Evaluation of UAHCI early on in MLB

Forecaster comments from EWP blog...

Looking across FL, much of the area was obscured by thick high clouds, making the CI products impossible to calculate/use. However, at 1710Z, the UAHCI algorithm did indicate possible CI just off the eastern FL coast, with a relatively low strength of signal of 30-40. Of note, the UWCTC algorithm did not hit on this cloud mass at all. As the follow image at 17:45Z shows, the band of clouds with a low SOS did not develop and actually diminished. This is within the expected outcome given the low SOS.
