.UPDATE...
Lingering low clouds continue to erode as of 10am this morning and
should see cloud cover diminish rapidly over the next hour or so,
with partly cloudy skies expected for the remainder of the day. A
slight chance of showers will continue into the overnight hours
over the local waters, as a strengthening low pulls NE away from
the local area. Expect to remain dry across land areas through the
afternoon, due to N/NNW steering flow preventing showers from
drifting onshore. However, will see this flow take on a NE
component this evening and into tonight, so could see a few
showers drift into coastal areas, especially along the Treasure
Coast, during this time. PoPs around 20% developing south of the
Cape by sunrise.
Winds today NNE/NE at around 10 to 15mph, with up to around 15mph
along the coast. Highs this afternoon near normal, in the mid to
upper 70s.

.AVIATION...

to see this deck erode through around 16Z, with VFR conditions
prevailing through the rest of the afternoon. Winds this afternoon
NNE/NE at around 10-15kts, with the strongest winds along the
coast. Will remain mostly dry through the period, but could see a
few showers drift onshore, especially along the Treasure Coast,
towards sunrise tonight.
