Discussion...
Current/tonight...fewer lingering pockets of instability exist
tonight so think that there will be no need for probability of precipitation across the
interior the rest of the night. Probability of precipitation along the coast are
questionable as there is little convection presently over the
Atlantic. The GFS indicates a light south low level flow
overnight...but low level winds are presently out of the southeast.
With the cut off low aloft over the area and very moist low
levels...will keep a slight pop along the coast.

Aviation...
mainly VFR. Should see convection redevelop offshore and possibly
affect the coastal terminals...especially kmlb-ksua. If there is
enough clear to partly cloudy skies across the interior...patchy fog
may develop in the pre dawn hours.
&&
Marine...
tonight/Wed...weakening Atlantic ridge will slacken the pressure gradient
across the waters so southeast winds should decrease to 5-10 knots late
tonight/early Wednesday. Persistent east/NE swell will keep seas a little
higher...3-4 feet...than what would be expected in such wind flow.
&&
Mlb watches/warnings/advisories...
Florida...none.
Am...none.
