Issued at 741 PM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025 While deep moisture to the south of a stalled frontal boundary allowed storms to develop over the eastern Gulf and stream across the Nature Coast counties, a pocket of drier air kept the rest of the area largely rain free today. Overnight, isolated to scattered showers are expected to continue over the eastern Gulf, and could shift into the coast at times, though otherwise rain free and quiet weather is forecast to hold through the early morning hours. Rain chances have been lowered for the next couple of hours across central and southern counties in the forecast area to keep up with radar trends. Otherwise, the forecast looks on track with moisture and rain chances increasing through the day on Sunday. && .AVIATION...
