High pressure over the Lake Okeechobee this afternoon will move slowly southward through South Florida tonight into Tuesday, as the MCS continues to move eastward from the Southeastern United States into the Western Atlantic waters. At the same time, a mid to upper level low will be developing over the Southeastern United States.
This weather pattern will allow for the winds over South Florida to become more southerly tonight into Tuesday while the 725-750 mb cap remains in place. Therefore, most areas will remain dry through Tuesday, but could still see a few showers or thunderstorms over the Lake okeechobee region into the NE Portions of Palm Beach County this afternoon and again Tuesday afternoon due to the collision of the sea breezes and lake breeze.
One of two storms could also become strong especially where the sea breezes and lake breeze collide due to the 500 mb temps being in the -8 to -9C. The primary impacts from the strong storms will be gusty winds, hail, and lightning strikes.
The other major story is the heat over South Florida. Lows tonight will only be able to fall down into the 70s over the interior areas to around 80 over the metro areas. However, the heat index readings over the east coast metro areas will only get down into the mid to upper 80s overnight, due to the increase in humidity.
Highs on Tuesday will be in the lower to mid 90s over the metro areas to around 100 over the interior areas. With higher humidity, the heat indices will be in the 105 to 108 range over most areas, except 100 to 105 range over the east coast metro areas. If these forecast heat indices continue in later forecast runs, then a heat advisory may be needed for portions of South Florida for Tuesday.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 211 PM EDT Mon May 13 2024
A mid-level low will become cut off from the mean flow aloft mid to late week as it moves from the Mississippi River valley across the Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic. The associated surface cold front will pinch the high pressure over much of the peninsula of Florida south and east by late week. The frontal boundary could enter south central Florida Wednesday into Thursday, briefly allowing a window for some increased rain chances but the weak front lacks the support for more widespread activity which could provide more substantial relief from the heat. Temperatures aloft will cool to around -9 to -10C on Wednesday and Thursday which could support an isolated strong storm or two.
The main story through this forecast period will be the potential for hazardous heat which will begin on Wednesday and linger into the weekend. Most of South Florida could experience heat necessitating at least a Heat Advisory on Wednesday through Saturday and this potential will be monitored through the week.
Afternoon high temperatures are expected to be in the 90s area- wide each afternoon. Lower to mid 90s will be more likely for coastal areas with portions of interior South Florida potentially approaching the upper 90s or low 100s. Overnight low temperatures along the east coast metro mid to late week could struggle to fall below 80 degrees and even portions of the Naples metro may not fall below the upper 70s. This could lead to a period of several days where relentless sunshine, building heat, and a lack of relief overnight could lead to escalating heat illness risk.
By the weekend, the mid-level low begins to exit into the Atlantic off the Mid-Atlantic states with the potential for a southward advancement of the associated front. If the front is able to move into the area, it could provide a small bit of relief from the heat.
If the front stalls to the north, the excessive heat risk could linger through the end of the forecast period.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1248 PM EDT Mon May 13 2024
The winds will swing from a southeast direction this afternoon to more of a southerly direction late tonight into Tuesday over the Taf sites.
Wind speeds should be around 15 knots this afternoon decreasing to 5 to 10 knots tonight. Most TAF sites remain dry except for KPBI with VCTS from 21 to 00Z. Ceiling and Vis remain in VFR conditions, but could fall down into MVFR or even IFR conditions at KPBI taf site with thunderstorms.
MARINE
Issued at 1248 PM EDT Mon May 13 2024
The winds will swing from a southeast direction this afternoon to more of a south southwest direction Tuesday into the upcoming weekend. Wind speeds will be 10 to 15 knots over most South Florida waters, except for the Atlantic waters where they will be 15 to 25 knots tonight into Tuesday.
The Gulf seas will be 1 to 3 feet tonight through rest of this week. The Atlantic seas will be 2 to 5 feet tonight into Tuesday before decreasing to 1 to 3 feet for the middle to end of this week. Therefore, an SCA will remain in place over the Atlantic waters tonight into Tuesday
BEACHES
Issued at 1248 PM EDT Mon May 13 2024
The southeast to south winds will allow for the continue threat of Rip Currents through tonight along the east coast beaches of South Florida. The winds will become more south southwest on Tuesday, but due to the low time in the morning and the last several days of the persistent southeast winds, the threat of rip currents should continue into Tuesday. Therefore, The High Risk of Rip Currents along the east coast beaches of South Florida will continue through Tuesday evening.
