Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 911 AM EDT Thu May 23 2024

New UPDATE

UPDATE
Issued at 910 AM EDT Thu May 23 2024

Quiet conditions and sunny skies prevail across South Florida this morning. No significant changes with this forecast update.

SHORT TERM
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 218 AM EDT Thu May 23 2024

A broad mid level ridge will continue to build over South Florida through the rest of the week as a departing mid level trough pushes further away from the region into the Atlantic. At the surface, high pressure centered to the north in the western Atlantic will continue to be the main synoptic feature affecting the weather pattern across South Florida during this time frame. With a general light east to southeasterly wind flow in place, the east coast sea breeze will be able to propagate well inland as the day progresses. Shower and thunderstorm activity will be focused mainly over interior portions of Southwest Florida where the sea breezes interact with each other. The steering flow aloft will remain northerly through the end of the week. This will keep the highest chances of shower and thunderstorm development over southwestern areas. The potential for strong thunderstorm development will remain low due to a lack of synoptic scale forcing and rather low instability, however, an isolated strong storm containing gusty winds cannot be ruled out especially over southwestern areas where sea breeze boundaries and thunderstorm outflow boundaries collide.
High temperatures today and Friday will generally rise into the upper 80s to around 90 along the east coast and into the lower to mid 90s across interior portions of Southwest Florida.

LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 218 AM EDT Thu May 23 2024

Heading into the upcoming weekend, the mid level ridge remains in place over the region, however, it may weaken just a bit during the first part of the weekend in response to a mid level trough moving through the Mid Atlantic states and pushing off into the western Atlantic. At the surface, a frontal boundary associated with a developing area of low pressure will move across portions of the Southeast. While this frontal boundary will not get anywhere close to South Florida, it may cause the winds to become more southerly over the weekend. Shower and thunderstorm chances will still be sea breeze driven, however, with a drier north to northwesterly steering flow aloft, the chances of showers and thunderstorms will be rather low. The best chances of showers and storms will be focused over the interior sections as well as the metro and coastal areas of Palm Beach and Broward Counties. With the south to southwesterly wind flow developing, hot conditions will develop over the region. High temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will generally range from the lower 90s across the east and west coast to the mid to upper 90s across the interior sections as well as the Lake Okeechobee region. Heat indices will have the potential to range between 100 and 105 during this time frame.

Moving into the early to middle portion of next week, mid level ridging across the region on Monday will begin to break down on Tuesday and Wednesday as a deepening mid level trough pushes into the eastern portion of the country. At the surface, a developing area of low pressure will push into the Great Lakes region and Southeastern Canada during this time frame. The frontal boundary associated with this system will push through the Southeast and into Northern Florida. Uncertainty remains high for this part of the forecast as this is towards the end of the forecast period and guidance remains in disagreement with how far south the front progresses through the Florida Peninsula. With the potential for moisture to increase, the chances of showers and thunderstorms may increase heading towards the middle portion of the week. The bigger concern will be the heat as south to southwesterly wind flow will remain in place during this time out ahead of the approaching frontal boundary. High temperatures could rise into the lower to mid 90s across the east coast metro areas and into the upper 90s across the interior sections. With moisture advection taking place, heat indices could have the potential to range between 100 and 105 across the region with localized interior sections ranging between 105 and 110. This will continue to be monitored as the week progresses.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 656 AM EDT Thu May 23 2024

L/V winds early this morning with sea-breeze circulations switching winds to an onshore direction along both coasts later into the early afternoon hours. VFR and mostly dry outside of a few isolated showers across inland areas throughout the TAF period.

MARINE
Issued at 218 AM EDT Thu May 23 2024

In general, a gentle to moderate easterly wind flow will remain in place across the region through the end of the week across the local waters. The exception to this will be across the Gulf waters, where winds will shift to the west southwest each afternoon due to the Gulf breeze developing. Winds will gradually become more southerly across all local waters as the upcoming weekend progresses. Seas across the Atlantic waters will generally remain at 3 feet or less while seas across the Gulf waters remain at 2 feet or less through the rest of the week and into the upcoming weekend. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible over the Atlantic and Gulf waters each day.
