UPDATE
Issued at 919 AM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024
High pressure ridging from the north has helped usher in some drier air into the region. The 12Z morning sounding and water vapor imagery is showing this dry air very well with a PWAT down to 1.39 inches. Visible satellite imagery and surface observations are showing mostly sunny skies across the area. With the drier air in place, rain chances will be on the lower side today with only about a 30-40 percent chance of showers and storms this afternoon.
Seasonal temps expected to top out in the low 90's. No changes needed to current forecast.
There has been no significant changes in the tropics over the past 24 hours. There continues to be 3 areas of interest that the National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on. 2 of these areas are in the central Atlantic and have a 20 percent chance of development over the next 7 days. The other area that models are hinting at development will be in the northwest Caribbean and has a 40 percent chance of development over the next 7 days. None of these systems pose an immediate threat to Florida, but the one in the Caribbean will be closely monitored over the coming week.
