DISCUSSION
Issued at 221 PM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024
Broad upper-level ridging remains in place as a weak but dry surface high persists at the surface. The sea breeze boundaries are the main feature of note in this setup as the light flow is allowing inland propagation and a moderating of coastal temperatures with water temperatures in the 70s. However, the aforementioned dry and stable airmass remains a barrier to any convective development, despite a setup not unlike a summer day.
Over the coming days, the gradual return of moisture may yield enough low-level convergence to support an isolated shower across the interior of the peninsula. That being said, this is still very low probability. As such, have introduced a 10% POP for parts of the interior, but it's really difficult to have much more confidence than that into next week.
The most notable feature on the horizon for next week is a shortwave trough that yields some amplification in the flow and a period of enhanced vertical ascent that may yield a few storms across mainly the northern half of the Florida peninsula on Monday.
Otherwise, though, weather conditions are not really expected to change. If anything, it may yield an increase in the overall moisture content, favoring additional diurnal activity through the end of the week.
Overall, though, conditions largely look warm and dry. While this is a little earlier than normal and favors some record high temperatures being set, we are fast approaching that period of the year where this becomes the norm.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 221 PM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024
No significant aviation concerns through the weekend as VFR conditions prevails for the next few days. Only point of note is that a sea breeze is expected to develop each day.
MARINE

Issued at 221 PM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024
