AMZ600 Synopsis For Jupiter Inlet To Ocean Reef Fl Out To 60 Nm And For East Cape Sable To Bonita Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 435 Pm Est Wed Jan 27 2021
Synopsis.. A cold front is forecast to move across the area in the early to mid morning hours. This will bring a wind shift to the north, with strong gusty wind with frequent gale force gusts in the atlantic offshore waters. This will also bring hazardous marine conditions for the next several days. Otherwise, behind the front, high pressure builds in allowing conditions to improve through the weekend.
Gulf stream hazards..Gale force gusts and seas of around 11 feet possible for Thursday, gradually improving over several days. The approximate location of the west wall of the gulf stream as of jan 27, 2021 at 1200 utc... 29 nautical miles northeast of fowey rocks. 15 nautical miles east northeast of port everglades. 10 nautical miles east of lake worth. 13 nautical miles east southeast of jupiter inlet.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 238 PM EST Wed Jan 27 2021
SHORT TERM. An elongated ridge of high pressure over the western Atlantic Ocean continues to have a strong influence on the weather pattern for South Florida, with the orientation of the ridge allowing for southerly low-level flow across the region. The combination of warm air advection and subsidence aloft is allowing for near record high maximum temperatures, with low/mid 80s expected or already present over most locations.
A strong cold front will approach the region tonight. Winds ahead of the front will veer out of the west/northwest, then eventually northwest/north by tomorrow. In terms of convective impacts, this front is likely to be uneventful. This is mainly due to very weak upper level forcing and a lack of moisture within the boundary layer. Correspondingly, ML CAPE values will likely be below 1000 J/kg across all the area, and low-level convergence will be lackluster. A few showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm could develop over the Gulf waters and locally higher wind gusts could be present in a favorable mesoscale environment, but high end impacts do not appear likely at this time.
As the front passes through the region Thursday, temperatures will drop, with maximum temperatures in a more seasonable range of 70-77 across South Florida. It will be quite breezy over the Atlantic metro region tomorrow, with a strong fetch of northerly winds accompanying the aforementioned cold front. A Wind Advisory for this area does not appear necessary at this time, however this may be revisited as the event materializes.
LONG TERM (Friday through Tuesday night).
A mid-level ridge with high pressure developing across the eastern CONUS. A cooler start to the weekend with gradually moderating temperatures as we move throughout the weekend. This is due to winds from NNE to easterly to southerly by Sunday. As we move throughout the weekend high temperatures will be 70s, to mid 70s to upper 70s by Sunday. We will remain dry throughout the weekend with gradually improving marine conditions as well.
As we move into early next week another trough will be digging across the central US with another low-pressure system moving through the Mid-Atlantic towards the end of the weekend into early next week. This will bring another cold front through the region with a slight increase in the chance of showers with the frontal passage on Monday.
High pressure will build over the northern gulf of Mexico with cooler and drier air moving down the Florida peninsula. This front looks like it will bring colder air then the front moving through the area overnight tonight/Thursday. Cool temps in the 40s and low 50s for Tuesday and Wednesday morning. We will continue to monitor the timing with the frontal passage for early next week.
AVIATION(18Z TAFS). VFR through the evening with low cigs/vsbys possible ahead and along a cold front that will move through the region. APF is the terminal that will see impacts first starting with the potential for LIFR overnight and then the gusty winds picking up as the front approaches and then moves through. The east coast terminals will see the transition later in the morning with the potential for sub-VFR cigs. Convection cannot be ruled out with the frontal passage but confidence is too low to include a restriction now.
MARINE. Relatively benign boating conditions will worsen with an approaching cold front. Strong northerly flow will accompany the front and allow for increasing seas and swell. This is especially the case over the Atlantic waters, where wave heights may reach 7-10 ft owing to a persistent fetch of northerly winds over the Atlantic waters. Gusts are also forecast to approach/slightly exceed gale force criteria during the afternoon/evening hours Thursday over the outer Atlantic waters. Conditions should temper a bit Friday and into the weekend, however hazardous conditions for smaller craft may still linger.
FIRE WEATHER. A cold front is forecast to approach the region Wednesday night/Thursday morning and may bring fire weather concerns to the area. A northerly wind of around 15 mph over most of the area. Relative humidity are forecast to be in the low to mid 30s for the western half of the area. The eastern half is forecast to be in the upper 30s to around 40 percent Thursday afternoon. The wind and relative humidity may cause erratic fire behavior any fires that may ignite on Thursday, especially for Glades, Hendry and Collier counties. However, the ERCs are still below criteria and do not support a change to the fire weather headlines at this time.
BEACHES. With mostly weak southerly flow, rip currents are not a hazard of concern for today. This will quickly change Thursday however with a cold front moving through the region. Strong, north/northeast winds of 15-25 kt will present hazardous beach conditions, mainly along the Palm Beach County coastline where the strongest winds and greatest shore perpendicular component of wind exists.
