Today: Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in the morning, hen scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 90s. West winds 5 mph. Chance of rain 30 %.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy with isolated showers and thunderstorms in the evening, then partly cloudy after midnight. Lows in the upper 60s. Northeast winds 5 mph in the evening becoming light. Chance of rain 20 %.

Hazardous Weather Outlook: Afrontal boundary will meander near the state line today. This feature is then forecast to drop south tonight. Environmental conditions appear conducive for thunderstorms to form along and south of this feature. In addition, activity will be enhanced this afternoon as the sea-breezes advance slowly inland. Locally heavydownpours, gusty winds, frequent cloud to ground lightning and small hail can be expected in the stronger storms. Storm motion will be towards the east at 10 to 15 mph.

Forecast Details: Coastal extension of surface frontal boundary has shifted south to between St. Augustine and Flagler Beach, as evidenced by scattered thunderstorms across this portion of the coastal waters. Mainland extension of this frontal boundary lags across southeast Georgia. Aforementioned frontal boundary will likely meander near the state line for much of the day before a potent shortwave trough /disturbance/ ejects this feature southward tonight. Moisture axis will continue to reside across northeast Florida today and will maintain highest /chance/ probability of precipitation for much of this area. Have maintained thunderstorm wording as low-level southwesterly flow will continue to feed moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and environmental conditions will become increasingly unstable, especially with afternoon heating coupled with late arrival of potent disturbance.

Today's Pollen Levels: 8.5 Medium High (on a scale to 12); Predominate Pollen: Ragweed, Grass and Chenopods.
