823am EDT Monday August 3 2026

Issued at 320am EDT Monday August 3 2026

Upper level troughing over the eastern U.S. will weaken during the first half of the week then high pressure building back in from the Atlantic Ocean by late in the week. Meanwhile at the surface the stalled frontal boundary will remain across the southeast states with high pressure ridge holding south of the area through Tuesday. The surface ridge will lift north stretching across the region during midweek, then north of the region by late week.

For today and Tuesday, the southwest to west flow will persist with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms continuing to move across the region. Highest chances remain across the Nature Coast closer to the boundary where the deepest moisture resides. Locally heavy rainfall will be a possibility with any of the convection, but the primary area for potential flooding will continue along the Nature Coast where the Flood Watch remains in effect today.

During the second half of the week as the surface ridge lifts north winds will shift to east to southeast. Plenty of moisture will continue across the region with more scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms each day, but the timing will shift back to our more typical afternoon and evening hours.

Daytime highs will remain near to a few degrees below normal with lows near to a couple of degrees above normal to start the week. Then as the east to southeast flow returns we'll see daytime highs climb back to near to a few degrees above normal during the second half of the week into the weekend with overnight lows near normal.
