.UPDATE...
Issued at 929 PM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024

Current KMLB radar imagery shows mostly dry weather over east
central Florida with a few light isolated showers/sprinkles over
the local Atlantic, as well as Volusia county. Current
temperatures are in the upper 70s to low 80s with dew points in
the low to upper 70s. Analysis charts show a mid level trough to
the northeast over the eastern CONUS with a mid/upper level ridge
building over the central CONUS. Isolated to scattered showers and
isolated lightning storms are forecast overnight over the local
Atlantic. A slight chances exists for isolated showers and
lightning storms (20%) to move onshore along the Martin county
coast into Monday morning. South to southwest winds are forecast
to become light and variable overnight with mostly clear to partly
cloudy skies. Overnight low temperatures are forecast to drop
into the low to upper 70s.

.MARINE...
Issued at 239 PM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024

A ridge of high pressure will remain just north of the local
Atlantic waters, with predominant south to southeast breezes
increasing 10-12 KT each day behind the sea breeze. Winds will
turn offshore around 5 KT near the coast in the overnight hours.
Seas generally 2 FT or less through Tuesday, then 2-3 FT on
Wednesday & Thursday. Scattered showers and isolated lightning
storms are possible each day, though there will be a lot of dry
time. Offshore-moving storms appear unlikely. Intracoastal and
inshore boaters will find a light to moderate chop each afternoon.
