6/1 – The Chief’s “First Day of June” Afternoon Forecast
Heading in to this afternoon rain will continue to move in from the southeast. That being said, an area of low-pressure off the Florida west coast will meander in the NE’tern Gulf of Mexico over the next 24/36 hours before moving east. This will bring rain NW of the low pressure system later today. Embedded t-storms should remain off the coast but one or two will be possible along the coastal counties. Activity will tapper-off this evening with slow clearing overnight. Heading into Friday, high-pressure to the NW will move SE and shape the forecast into the weekend. Daytime heating could produce a few afternoon showers/t-storms Friday through the weekend with high temperatures climb into the mid/upper 80s through the 1st weekend of June. The next system will approach the western region early next week, bringing elevating rain chances once again.
