New UPDATE, AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 724 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
High pressure will bring tranquil conditions to the region tonight. Easterly wind flow this evening will become light and variable across most areas overnight. Low temperatures tonight will generally range from the upper 50s across the Lake Okeechobee region to the upper 60s across the east coast metro areas.
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Thursday)
Issued at 1130 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
With the influence of upper level zonal flow over the region, South Florida will remain in a drier and stable environment. The sea breeze regime will influence the bubble up of afternoon cumulus cloud coverage, but no precipitation is expected (PoPS <10%). Afternoon temperatures are on the rise to reach temperatures from the low 80s across the east coast into the mid 80s in the interior and Gulf coast. Overnight lows will cool into the 60s, while remaining around 70 degrees along the east coast.
Tomorrow's conditions will remain relatively unchanged and heavily influenced by high pressure & ridging. Easterly onshore flow continues to escort mild temperatures and breezy afternoon winds.
Temperatures will be just below seasonal, similar to today, with highs in the low to mid 80s. A slight rise in SW FL with temperatures in the upper 80s, approaching 90.
LONG TERM
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 205 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
Upper-level ridging and a prevailing surface high will dominate the regional weather pattern, maintaining mostly dry and seasonable conditions throughout the period. A tightened pressure gradient near the surface will promote breezy easterly winds, particularly along the immediate Atlantic coast where wind gusts may range from 25-30 mph at times through the weekend.
Isolated showers may traverse the local Atlantic waters and the East Coast over the weekend due to low- level moisture advection, with the Probability of Precipitation (PoPs) limited to around 15-20%. Easterly winds will contribute to warmer temperatures, particularly in the southwest, where afternoon highs are anticipated to reach the mid to upper 80s. Along the East Coast, temperatures will be moderated by the easterly breeze, with expected highs in the low 80s.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 724 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
VFR conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period.
Easterly winds around 10 kts this evening will become light and variable overnight across all terminals. These winds will then increase once again out of the east as Thursday morning progresses. At KAPF, light and variable winds overnight will increase out of the west southwest on Thursday afternoon as a Gulf breeze develops.
MARINE
Issued at 1130 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
Hazardous marine conditions continue across the Atlantic waters, due to a northeasterly swell and breezy winds in the wake of a passing cold front to the northeast. Conditions are expected to gradually taper off throughout the day resulting in seas slowly subsiding. A persistent fetch of breezy easterly winds may allow for hazardous marine conditions later in the week and weekend.
BEACHES
Issued at 1130 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
A high risk for rip currents will continue across all Atlantic beaches today and through much of the week in the presence of onshore flow.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 1130 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
Minimum relative humidity values below 35 percent are possible today and tomorrow over portions of Interior SW Florida, in addition to the Significant Fire Potential Forecast being in the orange category. However, winds should remain well below Red Flag Criteria through the day as easterly flow weakens relative to previous days.
