ESFMFL A tropical disturbance will be moving northward from the Caribbean Sea into the Gulf Of Mexico next week bringing deep tropical moisture to South Florida. PWAT values will be increasing to 2.5 to 2.8 inches over South Florida during this time period which is near or at the maximum PWAT values for this time. These high PWAT values will lead to likely to widespread rains along with some thunderstorms across South Florida for the middle to end of next week. These heavy rains will allow for some flooding conditions to develop over South Florida for the middle to end of next week, as the grounds are becoming saturated from the daily showers and thunderstorms that been ongoing for the last several days. At time time it is still uncertain on how much rainfall will get over South Florida for this time period due to the location of the tropical disturbance. Rainfall totals will become clearer over the coming days.
