230 PM EDT WED JUN 20 2001

CURRENTLY...SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED SHORT WAVE ENERGY
LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. THIS ENERGY WAS GENERATING
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ATLANTIC OFF THE FLORIDA/GEORGIA COAST. MSAS
ALSO SHOWED HAT GOOD CONVERGENCE WAS GENERATING SOME THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG THE EASTERN FLORIDA COAST...WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS BEING MORE
NUMEROUS OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA COAST. THE GULF SEA
BREEZE WAS BEGINNING TO BEGINNING TO MAKE SOME MOVEMENT...WITH SOME
SHOWERS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
NEXT HOUR OR TWO WITH BOTH SEABREEZES BEGINNING TO COME INTO
PLAY...SO EXPECT PRETTY MUCH A REPEAT OF TUESDAY.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PACKAGE IT SEEMS LIKE MORE OF THE SAME WITH
SEABREEZE INTERACTION PRODUCING AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE IN THE UPPER
80S AND LOWER 90S...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S
TO MID 70S. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA BY LATE WEEK...BUT
WILL PROBABLY DISSIPATE ACROSS OR JUST NORTH OF THE AREA.
