.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 138 AM EDT Fri May 3 2024

VFR conditions are expected through the period. Easterly winds
prevail becoming westerly behind the afternoon sea breeze in most
terminals, except FMY/RSW/LAL. WInds become breezy through the day
but should decrease through the evening. Slightly drier
conditions should limit shower and storms activity but there is a
non-zero chance of isolated showers near southern TAF sites later
in the afternoon. Otherwise, no concerns.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 702 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024

A couple showers and storms are beginning to fire up along the
sea breeze boundary. These showers and storms will likely stay
isolated along the coast. Otherwise, warm and moist conditions
continue. With lower rain chances tomorrow, widespread
temperatures in the 90s are expected. Remember to stay hydrated
and take frequent breaks when doing any outdoor activities.
