CURRENT...WESTERN "NOSE" OF THE ATLC HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS STARTING

VEERING OF DIRECTION TO ESE. SPOTTY LIGHT-MODERATE SHOWERS CONTINUE
TO PUSH ONSHORE AND WELL INLAND...PRODUCING MAIN BRIEF DOWNPOURS IN
A FEW SPOTS.

LIFTED UP TO AROUND 775MB OR ABOUT 7.5 TO 8KFT. BOTH THE RAOBS AND

VEER TO SE-E AT ABOUT 15KT BETWEEN 1 AND 3KM.

OF I-4 AS FLOW IS A LITTLE MORE SELY NORTH OF THERE. A LITTLE MORE
HUMID TODAY WITH MAXES IN THE L70S COAST/L80S INLAND. CURRENT FCST
