...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 929 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2024

Back to a more seasonal diurnal pattern that will likely continue
into next week. Weak steering flow with ample moisture, daytime
heating, and boundary collisions. Primary convective threats
continue to be occasional to frequent cloud-to-ground lightning
strikes, gusty winds, and torrential downpours leading to minor
and nuisance flooding locally. Local rainfall totals also between
1-4 inches in some spots. Boundary collisions and deep moisture
may keep some ISOLD-WDLY SCT convective activity going into mid-
late evening, esp areas not worked over by earlier precip or
locations able to recover and destabilize, else mostly dry over
land overnight with clouds thinning. Light S/SW winds. Overnight
mins in the 70s with conditions humid.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFs)
Issued at 745 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2024

Early initiation to convection across ECFL today, as much of the
activity is winding down, but could see some ISOLD convection into
mid-late evening as moisture is deep and boundary collisions
continue. Mostly dry over ECFL overnight. Expect a similar day on
Mon with SCT-NMRS convection as the ECSB ventures inland with
eventual collision with its west coast counterpart. Light S/SSW
winds this evening/overnight. SW/W winds early on Mon
transitioning to onshore as the sea breeze moves inland. Likely
will add a VCTS to TAFs for Mon aftn, with TEMPO groups following
at a later time as confidence increases.
