.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 641 AM EDT Fri Oct 9 2026

 - Hazardous marine conditions will develop today across the Gulf
   waters as southeast winds increase and swell from Hurricane
   Isaias builds. 

 - Minor coastal flooding will be possible across the coastal
   areas during each high tide cycle today and into the first part
   of the weekend due to King Tides associated with the upcoming 
   new moon.

 - Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day
   heading into the upcoming weekend. The highest chances will
   remain across the interior as well as the Lake Okeechobee
   region each afternoon and evening.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 221 AM EDT Fri Oct 9 2026

A strengthening mid level ridge centered in the western Atlantic 
will continue to gradually build towards South Florida today through 
Saturday. At the same time, Hurricane Isaias will continue to push 
northward throughout the day, eventually making landfall sometime 
late tonight into early Saturday along the northern Gulf Coast. As 
Hurricane Isaias moves northward today, this will help to drag the 
frontal boundary that has been stalled out over Central Florida 
during the past couple of days northward, and away from the region. 
The pressure gradient across the region will tighten today, which
will create a breezy and gusty southeasterly wind flow across 
South Florida as the day progresses.

While the influence of the frontal boundary rapidly decreases 
across the region today, additional moisture will be pulled up 
from the south which will help to gradually erode a pocket of 
drier air that moved into the region during early morning hours. 
This additional moisture advection that will occur today will help
to increase the PWATs as they will range between 2.0 and 2.2 
inches across most areas this afternoon. With ridging building in 
aloft, convective activity will be sea breeze driven and more 
scattered in nature than it has been over the past several days. 
With a breezy and gusty southeasterly synoptic wind flow, the 
highest chances of convection will remain over the interior and 
Lake Okeechobee region during the afternoon and evening, however, 
some isolated activity cannot be ruled out over the east coast 
metro areas, especially earlier in the afternoon. High 
temperatures today will generally range from around 90 along the 
east coast to the lower 90s across interior portions of Southwest 
Florida. 

Moving into tonight and Saturday, mid level ridging will continue to 
build into the region from the western Atlantic during this time 
frame, while Isaias gradually moves across the Deep South as 
Saturday progresses. With South Florida still remaining on the 
western periphery of the mid level ridge, this will create a deep
southerly wind flow over the area across the mid to upper levels,
while a breezy and gusty southeasterly flow remains in place at 
the surface. This will help to keep advecting deep tropical 
moisture over the region throughout Saturday. While this moisture 
will help to increase chances of showers and thunderstorm area 
wide during this time frame, the steering flow and gusty winds at 
the surface will provide for rather fast storm motion. This 
general flow from south to north will also focus the highest 
chances of showers and thunderstorms back up along and north of 
Alligator Alley as the afternoon progresses. While strong 
thunderstorm chances will remain rather limited, they cannot be 
entirely ruled out especially across the Lake Okeechobee region. 
The strongest storms in the afternoon across those areas could 
contain gusty winds and heavy downpours. High temperatures on 
Saturday will range from around 90 across the east coast to the 
lower 90s across interior portions of Southwest Florida. 

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 221 AM EDT Fri Oct 9 2026

The weather pattern across the region will gradually start to change 
heading into the second half of the weekend and into Monday as mid 
level ridging in the western Atlantic expands over South Florida and 
then into the eastern Gulf during this time frame. At the same time, 
the remnants of Isaias will rapidly move northeastward across the
Midwest and into the Mid-Atlantic states on Sunday before 
starting to push off the Mid-Atlantic Coastline on Sunday night 
into Monday. Mid level wind flow across South Florida will 
gradually begin to shift and become more westerly on Sunday and 
into most of Monday. This will introduce some drier air working 
into the mid levels especially on Sunday as subsidence enhances 
across the region due to the ridging aloft.

At the surface, southeasterly winds will gradually weaken on Sunday 
and become more easterly as the day progresses. The frontal 
boundary associated with the remnant surface low of Isaias will 
also remain draped over Central Florida during this time frame. 
While there will be enough moisture in the lower levels to support
convective development, the highest chance will remain confined 
to the interior and Southwest Florida during the afternoon and 
evening hours with southeasterly surface wind flow in place. While
strong thunderstorm development will remain rather limited, an 
isolated strong storm or two cannot be completely ruled out, 
potentially producing gusty winds and heavy downpours. High 
temperatures on Sunday will generally rise into the lower 90s 
across most areas. Heading into Monday, the aforementioned 
frontal boundary will slowly push across South Florida, however, 
it will not have a lot of moisture to work with at this time as it
will be in a weakening state, and the best dynamics will be well 
to the northeast of the region. With some lower level moisture 
lingering over the area, some isolated to scattered shower and 
thunderstorm activity will be possible as the front pushes 
through. High temperatures on Monday will rise into the upper 80s 
along the east coast to the lower 90s across interior portions of 
Southwest Florida. 

Heading towards Tuesday and Wednesday, a much drier air mass will 
push into the region behind the front as high pressure builds 
back into the area. This will keep chances of showers and storms 
extremely limited during this time frame, and with the drier air 
and lower dewpoints anticipated, there will be a noticeable drop 
in humidity during the middle of the week. High temperatures on 
Tuesday and Wednesday will still remain above climatological
normals for this time of year.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 641 AM EDT Fri Oct 9 2026

Light SE winds this morning becoming 10-15 kts with gusts of 20-25
kts this afternoon. Scattered showers possible throughout the day
with thunderstorms possible this afternoon into early evening.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 221 AM EDT Fri Oct 9 2026

Hazardous marine conditions will develop over the Gulf waters today 
as a fresh to strong southeasterly breeze pushes over the region. 
Across the Atlantic waters, a moderate southeasterly breeze will 
remain in place today, however, hazardous conditions could develop 
tonight and Saturday as winds potentially become fresh to strong 
during this time frame. Seas across the Atlantic waters will 
generally range between 3-5 feet today into Saturday while seas 
across the Gulf waters will range from 4 to 7 feet due to 
increasing swells from Hurricane Isaias. Scattered showers and 
thunderstorms will be possible across all local waters through 
Saturday.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 221 AM EDT Fri Oct 9 2026

As onshore flow increases, a high risk of rip currents will develop 
across the Palm Beaches today. A moderate risk of rip currents will 
continue across all other Atlantic Coast beaches as well as the 
Collier County beaches today. The rip current risk may increase 
heading into the weekend across all Atlantic Coast beaches as 
onshore flow increases. Minor coastal flooding will remain possible 
across the coastal areas during each high tide cycle today and into 
the first part of the weekend due to King Tides associated with the 
upcoming new moon.
