.UPDATE...
Issued at 813 PM EDT Wed Jul 17 2024

Most of the convection over SW portions of the state should

Storm chances increase later in the morning near the coast and
push inland along the sea breeze. Drier air should limit coverage
especially early. Temperatures warm up a few degrees in the
afternoon with highs in the mid areas at most locations.

No changes were made to the forecast as it remains on track.
