Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Lighthouse Point, FL

LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 127 AM EDT Thu May 22 2025

The weak frontal boundary will become frontolytic in nature this weekend with mid-level flow lessening greatly across the region as the axis of the departing mid-level trough moves well offshore into the western Atlantic waters. However the residual moisture associated with the decaying front will remain in place across the region. This will allow for both the Atlantic and Gulf sea-breezes to propagate inland with the greatest chance for afternoon showers and storms across inland locales each afternoon. 500mb temperatures will still be cool enough to steepen low lapse rates and usher in the potential of a few strong afternoon storms along convergent boundaries. Heavy rainfall, locally gusty winds, and frequent lightning is still possible with afternoon storms. This weekend, high temperatures will be a few degrees cooler in large part due to cloud cover. Sharp fluctuations and gradients in afternoon temperatures are indeed possible as shower and thunderstorm activity will act to knock down temperatures from their diurnal peaks.

After a period of relative quiet mid to upper level flow, the next mid-level trough will advect across the central United States on Monday into Tuesday, dragging an attendant surface frontal boundary and developing surface low eastward. As the mid-level trough continues to advect eastward during the middle weak period, the frontal boundary and a reinforcing plume of deep moisture is also forecast to enter the region. Rain chances will remain in the 40-50% range each afternoon as inward propagating sea-breeze circulations dictate the greatest coverage of PM showers and storms.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1239 PM EDT Thu May 22 2025

Periods of MVFR/IFR conditions could be possible late this afternoon as a front approaches and SCT SHRA/TSRA impact the terminals. Although TEMPOs were included in this cycle, short- fuse amendments could be needed as conditions evolve.
Northwesterly winds prevail, but the East Coast sea breeze will develop and move inland early this afternoon. Dry weather overnight with light and variable winds, but chances for SHRA/TSRA return early on Friday, with vis/cig reductions once again possible.

MARINE
Issued at 1239 PM EDT Thu May 22 2025

Mostly benign marine conditions will persist through the remainder of the work week with light winds and seas 2 ft or less. Showers and storms will be possible across the Lake Okeechobee and nearshore Atlantic waters today and once again on Friday afternoon with the potential of locally higher winds and waves occurring.
