New UPDATE, AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 701 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024
Quiet conditions prevail across South Florida this evening.
Another dry overnight period is expected with lows in the mid to upper 70s. No significant changes with this update.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 1210 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024
Winds continue to veer NE, then E by late this afternoon and early evening in the wake of a FROPA. The boundary and attached weak meso low linger just south of the southern tip of the peninsula.
If model solutions prevail, the decaying boundary should begin lifting north and back across Soflo from Monday through Tuesday.
This will bring back the warmer sector right over the area, which may provide enough additional moisture for sea breeze showers (and maybe a thunderstorm) to develop with peak heating in the afternoons and evenings. Best POPs remain over the interior spine of the state, with chances increasing into the 30-40 percent by Wednesday.
Temperatures are expected to remain warm, with much of the area hitting the low 90s each afternoon. Sea breezes may keep coastal areas a bit cooler. Triple digit heat index values, particularly by Monday afternoon, point towards a developing heat illness threat for early in the work the week.
LONG TERM
(Monday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 211 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024
The H5 ridge will move overhead on Tuesday before temporarily flattening Wed/Thu in response to a shortwave trough moving through the eastern US. The ridge is then progged to rebuild northward over the area Friday into the upcoming weekend.
Generally southerly low-lvl flow will prevail on Tuesday before the flow veers more southwesterly Wednesday/Thursday ahead of a cold front which is expected to stall in the vicinity of north- central Florida. The flow late this week into the weekend will likely favor the southerly half of the compass but the zonal component will likely be largely sea-breeze driven (i.e.
southwesterly near the west coast, and southeasterly near the east coast).
Rain chances on Tuesday will be limited to isolated showers and storms near the sea-breeze boundary intersection over the interior. Storm chances on Wednesday/Thursday will be dependent upon how far south the front is able to make, and will likely be focused primarily over the northern half of the area (closer to the boundary). Additionally as the synoptic SWrly flow decreases on Thursday the east coast sea breeze may provide a secondary forcing mechanism. Can't completely rule some stronger storms each day given that flow aloft will be seasonably strong, however this risk will largely depend upon how much forcing there is to actually generate storms. A drying trend is expected Friday into the weekend as the ridge builds overhead.
Hot temperatures will prevail through the period, generally in the low to mid 90s near the coast, and mid to upper 90s over the Interior. Peak heat indices will likely push or exceed 105 degrees on Wednesday with these high values then likely persisting through the period, as any significant relief due to frontal passages or widespread rain events looks unlikely. Given the magnitude and duration of the heat (combined with warm overnight lows) heat advisories may be needed for parts of the area over the mid-late week period.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 701 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024
VFR conditions and easterly flow prevail through the period. A few showers and storms may be possible around sites in Broward and Palm Beach County Monday evening, although not quite enough confidence to include in TAF at this time.
MARINE
Issued at 1215 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024
Northerly winds will continue to shift east through this afternoon and evening as a decaying cold front lingers near the Keys. There might be enough lingering moisture for a few showers to develop this afternoon and evening, mainly over the Atlantic waters. The high building back in for much of the week should lower rain chances for the most part of the waters.
BEACHES
Issued at 1215 PM EDT Sun May 12 2024
An elevated risk for rip currents continues today for the Palm Beaches. The risk for rip currents will likely extend into the rest of the Atlantic beaches on Monday as easterly flow becomes stronger.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 208 AM EDT Sun May 12 2024
A relatively dry air mass will remain in place with minimum relative humidity values around 30 to 40 percent over the interior portions of South Florida. This combined with the lack of recent wetting rainfall could lead to enhanced fire weather conditions even with winds forecasted to remain below critical thresholds.
