.UPDATE...
Issued at 958 PM EDT Tue May 21 2024

Mostly quiet over ECFL this evening, with the KMLB radar showing
some showers and lightning storms across the western portion of the
peninsula where the east and west coast sea breeze collision is
forecast to occur. Satellite and local observation show mostly clear
skies with a few lower and mid level clouds approaching the coast
from the Atlantic. Mostly dry conditions are forecast tonight, with
isolated showers (PoP 20 percent) possible along the coast of the
Treasure Coast, mainly after midnight. Northeast winds of 5-10 mph
this evening will become light overnight with mostly clear skies
prevailing. Models continue to not be overly impressed with fog
potential for tonight, so have kept fog out of the forecast.
However, settling of smoke from any active or smoldering brush fires
may also cause visibility concerns along area roadways, especially
near the large "Sandy Drain" wildfire. Forecast remains in track
with only minor adjustments to the cloud cover overnight.
