New LONG TERM

SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 1203 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

As an upper level perturbation advects across the eastern Gulf of Mexico and into the Florida Panhandle, a slight moistening in the 850mb to 700mb layer will occur in conjunction with colder 500mb values aloft (-9C to -10C). With the low-level flow remaining out of an easterly direction due to surface ridging remaining in firm control, the Atlantic sea-breeze will propagate inland with ease.
This will allow for convergence of the stronger Atlantic sea-breeze and weaker Gulf sea-breeze to occur over southwestern Florida.
Mesoscale ascent along this boundary could allow for an isolated thunderstorm or two to develop later this afternoon. Mid-level lapse rates remain fairly meager at 5 to 5.5 C/km and forecasted CAPE values appear to be marginal at best with CAMS hinting at values near 1000 J/kg. With the lack of shear in the vertical profile, the main hazards with thunderstorm activity today will be lightning and heavy rainfall concerns. In addition, given the orientation of the isolated storms along the boundary, certainly cannot rule out a brief funnel cloud if vorticity is ingested into a parent storm.
PoPs during the afternoon hours across southwestern Florida peak in the 30 to 50 percent range with activity propagating towards the Gulf coast metro as sunset approaches. Forecasted afternoon highs will top out in the mid 80s to near 90 degrees across southwestern Florida with highs in the low to mid 80s across the eastern half of the area thanks to the prevalent onshore flow. The overnight lows will trend in the low to mid 70s along the east coast while interior locations dip into the mid to upper 60s. A similar pattern will take place tomorrow with morning coastal showers along the east coast and then the potential of showers and storms across inland southwestern Florida tomorrow afternoon.

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 236 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

Generally NWrly mid-lvl flow will prevail to start the week downstream of building ridging over the GOM. A few weak perturbations will pass through the area Mon/Tues, before the aforementioned ridge builds overhead mid-week. At the surface the Atlantic high will gradually weaken/shift east through the period, driving a trend towards a more sea-breeze driven/light synoptic flow regime by late week.

Overall rain chances look to be limited to mostly Mon/Tuesday and are still only in the 15-30% range, with the best chances in the morning/early afternoon near the east coast, with the focus shifting to the western Interior/west coast later in the afternoon. Once the ridge moves overhead by mid-week, the combination of warming mid-lvl temperatures and subsidence should keep rain chances unmentionable through Friday. Probably the most noticeable aspect of the forecast will be increasing temperatures in the mid to late week period as the ridge builds in (and synoptic flow weakens). By Wednesday, highs in the mid 90s are expected over Interior areas with highs likely increasing into the lower 90s near the east coast metro by Thursday/Friday

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1203 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

Breezy to gusty easterly flow will continue for the east coast terminals today with KAPF becoming westerly later this afternoon with the Gulf breeze. Showers and thunderstorms along the Gulf breeze could impact KAPF later this afternoon/evening. Shower activity overnight could result in intermittent MVFR cigs for the east coast terminals.

MARINE
Issued at 1203 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

Breezy to gusty easterly winds with periods of enhancement, especially across the Atlantic waters over the next several days.
Isolated to scattered rain showers and a few thunderstorms are possible each day, which could bring locally higher seas and gusty winds in and around shower/thunderstorm activity. Seas will generally remain at 2 to 4 feet in the Atlantic waters and 2 feet or less across the Gulf waters. During wind enhancements, conditions could reach Small Craft Exercise Caution (SCEC) conditions.

BEACHES
Issued at 1203 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024

Breezy easterly flow will lead to a high risk for rip currents along the Atlantic beaches through the remainder of this weekend. The risk may remain elevated early next week, especially across the Palm Beach County beaches.
