Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 213 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

New LONG TERM

SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 1214 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Models show high pressure/mid level ridging dominating the weather pattern across the region. The ridge gradually shifts eastward through the weekend with overall subsidence and dry conditions prevailing. Afternoon temperatures will again range from the lower 80s near the east coast to the mid to upper 80s over interior areas. An isolated shower or two can't be totally ruled out over the interior this afternoon, mainly along sea breeze boundaries, but chances remain very low. Given the light flow and dry airmass, another seasonably cool night can be expected tonight with lows generally in the 60s.

Reinforcing high pressure is seen in models arriving on Friday, which will increase pressure gradients across Soflo. This will result in increasing easterly winds and thus a weakening of the Gulf breeze circulation. Temperatures will remain similar over the east coast (although dewpoints will slightly increase), but slightly increase over the western half of the area, but should remain seasonable overall. Given the continued influence of mid-lvl ridging, rainfall is once again not expected.

LONG TERM
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 212 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Mid to upper level ridging establishes itself over the eastern half of the country this weekend into early next week. A strong surface high will remain over the western Atlantic, building westward during the early portion of the week which will keep breezy easterly winds through the period. The surface pressure gradient will begin to weaken during the early to middle portion of next week which should allow breezy conditions to begin to relax. Dry conditions will prevail through the period outside of a few shallow stray showers that may manage to develop in the brisk easterly flow. Temperatures will be characteristic of a strong easterly regime with the warmest highs (generally upper 80s) over the Interior/west coast with cooler highs (generally low to mid 80s) over the east coast. The reverse will be true with overnight lows with milder readings (low 70s) over the east coast and 60s over the Interior/west coast.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 110 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

VFR continues at all terminals during the next 24 hours. Easterly winds become generally light tonight, then becoming breezy with periods of gusts in the 20-23kt range Friday afternoon.

MARINE
Issued at 1214 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Current benign boating conditions will continue tonight as the moderate easterly winds become light and variable. Then on Friday, winds will increase and remain breezy through the weekend as strong high pressure north of the area builds southward.

BEACHES
Issued at 1214 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

A high risk of rip currents remains in effect for the Palm Beach coastline, and it is expected to expand into the rest of the Atlantic beaches this afternoon and through the weekend as easterly flow increases.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 141 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

The dry airmass will remain in place through the end of the week over portions of Interior and SW Florida as generally easterly flow continues to prevail. Minimum RHs below 40% can be expected over these portions of the area through Friday, with localized values approaching 35% this afternoon. Although fuels will remain dry (the Significant Fire Potential Forecast remains in the orange category), winds should remain below fire weather headline criteria through the period.
