(12Z TAFS) VFR conditions continue this morning and are expected outside of convection later today and tonight. Best storm chances for this afternoon are for southwest Florida sites and KLAL and have included TEMPO groups for these terminals. Elsewhere, a brief shower could pop up near Tampa Bay early in the afternoon, then most activity shifts east of those sites. For the overnight period, it looks like some showers and storms will again form back toward the coast, so have included VCTS toward the end of the current forecast period. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 356 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025 We are still seeing some showers and isolated thunderstorms along the coast in Sarasota and Manatee Counties drifting north. These storms are weakening and should be done in the next couple of hours. However, the strong ridging to our north that has caused the widespread showers along the west coast of Florida each evening and overnight hours will continue for the next 7 days. This is because the ridge is giving us a southeasterly flow causing storms to form each day inland before drifting to the west coast of Florida into the evening and overnight hours. The only subtle change is PWs go down closer to 1.5 Tuesday through Thursday which could bring shower chances down slightly. && .MARINE... Issued at 356 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025 South to southeast flow around 5 to 10 knots will continue through Thursday. This southeasterly flow will keep afternoon thunderstorm activity overland before drifting towards the West Coast and out into the Gulf each evening and overnight. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 356 AM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Tropical moisture will continue to be overhead with no major fire weather danger expected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
