.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 153 PM EDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Prevailing VFR conditions through the afternoon before weather
begins to deteriorate into the evening ahead of approaching
front. Storm coverage and development will be limited by moisture
availability. A TEMPO line was added to show the window with the
highest potential for showers/storms. PEriods of MVFR/IFR ceilings
and visibilities are possible during this time. Breezy west to
southwesterly winds become north to northwest by Saturday and
remain through the weekend.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1043 AM EDT Fri Apr 11 2025

A fairly quiet morning with mostly clear skies across the
peninsula. On tap for today, are highs in 80s with breezy westerly
winds along with dangerous beach conditions an high risk for rip
currents. Red Flag Warning remains in effect for Polk Co. given
the dry conditions and breezy winds anticipated.

This afternoon and evening, weather conditions will begin to
deteriorate as upper level trough pushes over the region. This
morning`s sounding showed a deep layer of dry air, which will be
the limiting factor later tonight when frontal boundary moves
across the area. In addition, though model guidance brings plenty
of upper level support, given the timing of the front that may not
be enough instability to support widespread coverage of storms.

No changes were made to the forecast as it remains on track.
