from
the

systems
currently
developing
across
the
Central
and
Southeastern
United
States,
according
to
the
latest

Discussion
released
by

While
a
complex
weather
pattern
is
unfolding
across
large
portions
of
the
country—with
severe
thunderstorms,
tornadoes,
large
hail,
and
flooding
threats
from
the
Plains
to
the
Mississippi
and
Ohio
Valleys—South
Florida
remains
on
the
eastern
edge
of
the
active
weather
zone
and
is
expected
to
experience
only
isolated
showers
and
thunderstorms
through
Tuesday.
No
Severe
Weather
Expected
Locally
The
most
dangerous
weather,
including
the
potential
for
EF2
to
EF5
tornadoes,
hail
larger
than
two
inches,
and
damaging
wind
gusts,
is
confined
to
the
Central
and
Southern
Plains,
Lower
Mississippi
Valley,
and
parts
of
the
Tennessee
and
Ohio
Valleys.
A
Slight
to
Enhanced
Risk
for
severe
weather
exists
in
those
regions
through
Tuesday.
However,
South
Florida
is
not
included
in
any
of
these
risk
zones.
Local
forecasters
do
expect
some
increased
cloud
cover
and
scattered
afternoon
storms,
typical
for
this
time
of
year,
as
a
weak
frontal
boundary
lingers
over
the
Southeast.
Rainfall
amounts,
if
any,
will
be
light
to
moderate
and
pose
no
flash
flooding
concerns
at
this
time.
Looking
Ahead

As
the
active
weather
shifts
eastward
midweek,
the
frontal
boundary
may
bring
a
slight
uptick
in
shower
chances
to
parts
of
Central
and
North
Florida.
However,
South
Florida
is
expected
to
remain
largely
stable,
with
no
excessive
rainfall
or
severe
storm
activity
anticipated.
Local
residents
are
encouraged
to
stay
weather-aware
but
can
continue
regular
plans
without
interruption.
Boaters
and
beachgoers
should
still
monitor
marine
forecasts,
as
scattered
thunderstorms
may
pop
up
during
the
afternoons.
