Short Term.
Tonight and Sunday .
Convection ahead of a cold front is pushing across South Florida. The trend with this convection has been weakening cells along the broken line. Earlier, convection was a bit more vigorous, but it has since lost some of the support from mid and upper level features that are north of the area. While some light showers may remain behind the main line of convection, coverage should continue to diminish over the next several hours.
Drier, cooler air is expected to begin entering the region behind the front with temperatures dropping into the 50s across much of Southwest Florida tonight with 60s around the Atlantic coast and surrounding metro areas. Sunnier skies on Sunday should allow the temperatures to recover into the upper 70s and lower 80s across most of the area. Zonal flow builds aloft and high pressure settles in over the Atlantic at the surface on Sunday.
Long Term.
Sunday Night and Monday .
A low amplitude flow pattern will exist for the CONUS on Sunday, with a gradual amplification taking place on Monday as troughing advances through the Great Plains and Upper Midwest. Downstream ridging elongated from the eastern Gulf of Mexico through the northern Caribbean Sea will hold a protective influence over South Florida during this time. Surface high pressure, initially centered over Florida, will locate to our east by Monday in response to upstream pressure falls preceding the mid-CONUS system. The shifting location of the surface high will bring gradually veering winds putting an end to any residual cold advection following the earlier frontal passage. Therefore look for warming temperatures on Monday given the onshore wind component. This will be a dry and mostly sunny period, although Atlantic clouds should spill over into the east coast areas by Monday afternoon with increasing low- level moisture. After cool temperatures Monday morning in the upper 50s (inland) and 60s (east coast metro and immediate Gulf coast), afternoon highs should climb into the 80s for most areas.
Tuesday through Wednesday Night .
Broad troughing aloft will progress through the eastern states, as a basal wind max locates from the Gulf Coast states through northern and central Florida. A weak surface pressure wave will accompany the upper level trough while developing northeastward from the southern Appalachians through New England. The associated cold front should pass through South Florida during the Tuesday Night/Wednesday time frame with increasing lower to mid tropospheric moisture preceding the frontal passage. This will bring increasing shower chances, along with a few thunderstorms possible by Tuesday afternoon and evening as instability increases. Showers remain possible into Wednesday as the frontal system and upper trough gradually exit the region. The greatest rain amounts with this system should be over northwest portions of our area from roughly Lake Okeechobee into Palm Beach County, with forecast amounts tapering off to the south and east. While some 850 mb moisture flux convergence is noted Tuesday afternoon with slowing Corfidi vectors, widespread heavy rain potential appears to be offset by semi-poor moisture quality and the progressive nature of the frontal passage. It's possible that a localized heavy rain threat could materialize however, and we'll keep an eye on this going forward. Confidence in temperature trends is somewhat lower than usual during this period, as cloud cover and rainfall could temper readings on Tuesday with cold advection likely behind the frontal passage by Wednesday. Didn't stray from a model blended consensus, which keeps highs in the 80s on Tuesday, dropping back into the 70s on Wednesday. Much colder temperatures are expected on Wednesday Night with lows dropping into the 40s and 50s for most areas.
Thursday through Saturday .
Quiet and cool conditions are expected on Thursday with shortwave ridging in place. Thereafter a sharpening upper trough will progress through the eastern states into the weekend. The current suite of model solutions display both timing and intensity differences with the trough, with some solutions carving out a closed low over the Gulf Coast states late in the period. This may lead to surface cyclogenesis over the eastern Gulf of Mexico/western North Atlantic Ocean in the Friday-Saturday time frame. If this were to occur, a period of active weather is possible for South Florida. However, model variability remains high and confidence is resultingly low. Therefore will maintain the ongoing forecast for now with PoPs in the chance to slight chance range. This may change as the forecast pattern becomes better elucidated. Temperatures should slowly moderate through this period, but cloud cover and shower chances should hold highs mostly in the 70s to perhaps lower 80s into the weekend.
Marine.
As the weak front pushes through today and eventually dissipates overnight, conditions in the Atlantic waters should improve. High pressure builds in to close out the weekend and kick off the work week, with persistent easterly flow returning and the potential for elevated seas. A mid-week cold front could bring the return of hazardous conditions over the area waters to close out the work week.
Aviation (18Z TAFS).
Pre-frontal convection is moving through South Florida this afternoon. Terminals could brief bouts of gusty winds and sub-VFR conditions. Wind will turn more westerly later this afternoon into the evening with some gusts above 25 kts possible. Winds will shift late in the evening into the overnight out of the northwest. On Sunday morning, winds may shift more northerly to northeasterly.
Beach Forecast.
The westerly to northwesterly flow behind the front will allow for an elevated rip current risk along the Gulf beaches through Sunday. Along the Atlantic beaches, the rip current risk should diminish as the weekend concludes. By early in the week, the easterly flow returns and so will the elevated rip current risk. Another cold front will push across the region mid-week which will cause hazardous marine conditions to develop leading to the return of an elevated rip current threat to close out the work week.
