SEA BREEZE TO MOVE THROUGH SHORTLY AS WINDS AT THE AIRPORT HAVE GONE
VARIABLE AND VISIBLE DEPICTS CLOUD LINE WELL. CONVECTION HAS BEEN
SLOWER TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON THAN YESTERDAY...BUT EXPECT
COVERAGE TO INCREASE SOON. SURFACE HIGH STILL SITUATED IN THE
ATLANTIC WITH RIDGE EXTENDING THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA AND OUT
INTO THE NORTHERN GULF.

DIFFICULT TO SAY HOW MUCH IF ANY DRYING TAKES PLACE FOR THU AND FRI
AS AVN KEEPS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IN PLACE THROUGH THE PERIOD AND ETA
DRIES OUT THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS SIGNIFICANTLY. BELIEVE THAT WITH
CONVECTION STARTING LATER TODAY THAT SOME DRYING IS TAKING PLACE BUT
NOT TO THE EXTENT OF THE ETA. WITH NO LARGE SCALE FORCING
FEATURES...THE SEABREEZE INTERACTIONS WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR
ACTIVITY THU. WITH GRADIENT WINDS STARTING A LITTLE MORE
SOUTHERLY...SEA BREEZE WILL KICK IN EARLIER AND MAIN FOCUS OF
ACTIVITY WILL BE FURTHER INLAND. WITH MODEL DIFFERENCES AND TODAYS
WX IN MIND...WILL STICK WITH PERSISTENCE AND KEEP POPS IN THE 30% TO
40% RANGE.

NGM BRINGS IN MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS FOR FRI BUT WILL KEEP PARTLY
CLOUDY IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW. WILL STICK CLOSE TO CLIMO FOR POPS
FRI AS RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE AND SEA BREEZE INTERACTIONS ARE THE
MAIN PLAYERS.

MARINE...NO HIGHLIGHTS DUE TO LOCATION OF HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE.

WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY ALONG THE EAST AND WEST COAST
SEABREEZES. THE MOST CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY WILL FORM AS THE
SEABREEZES COLLIDE NEAR AND JUST EAST OF THE I-75 CORRIDOR BY MID TO
LATE AFTERNOON. MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS WILL BE TO THE NORTHEAST AT 5
MPH. DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THESE STORMS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
IS POSSIBLE. STORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY
WINDS.

MOST STORMS THAT DEVELOP ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE
CRITERIA...AND STORM SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THIS
AFTERNOON.
