Strong large scale subsidence will persist over west central and southwest florida through Monday. Otherwise zonal u l flow will extend across the southern tier of the u.S. Remaining just north of the forecast area with a strong cut-off low over the northern great lakes rotating over southeast canada on Monday. An associated frontal boundary will sink slowly south today and stall over the southeast u.S. On Monday as it becomes parallel to the upper level flow. At the surface, a large area of high pressure over the central atlantic will extend over the florida peninsula with the ridge axis south of the forecast area. This will create onshore boundary layer flow with the west coast sea breeze pushing inland during the early afternoon hours. This will cause daytime temperatures near the coast to be significantly cooler than inland areas... With mid to upper 80s at the coast, and mid 90s inland each day. Long term (Monday night-Saturday) On Monday high pressure on the surface and aloft, that was keeping the peninsula dry, shifts eastward over the atlantic as a band of moisture associated with a broad upper trough and a weak cold front approaches the florida panhandle. By Tuesday afternoon some moisture returns to the state and is enough to squeeze out some interior showers during the evening after a hot afternoon in the mid 90s. By Wednesday afternoon sufficient moisture has returned to have scattered thunderstorms around |
the peninsula and this pattern continues into Saturday with seasonal temperatures. Aviation Vfr conditions will prevail for the next 24 hours under mostly clear skies. Marine Winds will remain less than 15 knots with seas less than 4 feet through the period. Main hazard will be an increasing chance of late afternoon evening thunderstorms mid to late week. The stronger storms will be capable of producing strong gusty winds, locally rough seas, and frequent cloud to water lightning. Fire weather No fire weather hazards are expected. Minimum relative humidity values will drop below 35 percent for a few hours over the interior peninsula this afternoon, however winds and durations are expected to remain below critical levels.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
