...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 821 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2024

Showers and storms are expected to dissipate while moving offshore
over next hour or two. Weather system over the Gulf/southwest of
the Peninsula continue to push moisture across the region through
the weekend, which should increase rain chances in some areas with
prevailing southeasterly flow in place. This set up combined with
the afternoon sea breeze supports convection mainly along the
interior and I-75 corridor during the late afternoon. Then,
activity pushing offshore during the evening hours. In addition,
the increase in moisture will make afternoon highs feel very
uncomfortable, so keep this in mind while making plans this
weekend.

Otherwise, no changes were made to the forecast as it remains on
track.
