Discussion Today through Friday night... high pressure over the southern gulf of mexico will move east across the florida keys today before moving into the bahamas tonight, as a weak low pressure moves from the tennessee valley southeast into the southeastern united states. This will keep a southwest wind flow over south florida today along with dry weather. There could be a late day east coast sea breeze, but the sea breeze will not push inland much. Therefore, high temperatures today will range from the lower 80s over the west coast metro areas of south florida to mid to upper 80s over the east coast metro areas. The high will dissipate over the bahamas on Friday as the weak low moves northeast into the mid atlantic states. This will allow for a weak cold front to move down the florida peninsula and through south florida Friday night. This will keep the southwest flow over the area and allow for some low level moisture to work into region from the south. Therefore, a slight chance of showers will remain in the forecast for Friday afternoon into Friday evening over south florida. The atlantic waters could even a thunderstorm or two Friday night due to the warm gulf waters. Saturday and Sunday... the front will continue to move southward away from south florida, as high pressure builds into the area from the north. This will allow for the return of a northerly wind flow along with dry weather for south florida. Extended forecast |
The high will then move east while strengthening into the western atlantic waters early to middle part of next week. This will allow for a breezy to windy easterly wind flow to set up over south florida as the dry weather continues to remain in place. Marine The winds will be south to southwest today into Friday with speeds of 5 to 10 knots, except 10 to 15 knots this evening over the atlantic waters. The winds will then become northerly early this weekend before swinging to an easterly direction late this weekend with speeds of 5 to 10 knots. The speeds will then increase to breezy to even possibility of windy conditions early next week from the easterly direction. The seas will be 2 feet or less today through this weekend in both the atlantic and gulf waters. The seas should then build to 4 to 6 feet in the atlantic waters early next week, with the gulf seas building to 2 to 4 feet. Fire weather The relative humidities this afternoon and on Friday afternoon should fall down into the lower to mid 30s over the eastern areas of south florida.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
