12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

DISCUSSION .
Short Term (Today through Wednesday) . Monday will be another warm, sunny day with light southeasterly surface wind flow provided courtesy of Atlantic high pressure. Aloft, a mid-level high stretches across a good portion of the Gulf of Mexico and the Greater Antilles. For today, this means another potential for records to be threatened, particularly at Naples where the record for today is only 88 degrees. The east coast climate sites should benefit from a sea breeze before peak diurnal heating but the records for them sit in the lower 90s for today.
The pattern begins to shift tonight as the next low pressure system emerges over the southern plains. A mid-level trough will progress eastward through the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee River valleys by Tuesday's conclusion. This will cause the surface high pressure in the Atlantic to retreat eastward and push the mid-level high's influence southward. With this, the surface flow will turn southwesterly and pick up as the gradient tightens ahead of the approaching front.
Temperatures on Tuesday will be a few degrees cooler in Southwest Florida but Southeast Florida could still see temperatures in the upper 80s as the southeasterly flow pattern gives the airmass plenty of time over the peninsula to warm during the heating of the day. Rain chances will also begin to increase late Tuesday into Wednesday as the available moisture increases and the atmospheric features in play across the region arrive. The main feature of interest is the front that will enter the region Tuesday night and push into the Atlantic by the end of Wednesday. Timing of the front has been trending a bit faster lately, but kept some PoPs in longer with this forecast than guidance due to some uncertainty with the timing and characteristics of the parent mid-level feature that could impact the timing of frontal passage for South Florida.
Shower and thunderstorm chances remain in the forecast. While widespread thunderstorms are not anticipated, we will continue to keep an eye on the timing and characteristics of the different synoptic and mesoscale features which could come into play with this frontal passage. One of those features is the amplitude of the mid- level trough and how far south it ends up developing to. The surface low that develops and eventually pushes into the Atlantic off the Carolinas is another feature which could evolve in the forecast and a more southerly track could produce a higher chance of thunderstorms for our region. Diving into the smaller features, any remnant boundaries that may be lingering or the coastal influences along the Atlantic coast could also serve to enhance convection and permit thunderstorms.
Long Term (Wednesday night through Sunday):
Although model solutions have accelerated somewhat the progression of the frontal boundary on Wednesday, a few showers could still linger over the southern-most portions of SoFlo in its wake. Minimal POPS will be kept for Wed evening for those locations, then drier air advection begins across the region with winds acquiring a northerly component behind the FROPA.
Expect another round of drier, cooler and more stable air settling across the area on Thursday with highs in the low-mid 80s by Friday. For the weekend, long range models are becoming more consistent in depicting another, stronger trough system over the SE CONUS, which sends a couple of short wave impulses aloft across the area. POPS increase on Saturday with moisture advection brought by winds veering to the SSE ahead of a front, but in the 20-30 percent range attm. Then for Sunday, a secondary stronger impulse may push POPS into the 30-40 percent range, and with slightly better upper level support for a few storms to develop. But the overall expected scenario for the weekend will continue to evolve with each model run and timing/coverage/potential impacts will surely be adjusted as necessary.
MARINE . High pressure will be in place across the waters through Monday with generally light SE flow in place and turning onshore near the coast each afternoon. The ridge will shift south on Tuesday, with a cold front moving through the waters Tuesday night/Wednesday, increasing winds a bit and turning them from the S/SW to the NW behind the front. High pressure then builds through the end of the week, with winds quickly returning to the E/SE with afternoon sea breezes. No headlines are expected.
FIRE WEATHER . Humidities will be marginal today, but continuing to increase across the area. No concerns through Tuesday.
