New UPDATE
UPDATE
Issued at 949 AM EDT Sat Sep 23 2023
It has been a beautiful morning across the Sunshine State with lows ranging from the upper 50s to low 70s and below 70 degrees dewpoints. This morning's sounding showed a 1.19in. PW with a fairly deep column of dry air throughout the atmosphere. As the day progresses, moisture will try to slowly creep into the area, which combined with daytime heating could support a shower or two across southern portions of our CWA. Afternoon highs climb up to the upper 80s but dry conditions will make the warm temps feel less uncomfortable. Fairly light east to northeasterly winds prevail during this time.
No changes were made to the forecast, as it remains on track.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 737 AM EDT Sat Sep 23 2023
VFR conditions prevail through the period across terminals as dry air remains in place. Light east to northeasterly winds dominate with a few coastal sites experiencing the sea breeze. Moisture gradually returns to the area towards the late afternoon, which could support a light shower or two near southern TAF sites, but confidence at this time is not high enough to include it in the forecast.
