New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 248 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
A cold front will be moving across the region today with increasing shower and thunderstorm activity through the morning hours. Radar currently shows the weakening remnants from an MCS moving across the eastern Gulf of Mexico towards the peninsula and the Florida Keys.
Behind this convective activity is the surface front edging forward with a mid-level trough trailing it through the eastern Gulf. While the best support for convection will remain well north of the region, showers and thunderstorms will be possible with the front moving through this morning and afternoon. Thunderstorm chances will be a tad lower than overall rain chances but high enough to warrant mention in the forecast.
As the trough axis clears through later today and begins to lift north, the surface boundary will clear into the Bahamas by tonight allowing drier air to enter the region. While this is a cold front, there is little in the way of cold, continental air behind the boundary. Therefore, South Florida will cool a few degrees compared to previous days but still range from the upper 70s to the lower 80s on Friday afternoon under sunny skies. Overnight lows tonight into Friday morning will drop a few degrees as well with some mid 50s sneaking into inland Southwest Florida and 60s elsewhere along the coasts.
LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 248 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
High pressure builds across the area on Friday, leading to warm and dry conditions through the extended period. The next mentionable POPs come into play during the middle of next week as the next frontal boundary pushes down the Florida peninsula on Wednesday.
A warming trend will begin Saturday as the surface high settles in and high temperatures rise into the 80s by Sunday. Temperatures continue to rise through week as afternoon highs may reach the low 90s across much of the region by Wednesday. Overnight lows will warm as well, but with mostly clear skies, much of the region will still cool into the upper 50s (interior/Lake O) and 60s elsewhere.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 131 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Deteriorating conditions ahead of the approaching cold front.
Sub-VFR possible early this morning with a rain shield moving into Southwest Florida. The main convective activity will move through later in this morning into the afternoon with the front clearing through by the evening and the wind shifting out of the W to NW and then NNW. Short-fused AMDs will likely be needed for sub-VFR TEMPOs including for bouts of IFR/LIFR.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 725 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Breezy southerly to southwesterly winds this morning ahead of the passage of a cold front. There is a chance for VCSH and potential sub- VFR conditions at all sites around noon as the front drops through, but impacts to the terminals have been trending down.
Winds will veer from the W to NW, then from the NNW this evening once the front clears the area.
MARINE
Issued at 248 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Hazardous marine conditions remain across the local waters with a moderate to fresh southeasterly to southerly breeze. In the wake of the frontal passage today, hazardous conditions will return across all local waters with potential gusts to gale force and seas of 7 to 10 feet.
BEACHES
Issued at 248 AM EDT Thu Mar 28 2024
A high risk of rip currents remains in effect for all South Florida beaches today as a cold front moves across the region. The Atlantic beaches high risk will likely persist through much of the remainder of this week. The Gulf beaches will see their rip current risk diminish to close out the week.
