.DISCUSSION...
Light rain showers are diminishing across east central Florida
after an active day of thunderstorms. Due to the scattered nature
of storms, some locations saw little to no rain, while other
spots picked up 2-3 inches with local amounts over 4 inches.
Tonight will remain dry for most of the area, though isolated
showers and lightning storms are possible over the Atlantic
waters. Some of this activity could approach the coast toward
sunrise Saturday, with rain chances quickly increasing through the
daytime hours.
Partly cloudy conditions with temperatures in the low to mid 70s
are forecast overnight. Temperatures along the coast will stay a
few degrees warmer in the upper 70s.

Activity is beginning to diminish with scattered debris
rain/showers still ongoing, mainly from DAB-SFB-MCO-ISM, with
activity pushing eastward. Included VCSH from MLB to ISM northward
until 06Z. Light S/SE winds overnight will increase to around
5-10 KT by mid-morning before increasing to around 10-12KT along
the coast as the ECSB forms. Similar pattern convection wise
tomorrow, VCTS everywhere starting around 18Z, going through the
afternoon and early evening hours. No TEMPOs at this time, but
