8/26/2020 The 7 day forecast is taking about 5 seconds to load but it will eventually load. NOAA is still working on it. 8/18/2020 NOAA continues to have trouble. Wind guest will occasionally be left off graphs. I am working with NOAA to resolve the issue. 12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

PREV DISCUSSION . (Issued 232 PM EST Tue Jan 19 2021)
.Continued Nice Weather For South Florida For The Rest Of The Week .
SHORT TERM .
This afternoon through Wednesday .
High pressure over the Florida Peninsula will continue to dominate South Florida's weather through Wednesday. This will keep the weather dry over South Florida during this time frame and allow for temperatures to slowly warm up. Low tonight will be in the 50s, except mid to upper 40s west of Lake Okeechobee and upper 50s to near 60 southeast metro areas of South Florida. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 70s over South Florida.
LONG TERM .
Wednesday Night through Tuesday .
The extended range of the forecast continues to be quiet as a ridge of high pressure remains in control across our area for the remainder of the week. Subsidence and dry air aloft will act to keep precipitation chances low and lead to relatively quiet and benign conditions. Temperatures will continue to gradually warm through the week as a light onshore flow out of the northeast becomes established underneath the high pressure. Afternoon highs this week will remain in the mid to upper 70s, with lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s inland, with low temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The only potential weather maker in the extended range is a weak backdoor cold front that would approach the area from the northeast. Although the onshore flow would act to increase moisture across the area, there does not appear to be enough support for any significant rainfall. A few isolated showers may develop across the offshore Atlantic waters on Sunday afternoon with daytime heating. Southerly flow becomes established across South Florida for the beginning of next week after this back door cold front dissipates to our south. The southerly flow will act to allow for high temperatures to potentially reach the low 80s, especially inland.
AVIATION(18Z TAFS) . The ceiling and vis will remain in VFR conditions through Wednesday along with dry conditions at all of South Florida TAF sites. Winds will mainly be from a northeast direction at 10 knots or less.
MARINE . The winds will remain from the northerly direction through Wednesday before slowly swinging to a southerly direction by end of the week ahead of a cold front. The wind speeds will be 10 knots or less through the week. This will keep the seas at 2 feet or less in both the Atlantic and Gulf waters of South Florida through rest the week. Therefore, boating conditions looks good for South Florida waters through rest the week.
