UPDATE
 
 
ISSUED AT 1011 AM EST SUN DEC 15 2024  
 
THE DAY IS OFF TO A QUIET START. MOISTURE HAS CONTINUED TO  
INCREASE SLIGHTLY FROM LAST NIGHT, WITH THE BULK OF THAT MOISTURE  
IN THE 1000MB TO 700MB LAYER. WHILE MOSTLY SUNNY RIGHT NOW, THE  
EXPECTATION IS THAT CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE INTO THE AFTERNOON,  
ESPECIALLY AS DAYTIME HEATING HELPS TO INCREASE LOW-LEVEL  
INSTABILITY. THERE COULD ALSO STILL BE SPRINKLES, PERHAPS EVEN A  
SHOWER, WORKING INTO THE AREA AS THE DAY CONTINUES. THUS, KEEPING  
MENTION IN THE FORECAST.  
 
OVERALL, THOUGH, THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK. PERSISTENCE IS THE  
THEME FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, SO NOT MUCH CHANGE IS ANTICIPATED FOR  
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  
 

 
   
AVIATION
 
 
(18Z TAFS)  
ISSUED AT 1251 PM EST SUN DEC 15 2024  
 
WITH AN ENE FLOW, LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE, AND WEAK SURFACE-BASED  
INSTABILITY, CLOUDS AND SOME LIGHT SHOWERS/SPRINKLES ARE POPPING  
ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND SWFL. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE  
AFTERNOON WITH MINIMAL IMPACT. HOWEVER, THERE IS AROUND A 10%  
PROBABILITY FOR MVFR CIGS TO OCCUR WITH THESE QUICK PASSING SHOWERS  
IF THEY MOVE OVER A TERMINAL. WEATHER CONDITIONS SHOULD QUIET  
OVERNIGHT AS THE ATMOSPHERE STABILIZES AND SOME DRYING OCCURS.  
HOWEVER, MOISTURE REBOUNDS TOMORROW, SUGGESTING A SIMILAR SETUP  
COULD OCCUR AGAIN, AND LIKELY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF  
THE WEEK.
