DISCUSSION
Issued at 354 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024
Current-Friday... The east coast sea breeze has formed and is currently pushing inland this afternoon. The KMLB WSR-88D radar shows a few isolated showers forming along the sea breeze boundary, mainly around the Sanford area. Temperatures as of 3 PM range from low 80s to mid 80s where the sea breeze has pushed through, and upper 80s from Orlando westward. Onshore winds around 10 mph have increased to around 12 mph with gusts up to 20 mph behind the sea breeze.
Upper level ridging will remain in place through Friday, with plenty of sunshine expected. The east coast sea breeze will continue to push inland this afternoon, with the collision forecast to occur across the far western interior or across the western portion of the peninsula later this afternoon. Additional isolated showers and lightning storms (PoP 20 percent) will be possible across the western interior this afternoon where the sea breeze collision is forecast to occur. The main threats with any storms will be lightning strikes, gusty winds, and brief downpours. Otherwise, expect mostly dry conditions for the rest of the afternoon with onshore flow around 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph possible behind the sea breeze. Afternoon highs will be in the mid 80s along the coast and upper 80s to near 90 degrees across the interior. Tonight, expect dry conditions under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies.
Model guidance was hinting at patchy fog being possible late tonight into early Friday morning. Greatest potential for fog to form will be across portions of Osceola, Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Brevard counties. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 60s with light and variable winds.
Friday will be much like today, with mostly to partly sunny skies.
The east coast sea breeze will form once again in the afternoon and push inland. Drier air will filter in across the area, with forecast PW values ranging from 1.0-1.1" across east central Florida, which will limit overall convection. Due to this drier air, no mentionable rain chances through the day on Friday. Onshore flow will persist, increasing to 10-12mph behind the sea breeze. Temperatures will seasonable along the coast and above normal across the interior.
Much like today, afternoon highs on Friday will be in the low to mid 80s along the coast and upper 80s to near 90 degrees across the interior.
Saturday-Sunday...Surface high pressure builds along the Atlantic seaboard through the weekend. Locally, light southeast flow backs east each afternoon as a sea breeze develops and moves inland. Model soundings remain generally dry with a shallow layer of moisture limited between 850-700mb. This will allow for cumulus development along and ahead of the sea breeze each day. Isolated to scattered showers and isolated lightning storms are forecast each afternoon with the best chance of any precip focused along the west interior where a sea breeze collision is expected to occur late in the day (PoPs ~20-30). A dry layer persisting above 700mb will keep convection shallow. The greatest hazards associated with any convection this weekend includes occasional cloud-to-ground lightning strikes and localized heavy downpours.
The sea breeze will keep coastal temperatures near normal with highs in the low to mid 80s. Temperatures warm a few degrees above normal across the interior climbing into the upper 80s/ low 90s. Low temperatures are forecast to widely range the mid to upper 60s.
Monday-Wednesday...Surface high pressure along the eastern seaboard drifts into the western Atlantic with its axis settling across the Florida peninsula late in the period. Aloft, mid level ridging across the Bay of Campeche extends into Florida. 500mb heights approaching the 90th climatological percentile by mid week will support an increasing temperature trend. Temperatures ranging the upper 80s/ low 90s across the interior Monday afternoon will range the low to mid 90s by Wednesday. A few degrees "cooler" along the coast, warming into the mid to upper 80s by mid week. Mostly dry conditions are forecast with no mentionable precip through the extended period.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFs)
Issued at 354 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024
VFR conditions through the TAF period. Onshore winds increase to around 12 KT with gusts up to 20 KT possible behind the sea breeze this afternoon. Isolated showers have formed on the sea breeze (mainly around SFB) this afternoon, with additional showers possible across the western interior as the sea breeze collision occurs.
However confidence and coverage remains too low to include VCSH/VCTS in the TAF at this time. Winds will then decrease into the evening, becoming light overnight before increasing once again to around 10 KT by mid-morning. The east coast sea breeze is forecast to form once again Friday afternoon and push inland. Model guidance is hinting at some patchy fog across portions of ECFL late tonight and into early Friday, mainly around SFB-DAB. However, confidence is not high enough to include mention in TAFs at this time.
MARINE
Issued at 354 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024
Current-Friday... Favorable boating conditions continue as high pressure remains over the local area. Onshore flow will persist, with speeds generally around 10 KT this afternoon before decreasing to 5-10 KT overnight. The east coast sea breeze is forecast to form in the afternoon, increasing the winds to around 10-15 KT. Seas 2- 3ft. Isolated showers will be possible today, mainly in the offshore waters. A lightning storm or two can not be ruled out. Dry conditions expected on Friday.
Saturday-Tuesday...Favorable boating conditions continue. Southeast flow around 10-15 kts backs east along the coast each afternoon as a seabreeze develops. Southeast winds begin to shift south Monday night as a high pressure axis settles across the waters. Seas of 2-3 ft persist through the period. Isolated to scattered showers and isolated lightning storms are forecast through the weekend, drying Monday and Tuesday afternoon.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 327 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024
Min RH values between 40-45% are forecast through this weekend across the interior, with higher values for coastal areas. Drier conditions are forecast next week, as min RH once again falls to around 35% for much of the area by mid-week. Isolated lightning storms will be possible today well inland, with additional chances this weekend. However, widespread beneficial rainfall is not forecast through the next 7 days, so further fuel drying is expected. High temperatures will climb to well above normal through the period, with highs today in the mid-80s along the coast and upper 80s to near 90 over the interior increasing to as high as the lower to mid-90s next week.
