.DISCUSSION... Issued at 304 AM EDT Mon Sep 29 2025
Tropical Storm Imelda, which is currently about 315 SE of Cape Canaveral, will continue to move north through the day before making a pretty sharp eastward turn on Tuesday. As it does so we will see some dry air wrapping around the system keeping most of our area dry through Wednesday with only some isolated showers. The only exception with be the interior and the Nature Coast this afternoon and evening which should see some scattered storms.
By Thursday upper level troughing will push over the area and moisture will return. This will bring back a more familiar seabreeze breeze thunderstorm coverage across the area. This trend of scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms will last through the weekend.
