IRE WEATHER... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 311pm EDT Sat May 16 2026

- There is a medium to high chance of locations reaching 90 degrees or above this weekend into mid week next week. The Florida Big Bend and southwest Georgia have the highest chances. The heat may affect those who are sensitive, especially without cooling/hydration.

- Isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected into next week with the better chances towards the end of the week. Afternoon storms each day could produce gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall.

.SHORT TERM & Long Term (This Evening through next Friday) Issued at 311pm EDT Sat May 16 2026

Warm and relatively dry conditions are expected to start out the forecast period with southeasterly to southerly winds returning to the area. The Bermuda High remains centered off the Atlantic coast through the next week, keeping a steady stream of increasing moisture over the region. This will cause nightly low temperatures to rise into the upper 60s to low 70s by early next week. Ridging begins to slide over the region over the weekend into next week, allowing high temperatures to warm into the upper 80s to low 90s area-wide. The ridging is forecast to be the strongest Monday through Wednesday next week, so highs are most likely to reach 90+ on those afternoons.

A fairly summer-like setup is expected for rain chances with PoPs beginning to increase as moisture increases late in the weekend and into next week. Convection is first expected along the seabreezes: both along the Gulf coast in the afternoons and also across the I-75 corridor in the evening from the Atlantic seabreeze. Severe weather is not expected at this time, but afternoon storms could produce some gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall.

Marine
Issued at 311pm EDT Sat May 16 2026

Light to moderate southeasterly winds will continue into next week as high pressure remains situated off the east coast. A slight uptick in winds will occur in the overnight hours each night as easterly surges work offshore but should remain below cautionary thresholds.

Fire Weather
Issued at 311pm EDT Sat May 16 2026

A warming and moistening trend is expected into next week with south to southeasterly flow over the area thanks to high pressure off the Carolina coast. Min RHs will continue to improve to the mid 40 to mid 50% Sunday. High mixing heigheights and breezy transport winds will likely lead to high dispersions each day through Monday. Generally dry today with increasing rain chances Sunday along the I-75 corridor. The Gulf Coast seabreeze will also generate isolated showers and thunderstorms beginning next week favoring the eastern Florida panhandle. Very high mixing heigheights will lead to high dispersions over much of the area over the next few days.

Hydrology
Issued at 218am EDT Sat May 16 2026

Rainfall chances have trended slightly higher over the next week though rainfall amounts are expected to be light with no flooding anticipated.

Extreme to exceptional drought continues across the area as long- term rainfall deficits and low streamflows continue. For more information on local drought impacts, please visit www.weather.gov/tae/DroughtInformationStatement.
