New LONG TERM
SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Friday)
Issued at 143 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Latest surface analysis and satellite imagery places a wimpy cold front over Central Florida at present, with a very isolated line of showers currently moving across the Lake Okeechobee area. Guidance has trended downward regarding the speed and coverage of convective activity with this feeble boundary, with a somewhat generous 20-35% PoPs across southeast FL. The bulk of the shower and storm activity should be moving over the area early this afternoon, and should clear the peninsula sometime around sunset.
Behind the front, seasonal temperatures return overnight and tomorrow with lows in the 50s and 60s and highs tomorrow in the mid to upper 70s. Generally westerly to northwesterly winds will remain breezy this afternoon, with gusts up to 30 kts possible as the front passes. Tomorrow, a more northerly to northeasterly wind flow will develop, with gusts up to 20 kts still possible.
LONG TERM
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 319 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
High pressure builds across the area over the weekend into early next week, leading to dry conditions and a gradual warming trend through the extended period. The next mentionable POPs come into play during the middle to end of next week as the next frontal boundary pushes down the Florida peninsula beneath a mid-level longwave trough.
High temperatures will rise into the upper 70s to low 80s on Saturday, then to the low to mid 80s on Sunday. Temperatures continue to rise through early in the week as afternoon highs may reach upper 80s to low 90s across much of the region by Tuesday.
Overnight lows will warm as well, but with mostly clear skies, much of the region will still cool into the upper 50s (interior/Lake O) and 60s elsewhere.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 131 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Deteriorating conditions ahead of the approaching cold front.
Sub-VFR possible early this morning with a rain shield moving into Southwest Florida. The main convective activity will move through later in this morning into the afternoon with the front clearing through by the evening and the wind shifting out of the W to NW and then NNW. Short-fused AMDs will likely be needed for sub-VFR TEMPOs including for bouts of IFR/LIFR.
MARINE
Issued at 143 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Hazardous marine conditions remain across local waters with a moderate to fresh southwesterly breeze today. Dangerous seas up to around 7 to 10 feet will be possible across the Atlantic waters through Friday night with more northerly to northeasterly winds expected tomorrow. Conditions will gradually improve as we head into the weekend once the front clears our area.
BEACHES
Issued at 143 PM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
A high risk of rip currents remains in effect for all local beaches as a cold front drops through the area. While conditions for the Gulf beaches will improve as we head into the weekend, a high risk will likely persist for all Atlantic beaches through the weekend due to lingering swell and increasingly easterly flow.
Additionally, dangerous surf conditions will persist along the Palm Beach county coastline through tomorrow morning.
