DISCUSSION
Issued at 345 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Today-Tonight...Calm conditions are in place to start the day across east central Florida. Temperatures range from the low 60s to the low 70s (coast) under a mostly clear sky. RAP analysis and satellite imagery indicate some mid level cloud development over northern portions of coastal Volusia county and the adjacent waters, due to some saturation around 800-850mb. Surface high pressure is forecast to stay locked in place as mid level ridging builds east from the Gulf of Mexico today. Easterly winds will pick up this afternoon, gusting as high as 20-25 mph, with temperatures reaching seasonable levels in the low to mid 80s. At the beaches, a high risk of rip currents exists, so entering the water is discouraged.

Sat-Sun...Mid-upper level ridging will encompass much of the Eastern Seaboard thru the weekend. Mid-level impulses will occasionally slide down the peninsula, though we continue to retain mostly dry conditions with a stable onshore flow and less than modest moisture. However, will not rule out a few showers across the local coastal waters and cannot entirely rule out some spits/sprinkles along the coast due to the deep, persistent, onshore flow. Surface high pressure will dominate across much of the eastern CONUS. The pgrad will be tight enough for breezy conditions each afternoon, especially along the coast. Expect gusts of 20 to 25 mph to be common, with 30 mph within reach along the immediate coast (esp Sat). Afternoon highs in the U70s to around 80F at the coast and L80s into the interior. Overnight lows mild and well into the 60s each early morning.

Mon-Fri...The upper ridging begins to break down and shift off of the Atlc Seaboard into the western Atlc. Initial surface high pressure off of the Carolinas will also continue to weaken thru mid-week, while gradually shifting southward, then further seaward by the end of the work-week. The onshore surface flow stays mostly intact, with winds gradually veering a bit more SE/S, though the pgrad will slowly weaken during this time. Continue to keep conditions over land dry. Again, overall (low) coverage potential at the moment, keeping mention of a sprinkle/brief light shower along the coast out of the grids/zones. A warming trend will ensue, with L80s at the immediate coast, perhaps some M80s here by Thu/Fri, and M-U80s into the interior - perhaps some readings near 90F or just above into the interior Wed-Fri.
Overnight lows remain consistent and in the 60s areawide.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 345 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

VFR are expected to continue. Easterly winds increase thru the day, gusting around 20 kt at times prior to 00z. Winds may briefly decrease before increasing again along the coast after 03z, from SUA/FPR/VRB northward.

MARINE
Issued at 345 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Today-Tonight...Favorable boating conditions remain today with east winds gradually increasing this afternoon, 10-15 kt with occasional gusts around 20 kt. Winds increase further late tonight and prior to daybreak Saturday (15-20 kt), with conditions deteriorating across the waters as seas reach 4-5 ft nearshore and up to 6 ft offshore.
Small craft will likely need to exercise caution tonight.

Sat-Tue...Still looking at less than favorable boating conditions going forward into the weekend. High pressure along the Eastern Seaboard gradually weakens during this time, while sliding southward to become centered off of the Carolinas. ERLY winds on Sat 15-20 kts increase to 20-25 kts Sat night, decreasing to 15-20 kts on Sun-Sun night, and mainly 10-16 kts Mon-Tue while veering more SERLY early in the week. There will be some periods of Cautionary Statements and Small Craft Advisories necessary. Initial seas 4-5 ft near shore and 5-6 ft offshore will continue to gradually build in response to the increasing winds, 5-7 ft during the day on Sat, 6-8 ft Sat overnight/early Sun morning - gradually/slowly subsiding Sun afternoon-Tue. While conditions will remain mostly dry, cannot rule out ISOLD sprinkle/shower activity thru this period.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 345 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Today...Relative humidity values this afternoon recover some as moisture increases a bit over the area. Values in the mid 30 to low 40 percent range are expected west of I-95. Easterly winds gradually increase through the day, gusting around 20 mph at times, especially at the coast.

Sat-Tue...Onshore winds increase a bit more into the weekend 15 mph/15-20 mph (Sat) with higher gusts (highest along the coast), decreasing just a bit into early next week as the pgrad relaxes slightly. Min RHs stay above critical levels on Sat-Mon, but as temperatures climb into next week, we will see values fall back to 35-40pct over the interior by Tue again. Conditions mainly dry outside of a sprinkle/brief light shower along the coast due to the deepening onshore flow (chances less than 15%).
