.UPDATE...
Issued at 1000 PM EDT Fri Jul 5 2024

The east coast sea breeze was not as active across ECFL today as
previous day, with only a few showers developing along the sea
breeze across the interior this afternoon. The sea breeze
collision occurred across western FL, around the Sumter and Polk
county area, sparking scattered to numerous showers and lightning
storms across Western Florida. Temperatures as of 10 PM are in
the upper 70s to low 80s with dew points in the low to mid 70s. A
couple showers in Sumter county are moving back into Lake county
this evening, but any lingering activity is expected to dissipate
or move out of the local area over the next hour or two.
Otherwise, mostly dry conditions expected over land areas tonight.
Isolated lightning storms will be possible across the far
offshore waters overnight, mainly south of Cape Canaveral. Light
and variable winds forecast through tonight and into Saturday
morning. Temperatures tonight will be in the low to mid 70s.

VFR conditions through the TAF period. Light and variable winds
overnight and into Saturday. The east coast sea breeze is forecast
to form and push inland in the afternoon, veering the winds
easterly and increasing the winds to 5-10 KT behind the sea
breeze. The sea breeze collision is expected to happen a little
farther east then the last couple days, over our interior sites.
Have included VCTS starting at 20Z for all our inland terminals,
with VCSH at 20Z for DAB. Will likely add TEMPOs for interior
sites in later packages. Winds will become light and variable once
again on Saturday night.
