UPDATE.
Current . Sea breeze collision began over the last hour across NW Volusia/NE Lake Counties, with the two boundaries now "zippering" south toward Lake Apopka and the Four Corners region. Clouds have been increasing near/NW of I-4 in association with this collision, with isolated showers breaking out a little west of the Kissimmee River basin. Otherwise, late afternoon clouds and a few showers which had been near/south of Martin County have collapsed with skies rapidly clearing there.
Remainder of tonight . Short range model guidance insists that more showers will develop over the NW CWA, although mesoscale guidance appears to be a tad too far east, and perhaps a little ambitious with coverage as well. The inherited forecast pretty much accounts for the ongoing redevelopment spread across the NW CWA through late tonight, so changes to the grids/ZFP will be minimal. Increasing clouds north, mostly clear to partly cloudy south. Lows M-U60s.
AVIATION. Prevailing VFR. Given the model guidance is pretty much on track with shower development, will probably need to AMD to add VCSH for ISM-MCO-SFB-DAB, and possibly LEE as well.
MARINE. Latest buoy obs show SE winds have dropped of to 13-15kt with seas 3-4ft near shore and up to 5ft well offshore. Given that winds and seas didn't have a significant nocturnal increase last night, feel we can drop the Cautionary Statement through the remainder of the overnight, with wind speeds remaining around 15kt or a bit less.

PREV DISCUSSION. (Issued 348 PM EST Sun Feb 28 2021)
Mon . By Mon morning, moisture will be to our north as the ridge shifts southward providing to another dry and warm day that could see another round of breaking record temperatures. This in part due to the SW wind flow. Temps will climb to the mid 80s along the coast and upper 80s across the interior. Warm lows and high temperature records are listed below.
Tuesday-Wednesday . Mid level ridge centered over the western Caribbean begins to erode late Monday and early Tuesday with the approach of a deepening trough and associated cold front. As this system nears, the surface high axis over south FL slides eastward away from the area with a push of a frontal boundary into the local area early Tuesday. PoPs will gradually increase beginning late Monday ahead of this system, as high res models pick up on a band of marine/coastal showers after sunset and towards midnight. Available moisture will continue to increase through the early morning, with PWATs reaching 1.30" north of Orlando Tuesday. This coincides with most favorable shower and storm setup, with the slow moving front expected to stall over the area late in the day. PoPs range from 30- 40% from Orlando/Cape Canaveral northward, tapering to less than 20% for the Treasure Coast to Lake Okeechobee. Ahead of the boundary, temperatures will rise to the mid 80s south of Melbourne, with areas north in the mid to upper 70s or near 80 degrees.
Overnight Tuesday, the stalled boundary shifts back northward as a warm front, keeping highest rain chances to the northern forecast area, but then pushing through the area on Wednesday. Models in good agreement with a surface low and bullseye of heavy rain developing over the FL Big Bend and SW Georgia at this time, shifting eastward to the Atlantic through mid week. Further refinements of rainfall coverage may be necessary depending on the evolution of this system, with a more southerly solution increasing rain chances Wednesday beyond the current 30-40%. A chance for lightning storms cannot be ruled out on Wednesday mainly north of Orlando, as a second stronger front drags behind the offshore moving low. Onshore winds late Tuesday veer southwest by Wednesday afternoon, with afternoon highs varying from the low 80s to the north and upper 80s (near records) for the Treasure Coast. Low temps remain well above average through mid week in the low to mid 60s.
Thursday-Saturday . (modified previous) Dry conditions are expected to continue through Friday, with northerly flow behind the front veering easterly late Friday afternoon into Friday evening. Looking into next weekend, models suggest increasing rain chances as another front passes through east central Florida. Slightly wetter trends for Saturday, as an upper disturbance shifts southeast from TX to the central Gulf Coast, with upper level energy spreading across the FL peninsula. Included a mention of thunder this weekend, however models have become less aggressive in the system evolution. For now, will keep PoPs at 40-50% on Saturday. Post-frontal air will lead to the return of near normal temperatures to finish out the week, with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the 50s.
AVIATION. VFR prevailing for most of the terminals through Mon. Brief reduction to the cigs are possible across the interior late overnight into Mon morning affecting KLEE and perhaps KSFB as well as brief showers along the I-4 corridor. Otherwise, gusty winds this afternoon will decrease and range 5-10 kt tonight and shift from the SW in the morning.
MARINE. Tonight-Mon night . As a high pressure over the western Atlantic shifts south, its western ridge will slightly shift from east central FL to south FL tonight and tomorrow and winds will shift from the south to the southwest by Mon afternoon. Caution for small boaters was highlighted for tonight across some of the local waters as winds of 15-20 kt are still expected, becoming lighter on Mon. Seas should remain below 5 ft through Mon night.
Tuesday-Thursday . A frontal boundary will stall over the local waters on Tuesday, lift back north as a warm front overnight, with a stronger, secondary front pushing through on Wednesday. These features will offer a varying wind forecast through mid week, beginning onshore 15-20 knots Tuesday, veering southerly 10-15 knots prior to daybreak, quickly shifting west/northwest up to 20 knots on Wednesday. Seas of 3-4 ft will increase up to 6-8 ft in the offshore waters north of Sebastian Inlet by Wednesday morning then diminishing to 4-6 ft over all waters by the afternoon. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed for a portion of forecast zones.
