A frontal boundary remains draped just south of the FL/GA border, bringing drier conditions to southeast Georgia. An area of showers continued across the eastern half of northeast Florida this afternoon. Hi-res guidance has been struggling with the convection, and they continue to be too strong. Global models indicate more development across the interior later this afternoon into the evening hours, so kept the likely PoPs going. Showers and isolated storms should dissipate after midnight. Overnight lows will be around 70 to 75. High pressure will begin building into the southeast Sunday afternoon, with drier air moving into southeast Georgia by the evening. The stream of deep moisture will continue through Sunday across northeast Florida, and numerous showers and storms are forecast once again. Locally heavy rainfall is possible. Highs will be generally in the mid 80s across northeast Florida and the upper 80s to near 90 across southeast Georgia. .SHORT TERM /Sunday Night through Monday Night/...
