AMZ600 Synopsis For Jupiter Inlet To Ocean Reef Fl Out To 60 Nm And For East Cape Sable To Bonita Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 932 Am Est Mon Mar 8 2021
Synopsis.. High pressure will continue to build across the southeastern seaboard and western atlantic waters, remaining centered to the northeast of the region. This will allow for a tight pressure gradient to continue across the south florida local waters, resulting in breezy northeast to east winds and elevated seas through mid to late this week.
Gulf stream hazards..SEas of 8 to 11 feet and hazardous winds through early week. The approximate location of the west wall of the gulf stream as of mar 06, 2021 at 1200 utc... 5 nautical miles east southeast of fowey rocks. 11 nautical miles east southeast of port everglades. 8 nautical miles east southeast of lake worth. 10 nautical miles east southeast of jupiter inlet.

PREV DISCUSSION. (Issued 343 AM EST Mon Mar 8 2021)
DISCUSSION .
Short term (Today through Tuesday):
Main Points:
1) A Wind Advisory is in effect until 7 AM EST for the east coastal areas of South Florida. An extension may become necessary, though confidence in meeting this criteria is low at this time.
2) Issued a High Surf Advisory for Palm Beach County for today, where surf heights will be 7 feet or greater. Rough surf will be possible across the remaining east coast beaches today, though confidence in meeting Advisory criteria is low at this time.
3) Small Craft Advisories remain in effect for all local waters due to hazardous conditions for small craft operators. A High Risk of Rip Currents remains in effect for all east coast beaches of South Florida, and has been extended through Wednesday due to persistently enhanced onshore flow and swells.
High pressure will continue to build across the southeastern seaboard today prior to translating eastward into the western Atlantic waters on Tuesday. South Florida will remain along the southern periphery of this air mass, where a tight pressure gradient will continue to result in breezy NE to ENE winds and associated hazardous marine and beach conditions (see Marine and Beach sections below).
In addition, the transverse ageostrophic circulation accompanying a passing westerly upper-level jet streak is supporting an enhancement to the lower-tropospheric flow across South Florida and the local waters. This will allow for 20 to 25 knot winds in boundary layer to mix down to the surface during diurnal heating/boundary-layer mixing this afternoon, resulting in gusty conditions (especially across the east coast metros). We will need to monitor these conditions for a potential extension to the current Wind Advisory (valid until 7 AM EST), though confidence in meeting/exceeding this criteria is low at this time.
The breezy surface winds off the Atlantic waters combined with the aforementioned enhancement to the upper boundary layer flow will provide weak localized mesoscale ascent across the Atlantic waters and eastern half of South Florida today, where partly to mostly cloudy skies and passing sprinkles will be possible. This activity should remain generally brief, with minimal impacts anticipated.
Long Term (Tuesday Night through Sunday):
Models depict broad and deep high pressure centered around the western Atlantic just NE of the state. This will keep SoFlo under a persisting regime of ENE winds, becoming breezy at times, through the long term period. The stronger winds will be the result of tightening pressure gradients along the southern edge of the sfc ridge. Coastal areas along the Atlantic side will experience the strongest gusts, mainly during the afternoon hours each day. Generally dry weather is expected to prevail through the weekend, with model sounding data keeping PWATs under 1 inch, and depicting very mid level dry air in place. Any showers that do form will likely be advected over land by the ENE winds, and should be very brief.
Temperatures are expected to remain close to, or at normals through Wed/Thu, then warming up above normals for the weekend. Afternoon highs will likely be in the 70s Wed/Thu, then reaching the low-mid 80s on friday, and climbing into the mid-upper 80s by Sunday.
BEACHES .
Breezy onshore flow and increasing northeasterly swells will continue to result in hazardous rip currents across all east coast beaches of South Florida. In addition, high surf is forecast across the Palm Beaches (7 feet or greater), where a High Surf Advisory is in effect until Monday evening. The remaining east coast beaches of South Florida may experience locally rough surf, though conditions appear to remain below advisory thresholds. We will be monitoring for the potential for localized coastal flooding and beach erosion along the east coast beaches due to the persistent onshore winds and swells.
MARINE .
High pressure will continue to build across the southeastern seaboard and western Atlantic waters, remaining centered to the northeast of the region. This will allow for a tight pressure gradient to continue across the South Florida local waters, resulting in breezy northeast to east winds and elevated seas through mid to late this week. Anticipate wave heights of 8 to 11 feet and periodic Gale force wind gusts across the Atlantic waters today. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect for all local waters through Tuesday morning, and extensions may become necessary -- especially across the Atlantic waters. Winds and seas should gradually subside from mid to late week.
