New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, BEACHES

SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 204 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

The region remains situated in the warm sector between a cold front moving through the Gulf of Mexico and an area of surface high pressure centered over the western Caribbean. As the weekend continues, a mid-level shortwave trough will push into the Great Lakes with an associated surface low off the northeastern United States coast. The cold front will advance into the peninsula pinching the Caribbean high back. Right now it appears that the moisture will not be sufficient enough to support widespread convection but a sea breeze on Sunday afternoon could develop and move inland of the Atlantic capable of supporting some shower activity. Besides shallow showers, the surface moisture can also support fog formation again overnight into Sunday morning.
Temperatures remain warm with mid to upper 80s on Sunday afternoon.

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 204 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

By Monday, a weakening front is expected to pass through our region. Although the southern parts of the area wont experience much change in humidity or temperature (i.e. negative Theta-E advection), northern areas can expect a slight decrease in dewpoints and temperatures following the front. Isolated showers may occur near the lake region, but overall, the fronts passage should be predominantly dry across most areas given how far displaced the sfc. front will be from its mid-lvl/upper-lvl support.

We will see some modest cooling (generally to near to just above seasonal normals) on Tuesday behind the front, with a reinforcing front then expected on Wednesday. Behind this second boundary a brief shot of very dry (PWATs down below 0.4 inches, and dewpoints in the 30s and 40s) and cool air is expected to filter into the area late Wednesday into Wednesday night from the N-NW. Overnight lows Thursday morning may be some of the coolest of the season so far with 40s near the Lake and 50s elsewhere (with the 10kts or so of wind making for a chilly night by SFL standards).

The high to the north should quickly shift east Thursday-Friday resulting in winds veering, and the onshore component of the winds should moderate overnight lows beyond Thursday AM. That being said the cool airmass, characterized by 850 temps < 10C (i.e. < the 10th percentile for early December) will keep high temperatures slightly below normal Wednesday through Friday, with forecast highs generally in the low to mid 70s.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1255 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

Generally VFR through the period though some overnight/early morning fog/low cigs could intermittently impact terminals like TMB and APF with sub-VFR conditions. Short-fused AMDs to add sub- MVFR TEMPOs cannot be ruled out. A generally southerly to southeasterly flow today will become light and somewhat variable overnight. Wind will pick up out of the southwest and west though an Atlantic sea breeze could develop.

MARINE
Issued at 204 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

Benign conditions are expected over the next few days. Calm seas and slightly breezy winds that will shift more southerly through the weekend. Rain chances return late Sunday to early Monday over the Atlantic waters. Winds will increase and turn northerly behind a series of quick moving cold fronts next week.

BEACHES
Issued at 204 PM EST Sat Dec 2 2023

A moderate risk of rip currents will continue through the weekend for the Atlantic beaches.
