(12Z TAFs) Issued at 1103 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024 Weakening thunderstorm outflow boundary will continue moving southeast into the Greater Orlando area over the next few hours. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible along and ahead of the boundary. Some MVFR Ceilings will persist across this area as well before becoming scattered this afternoon. Will keep vicinity thunder in the MCO terminal through 01z given the lingering boundary, moisture and instability. Can`t rule out a strong or severe storm but not confident enough on timing and exact location of where convection could redevelop this afternoon. Orlando is on the border of the SPC Slight Risk area. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1029 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024 Not much has changed from the previous discussion. An MCS moved south this morning from North Florida which threatened the northern portions of the CWA, but the majority of the convection with near severe winds remained north of the the area and is currently pushing off the east coast of North Florida. While the main threat for severe weather isn`t expected until midday, we are continuing to monitor outflow boundaries within the unstable air mass which could trigger thunderstorm development a tad earlier than expected. && .MARINE... Issued at 425 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024 Today-Tonight...An approaching cold front from the north will keep ridge axis of high pressure over the west Atlantic south of the waters today, with the front then pushing southward through the area tonight. W/SW winds up to 10-15 knots become S/SW into the afternoon, with wind speeds continuing to increase up to 15-20 knots offshore out of the W/SW into tonight.

A cold front will settle into South Florida on Saturday, with high pressure in its wake that will push off into the Atlantic by Monday.
