...New UPDATE, AVIATION, MARINE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 854 AM EDT Wed Jun 26 2024

High pressure continues to ridge south of Florida keeping a
predominant light westerly flow across the region. This is promoting
isolated showers and storms to develop over the eastern gulf waters
and move slowly eastward over the coastal counties this morning.
These showers and storms will spread farther inland during the
afternoon and evening hours and will be slow moving and may cause
some localized flooding in heavier downpours. Max temps will top out
in the low to mid 90`s with heat indices reaching 100-105 degrees.
No changes needed to current forecast.
