.UPDATE...
Not too many changes to the forecast tonight, other than keeping
some higher chance end PoPs for at least the first part of
tonight. Numerous thunderstorms across central and southern
Florida this evening, and with generally southerly flow, activity
should continue moving northward into northeast Florida over the
next several hours. Have hung on to scattered storms through the
very early morning hours across Florida and the eastern third of
southeastern Georgia counties. There may be a few storms capable
of gusty winds, but for the most part, locally heavy rainfall will
be the primary concern, especially if training continues south of
a Gilchrist County to St. Johns County line. Guidance has been
quiet regarding fog, but there will probably be a few places
early Saturday morning that see some patchy fog.

&&

.AVIATION...
Scattered thunderstorms continue to move northward through
central Florida. Have timed some convection to a few terminals
(KSSI & KGNV), but confidence is low overall in convective
coverage overnight. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected with
just some patchy MVFR near sunrise, especially in locations that
had a lot of precip today. Winds will be generally out of the
south to southwest and less than 8 knots outside of convection.
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected again tomorrow
across northeast Florida and southeast Georgia.

&&

.MARINE...
South to Southwest flow expected through tonight with winds
peaking right around 15 kt...possibly higher for a brief time
offshore. Seas up to 2-5 ft and for most part looks like dominant
seas will be in the swell spectrum (roughly 9 to 12 seconds).
Latest guidance suggests very long periods associated with
tropical cyclone Irma may begin Mon night or Tue with periods in
the 15-17 second range. Main impacts in the next 24-36 hours will
be offshore moving storms. Weak frontal boundary/wind shift will
be possible Saturday disrupting the wind field to more variable
wind. Winds turns west to northwest Sunday due to trofiness in
the area...but may turn back to southeast with the sea breeze. Sfc
ridge will work north of the area early next week... providing
for more east to southeast flow.

Rip Currents: Moderate risk may continue tomorrow due to easterly
swells for northeast Florida. Lower risk of rip currents is
expected for southeast Georgia waters. Increased surf and rip
current risk anticipated next week.
