MAY AGAIN SEE SOME PATCHY LATE NIGHT FOG DEVELOP IN SOME AREAS BUT OVERALL COVERAGE EXPECTED TO BE TOO LOW TO WARRANT A MENTION IN THE GRIDS/ZONES. MODELS THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY THE NAM CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A DRIER SUBSIDENT AIR MASS MOVING INTO THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE EAST AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE TO THE NORTH AND A SLOWLY WEST NORTHWESTWARD MOVING TUTT LOW OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC DURING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE COMBINATION OF THE DRIER AIR (PWS DECREASING TO 1.2-1.4) AND SUBSIDENCE SHOULD LIMIT RAIN CHANCES (POPS 20% ON THURSDAY AND 20-30% ON FRIDAY) ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BOTH DAYS...WITH THE BEST COVERAGE ALBEIT LOW LIKELY TO BE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE WEST COASTAL ZONES FROM PASCO COUNTY SOUTH LATE EACH AFTERNOON AS THE MODERATE EAST TO NORTHEAST WIND FLOW KEEPS THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE PINNED TO THE COAST.

DGEX IS MORE AGGRESSIVE IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT SHOWING A CLOSED LOW BUT KEEPS IT NORTHEAST OF FLORIDA AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. EARLY IN THE WEEKEND. IT IS STILL EARLY TO MAKE A CONCRETE DECISION IN TERMS OF WHICH MODEL TO FOLLOW. CURRENT POPS AND WEATHER GRIDS WILL BE KEPT UNTIL FUTURE MODEL RUNS SHOW BETTER CONSENSUS. IN GENERAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL FORM EACH AFTERNOON AS SEA BREEZES CONVERGE ALONG THE COASTLINE AND MAY PENETRATE FURTHER INLAND DEPENDING ON HOW WEAK THE SYNOPTIC EASTERLY FLOW BECOMES.
