.DISCUSSION...
-- Changed Discussion --
Issued at 159 PM EDT Sat Jun 22 2024

Storms are already starting to develop over the area mainly inland
however these showers are expected to slowly move toward the coast
by the late afternoon and evening hours. Currently we are under very
neutral flow which will stick around until at least mid week.
What does this mean for us? Well looking at our seabreeze regimes
this puts us in regime one which favors storms closer to the
western half of the state. However, this flow regime also bring
concerns for localized flooding. This is due to the slow motions
of these storms bringing the potential for high rainfall totals
wherever these storms decide to develop.


By Thursday and Friday the ridge looks to push a little farther
south. This will shift our winds more southwest which typically
brings most of the shower activity to the east coast of Florida. The
best chance for our area to see rain will be located in Southwest
Florida.
