VFR conditions are expected through the period. Easterly winds prevail becoming westerly behind the afternoon sea breeze in most terminals, except FMY/RSW/LAL. WInds become breezy through the day but should decrease through the evening. Slightly drier conditions should limit shower and storms activity but there is a non-zero chance of isolated showers near southern TAF sites later in the afternoon. Otherwise, no concerns.
UPDATE
Issued at 702 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024
A couple showers and storms are beginning to fire up along the sea breeze boundary. These showers and storms will likely stay isolated along the coast. Otherwise, warm and moist conditions continue. With lower rain chances tomorrow, widespread temperatures in the 90s are expected. Remember to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks when doing any outdoor activities.
