...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.
