.NEAR TERM /Today/...As the Hires Models were indicating,
convective coverage has greatly decreased across our area. There
is a new cluster of showers and storms out over the Gulf generally
moving northwestward, and will possibly affect coastal sections
of the extreme western Florida panhandle and coastal Alabama
later this afternoon. Did lower PoPs slightly for today, but left
chance to low end likely PoPs over the southwestern zones to
account for this, and also likely Pops up over our northwestern
zones where most of the still lingering showers and storms are
located. Otherwise, no changes. /12
