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.

&& .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 127 AM EDT Fri Jun 14 2024 Showers are beginning to develop across central terminals, primarily PGD and SRQ. This trend will continue with a further development of showers and the return of high IFR to low MVFR ceilings across all terminals through the early morning hours. After the mid morning, daytime heating combined with ample moisture should allow thunderstorms to begin developing, especially across SWFL. Convection is anticipated to be on and off through the afternoon and early evening hours. However, some guidance tries to keep it over southern terminals into the night. Vicinity showers were kept into the late night hours in line with this guidance and forecaster thinking. MVFR/IFR conditions along with erratic and gusty winds are possible near storms. South to southwest winds prevail. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
