SHORT TERM
(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 207 AM EST Wed Nov 29 2023
Wednesday will see the drier air remain over the Florida Peninsula and northerly winds keeping cooler air in place as we are essentially due south of the surface high pressure center in the southeastern U.S. As this surface high advects eastward into the Atlantic on Thursday, winds will shift to an easterly direction and we will start to see some moisture returning due to a mid-to-upper level ridge amplifying and starting to push northward from the Caribbean. With the region still being dominated by high pressure and most of the deeper moisture advection holding off until near the weekend, both Wednesday and Thursday are expected to stay dry but with increasing cloud cover on Thursday. Temperatures will stay on the cooler side in the 70s for Wednesday and then increase on Thursday into the low 80s as warm air advection begins.
LONG TERM
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 207 AM EST Wed Nov 29 2023
High pressure centered off to the north will continue to shift into the western Atlantic through the end of the week. While mainly dry conditions will continue through Friday, this will cause the wind to gradually shift and become east southeasterly during this time frame. The wind shift will also usher in a warming trend as high temperatures will rise into the upper 70s to around 80 on Thursday. Friday's high temperatures will rise into the lower 80s across the east coast to the mid 80s across interior portions of Southwest Florida.
Heading into the upcoming weekend, a mid level ridge will push northward towards the region from the Carribean. This will allow for the east to southeasterly wind flow to continue along with the warming trend with temperatures. At the same time, a frontal boundary will slowly push through the Southeastern portion of the country and into Northern and Central Florida on Saturday and Sunday. While South Florida will remain in the warm sector throughout the weekend, moisture advection will be taking place during this time frame. While many areas will remain dry through the weekend, there will be a slight chance of showers along the breeze mainly over eastern areas. High temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will generally range from the mid 80s along the east coast to the upper 80s over interior portions of Southwest Florida.
The latest guidance remains in disagreement with handling the timing and intensity of the front off to the north early next week. While models generally agree in pushing the front through South Florida, the timing differences are still rather significant as some of the models push it through on Monday, and others push it through a day or two later. Since this is towards the end of the forecast period combined with the disagreement in guidance, uncertainty remains rather high for this time frame. The latest forecast takes a blend of the models and keeps a slight chance of showers in the forecast for early next week with warm temperatures continuing. This will continue to be monitored as the week progresses.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 609 AM EST Wed Nov 29 2023
VFR conditions prevail through the period with mainly dry conditions expected. Northerly winds will begin to veer more northeasterly this evening and easterly by Thursday afternoon.
MARINE
Issued at 207 AM EST Wed Nov 29 2023
A moderate northerly wind flow continues on Wednesday which will shift to an easterly direction on Thursday and eventually southeasterly by Friday. Seas of 3-4ft are expected in the Atlantic for the next couple days and 2-3ft in the Gulf.
BEACHES
Issued at 207 AM EST Wed Nov 29 2023
A moderate risk of rip currents remains in place through Wednesday for the Atlantic beaches, with a high risk likely by the end of the week as the wind flow becomes more easterly.
