.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 130 AM EDT Sun Jun 16 2024

VFR conditions through the TAF period. Light and variable winds
will become northeast by early morning and increase to 5-10 KT.
Due to deep easterly flow and drier air filtering in, SHRA/TSRA
looks to favor west Florida. Thus, have maintained VCSH for
interior sites starting at 20Z for any westward moving convection
that forms along the sea breeze. Northeast winds will become light
after sun down.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1000 PM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024

Convection was focused across northern and central sections today
from Brevard and Osceola northward. Boundary collisions produced
the heaviest rains stretching from north Brevard, Orange and into
central Lake county. The highest rainfall totals occurred near
Windemere where a handful of rain gages reported 4-5 inches. Wind
fields were weak and lapse rates were unimpressive so downburst
winds were not very strong. Peak wind gust was 40 mph at LEE.
Only isolated showers remain over the interior and these will
diminish soon resulting in a quiet overnight.
