(06Z TAFS) Issued at 119 AM EDT Thu Jul 18 2024 A light and variable background flow is favored once again today, meaning that sea breeze circulations will be dominant during the afternoon and evening. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop along these sea breeze boundaries, with some of the highest potential for thunderstorms at coastal WCFL and SWFL terminals this afternoon. TEMPOs have been added for windows when impacts are most likely at each terminal. A short window for IFR is possible, along with gusty winds, before quieting once more overnight. A slightly more ESE flow is expected for the next few days to come, keeping higher chances for thunderstorm impacts in play during subsequent afternoons through the weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
