.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 331 AM EDT Fri Jun 14 2024

Other than a few showers currently offshore radar is currently
quite across the inland areas. CAMs still indicate showers and
thunderstorms are expected to develop inland late morning into the
afternoon. However it should be noted that the HRRR is the driest
of the guidance with initiation later in the day. The heaviest
rainfall is still forecast Charlotte and Lee Counties and will
keep current Flood Watch going.

Over the next couple days, a transition will take place as the
trough axis is replaced by an upper-level ridge. As this happens,
winds will shift from a WSW to eventually an ESE pattern, with more
typical diurnal convection settling in for at least a few days. Some
drier air could even make this convection more isolated in nature,
at least initially. Overall, though, more typical summertime
conditions return and last into next week.
