GMZ600 758 Pm Cdt Mon Apr 29 2024
Synopsis - A wake low is developing near the louisiana/mississippi coast this evening. Winds are expected to briefly increase to around 20 to 30 knots as the wake low pulls northeastward over the next few hours. Winds will decrease during the morning hours with a light southwesterly flow anticipated by tomorrow afternoon. High pressure passing over the area midweek will lead light and variable winds on Wednesday. A light onshore flow will then persist over the marine area for the latter half of the week.

SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1219 PM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

South Florida remains on the periphery of surface high pressure centered over the western Atlantic coast off the Carolinas. Aloft, a ridge will shift eastward as a trough enters the southeastern United States. The easterly to southeasterly wind flow will continue but with the gradient diminishing as the high weakens and the trough moves closer, the speed will also diminish.

Shallow showers are the main convection today though a Gulf sea breeze could enable some more stout convection over parts of Southwest Florida this afternoon. Thunderstorm chances are too low to mention but will increase by Tuesday afternoon thanks in part to the mid-level support, the sea breeze development, and the available moisture.

Temperatures will peak in the 80s with lower 80s along the Atlantic coast and upper 80s across Southwest Florida. The overnight low will be in the 60s except for lower to mid 70s across the east coast metro areas.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 241 PM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

Models show good agreement in having a mid level ridge gradually migrating from the eastern seaboard and into the western Atlantic, while sfc high pressure remains in control of the area weather to start the long term. As the mid level ridge moves further away from the region, pressure gradients across the area will relax and allow for the breezy periods to subside. Meanwhile, low-lvl winds across SoFlo gradually veer SE by this time, allowing for a very modest moisture advection to briefly raise chances of rain into the teens to low 20s, mainly over the east coast and interior areas. But showers in general will remain very limited through the long term as relatively dry/stable air stays in place.

Afternoon high temperatures through Wednesday are expected to reach the low-mid 80s near the coasts, and upper 80s to around 90 inland.
Then by the end of the work week, the mid level ridge strengthens and drives high temperatures into the upper 80s near the coasts and low 90s inland.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 728 PM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

Light easterly flow continues overnight as scattered SHRA activity develops over the nearshore Atlantic waters and moves inland.
Maintained VCSH throughout the TAF forecast period with the potential of brief MVFR cigs if a shower directly impacts a terminal. More robust convection is possible across inland South Florida tomorrow afternoon but should remain across inland areas.

MARINE
Issued at 1219 PM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

Conditions will continue to improve today as winds and seas gradually decrease. Calmer conditions should return for the middle of this week.

BEACHES
Issued at 1219 PM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

A high risk of rip currents will linger across the Atlantic beaches through mid week. Conditions may start to improve towards the end of the week as onshore flow decreases, however, the rip current risk may potentially remain elevated during this time frame.
