New UPDATE

UPDATE
Issued at 757 PM EDT Fri May 17 2024

A fairly quiet late afternoon and early evening across our CWA after a very active morning. This trend should continue overnight and into the early morning, at least for most of the area. Another round of storms is possible as a boundary slowly slides over the state. There is lots of uncertainty with the timing of the showers and storms, as well as how far south will the activity make. At this time, the highest chances should be along the northern portions of the Nature Coast and interior locations of the Peninsula. However, a shower or two can't be ruled out for areas along the I-4 corridor and north. In addition, breezy south to southwest winds are anticipated, which may help very hot afternoon highs feel a little bit less miserable as dewpoints remain in the 70s.

Otherwise, no changes were made to the forecast as it remains on track.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 729 PM EDT Fri May 17 2024

VFR conditions should prevail through most of the period across terminals. However, there is a non-zero chance for MFVR ceilings that could develop during the early morning hours due to the potential for patchy fog. If this materializes, it should dissipate after sunrise. Southerly winds are expected to gradually become breezy into the afternoon hours and shifting from the southwest. Wind speeds decrease towards the end of the period.
