SCATTERED CU JUST NOW BEGINNING TO DEVELOP WITH HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT KEEPING CLOUDS QUITE SUPPRESSED. WITH SEA BREEZE JUST BEGINNING TO DEVELOP AND CAPES RUNNING AOA 3000J/KG STILL EXPECT A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP LATER IN THE AFTERNOON... MAINLY OVER INLAND FLORIDA ZONES WHERE SEA BREEZE FORCING WILL BE STRONGEST. FORECAST...H5 HIGH FCST TO SHIFT SLOWLY EAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE ALSO FCST TO BUILD OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD. AS A RESULT...FLOW ON TUESDAY WILL BE EASTERLY WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN FROM TODAYS NEAR RECORD HIGHS. SUCH A FLOW SHOULD KEEP MOST CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY CONFINED TO WEST COAST SO WILL GO WITH HIGHEST POPS OVER FAR WESTERN COUNTIES WITH LOWEST POPS ALONG EAST COAST. FOR WEDNESDAY...MESOETA SHOWS PWATS DROPPING BELOW 1.2 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF CWA WHICH SHOULD PRECLUDE ANYTHING BUT A FEW ISOLATED STORMS. BEYOND WEDNESDAY...WILL KEEP AN EYE ON SOUTHERN GULF AS AVN AND CANADIAN ARE PERSISTENT IN DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE BY WEDNESDAY. THE WAY IT LOOKS NOW EVEN IF SOME DEVELOPMENT DOES DEVELOP ITS MOVEMENT WILL BE QUITE SLOW WITH NO IMPACT ON THE FORECAST THROUGH THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK. OTHERWISE...MODELS DISAGREE ON EVOLUTION OF UPPER PATTERN. AVN/MRF WANTS TO DIG TROUGH INTO SOUTHEAST BY SATURDAY WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE AREA WHICH WOULD ENHANCE AFTN CONVECTION. MOST OTHER GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A MUCH WEAKER AND MORE PROGRESSIVE TROUGH WHICH BYPASSES AREA WITH A RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY THE WEEKEND. WILL LEAN TOWARDS THE LATTER SOLUTION WITH POPS BELOW MRF GUIDANCE AND TEMPS A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE. MARINE...NO HIGHLIGHTS. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO PREVIOUS.
