SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Wednesday)
Issued at 1247 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

An unsettled couple of days are expected across South FL. A shortwave trough is expected to cross the area today and then sit just east of the area on Wednesday. Meanwhile, a surface trough that was sitting across the east coast metro this morning will slowly drift to the west throughout the course of today. SCT showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon into evening, with the highest PoPs over interior South FL, however chances will remain along the coasts as well. Despite the trough axis moving east of the area overnight into tomorrow morning, residual moisture will linger across the area resulting in more SCT showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday. Main threat over the next couple days will be for locally heavy rain. While widespread flooding is not expected, PWAT values of 1.8-1.9 inches will result in high rainfall rates, and a quick 1- 2 inches per hour is possible in spots which could lead to some isolated urban flooding. Winds tonight over the interior are expected to be nearly calm, so some patchy fog is possible in the typical locations across the Everglades, around the lake, and interior SW FL.

High temps this afternoon will range from the lower 80s across the east coast metro to upper 80s across SW FL. A mild evening is expected with overnight lows ranging from the middle 60s around the lake to lower 70s close to the coasts. Temps will nudge higher a couple degrees on Wednesday with afternoon highs in the low to mid 80s across the east coast metro, to around 90 over interior SW FL.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 301 AM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

Weak surface high pressure will be situated in the western Atlantic for the long term period, which will lead to consistent easterly flow near the surface. Modest moisture advection and pooling will occur as well, allowing for slight chances for showers every day through the period. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible as well, but will be few and far between since the local air mass will still be semi-stable. Showers and isolated storms could be enhanced further by daily gulf and sea breezes, but overall not expecting widespread activity since there are only occasional impulses of vorticity advecting through the area and no deep areas of low pressure.

Temperatures will peak in the 80s with lower 80s along the Atlantic coast and upper 80s across Southwest Florida. The overnight low will be in the 60s except for lower to mid 70s across the east coast metro areas.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 709 AM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

SCT showers will result in locally heavy rain along with sub VFR ceilings and Visbys today. SE winds increasing to 10-15 kts from late morning through the afternoon, although variable winds are briefly possible around convection. A westerly Gulf breeze is expected after 18Z at APF.

MARINE
Issued at 1247 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

SCT showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected over the area waters the next couple of days which could lead to locally hazardous marine conditions. Outside of convection, mostly benign conditions are expected with E/SE winds 10-15 kts over the Atlantic waters and around 10 kts in the Gulf. A light westerly wind is expected over the Gulf waters during the afternoon on Wednesday. Seas generally 2- 4 ft in the Atlantic and 2 ft or less in the Gulf.

BEACHES
Issued at 1247 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

A high risk of rip currents remains across the Atlantic beaches through this evening due to persistent easterly flow. The high risk will remain across the Palm Beaches through Wednesday due to a lingering swell, while conditions slightly improve at Broward and Miami-Dade beaches as the SE flow weakens, however an elevated threat will remain through much of the week.
