.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1254 PM EDT Sat Oct 15 2022
Sufficient deep layer moisture and instability persists south of
the I-4 corridor for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
the remainder of the afternoon. Atmosphere marginally conducive
for an isolated strong storm capable of producing damaging wind
gusts and hail. Best chance would be from the Tampa area and south
along the coastal counties where there could be enhanced low
level convergence if a weak sea breeze develops.

Decreasing cloudiness tonight as surface high pressure over the
southeast U.S. gradually builds over the Florida peninsula through
Sunday with increasingly stable air advecting over the region. The
area of high pressure will push east of the region on Monday as a
cold front approaches the region. Boundary layer winds will shift
to the south and southwest which will allow a brief return of
some deeper moisture. The cold front will push across the Florida
peninsula on Tuesday with an increasing chance of showers and
possibly a thunderstorm.

Modified Canadian high pressure will build over the forecast area
behind the front Tuesday night and Wednesday with much cooler
drier air advecting across the region for mid/late in the week.
Highs on Wednesday will generally be in the low to mid 70s with
overnight lows in the lower to mid 40s extreme northern nature
coast...lower to mid 50s central...and upper 50s to around 60
south. Gradually warming temperatures Thursday and Friday, but
still very pleasant conditions with low relative humidity.
