There is an increased risk of extreme heat across much of Florida, including Miami, next week and into next weekend tied to mid-level high pressure. Heat index values may exceed 105 deg F. Little overnight relief expected with record high minimum temperatures possible.

A wet start to June is favored for Florida, which may bring much needed drought relief. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor valid May 19, nearly three-quarters of the state is designated with extreme (D3) to exceptional (D4) drought.

Southerly flow from the Gulf and a stationary front favor increasing chances of heavy rainfall along with localized river and flash flooding across portions of the south-central and southeastern U.S. beginning next week and continuing into the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Temperatures are likely to reach the upper 90’s to around 100 degrees F centered over portions of the Central and Southern High Plains, with heat index values of 100-105 degrees F. Dry, gusty surface winds may elevate wildfire risk during the first few days of the week-2 period.

May looks to be a busy month for possible tropical cyclone (TC) formation over parts of the western North Pacific. There is a 20-40% chance of TC formation around Guam and the CNMI during week-2, and greater than 60% chance of TC development in this same region during week-3.

Unseasonably chilly and windy conditions likely across much of the Midwest and East late next week. Freezing or near-freezing temperatures may damage sensitive crops across areas of the Midwest. In some areas, high winds could result in low wind chills not typically seen in May.
