Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 641 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Mid-lvl ridging will build towards the area over through Saturday maintaining the dry and stable airmass over South Florida. Strong high pressure over the NE US will build southward Friday into Saturday tightening the pressure gradient and resulting in breezy easterly flow developing over our area. The dry mid-lvls and dynamic subsidence should keep us mostly dry through the period, although some quick moving shallow showers will be possible over the east coast and Atlantic waters, particularly on Saturday as easterly flow/coastal convergence increases. Temperatures today through Saturday will be characteristic of a strong easterly regime with the warmest highs (generally upper 80s) over the Interior/west coast with cooler highs (generally low to mid 80s) over the east coast. The reverse will be true with overnight lows with milder readings (low 70s) over the east coast and 60s over the Interior/west coast.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Mid-lvl ridging will establish itself over the eastern CONUS this weekend into early next week, displacing the storm track well north of the area.
At the surface (initially strong) high pressure over the western Atlantic will be the main feature of interest supporting breezy easterly winds through the period, although the high will gradually be weakening into next week with winds . Generally dry conditions will prevail given the influence of the ridge, although some quick-moving shallow coastal convergence generated showers can't be ruled out over the east coast and Atlantic waters through the period. Temperatures will be fairly static Sunday/Monday (similar to Saturday), and then increase a couple degrees into the mid-week period as easterly flow weakens somewhat.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 638 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

VFR conditions will prevail through the 12Z TAF cycle at all sites. Easterly winds increase to 10-15 KTs with gusts of 20-25 KTs from the late morning through the afternoon hours. A westerly Gulf sea breeze is expected at KAPF after 20Z.

MARINE
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Easterly winds and seas will increase today into the weekend as high pressure builds southward into the western Atlantic. Hazardous conditions will likely develop tonight and persist through the upcoming weekend, particularly over the Atlantic waters.

BEACHES
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Increasing easterly (onshore) flow and surf will result in a high risk of rip currents for the east coast beaches today through the upcoming weekend.
