.DISCUSSION...
Todays weather has been much quieter than yesterday, as forecast.
Actually, even quieter so far. However, Hi-res models are still
indicating the activity will pick up this evening in the interior
and along the Gulf coast. While there has been plenty of moisture,
the atmosphere just has been optimal today. The 500mb temps are
only around -8C, there is a weak cap between 700mb and 600mb, the
upper level trough has slide slightly east, and there is a 500mb
ridge building. But, even with all that, the sea breezes have been
able to develop, and the NCAPE is over .15, indicating fair
vertical velocity in the area. So, have kept higher PoPs for the
interior through the evening hours.

The rest of the week, and even into the weekend, look to be fairly
similar, with the east coast sea breeze being dominate, and
showers and storms firing up and progressing inland. There could
be some activity over the coastal waters at night, which could
move onshore, especially along the Atlantic coast each night into
the weekend.

By Sunday, the flow will begin to turn more southerly. This will
help to push the convective activity more to the northern
interior, especially in the lake area. However, it will still be
diurnal thunderstorms at this point.

By Monday, an area of low pressure will move north, from over the
Yucatan, into the Gulf. This low will mainly advect deep tropical
moisture into the area. Currently, models are indicating the most
likely scenario is a heavy rain event. It is a little too early to
pin point who will get the brunt of the heavy rain, but models
have begun to indicate it may be up in central Florida. However,
South Florida will still have abundant rain and possibly some
embedded thunderstorms with this activity. So, have kept likely
PoPs in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday.

So, in summary, basically diurnal thunderstorms through the
weekend. By the beginning of the week, an area of heavy showers
and some possible thunderstorms, will move up from the south to
bring a wet start to the week.

.AVIATION...
The east coast sea breeze will continue to push over the interior
areas of South Florida this afternoon while the west coast sea
breeze remains over the west coast metro areas. Therefore, the
VCSH will be removed from the east coast taf sites. KAPF taf site
will continue to have a VCTS from 20Z until 00Z for possible
thunderstorm development.

The winds will be easterly at 5 to 10 knots for the east coast taf
sites for this afternoon before going to light and variable for
tonight. KAPF taf site will remain westerly at 5 to 10 knots until
00Z then go light and variable tonight. The ceiling and vis will
also remain in the VFR conditions through tonight at all of the
taf sites. However, KAPF taf site could fall down into MVFR or
even IFR conditions with any showers or thunderstorms passing
over the taf site late this afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
Showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day through the
weekend. The wind will be generally out of the east through Sunday
morning. By the beginning of the week, the wind will turn more
southerly, and a low pressure system will move into the eastern
Gulf, bringing a large area of tropical moisture to the region.
This area of moisture will translate into heavy showers and
possible thunderstorms for Monday through possibly Wednesday.
Also, the seas, which will be between 1 and 3 feet into the
weekend, and build to 6 to 8 feet in the Gulf and Atlantic waters
by Tuesday.
