.DISCUSSION...
Showers are in place ahead of the front this morning across the
northern and central coastal waters and up across the Nature
Coast. Showers with the actual front are still back in the FL
panhandle. Rain chances will remain mainly across the northern
half of the area through the early afternoon, then spread south
through the evening and overnight hours as the front pushes
through the area. Colder and drier air moves in for Monday through
Wednesday, with some freezing temperatures and feels-like
temperatures possible Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Current
forecast is on track with all of this and have no updates planned.

&&

.AVIATION...
SE/S flow this morning will be turning to the SW for later this
morning and afternoon. Winds then turn to the NNW behind the front
with some showers possible. MVFR to IFR conditions will be
possible with any showers and low ceilings will be likely for a
few hours with the frontal passage.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas will be increasing behind the front from the NNW,
with SCA conditions possible across the northern and central
offshore waters and SCEC conditions possible elsewhere for this
evening through Monday morning. Conditions will briefly subside,
then increase to SCA Tuesday and Wednesday before subsiding.
