Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for North Bay Village, FL

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 303 AM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025

Throughout the weekend, the forecast will continue to be heavily influenced by the strong Atlantic surface high, as well as the mid level ridging and high pressure. These atmospheric features will prevent much needed moisture with model guidance forecasting approximately 60-70% of normal precipitable water and afternoon dew points in the low 60s in South Florida. Therefore, even with the easterly breeze and warm temperatures, conditions are expected to remain dry and stable throughout the weekend and into next week.
There will be a slow warming trend bringing high temperatures into the mid-to-upper 80s across a majority of the region, with a potential for abnormal near 90 across SW Florida by Sunday.
Overnight temperatures will be cool and comfortable, with outgoing longwave radiation and little sky coverage, allowing for lows to drop into the 60s, except low 70s along the east coast. With very dry air and very dry fuels regionwide, winds and RH values will be watched carefully as the conditions will be prime for ignition and rapid burns.

As we move into early to mid next week, the west Atlantic high will maintain a stronghold of our weather with dry and stable conditions continuing. Pressure gradients tighten which will lead to potential for windy conditions across the east coast metro and Atlantic waters. There will not be a sufficient increase in the moisture levels with the air mass still projected to be too dry for precipitation. Temperatures will continue to reach the mid 80s to low 90s in the afternoon for a majority of the region - slightly cooler in the east coast metro. Low temperatures will drop into the 60s, except for low 70s across the east coast.
