Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
328 PM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm, but humid weather continues across the Florida peninsula,
with scattered showers and perhaps isolated thunderstorms expected
across SWFL tomorrow. A pattern change is getting underway,
however, with numerous to widespread shower and thunderstorm
activity expected by mid-week. This should yield significant
improvement to dry soil conditions. Even as dry weather continues,
concerns for red flag conditions are low with ample RH values.
