...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 912 AM EDT Tue Jun 17 2025

A quiet start across the peninsula. Much drier air continues to
filter into the area. This morning`s sounding showed PWs around
1.3 inches so not a lot of activity is anticipated today. However,
model guidance brings pockets of higher moisture later this
afternoon and evening along the sea breeze. Southeasterly winds
prevail, which will help the delay the development of storms.
Additionally, very warm and humid conditions in place at the
surface so stay hydrated.

No changes were made to the forecast as it remains on track.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 735 AM EDT Tue Jun 17 2025

VFR conditions with east to southeasterly winds prevailing
this morning. Going into the afternoon, rain chances increase
along the sea breeze in some areas as drier air continues to limit
storm coverage. The highest chances remain across SW FL terminals
during the late afternoon and evening hours. Other areas could
have some activity near by but confidence is not high enough at
this time.
