GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 937 Pm Edt Tue Apr 23 2024
Synopsis -
winds will generally be light and variable through Wednesday before becoming gentle easterly to southeasterly late in the week. Winds will freshen over the weekend thanks to a tightening pressure gradient between the high to our east and a developing system in the plains. Cautionary to perhaps low-end advisory level winds are expected this weekend. Seas will also build in response to 4 to 6 feet.

New AVIATION

UPDATE
Issued at 932 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

The forecast is right on track on this fair-weather evening, so no updates to the weather forecast are forthcoming. Regional upper air soundings this evening showed a strong subsidence inversion between 4,000 and 6,000 feet.

NEAR TERM
(Through Wednesday)
Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Surface high pressure will remain on tap throughout the near term, mostly clear to clear skies are expected. Needless to say, dry conditions and light winds are also expected. Expect daytime highs generally in the low 80s with overnight lows generally in the low to mid 50s.

SHORT TERM
(Wednesday night through Thursday night)
Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

A trough moving through the Great Lakes will flatten our ridge out Wednesday night and Thursday and will also try to send a cold front down to our area. However, the front won't make it. At most, an isolated shower or storm can't be ruled out over the northernmost tier of counties Thursday afternoon, but minimal impacts are expected. Highs will be in the lower to middle 80s with lows in the upper 50s to near 60.

LONG TERM
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Ridging builds back stronger across the area late week into the weekend. High pressure will be positioned off the southeast and mid- Atlantic coasts while a low pressure system develops over the Plains. This results in a tightening pressure gradient and perhaps some breezy winds this weekend. Otherwise, temperatures will be on the rise with widespread upper 80s by early next week for highs.
Lows will also climb into the 60s.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 130 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

VFR conditions are expected to prevail throughout the period. KABY started reporting some MVFR cigs, so opted to add a tempo group in for that. Guidance, satellite, and webcams aren't really picking up on it so it's tough to say how long this might last. Outside of that, KVLD could potentially drop to MVFR vis for a few hours based off persistence forecasting.

MARINE
Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Winds will generally be light and variable through Wednesday before becoming gentle easterly to southeasterly late in the week.
Winds will freshen over the weekend thanks to a tightening pressure gradient between the high to our east and a developing system in the Plains. Cautionary to perhaps low-end advisory level winds are expected this weekend. Seas will also build in response to 4 to 6 feet.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Lighter transport winds through tomorrow will lead to fair dispersions region-wide as high pressure dominates. A system across the Great Plains on Friday will lead to a tightening pressure gradient across the region leading to high dispersions on Friday. This system is not expected to make it through our region and our next chance for wetting rain doesn't look to appear until next week. Moisture gradually increases throughout the week as winds clock around to being out of the south-southeast by this weekend.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 208 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Minor flooding continues along the middle and lower Suwannee, the lower Withlacoochee, the Aucilla, and the St. Marks Rivers. The Aucilla and St. Marks continue to fall and should exit flood stage during the next 2 to 3 days. On the Suwannee, the flood wave is now near Branford and will continue to move downstream over the next 5 to 7 days. Little to no rainfall is expected during the next week, and there are no flood concerns as a result.
