain
chances will drop on Wednesday with the FL Big Bend favored due to
sea breeze interactions in westerly low to mid level flow.
Temperatures will be near to slightly above normal. However, heat
indices will remain below advisory criteria.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 324 PM EDT Tue Jul 14 2026

Rain chances will remain low on Thursday before increasing once
again from Friday through the weekend. How much rain we get this
weekend will depend on whether low pressure develops in the
northeast gulf. That possibility remains uncertain. More typical
diurnal summertime convective coverage will resume early next
week.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 735 PM EDT Tue Jul 14 2026

Scattered SHRA and TSRA will continue into early tonight at DHN
and ABY with tempo groups for TSRA through 02Z. Expect brief
reductions to MVFR/IFR vsbys underneath heavier storms. Beyond
this, VFR prevails overnight with light to variable Southwest to
West winds. Late overnight, SHRA may develop near the coast or
offshore ECP and have maintained VCSH here into mid morning. On
Wednesday, another round of afternoon and evening SHRA/TSRA are
possible mainly at TLH and VLD where PROB30 groups included.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 324 PM EDT Tue Jul 14 2026

Moderate westerly breezes remain possible over most of the
northeastern Gulf through this evening. Light to moderate westerly
breezes return Wednesday and linger through the rest of the work
week thanks to surface high pressure anchored across the Florida
Peninsula. Daily increases to 15 to 20 knots along the nearshore
waters can be expected due to the seabreeze. Rain chances remain
elevated today before decreasing after Wednesday.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 324 PM EDT Tue Jul 14 2026

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms remain in the
forecast, especially across the Florida Districts, through this
afternoon. More summer-like showers ands storms are forecast
Wednesday through Friday as the heat and humidity return. Good
to excellent dispersions are forecast Wednesday and Thursday.

Fog Concerns and Other Remarks...No widespread fog is expected.
