New UPDATE, AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 658 AM EST Fri Dec 1 2023
The forecast for today remains in good shape, with no updates planned this morning.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 129 AM EST Fri Dec 1 2023
The mid-to-upper level ridge will continue to amplify today and the first half of the weekend, which will create increased moisture and warm air advection from the south in the process, but due to the pattern being dominated by the ridge, very limited showers are expected. Nevertheless, there will be the chance for some isolated shower activity for the next couple days because of the moisture influx. Winds will be out of the southeast today and veer further to the S/SSE on Saturday as the positioning of the offshore surface high changes. Overall, quiet weather still persists through the first half of the weekend. Temperatures will be primarily in the mid 80s across South Florida today and Saturday with a few spots potentially hitting the upper 80s on Saturday.
LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 129 AM EST Fri Dec 1 2023
By the second half of the weekend, the mid level ridge will gradually start to flatten out as a mid level trough moves into the Southeastern portion of the country. At the surface, high pressure will continue to push further into the western Atlantic as a cold front slowly pushes through the Southeast and into Northern Florida by the end of the weekend. This will allow for South Florida to remain in the warm sector on both Saturday and Sunday with southeasterly flow on Saturday gradually veering to the south-southwest on Sunday. As moisture advection proceeds through the weekend, isolated shower activity cannot be ruled out mainly over the east coast as well as the Atlantic waters during this time frame. With winds veering and becoming south- southwesterly, high temperatures will soar into the mid to upper 80s across most areas both Saturday and Sunday.
For early next week, the weakening frontal boundary will approach and move through South Florida as Monday progresses. With the best dynamics and mid to upper level support remaining well off to the north, there will only be a slight chance of shower activity out ahead of the front as it pushes through. Behind the front, winds will become northerly and cold air advection begins to take place allowing for cooler and drier air to move into the region Monday night into Tuesday. High temperatures out ahead of the front on Monday will rise into the lower 80s, however, cooler temperatures will move into the region Monday night into Tuesday.
For the middle of the week, the latest ensemble guidance is hinting at the potential of a deeper trough digging into the Eastern Seaboard with the possibility of a stronger cold front approaching the region. Uncertainty remains high in the forecast during this time frame as guidance remains in disagreement with the timing and strength of the front as it approaches the region.
With this being at the end of the forecast period, this also adds to the uncertainty in the forecast during this time frame. This will continue to be monitored as the week progresses.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 658 AM EST Fri Dec 1 2023
VFR with ESE flow will prevail at all terminals.
MARINE
Issued at 129 AM EST Fri Dec 1 2023
Benign conditions are expected over the next few days. Calm seas and slightly breezy winds out of the southeast today will shift further to the south-southeast on Saturday and eventually southerly/south-southwesterly on Sunday. There will be chances for a few showers but no thunderstorms for the next few days.
BEACHES
Issued at 129 AM EST Fri Dec 1 2023
A moderate risk of rip currents will continue today and throughout the weekend for the Atlantic beaches.
