Synopsis -
a gentle to moderate easterly wind flow will remain in place today across the local waters. Easterly flow will gradually increase Friday and into the upcoming weekend as strong high pressure builds south towards the area. This will likely result in hazardous marine conditions returning to all local waters during this time frame.

New SHORT TERM, MARINE, BEACH


SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 1214 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Models show high pressure/mid level ridging dominating the weather pattern across the region. The ridge gradually shifts eastward through the weekend with overall subsidence and dry conditions prevailing. Afternoon temperatures will again range from the lower 80s near the east coast to the mid to upper 80s over interior areas. An isolated shower or two can't be totally ruled out over the interior this afternoon, mainly along sea breeze boundaries, but chances remain very low. Given the light flow and dry airmass, another seasonably cool night can be expected tonight with lows generally in the 60s.

Reinforcing high pressure is seen in models arriving on Friday, which will increase pressure gradients across Soflo. This will result in increasing easterly winds and thus a weakening of the Gulf breeze circulation. Temperatures will remain similar over the east coast (although dewpoints will slightly increase), but slightly increase over the western half of the area, but should remain seasonable overall. Given the continued influence of mid-lvl ridging, rainfall is once again not expected.

LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 141 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 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. Generally dry conditions will prevail given the influence of the ridge, although some shallow coastal convergence generated showers can't be ruled out over the east coast and Atlantic waters. Temperatures 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.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 717 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

VFR conditions will continue at all terminals during the next 24 hours. Light/vrb winds will shift east around 10-12kt after 15Z, then light/vrb again tonight.

MARINE
Issued at 1214 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Current benign boating conditions will continue tonight as the moderate easterly winds become light and variable. Then on Friday, winds will increase and remain breezy through the weekend as strong high pressure north of the area builds southward.

BEACHES
Issued at 1214 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

A high risk of rip currents remains in effect for the Palm Beach coastline, and it is expected to expand into the rest of the Atlantic beaches this afternoon and through the weekend as easterly flow increases.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 141 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

The dry airmass will remain in place through the end of the week over portions of Interior and SW Florida as generally easterly flow continues to prevail. Minimum RHs below 40% can be expected over these portions of the area through Friday, with localized values approaching 35% this afternoon. Although fuels will remain dry (the Significant Fire Potential Forecast remains in the orange category), winds should remain below fire weather headline criteria through the period.
