(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmfl 270834 afdmfl area forecast discussion national weather service miami fl 434 am edt Sat may 27 2017 Hot memorial day weekend... Discussion Near-term (this morning): diffuse frontal boundary over the atlantic extending to the SE florida coast along with a passing mid-level shortwave trough are helping to trigger showers and thunderstorms near and just east of the upper keys early this morning. Expect this activity to remain over the gulf stream through the morning hours, with mostly clear skies over the peninsula. Short-term (today through memorial day): the memorial day weekend will be a hot and mainly dry one across south florida as high pressure aloft builds into the area. For today, there will be just enough influence from the diffuse front and passing mid-level shortwave trough to favor a few showers and thunderstorms this afternoon primarily over interior sections south of lake okeechobee as well as the east coast metro area south of west palm beach. Sea breeze collision will be over the interior, with the low mid level flow moving any showers and storms slowly towards the east coast. Went with similar pops as the previous forecast, which is higher than MOS and close to the model consensus. As the high pressure aloft builds into florida Sunday and memorial day, deep-layer drying will be more pronounced, thereby further reducing rain chances. An isolated afternoon storm or two over the southern everglades is about all that is in the forecast for the end of the holiday weekend. High temperatures through memorial day will rise into the lower to mid 90s, except for coastal areas which will top out in the upper 80s. 1000-850 mb thickness increase to over 1430m over interior sections each afternoon, which should easily support mid 90s with a few upper 90s possible. Even the western suburbs of the miami-fort lauderdale-west palm beach metro may reach the mid 90s, especially on Sunday. Afternoon sea breezes will mitigate the heat over metro areas, but not provide much relief over interior sections. Heat index values are forecast to reach 100-102 degrees over most of metro SE florida today, and around 100 degrees Sunday and memorial day. Despite warmer daytime temperatures, heat index over interior sections will likely fail to reach 100 degrees due to low relative humidity values. Minimum temperatures will be in the sultry mid 70s east coast metro, but cool down into the upper 60s interior sections tonight and possibly again Sunday night as dry air and clear skies promote some radiational cooling and temporary relief from the daytime heat. Long term (Tuesday through Friday of next week): high pressure surface and aloft will shift east into the atlantic, leading to prevailing and humid E SE wind and a pattern reminiscent of summer. This pattern favors night and morning showers isolated thunderstorms atlantic and east coast and afternoon and evening showers thunderstorms interior and gulf coast. Temperatures will be close to average for the end of may and beginning of june, with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s and lows in the 70s. |
Marine As the high pressure remains over south florida through the memorial day weekend, winds will be largely driven by sea breezes. Light wind at night and morning will increase to near 15 knots during the afternoon sea breeze cycle near shore. More steady east southeast wind beginning Tuesday as the high pressure area shifts north and east. Seas will be mainly 3 feet or less. Beach forecast Light winds in the morning will increase some each afternoon with the sea breeze cycle, but overall surf conditions should be rather benign. Isolated thunderstorms possible this afternoon east coast beaches, otherwise mostly dry conditions through the holiday weekend. Fire weather Dry air which filtered into the lake okeechobee area yesterday behind the weak front will linger over the next 2-3 days, leading to low relative humidity values well below 40 percent over most of interior south florida through memorial day. Driest air expected today as relative humidity values will drop to below 30 percent over parts of glades county. As a result, a red flag warning has been issued for glades and hendry counties this afternoon into early evening. Rh values remain near critical levels Sunday, lowering to below 40 percent even into interior portions of southeast florida, then slowly moderate memorial day into early next week. Prev discussion issued 149 am edt Sat may 27 2017 aviation... vfr conditions should prevail, although very brief periods of sub-vfr stratus is possible over miami-dade and broward terminals through about 12z. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms also possible over these locations, but pop too low to warrant mention in taf attm. Light winds will persist until midday seabreezes penetrate each coast, bringing onshore wind at around 10 kt. Wind will diminish again tonight.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
