LOOKING AT SOME VERY SIMILIAR CONDITIONS TO YESTERDAY WITH DRY AIR
TO THE NORTH AND SLIGHTLY MORE MOISTURE DOWN SOUTH. SHOWER ACTIVITY
AGAIN TODAY SHOULD STAY SOUTH OF I-4 WITH THE BEST CHANCE IN SW
FLORIDA.
WE WILL SEE A BUMP UP IN STORM CHANCES TOMORROW AN AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH THE STATE. AS IT GOES THROUGH WE SEE PW BUMP
BACK UP TO NEAR 2 INCHES. THIS WILL RESULT IN A MORE TYPICAL SUMMER
TIME PATTERN WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE WHOLE
CWA. THE TROUGH WILL MOVE AWAY FOR THURSDAY BUT PW WILL REMAIN
AROUND 2 INCHES FOR ONE MORE DAY ALLOWING FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND STORMS ONCE AGAIN.
DRIER AIR WILL FILTER BACK IN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY KEEPING MOST
OF THE AREA DRY EXCEPT FOR SW FLORIDA. MOISTURE LOOKS TO SLOWLY
RETURN BY SUNDAY AND NEXT MONDAY BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS BACK INTO THE FORECAST.
