THIS EVENING...15Z CAPE SOUNDING SHOWED CAP AROUND 9500 FT WITH WSW WINDS 15-20 KNOTS IN THE H9-H8 LYR. 18Z MSAS ANALYSIS INDICATES SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR ACROSS CENTRAL COUNTIES WITH SFC DWPTS IN THE MID 60S ACROSS POLK AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES. EXPECT MOST CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENIG INTO MARTIN COUNTY NEAR THE EAST COAST BREEZE AND ALSO ACROSS FAR NRN ZONES WHERE CUMULUS FIELD IS BETTER DEVELOPED IN AREAS OF SLIGHTLY HIGHER SFC DWPTS (UPR 60S/NEAR 70). AFTER MIDNIGHT...MID/UPR LYR TROUGH WILL SWING EAST ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO WITH INCREASING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND STRONGEST LIFT ACROSS THE NRN PENINSULA AS UPPER DIVERGENCE INCREASES. WILL INDICATE A CHANCE FOR A LATE NIGHT SHOWER OR STORM ACROSS N SECTIONS WITH ISOLD ACTIVITY POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SRN COUNTIES LATE. EXPECT INCREASING CLOUDINESS AFTER MIDNIGHT AND LOWS IN THE LWR-MID 70S. TUE-WED...DEEP SWLY FLOW INCREASES AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH SURFACE LOW CENTER SLOWLY MOVING FROM OVER LA EARLY TUES TO MS/AL REGION EARLY WED. PWATS WILL RISE WITH DEEP FETCH OF MOISTURE MOVING UP FROM CARIB/GULF. SWLY FLOW SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO INHIBIT EAST COAST SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT TUES THROUGH MOST IF NOT ALL OF EC FL. DESPITE THIS...DEEP MOISTURE WITH DIVERGENCE ALOFT AHEAD OF UPPER TROF AND H85 FLOW STRONGER THAN NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR SUGGESTS A HIGH COVERAGE OF STORMS TUES WITH FAST MOVING STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS.

CONTINUATION OF DEEP/MOIST SWLY FLOW AND SOME VORT ENERGY PASSING OVER PENINSULA WED SHOULD AGAIN PRODUCE A HIGH COVERAGE OF STORMS AND HAVE NUDGED POPS UP A LITTLE FOR WED. THUR THROUGH THE WEEKEND...LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL BEGIN TO LIFT BACK NORTH LATE IN THE WEEK. TROFFINESS ALOFT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST FRI AND PWATS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP. MAIN CHANGE WILL BE THAT NORTHWARD DRIFT TO RIDGE AXIS SHOULD SHIFT BEST FOCUS AWAY FROM E COAST AND TOWARD INTERIOR SECTIONS WITH SEA BREEZE COLLISIONS OCCURRING OVER THE INTERIOR...SO POPS SLIGHTLY LOWER EAST COAST COUNTIES THAN INTERIOR SECTIONS IN THIS TIME FRAME. && .MARINE...SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE LATE TONIGHT TO 10-15 KNOTS WITH SEAS BUILDING TO AROUND 3 FT. LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE LOCAL WATERS UNTIL LATE WEEK WITH MAIN HAZARD FOR MARINE INTERESTS OFFSHORE MOVING STORMS WITH LIGHTNING/STRONG WINDS.
