SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 319 AM EDT Mon May 6 2024

High pressure continues to dominate the benign and warm weather pattern across South Florida. This will keep generally easterly to southeasterly flow at the surface for today and Tuesday. Upper levels remain too dry for significant convection, and Monday and Tuesday are likely to be mainly sunny and dry outside of a few isolated showers that may impact interior and southwest portions of the area. A few showers will be possible across eastern areas during the morning and as the sea breeze pushes inland, the focus of any convection will shift over the southwest portions of the area during the evening hours. Rain chances will remain very low overall without much synoptic forcing and moisture, although can't totally rule out a few sprinkles for some isolated areas.

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 persistent 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.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 319 AM EDT Mon May 6 2024

Surface high pressure over the western Atlantic will gradually weaken and shift southeast by the mid-week period, resulting in initially easterly low level flow veering more southeasterly while decreasing in magnitude. At the mid-levels, ridging over the GOM will build northeastward with the ridge axis largely positioned overhead by Wed/Thursday. Friday into Saturday the aforementioned ridge will flatten in response to a northern branch shortwave shifting into the eastern US, while surface low pressure and its associated cold front will also move towards the area.

In terms of rain chances, Wednesday-Friday will likely be completely dry thanks to a ridge building nearly overhead. The next notable rain chances come ahead of the aforementioned cold front next weekend on Saturday depending on the progression of the parent low. Given that the mid-lvl wave is passing well to our north, would expect the boundary to be frontolytic by the time it reaches SFL, largely maintaining PoPs only in the 15-30% for Saturday.

As low level flow begins to attain a more southerly and southwesterly component through the end of the week, temperatures will warm over the area. Thursday-Saturday will likely be the warmest stretch of the year thus far with widespread highs in the 90s, with mid 90s possible (especially over the Interior). Although there should be some some mixing down of drier air aloft, peak heat indices could also reach triple digits for the first time in 2024 for portions of the area.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 319 AM EDT Mon May 6 2024

VFR conditions expected to prevail at all terminals during the next 24 hours, with maybe APF experiencing brief ISLD/SCT SHRA this afternoon. Winds over the Atlantic terminals will be generally ESE around 5 to 10 kt, increasing into the 12 kts range after 13Z. Gulf sea-breeze expected along the Gulf coast this afternoon which may affect APF.

MARINE
Issued at 319 AM EDT Mon May 6 2024

Breezy to gusty easterly winds with southeasterly easterly surges at time, especially across the Atlantic waters over the next several days. Isolated 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 although rain chances remain quite low overall. Seas will generally remain at 2 to 4 feet in the Atlantic waters and 2 feet or less across the Gulf waters. During easterly wind surges, conditions could reach Small Craft Exercise Caution (SCEC) conditions.

BEACHES
Issued at 319 AM EDT Mon May 6 2024

Breezy easterly flow continues the high risk of rip currents across all Southeast Florida beaches at least through the beginning half of the work week.
