CURRENT...METARS AND MOVEMENT OF LOW CLOUDS ON VIS SATELLITE IMAGERY 
SHOW THAT THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS REMAINS NEAR LAKE OKEECHOBEE EARLY 
THIS MORNING WITH LIGHT SW TO SSW FLOW IN PLACE ONCE AGAIN ACROSS
ECFL. SATELLITE ALSO SHOWS MOST OF THE LINGERING CONVECTIVE DEBRIS 
CLOUDS FROM OVERNIGHT STORMS OVER THE CWA HAD DISSIPATED BY SUNRISE. 
EXCEPTION IS AROUND LAKE OKEECHOBEE...WHERE A RESIDUAL MESOSCALE 
CONVECTIVE VORTEX (MCV) HAS BEEN DRIFTING TWD THE EAST SIDE OF THE 
LAKE. LIFT GENERATED BY THIS FEATURE HAS CAUSED SKIES TO CLOUD BACK 
UP IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE LAKE. ALTHOUGH IT IS WEAKENING 
...THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME POTENTIAL FOR ENHANCEMENT OF CONVECTION 
OVER THE SRN THREE COUNTIES LATER TODAY FROM THIS FEATURE. MORNING 
RAOBS SHOW A SIMILAR MOISTURE PROFILE COMPARED TO EARLY TUE...WITH 
NEAR SEASONAL PWATS ~1.7" 
TODAY...EXPECT CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION SIMILAR TO TUE...WITH ISOLD LATE
MORNING WCSB CONVECTION INCREASING IN COVERAGE AS IT MOVES NE TOWARD
THE EAST SIDE OF THE PENINSULA. ECSB WILL REMAIN PINNED NEAR COASTAL
VOLUSIA/BREVARD...BUT MAKE BETTER INLAND HEADWAY TOWARD THE TREASURE
COAST...ALTHOUGH FLOW PATTERN THERE LIKELY TO BE DISTURBED BY CLOUDS
AND EARLY PRECIP DEVELOPMENT.
MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENT TO NUDGE POPS OVER THE FAR SOUTH TO 50 GIVEN
PRESENCE OF MCV AND SHOWER BAND MOVING IN FROM THE S-SE. OTRW...
POPS ELSEWHERE LOOK FINE...AS DO CLOUDS/TEMPS/WINDS.
