.SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...
Issued at 321 AM EDT Fri Jul 4 2025

Showers and storms have been filtering through the west-central
coast this morning. Area of low pressure continues to pull
moisture across the peninsula supporting periods of rain through
the period. Guidance keep PW values over 2 inches during this
time. Additional training of storms is possible today, which could
result in isolated minor flooding. Meanwhile, cloud coverage
should keep afternoon highs from getting above the upper 80s
today and Saturday.

.LONG TERM (SUN-THU)...
Issued at 321 AM EDT Fri Jul 4 2025

By early next week, slightly drier air gradually starts to wrap
into the area as the trough moves north to northeast. This will
bring rain coverage down. However, southwesterly winds prevail with
scattered to numerous showers and storms shifting onshore in the
late morning and early afternoon, building into the interior
through early evening. Temperatures will also increase gradually
getting back into the 90s area-wide.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 801 AM EDT Fri Jul 4 2025

Scattered/Numerous SHRA and occasional TSRA will occur this
morning area-wide as deep tropical moisture remains in place
across the region. Greatest precipitation coverage may shift
inland by the afternoon hours as onshore flow prevails today but
still can`t rule out some scattered TSRA at times at coastal
terminals at times so flight restrictions may occur at any time
with restrictions possible at all terminals. Rain chances will
then decrease briefly by late evening before possible
redevelopment of showers/storms occurs by Saturday morning.

.MARINE...
Issued at 321 AM EDT Fri Jul 4 2025

A stalled frontal boundary will continue to support shower and
thunderstorm development through the weekend. Southwesterly winds
between 10 to 15 knots remain in place today before decreasing to
5 to 10 knots over the weekend. SLightly drier air begins to move
behind the disturbance, which will help bring rain chances down
some going into early next week. Higher waves and winds are
possible near storms.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 321 AM EDT Fri Jul 4 2025

Area of low pressure continues to bring ample moisture across the
state supporting periods of showers and storms through the period.
Southwesterly winds will gradually become northerly as low pressure
moves away, before shifting southwesterly again for the weekend. No
fire weather concerns are anticipated during this time.
