New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 310 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
The weakening frontal boundary will wash out this morning as it moves across the area with any scattered rain showers or isolated thunderstorms clearing out by the late morning hours. Surface high pressure and broad mid-level ridging will develop over the Gulf coast states behind the front, allowing for a dry air mass to filter in and temperatures to lower to a more seasonable level. In addition, winds will shift to a northerly direction and eventually northeasterly direction while maintaining breezy levels behind the front. Wind gusts will mainly be in the 20-25mph range on Tuesday, though some gusts close to 30mph will be possible.
Comfortable weather will then continue through Wednesday as the surface high advects over the Florida Peninsula and eventually into the western Atlantic where winds then shift to an easterly direction later on Wednesday. The only concern beyond Tuesday morning will be RH levels dropping below 40%, especially from the interior portions of South Florida to the west coast that could pose increased fire weather potential. East coast areas should stay above 40%.
Temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday will range from the mid 70s to around 80 for both days.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 310 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
Beautiful weather is expected through Thursday as high pressure to our north remains in control. Temperatures during this time period will be at or slightly below normal, likely in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees across South Florida.
A potent system is then expected to cross FL Friday into early Saturday. Deterministic and ensemble guidance all points to the potential for heavy rainfall across portions of South FL. Early forecast QPF ranges from 1-3 inches, although some locally higher amounts will certainly be possible. Still too early to determine if there will be a severe threat on Friday into Friday evening, but that potential will be monitored closely over the next several days. Southerly winds will be quite gusty through late Friday night, especially along the coasts, with gusts of 30 mph + possible.
Once the system moves off to the east, much drier conditions are expected for Sunday into early next week as weak upper level ridging builds into the region. Temperatures Friday through the weekend will be right around climatological norms.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 730 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
Mainly VFR conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period.
Some lingering shower activity may persist over the east coast terminals for the next couple of hours before dissipating as a cold front pushes off to the south. Behind the front, a gusty north to northeasterly wind flow will develop through the rest of the day across all terminals. These winds will diminish and become light and variable this evening.
MARINE
Issued at 310 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
Winds and seas are expected to increase for today especially over the Atlantic waters as a frontal boundary passes through the area this morning. Seas could reach as high as 7-10ft with wind gusts up to 25-30kts. These hazardous marine conditions will begin to subside Tuesday night into the mid-week period.
BEACHES
Issued at 310 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
The risk for rip currents becomes high across the east coast beaches today behind a cold front passage. The risk may remain elevated through the rest of the week as easterly flow returns.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 310 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024
Minimum relative humidity values are expected to drop to the 30-40% range today for most of South Florida as a surface high builds behind the front and a dry air mass sets in. East coast areas are likely 40-45% and interior to the west coast between 30-40%, with lowest RHs occurring from the western interior to the west coastline. Winds are not expected to reach warning criteria levels.
