SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Tuesday)
Issued at 1151 AM EDT Mon Apr 28 2025
Surface high pressure will remain situated over the western Atlantic waters in this early week period while a deep-layer ridge amplifies over the southeast United States and most of the Eastern Seaboard. A little further offshore, a deep trough is present and its axis will extend down to the edge of the ridge, which will allow for a subtle shortwave at the bottom of the trough axis to develop. Timing is aligned well between this shortwave and the ridge's progression that the shortwave will propagate north to south along the ridge. As the shortwave continues its progression, a weak backdoor cold front will begin to advect from northeast to southwest across the Florida Peninsula and will provide the lifting mechanism necessary to set the stage for a few bubble-up isolated to scattered showers on Tuesday. The ridge set up will create low-to-mid level flow out of the east, steering convective development away from the east coast and towards the interior and Gulf coast. Convection would be expected to first initialize along the Atlantic coast before enhancing as easterly flow (and the backdoor front) steers it further east. With that being said, plentiful dry air will remain present aloft along with a dry layer near the surface (evidenced by inverted-V model soundings), which will attempt to inhibit increasing/stronger convective activity. However, latest CAMs data (HRRR, RAFS, WRF-ARW, and RAP) continues to show increased showers in the afternoon hours during peak heating and when convergence will be strongest along the Gulf breeze. Therefore, mostly isolated to scattered shower activity (PoPs 30-40%) is forecast for tomorrow with highest PoPs occurring along the frontal boundary in its progression. Can't rule out a couple of isolated thunderstorms, but given the dry air presence the greatest chance for a thunderstorm will be for the Gulf coast areas as a result of the low level convergence along the Gulf breeze.
Overall, dry weather will be maintained today before isolated to scattered showers develop on Tuesday. Given how dry the vegetation has become across our area and the isolated nature of any rainfall, any rogue lightning strike could potentially spark new wildfires.
Temperatures for today will continue to be mostly in the mid to upper 80s, with the exceptions of the immediate Atlantic and Gulf coasts where low 80s for the Atlantic coast and upper 80s to low 90s for the Gulf coast are forecast under the easterly flow regime. With increasing easterly flow tomorrow, temperatures will likely be a few degrees cooler but will continue to be warmer for the Gulf coast versus the Atlantic coast (upper 80s Gulf coast and upper 70s to low 80s Atlantic coast).
LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 116 AM EDT Mon Apr 28 2025
Like a broken record stuck on repeat, a similar pattern will play out each day for the rest of the work week as easterly flow continues and we remain mostly dry. Deep-layer ridging will remain established across the western Atlantic waters through the end of the week with light synoptic flow aloft. Subsidence and a consequent capping inversion will keep rainfall to a minimum. Outside of a few shallow-level stray showers, the stretch of dry and warmth will continue with drought conditions continuing to worsen. Under the easterly flow, expect highs to be a bit cooler on the east coast than the west, with afternoon temps in the low to mid 80s east and upper 80s to low 90s west.
The propagation of a mid-level trough across the central United States late in the week into the first half of the weekend may usher in the next weak frontal boundary into the region with moisture pooling along this boundary as entrenched deep layer ridging finally erodes for the time being. While it remains to be seen as this solution remain several days out, this may be the next opportunity for measurable rain across our region.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1151 AM EDT Mon Apr 28 2025
Mainly VFR conditions expected through the 18Z TAF period. Winds will be easterly at 10-15 kts with gusts around 20 kts this afternoon, along with a westerly Gulf breeze developing at APF this afternoon. Winds will lighten up a little overnight but remain out of the east at 5-10 kts. Chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms increase tomorrow with changes for sub-VFR CIGs at times.
MARINE
Issued at 1151 AM EDT Mon Apr 28 2025
Easterly winds will enhance across area waters beginning on Tuesday as a frontal boundary moves through the region. A prolonged period of cautionary conditions for small craft may materialize across the Atlantic waters during the middle portion of the week with periods of cautionary conditions also occurring across the local gulf waters. Seas will build to 5-6 feet across the Gulfstream waters during the second half of Tuesday and persist into Wednesday morning. Waves will remain in the 2-3 feet range across the Gulf waters during the mid-week period.
BEACHES
Issued at 1151 AM EDT Mon Apr 28 2025
A high risk of rip currents will prevail at Palm Beach county beaches today with a moderate risk of rip currents remaining across Broward and Miami-Dade beaches. As easterly flow enhances on Tuesday, the high risk of rip currents will expand to all east coast beaches and continue for the rest of the work week.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 116 AM EDT Mon Apr 28 2025
Although winds will remain light across inland locales this afternoon, relative humidity values will drop to near or just below critical levels (low to mid 30s) across inland southwestern Florida.
This may result in enhanced fire behavior as vegetation remains quite dry across these areas. Closer to both coasts, relative humidity values will remain well above thresholds as onshore flow moderates relative humidity values as sea-breezes move inland.
