SEA BREEZE FRONT DEVELOPING ALONG THE PANHANDLE AND WESTERN BIG BEND COASTS AND SHOULD PROPAGATE SLOWLY INLAND THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. THE SEA BREEZE FRONT ALONG THE TAYLOR AND DIXIE COUNTY COASTS WILL LIKELY GET PINNED NEAR THE COAST. AIDED BY SHORTWAVE MOVING EWD THIS AFTERNOON...THESE FRONTS WILL SERVE AS THE MAIN TRIGGER FOR DEEP MOIST CONVECTION...AND OUR POP INCREASES FROM EAST TO WEST TO MATCH THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE GRADIENT. 15-18Z SHORT TERM MODELS SHOW PWAT CLOSE TO 2 INCHES...-8 LI AND 3767 CAPE SO CANT DISCOUNT ONE OR TWO STRONG STORMS. WITH MID LEVEL DRY AIR...GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL BE THREAT WITH STRONGER CELLS.

(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT) MODELS FORECAST A DEEP LONG WAVE TROUGH TO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN U.S. LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. UNLIKE YESTERDAY HOWEVER...IT IS NOW VERY QUESTIONABLE AS TO WHETHER THIS FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH OUR AREA.
