...Synopsis...
Surface high pressure over the Southeast and a dry airmass over the
Gulf Basin will result in a persistent stable environment east of
the Rockies, precluding thunderstorm activity. A drier airmass is
also expected across south FL compared to previous days. Offshore
thunderstorms may approach the east-central FL coast tonight.
However, meager instability and nebulous forcing will likely limit
any thunderstorm coverage on land to less than 10 percent.
