.DISCUSSION...

Surface high pressure centered over Florida, the Bahamas, and the
eastern Gulf will remain place with light to moderate southerly to southwesterly
winds through the forecast. A weak inversion may be in place
tonight at around 500 feet, with a bit stronger one near 2000

range through early next week. There will be potential for afternoon
thunderstorms each day beginning on Monday, but areal coverage of
storms is likely to be rather limited each day.
