New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE, BEACHES
SHORT TERM
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 121 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
A more northerly to northeasterly surface flow develops today behind the passage of a weak cold front. With a strong northerly component to the flow, much drier air is working its way down the Florida peninsula today as high pressure builds over the area.
This will lead to near-average afternoon highs through this forecast period, and mainly sunny and comfortable conditions for today and into the upcoming weekend.
Expect high temperatures to reach the upper 70s across most of the area with overnight lows in the upper 50s to low 60s for northern and inland portions of the area with lower 70s along the coasts.
LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 121 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
High pressure continues to dominate the synoptic pattern across South Florida into early next week, leading to a stretch of beautiful days of partly cloudy skies and lower humidity. The next mentionable POPs come into play during the middle to end of next week as the next frontal boundary pushes down the Florida peninsula beneath a mid-level longwave trough.
High temperatures will rise to the low to mid 80s on Sunday.
Temperatures continue to rise through early in the week as afternoon highs may reach upper 80s to low 90s across much of the region by Tuesday. Overnight lows will warm as well, but with mostly clear skies, much of the region will still cool into the upper 50s (interior/Lake O) and 60s elsewhere.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 121 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Generally VFR through the period with a northerly wind. APF could turn onshore late morning into the afternoon while the east coast sites could go from NW to NE as well. Gusty winds are expected during the daylight hours today.
MARINE
Issued at 121 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Hazardous marine conditions remain across local waters with a moderate to fresh southwesterly breeze today. Dangerous seas up to around 7 to 10 feet will be possible across the Atlantic waters through Friday night with more northerly to northeasterly winds expected today. Conditions will gradually improve as we head into the weekend once the front fully clears our area.
BEACHES
Issued at 121 AM EDT Fri Mar 29 2024
A high risk of rip currents remains in effect for all local beaches as a cold front drops through the area. While conditions for the Gulf beaches will improve as we head into the weekend, a high risk will likely persist for all Atlantic beaches through the weekend.
