...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 915 AM EDT Fri Jun 28 2024

Southwesterly flow, just like previous mornings, is leading to
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms moving on shore
generally from Tampa Bay northward. The morning sounding shows
moisture has increased across the region with PWs of 2.17 inch. Best
chances for rain this morning will continue across northern
counties. But this afternoon, as the sea breeze moves inland, rain
and storm chances will expand in coverage away from the coast.
Afternoon highs the next few days will top out in the lower to mid
90s, but heat index values will reach into the 100-105 range. Be
sure to stay hydrated and take proper precautions if you`re out in
the sun this weekend.
