.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Weather remains quiet through Friday, rain
chances return this weekend, persisting into next week.

Through Friday, conditions should be dry, dominated by an upper
ridge of high pressure. Temperatures should remain below normal
for the end of July, along with lower humidity.

A slow-moving low pressure system approaches from the west by
Saturday, increasing rain chances for the weekend and into early
next week...Daily potential for afternoon/evening storms as
southerly flow increases ahead of the system. High temperatures
still expected to remain on the cooler side in the upper 70s to
low 80s as a result of clouds and rain.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR through the period, aside from some patchy morning fog,
IFR/LIFR at LWB/BCB.

A few gusts nearing 20kts today, but mainly across the higher
elevations.

Confidence in the above forecast is high, though lower on dense
fog given winds and drier air.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...

VFR fight conditions will continue through early Saturday,
though patchy morning fog could briefly drop VSBY each morning.
Rain chances return Saturday afternoon, as winds shift to the
south and increase to 15-20 knots ahead of the next approaching
system from the west. This will bring likely storms to all
terminals at times each day this weekend and into early next
week, with likely sub-VFR when impacting a terminal.
