SEA BREEZE FRONT
A coastal phenomena, it is restricted to large bodies of water and their immediate coast lines. This is usually the landward extent of the sea breeze.
Sea Breeze Front
The leading edge of a sea breeze, whose passage is often accompanied by showers, a wind shift, or a sudden drop in temperature.

Was a sea breeze front involved? This can sometimes be inferred by a change in humidity (it should 'feel' more humid), and there may be a line of precursor cumulus development, with a change in visibility and wind direction perhaps.
Thunderstorms caused by powerful sea breeze fronts frequently occur in Florida, a peninsula surrounded on both the east and west by the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, respectively.
Sea breeze A coastal local wind that blows from the ocean onto the land. The leading edge of the breeze is termed a sea breeze front.
Sea level pressure The atmospheric pressure at mean sea level.

For example, a sea breeze front can be in place as an outflow boundary crosses it from a perpendicular direction. Where these two boundaries meet, there is increased lift and hence, deep convection can be initiated there in unstable environments.
SEA BREEZE: A local wind that blows from a sea or ocean towards land. It is caused by the temperature difference between cool air above the water and the warmer land. The leading edge of the breeze is termed a sea breeze front.
