New AVIATION

NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 337 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024

Surface high pressure remains in control of the sensible weather pattern this afternoon with southeasterly flow expected to continue.
Like Saturday, winds could be breezy at times with occasional gusts to 20 or 25 mph. In the upper levels, a weak upper level trough will slowly translate east into tonight. We'll see fewer clouds this afternoon which should allow temperatures to warm up into the mid 80s and be about 1 or 2 degrees warmer than yesterday. Similar to previous evenings, another surge of easterly flow will move through in the evening and early part of the overnight as the Atlantic seabreeze moves through. This will keep rough winds and seas for boaters planning to be out in the Gulf overnight.

SHORT TERM
(Monday through Tuesday night)
Issued at 337 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024

Ridging will prevail across the area through Monday. The center of the surface high will slide southward off the east coast with southeast to southerly surface winds prevailing. By Tuesday, a weak upper level shortwave will move into the area, and it may provide just enough lift for a low chance of showers and thunderstorms across the northwestern portions of the area. The dry initial airmass ahead of it will likely prevent higher rain chances. Highs will generally be in the 80s except upper 70s along the beaches.
Overnight lows are expected to range from the upper 50s to mid 60s.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 337 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024

The weak upper level disturbance on Tuesday will exit the area on Wednesday with ridging returning to the area. The forecast continues to look dry for the remainder of the work week. By Saturday, the upper level ridging may flatten with some increase in moisture noted. Afternoon highs will generally range from the mid 80s to near 90 away from the immediate coast. Overnight lows will generally be in the 60s.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 642 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024

VFR conditions will prevail at area terminals through the TAF period. Similar to Saturday, breezy southeasterly flow will prevail at all terminals with occasional 15 to 20 knot gusts through the afternoon.

MARINE
Issued at 337 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024

Elevated southeast winds will continue today with advisory level conditions expected through this morning for the waters east of Apalachicola and into early this afternoon for the waters west of Apalachicola. Another easterly surge of winds is expected tonight into Monday morning with exercise caution or advisory conditions.
Winds and seas will relax to more favorable conditions starting on Tuesday and continuing through the week.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 337 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024

High mixing heights, more sunshine, and a continuation of breezy southeasterly flow this afternoon will lead to another day of high dispersions. This will allow somewhat elevated fire weather concerns with recent dry conditions taken into account. The breezy conditions continue into Monday with dispersions remaining on the higher side of things. Low-level moisture could slowly increase through the upcoming week, but warm and dry conditions will still allow relative humidity to drop around 35 to 45% most afternoons. Additionally, widespread wetting rain chances remain very low through at least the middle of the upcoming week.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 337 AM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024

Minor flooding continues along the middle and lower Suwannee River.
However, the minor flooding will be ending from north to south in the next few days with the lack of additional rainfall. There are no other flooding concerns expected for the next several days.
