Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 228 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, BEACHES

SHORT TERM
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 226 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Warm and dry conditions will continue through the short term period as broad upper-level ridging and a weak surface high remain in place over the region. Gradual moisture return and warm air advection will continue as gentle southeasterly winds prevail, enhancing warming across the region. Sea breezes along both the Atlantic and Gulf coast will help moderate the heat some each afternoon, but high temperatures could still reach the upper 80s and even the lower 90s each day, especially over the interior/southwest FL. Temperatures along the immediate coasts will remain in the low-mid 80s.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 226 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Rain chances return to the forecast during the extended period as the weather regime changes and a frontal boundary approaches the region early next week. Model guidance suggests this boundary will become frontolytic in its approach as it loses support from the upper-level pattern. Ahead of its approach on Sunday and Monday, southerly winds should help enhance boundary layer moisture over the region. Once it reaches South Florida, some guidance shows the boundary stalling out somewhere over the region through the middle of the week, which could provide just enough lift to support a chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms through this time period. The highest chances of showers and storms still look to remain over the Lake Okeechobee region and Palm Beach County, but this could change over time as this solution remains highly uncertain.

With increased moisture and warm advection over the area, temperatures through the period will remain warm across the area, with highs consistently reaching the mid to upper 80s along the coasts and the lower 90s across the interior sections.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 139 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

VFR through the period with light and variable wind overnight.
Wind will pick up out of the SE after sunrise. A Gulf sea breeze will bring westerly to southwesterly flow to APF by the afternoon.
Wind will lighten and become variable after sunset.

MARINE
Issued at 226 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Gentle southeasterly winds will prevail across all local waters to wrap up the week as a surface high over the western Atlantic continues to shift eastward. Seas will generally remain 2 feet or less.

BEACHES
Issued at 226 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

A moderate rip current threat could be possible for Palm Beach county beaches through the end of the week.
