AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 134 AM EDT Thu Sep 12 2024

IFR to MVFR ceilings are expected over the next several hours as stalled boundary engages with ample moisture available across the peninsula. Clouds should gradually dissipate through the morning hours allowing daytime heating to destabilize the atmosphere. As a result, chances for showers and storms increase during the afternoon following the sea breeze. The highest chances should be over interior areas, but terminals along the coast could see some scattered activity as storms develop. Light east to southeasterly winds prevail become onshore in the afternoon and shift back through the evening.

UPDATE
Issued at 821 PM EDT Wed Sep 11 2024

Recent radar imagery shows scattered to numerous showers and storms across interior areas as deep moisture interacts with the persistent stationary frontal boundary across central FL and additional outflow boundaries. This activity should continue to weaken and decrease in coverage over the next couple of hours as the atmosphere stabilizes with dry conditions generally expected after midnight, though models show an increase in low stratus developing towards Thursday morning given the moist low levels in place. Otherwise, overnight lows will be in the upper 70s along coastal areas and mid 70s elsewhere.
