Brian: High pressure overhead, late developing isolated storms today...

Good morning! Isolated storms remain in this afternoons forecast, although I did hedge just a little bit this morning because the upper level temperatures (at about 15,000 feet) are a bit cooler than expected this morning. This would tend to allow for a few more storms. I still think what develops today will be a little late in developing, as happened yesterday. With light south to north steering today, most of the storms should lie along the Gulf breeze and east of the beaches (at least early on, with a chance for them to head back to the coast as they wind down later tonight).
 
High pressure will begin to break down a bit tomorrow allowing for a few more storms. By Saturday, upper level moisture that now is sitting across the southeast will move into Florida allowing for more widespread coverage of storms. I'll have more coming up on 6 TV in about 15 minutes!
