New LONG TERM

SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 1127 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

With the assistance of broad upper level ridging and a surface high, conditions will remain dry and benign as we wrap up the week and move into the weekend. As the the wind flow veers to a more SE then SW direction, it will allow for a gradual increase in tropical moisture and warm air advection. Therefore, the warming trend will continue today and tomorrow afternoon. The Atlantic and Gulf coast breezes will keep the immediate coastal afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s. However, the interior temperatures, especially in SW FL, there is potential to rise into the low 90s. With the influence of the RH values and heat indices, it will feel a few degrees warmer across portions of the region. Overnight lows will fall into the 60s in a majority of South FL, with the coast keeping to the low 70s.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 214 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Models show a weakening of the persisting ridging north of the area as a strong trough/low storm complex migrates across the E CONUS to start the long term. This will bring back rain chances for SoFlo for the Mon/Tue timeframe as the ridge erodes into the western Atlantic and allows for a weakening frontal boundary to push south into central Florida and eventually SoFlo.

Latest solutions keep the best dynamic support well north of the area, with the boundary reaching the area basically as a frontolytic feature. With no significant upper-level support, expect mainly showers accompanying this FROPA, with southerly winds enhancing moisture advection from the Caribbean. There will be a slight chance of thunderstorms, but mainly for the Lake region. Models still show the decaying front stalling out somewhere over the region and lingering through mid week, and keeping very low chances of showers around the Atlantic coast each day.

The warm moisture advection will result in afternoon temperatures reaching the mid-upper 80s near the coasts, and lower 90s across interior areas.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1232 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

VFR through the period at all TAF sites. Breezy southeasterly winds continue through the afternoon for the east coast sites. A Gulf sea breeze will bring W/SW flow to KAPF throughout the afternoon. Winds become light and variable by 00Z and remain overnight.

MARINE
Issued at 1127 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Gentle southeasterly winds will prevail across all local waters to wrap up the week as a surface high over the western Atlantic continues to shift eastward. Seas will generally remain 2 feet or less as we move into the weekend.

BEACHES
Issued at 1127 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

A moderate rip current threat is possible for the Palm Beach county beaches through the end of the week into the weekend.
