Mainly Showers and Some Isolated Thunder

Soupy and nearly stagnant low to mid level air mass under divergence well aloft should allow ample shower and some thunder formation today. Steering is very slow at 8-12mph (tops) , and with moisture over-loading in that slow motion would expect most storms not to move far from their source before weakening. Early evening cloud cover along much of the east 1/2 of the state is possible due to cloud debris accompanied by spacious sprinkles.

BEYOND: Little change into the weekend with rain chances decreasing some by later Sunday. Could be quite a bit of cloud cover for the Cocoa Beach Air Show, or less than pristine conditions for viewing certain elements of the show.

The earliest autumn since 1896 arrives this Saturday, September 22, at 10:49 A.M. (EDT). At this time, the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator from north to south.
