SHORT TERM
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 109 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

A meager frontal boundary will slide across the region later today in tandem with the arrival of a weak shortwave aloft and an envelope of deeper surface moisture (Precipitable water values of 1.4-1.6 inches). Easterly flow will enhance behind the boundary as a pressure gradient develops as a ridge of high pressure builds in, resulting in breezy easterly winds and an onshore component that will provide enough low-level boundary moisture for quick moving isolated to scattered showers along the eastern half of the region during the morning hours before shifting to the gulf coast during the afternoon hours. The gulf-breeze boundary may aide in the development of a few isolated thunderstorms via maximized localized ascent. Forecast model soundings show some marginal instability (1000-2000 J/kg CAPE) and steep low level lapse rates of -8 to -9 C/km, however there will still be a decent amount of low level dry air to contend with which could act to stifle most updrafts. The CAMs (HRRR, RAFS, RAP, WRF, etc) continue to show very different levels of spatial coverage this afternoon so there remains some uncertainty on what exactly will materialize. The latest HRRR shows minimal coverage as opposed to the RRFS which has a much more active convective evolution. Hence why it is important to focus on the underlying meteorology and not try to "pin the tail" on the model solution that could be right. While rainfall totals area-wide don't appear to be too impressive, there could be some higher totals under a more persistent core that develops along a boundary interaction.

Stronger easterly flow will result in slightly cooler temperatures across the region today as high temps will range from the low 80s across most of the east coast metro (upper 70s even possible along the immediate east coast) to temperatures in the upper 80s across southwestern Florida.

Behind the frontal boundary, deep-layer ridging will settle in across the region as the ridge axis remains entrenched across the western Atlantic waters. Drier precipitable water values advecting into the region from the northeast will once again usher a period of dry weather. Subsidence and a consequent capping inversion will keep rainfall to a minimum. A temperature gradient will remain as breezy easterly onshore flow keeps temperatures cool along the east coast (low to mid 80s) with warmer temperatures across the western half of South Florida.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 109 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

Stout deep-layer ridging will prevail for the remainder of the work week with copious amounts of dry air and an easterly breeze that enhances across the region during the daytime hours. Given the continued lack of any synoptic features aloft, the weather regime will once again be dictated by mesoscale processes such as the typical sea-breeze circulations. Winds will veer onshore along the gulf coast each afternoon as easterly flow keeps the gulf sea-breeze boundary over inland southwestern Florida late in the day. Outside of some shallow low-level boundary layer cumulus, benign conditions will be in the forecast for the region.

Anticyclonic mid-level flow begins to break down during the day on Friday as deep-layer ridging begins to slowly erode with surface winds beginning to veer to a light southeasterly to southerly component late on Friday into Saturday morning. This subtle change is due in large part to the next weak surface boundary approaching the region this weekend in tandem with a mid-level trough moving across the eastern half of the United States. As the boundary washes out across the region with a deeper envelope of moisture, mesoscale processes (sea-breezes) will continue to dictate the weather regime each afternoon. Ensemble and deterministic model guidance continues to hint at the potential of a few mid-level impulses rotating around the base of the aforementioned trough and across the region. The combination of deeper moisture, greater instability, and convergent boundaries could potentially set the stage for the next opportunity of measurable rain across the region. This setup is still a few days out and this airmass currently in place has been persistently anhydrous, but perhaps there very well could be light at the end of the tunnel.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1259 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

SCT showers are possible this morning across the east coast terminals and then activity shifts towards the Gulf coast for the afternoon and early evening, with VCTS in at APF after 18Z.
Easterly winds 5-10 kts early this morning becoming E/NE 10-15 kts with gusts of 20-25 kts this afternoon into early evening.

MARINE
Issued at 109 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

Easterly winds will enhance across area waters today as a frontal boundary moves through the region. A prolonged period of cautionary conditions for small craft is forecast across the Atlantic waters through Thursday with periods of cautionary conditions also occurring across the local gulf waters. Seas will build to 5-6 feet across the Gulfstream waters later today and persist into tomorrow morning. Waves will remain in the 2-3 feet range across the Gulf waters through Thursday morning.

BEACHES
Issued at 109 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

A high risk of rip currents will prevail at all east coast beaches today. As breezy to gusty easterly flow continues, the elevated risk of rip currents will continue through Thursday. When in doubt, don't go out!
