The front becomes more diffuse across south-central Florida and the adjacent coastal waters late Friday into Saturday. Moisture continues to be limited at best. Models have reduced the precipitation potential for Friday, though an isolated sprinkle or brief shower cannot be ruled out along the Treasure Coast. A slim chance of light precipitation continues into Saturday afternoon along the Space and Treasure Coasts with a small onshore-moving potential, but if any measurable rain falls, it will be light.
Medium-range models are slowly trying to come into better agreement for Sunday onward, though one solution remains faster compared to the other. In the mid-levels, a vigorous trough east of the Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas region early in the period will continue to track eastward through early Monday morning. This creates some timing issues with the next surface cold front moving into and through east-central Florida, with one model bringing the boundary through late Sunday overnight into early Monday morning and the other during the day on Monday. A broad range of precipitation chances is expected for Sunday and Sunday night, along with a low to medium chance for lightning storms Sunday afternoon.
