Heavy Rain and Storms to Start Week

The weekend has been nice so far and it will remain quite nice for Mother s Day this Sunday Expect more clouds but still bright skies and particular sunshine at times It will be warm and breezy with highs in the mid to upper s and gusts up to mph With the high humidity peak feels-like temperatures will reach the low s for a multitude of locations Besides a spotty shower or storm it will remain dry Sunday but that changes starting tonight as a slow-moving front inches closer to Florida from the Gulf This will usher in cloudy skies overnight while rain and storms move in from west to east reaching the lower Florida Keys first and eventually the east coast metro by around daybreak Monday morning Monday will likely be a soggy stormy and unsettled day as the model guidance is showing several rounds of rain and storms driving through the area throughout the day Monday and continuing into Monday night Isolated severe storms will be workable mainly producing strong winds Heavy rainfall leading to flooding will be a concern with this setup A widespread - inches is forecast but heavier pockets are expected The below forecast model image is not meant to be taker verbatim but shows the expected that selected locations could receive numerous inches of rainfall We sure need the rain but not too much in a short period of time Heading into Tuesday it has been trending drier as the front will have passed by then but isolated to scattered showers and storms will still be workable near the east coast It s not until Wednesday and beyond when a dome of high pressure starts to build in leading to dry sunny and eventually hot conditions Highs by next weekend could potentially reach the s for the first time this year
