No changes were needed with the blank outlook for the rest of today and tonight. In coordination with MFL/Miami, FL forecast office, there was agreement that the flooding threat in south Florida remains sub-Marginal. The CAMs are in good agreement that any convection that forms today will develop west of the urban I-95=20 corridor, then track southwest across relatively rural areas around Lake Okeechobee and into the Everglades and the Naples/Marco=20 Island area. This should preclude any flooding concerns, especially given the ongoing drought and below average soil moisture levels=20 broadly across south Florida. Wegman ...Previous Discussion... We will keep an eye on south FL, where convection is likely this afternoon into tonight. However, at this time the flash flood risk looks low. Initial convective development along the east coast of FL should move off to the southwest, limiting rainfall rate duration. Additional development this evening into tonight near and post frontal passage should generally stay transient in nature, with a downward trend in CAPE also expected overnight. The 00z HREF and REFS neighborhood probabilities of exceeding 3" are over 50%, but generally focused over inland areas of south FL...and 5" exceedance probabilities from the HREF are zero. For a Marginal risk we would like to see the higher 3" probabilities focused across the coastal urban areas and/or significantly higher 5" probabilities. Thus will continue with no risk area. Chenard Day 2 Valid 12Z Sun Mar 29 2026 - 12Z Mon Mar 30 2026 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Additional showers and thunderstorms are expected across southeast FL, with a stream of activity potentially focused near the urban corridor. However, most model instability forecasts are below 1000 j/kg, and thus currently not expecting rainfall rates to be high enough for flash flooding, but we will continue to monitor. Chenard Day 3 Valid 12Z Mon Mar 30 2026 - 12Z Tue Mar 31 2026 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. There is a non-zero risk for minor urban and small stream flooding across portions of MI, northwest PA and western NY Monday into Monday night. There is a notable increase in instability, with values exceeding 1000 j/kg. This is anomalous for the time of year, especially over portions of MI where the ECMWF EFI for CAPE is over 0.9. Combine this CAPE with above average PWs and strong moisture transport and we would expect there to be a potential for heavy rainfall rates. At the moment, not really seeing enough of a consistent model QPF signal to justify introducing a risk area, but we will have to continue to monitor trends, especially as we move more into the high res model timeframe.
