THE UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN PRETTY MUCH IN PLACE WHILE THE UPPER TROF PUSHES MAINLY EAST AND DEEPER INTO THE ATLANTIC ALLOWING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO SLOWLY DROP INTO CENTRAL FL BY SAT AND THEN SLOWLY LIFT BACK OUT SUNDAY. PWATS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN 2 TO 2.3" THROUGH SUNDAY AND THEN FALL BACK TO AROUND 2" NEXT WEEK... WHICH IS STILL VERY MOIST AND ABOVE AVERAGE.
