Overview
- A stalled frontal boundary and a northward surge of tropical moisture will trigger daily rounds of showers and scattered thunderstorms beginning Wednesday and lasting through the weekend in many regions.
- Individual storms may produce torrential downpours, gusty winds and frequent lightning that can cause localized flash flooding, with some locations seeing several inches of rain if storms train over the same area.
- South Florida and parts of the Gulf Coast will be hot and humid before the wet surge, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and feels‑like temperatures near 100 degrees.
- Forecasters expect a cold front to push through Thursday, which should lower humidity and cut rain chances for many inland and northern areas by late week while pockets of the Southeast and Florida remain wet.
- Rainfall will be highly variable county to county and model uncertainty remains strong, so residents should watch local forecasts for flash‑flood alerts, brief travel disruptions and changing storm timing.
