Despite Thursday's disappointing rainfall totals, I'm still enthusiastic about the likelihood of widespread thunderstorms throughout our area again today. PWATs are a tad lower, but this may actually work in favor of a wetter outcome. The simple difference may be the little bit of veiled sunshine poking through this morning. We just didn't get any seabreeze at all yesterday and that is crucial to achieve our lifting.

Hi Pilot,
Your wish may come true! The seabreeze subsided and those storms that fired up inland are starting to drift toward the coast. Should be an interesting night if they hold together. _________________ Chris
