New UPDATE, AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 633 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2025
Scattered showers continue this evening especially across the eastern half of South Florida as well as the Atlantic waters.
The showers over the interior areas will gradually diminish as the evening progresses. The latest CAMs suggest that shower activity may linger through the overnight across the Atlantic waters as well as the immediate east coast. With plenty of moisture in place across the lower levels, heavy downpours will still be possible with any shower. Thunder chances remain extremely limited due to an abundance of dry air in the mid to upper levels. As the sky clears out and the wind diminishes overnight, areas of fog will be possible over the interior and western locations. With plenty of lower level moisture in place, some of the fog could become locally dense overnight reducing visibility to a quarter of a mile or less mainly over interior portions of Southwest Florida. Low temperatures tonight will generally range from the lower 60s across the Lake Okeechobee region to the upper 60s across the east coast metro areas.
SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Wednesday)
Issued at 1203 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2025
Mesoanalysis indicates the continued presence of a diffuse and frontolytic surface boundary just to the south of the region over the Florida Keys. An envelope of deeper precipitable water remains entrenched on the northern side of the boundary which will support the potential for shower activity along the east coast metro areas this afternoon. Continued moisture transport via easterly flow will result in a continued potential of precipitation chances in the 20- 30% ballpark across the east coast metro areas through the early evening hours. While scattered showers may be abundant in nature, residual dry air in the column and a lack of instability will keep the potential of thunderstorm activity rather limited, perhaps confined to the nearshore Atlantic gulfstream waters. Ample cloud cover and shower activity will result in cooler high temperatures (upper 70s to low 80s) along the east coast with warmer high temperatures (mid 80s) expected across inland southwestern Florida. With decoupling of the vertical column overnight and residual surface moisture, patches of dense fog are possible across inland locales before and during daybreak on Wednesday. It will feel unseasonably warm along the immediate east coast overnight thanks to that light easterly breeze with temperatures in the low to mid 60s expected elsewhere.
As we move into Wednesday, winds will start to veer southerly and increase as a longwave trough tracks across the Eastern Seaboard and its associated cold frontal boundary will push southeastwards towards the Florida Peninsula. The southerly flow will set the stage for ample WAA (Warm Air Advection) across the region which may result in high temperatures approaching climatological record highs.
NBM QMD data in conjunction with LREF guidance hints at the potential of temperatures reaching the low to mid 80s along the east coast of South Florida with some inland suburbs potentially reaching the upper 80s. A pure southerly flow in this regime (warm sector of an approaching cold front) favors the warmest temperatures near Lake Okeechobee and across inland areas of the region. As the frontal boundary advects eastward across the Gulf of Mexico, synoptic support in the form of mid-level shortwave will eject to the northeast away from the surface boundary. This will act to cut support for a line of showers and thunderstorms over the Gulf and allow for a weakening trend of convection as it approaches the peninsula.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 249 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2025
With Wednesday's frontal passage, there will be some lingering light showers overnight, in addition to mild low temperatures. The best chances for showers will be in the northern portion of the CWA, by Lake Okeechobee, and over the Gulf Waters. Following the cold front's passage Wednesday night/early Thursday, ensemble models are forecasting a quiet weather pattern for the latter half of the week into Saturday with the influence of mid-level zonal ridging and surface high pressure. With the influx of cooler air, due to northerly flow from the frontal passage, temperatures will drop to near, or just below, normal. Afternoon highs will keep in the low to mid 70s across South Florida on Thursday and Friday. The cooler air will be more impactful overnight with the potential for Thursday night lows dropping into the mid-40s across portions of the northern interior, near the lake. There is still moderate uncertainty of how much radiational cooling will occur, but below normal overnight lows can be expected on Thursday and Friday nights.
Beyond Saturday, long term guidance is suggesting the return to active weather with a trough progressing across the Gulf and moving into the Florida Peninsula. With continuing disagreement amongst the models, timing and details are not certain. However, ensembles are showing that there will be plentiful moisture to support the return of wet conditions (20-30% chance) with PWATs 1.5-1.7", as well as temperatures remaining in the 70s each afternoon early next week. As time approaches and certainty grows, we will provide more details.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 633 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2025
Mainly VFR conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period.
Scattered shower activity will linger near the east coast terminals through around 06z before diminishing for the rest of the night. These showers could bring periods of MVFR or IFR conditions to the terminals this evening. As winds become light and variable, areas of fog will be possible overnight across the interior and west coast. The highest chances for visibility reductions will be at KAPF overnight.
MARINE
Issued at 1203 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2025
Generally benign conditions today with winds at 10-15 kts and seas at 2-4 feet. There will be chances for a few showers today, mainly over the Atlantic waters. Winds will increase in the Atlantic on Wednesday back to near cautionary levels at 15-20 kts with some gusts up to 20-25 kts, but seas should remain at 2-4 feet.
BEACHES
Issued at 1203 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2025
A high risk for rip currents is in effect for the Palm beaches with a moderate risk for the rest of the Atlantic beaches today.
An elevated risk is likely to continue for the rest of this week as well.
