.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 218 PM EDT Sun Jun 7 2026

Morning skew-t showing PW even lower then yesterday confirming the
dry air is remaining over the area. This drier air aloft will
keep shower chances at near 0 percent with highs warming up to the
mid 90`s for most of us. The one exception will be in Lee County
where it looks like we will have just enough available moisture to
produces a few storms in the evening hours.

By Tuesday moisture will be on the rise in South Florida allowing
for slightly higher storm chances in Southwest Florida. The
moisture increase will continue its push northward across much of
the state, on Wednesday. However, we will still be seeing a
northeasterly flow. In this flow regime we typically see storms
develop south of I-4 while the northern half of our area stays
dry.

Starting on Thursday we will see the flow switching southeasterly.
This along with PW back above 1.75 will bring better storms chances
to the west coast of Florida through next Saturday.
