Aviation (12Z TAFs).
A few passing showers still possible over the Atlantic terminals during the mid morning hours. Otherwise, VFR will return today in the wake of frontal passage with winds veering NW and increasing into the 10-15 knot range this afternoon. Winds will then become light and variable later tonight.

Update . Mixing across Lake Okeechobee has resulted in higher winds than any of the guidance and previous forecast anticipated. So put a small craft advisory in effect through the morning hours and updated forecast accordingly. This wind surge should be limited to this morning with conditions improving by the afternoon.
Prev Discussion . /issued 354 AM EST Thu Feb 27 2020/
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES ACROSS REGION OVER COMING DAYS. HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS WITH HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA. INCREASED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LATE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
Short Term (Today through Friday Night) . A strong cold front has pushed through the forecast area this morning. The front brought a band of moderate to in some cases heavy showers through the region, which has shifted mostly offshore at the time of this discussion. A break in the rainfall is observed on radar for much of the land areas this morning. Upstream, denser cloud cover and stratiform precipitation is occurring generally across central Florida. This band of isentropic induced activity will continue to move southward with the density front, however, the dense cold/dry airmass will eventually dry up much of this activity as it near our northern tier. That said, POPs for the Lake Okeechobee region will remain nonzero through the morning hours to account for the possibility of some activity sneaking southward.
By sunrise and thereafter, all eyes will be shifting from POPs to temps. With the CAA setting up, warming from insolation will be limited today. That said, below average temperatures are anticipated across the board with high temps in the mid 60s across the upper interior and closer to 70 across the coastline. As surface high pressure begins to solidly spread into the region from the west, winds will begin to lighten up a good bit allowing for sufficient radiational cooling to take place tonight/Friday AM. This will allow temperatures to drop into the upper 30s across the interior with coastal areas dropping to the mid/upper 40s elsewhere including metro areas and around 50 immediate east coast.
Friday, high pressure will remain in control with continued below average temperatures. Again, despite plenty of insolation, strong cold/dry air advection will continue to filter into the region through the remainder of the short term period with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Friday night low temperatures will be around 40 in the NW interior to upper 40s elsewhere including metro areas and lower 50s immediate east coast.
Long Term (Saturday through Wednesday) . The long term begins with high pressure in control, with only a slight moderation from the short term to long term periods. A secondary Canadian H5 impulse will swing southward across the southeast US leading to a secondary push of cold/dry air into the region this weekend. Globals have backed off a bit on the QPF signal with this feature and with little to no time to recover, think rain chances are very close to zero. High temps will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s saturday and lower to mid 70s by sunday as airmass begins to recover. Low temps Saturday night will still be close to a repeat from friday night.
Dry conditions will continue through early next week. High pressure will finally translate eastward from the northern Gulf of Mexico into the western north Atlantic through the period. This will finally allow for the cool pattern to end going into early next week as a surface return flow sets up across the region bringing warmer and more moist air into the forecast area. With this a chance of rain will return my mid to late week with temperatures warming to near normal early part of the week and well above normal by mid to late week ahead of the next front.
Marine . Strong NNW flow is occurring behind a strong cold front that pushed through the region early this morning. This has pushed winds to SCA thresholds and wave heights aren't far from meeting criteria. SCA conditions can be expected through the day today with some gradual breakdown of pressure gradient later this afternoon and overnight. This will lead to more benign marine conditions overnight, at least until later this weekend when a reinforcing shot a cold air drives southward increasing winds and seas to near SCA thresholds once again. Eventually, early next week high pressure will build into the region reducing winds and seas through midweek before another uptick occurs as southerly flow increases ahead of aforementioned front. SCA will remain in effect through the day today for much of the waters (except Lake Okeechobee) and through the evening hours for the Palm Beach waters.
Beach Forecast . A high risk of rip currents can be anticipated today for the beaches of Palm Beach and Collier Counties as onshore flow impacts the collier coast today along with a bit of westerly swell and as high seas build offshore Palm beach with a NE swell as well. Elsewhere, moderate risk of rip currents will reside for the beaches of Miami Dade and Broward Counties. A gradual improvement is anticipated by Friday, however, there still may be an elevated risk of rip currents going into the upcoming weekend. Beyond the weekend, the rip current risk will decrease for Collier and increase early next week for the entire east coast as flow turns more out of the east.
Fire Weather . A very dry airmass will push southward behind the cold front resulting in RH values among the driest we have seen in a while across the region Friday and through the weekend. RH values are forecast to drop across the interior to near or below critical values through the period but RFW criteria, when factoring winds and ERC values, is not quite met but there is no doubt we will be dealing with a period of increased fire weather concerns Friday and through the weekend. Something we will be monitoring through the weekend. Dispersion conditions will be good today and Friday increasing to very good by the weekend as mixing heights begin to recover and transport winds remain at least moderate.
