SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Saturday)
Issued at 248 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024

A rather benign weather pattern remains in place across South Florida today with continued light to moderate easterly flow with surface high pressure to the east. Southwest Florida has the best opportunity for any isolated showers or weak convection with the sea breeze this afternoon. An upper level disturbance advancing towards and into the Florida panhandle tonight will open a small weakness in the upper level flow across the Florida peninsula from Saturday into Saturday night. This weak upper level disturbance combined with an increase in the moisture profile between 850 and 700 mb should induce some slightly greater PoPs during Saturday afternoon into the 20 to 40 percent range. With the continued moderate easterly flow, this activity will be most favored across the interior/western portions of South Florida. Expect for the afternoon highs to top out in the mid 80s to near 90 degrees. The overnight lows will trend in the low to mid 70s along the coast while interior locations dip into the mid to upper 60s.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 248 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024

The weak upper level disturbance lingers through Sunday atop the Florida peninsula before becoming more diffuse. The 500 mb heights then increase into mid to late week as upper level ridging will build into the region from the west. Surface high pressure stays focused to the east in the Atlantic, maintaining the light to moderate east to east-southeasterly flow across the region. Like Saturday, Sunday will feature around 20 to 40 percent chance for showers and convection across the interior and western portions portions of South Florida. Early next week keeps some isolated opportunities but solely with any lift from the afternoon sea breeze. The PoPs then look to diminish even more into mid to late next week as the upper level ridge strengthens. The temperatures also respond as afternoon highs could reach the mid 90s across interior locations by Wednesday and Thursday of next week.



AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 107 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024

VFR flight conditions are expected to primarily prevail through the TAF operational period at the local aerodromes. Kept VCSH at KAPF as some isolated showers and/or weak convection across portions of southwest Florida. Light to moderate east to east-southeasterly flow will continue. The only exception is KAPF for a time this afternoon where the flow becomes west-southwesterly thanks to the influence of any of the sea breeze and any isolated showers/weak convection in that region.

MARINE
Issued at 248 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024

Besides occasional times of gusty easterly winds, anticipate for marine conditions to stay rather benign through the weekend and entering into early next week. Isolated to scattered rain showers and a few thunderstorms are possible each day, which could bring brief periods of rough seas and gusty winds. Seas will generally remain at 2 to 4 feet in the Atlantic waters and 2 feet or less across the Gulf waters. Winds are likely to peak in the 13-18 kts range out of the east and likely induce periods of Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions.

BEACHES
Issued at 248 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024

Breezy easterly flow will lead to an elevated risk for rip currents along the Atlantic beaches through the remainder of the today and this upcoming weekend. Highest rip current risk today will be maximized across the Palm Beach County beaches.
