SHORT TERM
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 215 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Persistent ridging over the Gulf of Mexico will begin to erode today as a broad mid-level trough moves across the southeastern US. As this happens, a weakening "cool" front will move across the Deep South and approach the Florida peninsula today, potentially reaching central FL by Sunday evening. The main immediate impact of this development will be a gradual wind shift from SE to S across South FL, which will help maintain warm air advection and moisture return over the area and thus result in another handful of very warm days over the region. Temperatures this afternoon and tomorrow could reach the low-mid 90s over the interior and southwest FL. Areas near the coasts could benefit from sea breeze processes and somewhat milder temperatures in the mid-upper 80s each afternoon. A few brief showers could develop over the interior as the breezes push in each afternoon, but kept PoPs capped at 20% as the signal is still pretty weak.

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 215 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

The aforementioned "cool" front will continue its trek along the FL peninsula on Monday, potentially reaching South FL by nightfall. The best dynamic support will most likely remain well north of the area with the boundary reaching the area basically as a frontolytic feature, which would support mostly scattered showers to accompany this boundary. However, some model solutions do show a subtle mid-level shortwave that could move over the region during peak daytime heating along with the boundary, which could support an isolated thunderstorm threat, mainly over the Lake Okeechobee/Palm Beach county region. Models still show the decaying front stalling out somewhere over the region and lingering through mid week, and keeping slight chances of showers across the region each day.

With increased moisture and warm advection over the area, temperatures through the period will remain warm across the area, with highs consistently reaching the mid to upper 80s along the coasts and the lower 90s across the interior sections.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 151 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Generally VFR through the period with light southeasterly flow.
Sea breeze development is anticipated with onshore flow possible at APF. If any convection were to develop today, the rain focus would be inland of the terminals.

MARINE
Issued at 215 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Gentle southeasterly winds will prevail across all local waters today as a surface high over the western Atlantic continues to shift eastward. Winds will then begin to shift out of the south on Sunday ahead of a frontal approach. A Gulf Breeze could develop each afternoon across the resulting in more WSW winds over the near-shore Gulf waters. Seas will generally remain 2 feet or less.

BEACHES
Issued at 215 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

A moderate rip current threat could be possible for Palm Beach county beaches through the end of the week.
