New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 209 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

South Florida remains entrenched in a fairly zonal upper geopotential height regime, with polar front jet stream and associated mid-latitude disturbances displaced well north of the region. As a result, little to no change in the weather regime is expected for today.
Expect mild and dry conditions to continue, with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies prevailing through the day. Maximum temperatures will range from the upper 70s (east coast) into the mid 80s (interior and west coast), with overnight lows ranging from the 60s to around 70 degrees.

Thursday will remain largely unchanged in terms of the expected weather regime, with the main story being a tightened pressure gradient near the surface. This will result in an uptick in wind speeds, particularly along the east coasts where gusts up to 20-25 mph will be possible. Otherwise, dry and temperate conditions prevail. Little to no fluctuation in temperatures, with afternoon high temperatures in the low to mid 80s, and overnight lows ranging from the 60s to 70 degrees.

LONG TERM
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 209 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

Upper-level ridging and a prevailing surface high will dominate the regional weather pattern, maintaining mostly dry and seasonable conditions throughout the period. A tightened pressure gradient near the surface will promote breezy easterly winds, particularly along the immediate Atlantic coast where wind gusts may range from 25-30 mph at times. Isolated showers may traverse the local Atlantic waters and the East Coast over the weekend due to low- level moisture advection, with the Probability of Precipitation (PoPs) limited to around 15-20%. Easterly winds will contribute to warmer temperatures, particularly in the southwest, where afternoon highs are anticipated to reach the mid to upper 80s.
Along the East Coast, temperatures will be moderated by the easterly breeze, with expected highs in the low 80s.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 646 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

VFR conditions will prevail through the period. Light E/NE winds this morning will trend easterly by the afternoon with speeds 10-15 KTs and occasional gusts up to 20 KTs. Gulf westerly breeze at KAPF in the afternoon by 18Z-20Z. Light and variable winds overnight at all TAF sites.

MARINE
Issued at 209 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

Hazardous marine conditions have largely tapered off compared to prior days, though choppy seas may still be present - particularly over the Atlantic waters adjacent to Palm Beach County. Mostly benign conditions are expected Wednesday through Friday, with moderate to fresh easterly breezes expected. Seas in the Atlantic will subside to 2-4 ft for the middle to end of the week, while seas in the Gulf will be 2 ft or less. Hazardous conditions will return late Friday and into the weekend as easterly flow strengthens.

BEACHES
Issued at 209 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

A high risk for rip currents will continue across all Atlantic beaches today and potential linger through the week and into the upcoming weekend owing to the presence of onshore flow.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 209 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

Minimum relative humidity values below 35 percent are possible today over portions of Interior SW Florida, in addition to the Significant Fire Potential Forecast being in the orange category.
However winds should remain well below Red Flag Criteria through the day as easterly flow weakens relative to previous days.
