(06Z TAFS) Issued at 145 AM EDT Sun Jun 23 2024 Thunderstorms are the primary aviation hazard. The expectation is for convective development to begin along sea breeze boundaries, becoming more scattered to numerous as the east coast sea breeze makes its way to the west coast and eventually collides with the west coast sea breeze. With these complex boundary interactions, most TAF sites have a 5 to 7 hour window where thunderstorms could be in the vicinity of airports. During these windows, there is likely to be a 1 to 2 hour window when thunderstorms may be directly over the field. However, that timing is too uncertain to try and include a TEMPO. Nevertheless, a brief period of gusty winds and potentially IFR conditions are possible in these time-frames. With the rainy season getting well underway, thunderstorms will continue to be the main hazard each day, shifting perhaps a little earlier in the day as a WSW flow takes hold during the work week.
