Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
5/20/2018 -- NOAA is having problems with the data feed that I use to draw the graphs. They are aware of the issue and working to resolve it. Sometimes changing the location by about a mile will give a correct graph. 3/3/2018 - There is a new GOES Satellite for the east coast that required rewriting that part of the code. Please report any issues. |

Updated national weather service miami fl 1111 am edt Mon jun 18 2018 Update Light flow as high pressure builds in is allowing the sea breezes and associated convection to develop this morning. Storms will be closer to the summer pop up variety compared to the last week. Boundary interactions will be key for storms today, particularly over the interior and southwest florida this afternoon. Forecast is on track with no additional updates anticipated through midday. Prev discussion issued 804 am edt Mon jun 18 2018 aviation... light flow will continue with the sea breeze expected to develop later this morning into the afternoon. Some morning showers possible along the east coast with sub-vfr conditions possible. Convection expected to increase for this afternoon inland and could linger into the evening. Short-fused amendments will likely be necessary as conditions change today. Prev discussion... Issued 407 am edt Mon jun 18 2018 discussion... today and tonight: high pressure continues to dominate the overall pattern across florida and the southeastern u.S., especially in the mid to upper levels, with a low level trough approaching the area from the NE already beginning to produce a few showers over the atlantic and along the palm beach county coast early this morning. As the morning progresses, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will gradually become more common over the east coast metro areas, especially closer to midday. The influence of the low level trough will be most felt over the interior and gulf coast this afternoon, as daytime heating and the gulf seabreeze pushing inland early this afternoon should set the stage for numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms moving sw. A few of these storms could be strong with wind gusts of 40-50 mph as there should be enough instability for stronger cells. East coast areas should see some improvement as the afternoon progresses as the drier air with the trough moves in and the convection generally shifts away from the area. Some of the showers and storms could linger over western areas and the gulf of mexico waters into the early evening, shortly after sunset, before dissipating. It should be another hot day over the interior and gulf coast areas before the showers and storms move in, with highs in the lower to the mid 90s and heat index values 100-105f. East coast metro areas will have highs generally around 90 with heat index close to 100. Tuesday and Wednesday: models continue to be consistent with the overall pattern of drier air moving into the region from the atlantic. The drier air will be most noticeable from palm beach county across to lake okeechobee, glades and hendry counties, and less so for areas to the south. Therefore, pops will have quite a large range on Tuesday, ranging from less than 20% from west palm beach to lake okeechobee and glades county to 60-70% percent over |
the southern everglades, with the naples area as well as metro miami fort lauderdale in the 30-40% range. Timing of precipitation on Tuesday should follow a typical east flow diurnal pattern of morning midday east coast and afternoon evening interior and gulf coast. Warmer and drier air aloft should cut down on the potential for strong storms, although one or two are not out of the question over southern areas. Wednesday appears to be the driest day of the week with the dry air more entrenched area- wide. Still, being june it's hard to have a totally dry day and scattered showers isolated thunderstorms should still develop mainly during the afternoon hours as the overall wind flow weakens and both the atlantic and gulf seabreezes should push well inland. Wednesday will also be the hottest of the two days with lower to mid 90s common away from the coasts and heat index values slightly over 100 degrees. Thursday through next weekend: models show the high pressure area over the southeast u.S. Weakening and shifting south to over florida and the western atlantic. This will help to shift the surface and low level ridge south of the area, leading to a more westerly low level wind pattern and favoring most of the convection over the interior and east coast beginning Thursday and lasting into the first part of the weekend. Moisture levels will be near normal for this time of year, which translates to mainly daytime afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms away from the gulf coast, and less coverage near the gulf coast. Models hint at an atlantic ridge building back over florida late next weekend, which could bring a surge of higher moisture from the southeast, but still plenty of time to look at trends as the new week progresses. With the west wind pattern, the hottest temperatures could shift to the eastern areas with lower 90s possible along with heat index values over 100f. Marine... east wind 10-12 knots today and Tuesday, decreasing on Wednesday and shifting to SW W Thursday and Friday at 10 knots or less. Therefore, outside of showers and thunderstorms which will be most numerous today and Tuesday, generally good boating conditions expected as seas should be generally 2 feet or less. Beach forecast... the rip current risk should stay at low levels through the week, maybe approaching moderate Tuesday at the atlantic beaches.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
