Forecast Details: models show middle and upper level low-pressure system over the western Florida Panhandle to shift westward while deep layer moisture shifts west-northwest over the forecast area. Models are in good agreement showing the surface ridge axis staying north of the area and indicate the best upward vertical velocity over the interior and southeast Georgia area. Expect the East Coast sea breeze and low-level moisture convergence to support isolated to scattered convection by late morning and early afternoon and push inland during the afternoon. Generally have probability of precipitation increase from south to north with 50-60% possible over northern zones and 40-50% over southern zones. Maximum temperatures in the middle 90s inland and around 90 near the coast due to early East Coast sea breeze. Tonight isolated evening convection should end fairly early across the western zones.
