SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 1215 PM EST Sat Dec 7 2024
The decaying cold front has passed through South Florida as of this morning with winds having shifted out of the north. Surface high pressure will build in over the southeastern United States as the day progresses, veering winds to a northeasterly direction and creating increased breeziness thanks to a tighter pressure gradient.
Drier and cooler air in the wake of the front will provide for a rain-free weekend. Maximum temperatures on Saturday will be a few degrees cooler ranging from the mid to upper 70s. Most areas will cool down into the 50s on Saturday night/Sunday morning except for the east coast urban heat island which will remain in the 60s as the surface wind flow begins to gain an easterly component off the Atlantic. Temperatures on Sunday will be a few degrees warmer than Saturday with highs in the upper 70s across most of the area.
LONG TERM
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 232 AM EST Sat Dec 7 2024
A mid-level low is advancing the eastern two-thirds of the United States Sunday into Monday morning. Through the day on Monday, the low will be reabsorbed back into the deamplifying longwave trough which will cause the surface boundary to stall around the northern Gulf coast until another mid-level impulse goes from South Texas to the Carolinas Monday into Tuesday. A warming and moistening trend will take hold across South Florida through mid- week. The front will enter Florida's panhandle but struggle to reach the peninsula until an amplifying longwave trough moves across the central United States on Wednesday. The front will move east across the peninsula by Thursday with the potential of cooler, drier air in its wake if it is able to clear the area fully.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1215 PM EST Sat Dec 7 2024
VFR conditions will generally prevail through the 18Z TAF cycle.
Winds shifting to the NE around 10 kts with gusts to 20 kts this afternoon and evening. NE winds continue tonight and tomorrow at 5-10 kts, though may shift more ENE later tomorrow.
MARINE
Issued at 1215 PM EST Sat Dec 7 2024
Increasing wind speeds in the wake of the cold front this morning will bring cautionary conditions across the Atlantic and Gulf waters this weekend. Conditions should improve late in the weekend into early next week.
BEACHES
Issued at 1215 PM EST Sat Dec 7 2024
There is a high risk for rip currents today along the Atlantic beaches of South Florida as onshore flow increases. This elevated rip current risk will linger through the early to middle portions of next week.
