Forecast is based on ignition time of 0900 EDT on June 03.

Service.

.DISCUSSION...

High rain chances, especially in the afternoon, as a residual
frontal boundary and associated moisture lifts into Central
Florida. Confidence where and when showers and storms will develop
is low due to weak forcing near the boundary, but generally
expect chances to gradually increase from 20 pct at 9 AM to 60 pct
by 2 PM, and remaining around 60 pct through 8 PM. That said, decent
agreement from models for showers and storms capable of cloud to
ground lightning and heavy rainfall near the burn site by 1PM to
2 PM, as a weak and diffuse east coast sea breeze arrives.
Easterly winds around 5-10 mph increase to around 10 mph with the
weak see breeze, then ease to 5-10 mph overnight, becoming
southeast around 10 mph Wednesday. Dispersion values Fair to
Generally Good by the late morning and afternoon. Min RH 60-70
pct.
