.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 241 AM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024


Forecast set on repeat as conditions remain similar to previous
days. Ridge axis situated over Florida holds us in the easterly flow
through through the beginning of the week. Just like yesterday, this
flow favors showers and storms developing along sea breeze and
outflow collisions, which will then move, rather slowly, inland. Due
to the slow moving nature of showers, isolated, urban street
flooding may be an issue. Remember if you come across a flooded
street the best option is to turn around, don`t drown.

The next feature to shift us out of the current pattern arrives
later in the week as a trough dips down and pushes the ridge axis a
bit more south and west, bringing back a more SW flow. This flow
will favor showers/storms over coastal waters in the morning,
pushing on shore and inland as the day goes on.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 241 AM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024

VFR conditions to begin the day. Showers and storms expected by
around 17-20Z. These could temporarily impact terminals as they
slowly move through. Otherwise, flow remains light and variable
through most of the morning before sea breeze development pushes it
onshore.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 241 AM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024


 A few showers and storms already developing along the sea breeze
near the nature coast should remain just off the coast. This
afternoon however, more showers and storms will develop along sea
breeze and outflow boundaries. Some of these may drift over or
near the coastal waters. Frequent lightning and strong wind gusts
could be possible.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 241 AM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024

No major fire weather concerns through the period as ample moisture
remains. Showers and storms are expected this afternoon.
