Models often "spin up" systems at far out time ranges (7+ days in the future) that never materialize. Beware of posts that share a specific single model run for clickbait and opt for reliable sources instead.

5/21: A signal for near *record* moisture late this month could result in likely above normal precipitation across South Florida.

The Climate Prediction Center highlights a high (60-70%) chance of this occurring. It's too early to identify specific locations & rainfall totals.

Reminder ahead of Memorial Day weekend: Swimming in a pool is NOT the same as swimming at a beach with crashing waves, winds, and dangerous currents.
You should be a strong swimmer before you go into the ocean. Learning how to swim is the best defense against drowning.
