...New UPDATE, AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 752 PM EDT Sun Jul 7 2024

Early evening water vapor satellite imagery is showing a swath of
dry air aloft pushing into central and southern portions of the
Florida Peninsula from the Atlantic. Similar to yesterday, this
kept much of the area rain free today, with the majority of
convection occurring along and west of Interstate 75. Isolated
showers and a few storms are continuing to linger along sea breeze
and outflow boundaries, with mainly rain free conditions expected
to return in the next couple of hours.

Rain chances were trimmed back for the next few hours to keep up
with radar trends. No other changes are planned for the evening
update.

TAF sites, but are expected to dissipate by around 01-02z. Mainly
VFR conditions will then hold through Monday morning. Scattered to
numerous showers and storms will shift onshore and continue to
develop during the late morning and early afternoon hours,
impacting area terminals at times through the early evening.
