Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Gulf Stream, FL

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 211 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

For the remainder of the week, the western extension of high pressure over the western Atlantic will continue to maintain subsidence and generally dry conditions over SoFlo, with the bulk of the atmospheric column above 850mb characterized by relative humidity values below 30% aloft. Thus, despite continued sea breezes and warm temperatures, the overall pattern limits rain chances. A weak inverted trough along the southern periphery of the ridge passes across our area Thursday morning, but without much impact aside from a very slight uptick in easterly flow. PWATs climb slightly as the trough brings slightly higher low level moisture, but NBM POPs have remained low in the 10-15% percent range for Thursday.

Heading into the weekend, troughing over the eastern CONUS will quickly slide east, pushing surface high pressure to the ENE of SoFlo and eroding it. This will allow for low level moisture to filter into the region, with the synoptic pattern providing for modest PoPs up about 15-25% each afternoon from Friday through the weekend into early next week. Robust returning onshore flow/sea breeze circulations in the afternoon hours could provide additional lift to support an isolated thunderstorm or two during this period.

High temperatures throughout the long term forecast window are forecast to remain in the mid to upper 80s for the east coast, though interior locations may poke into the low 90s. Overnight lows should hold steady with limited cloud cover allowing temperatures to drop to mid to upper 60s for the interior and low 70s along the coasts.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1215 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

VFR will prevail through the TAF with moderate easterly flow continuing. A brief wind shift onshore will be likely at APF later this afternoon.

MARINE
Issued at 1215 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

Cautionary conditions are expected from time to time for the remainder of the week. These conditions will become more widespread and steady late this week, especially across the Atlantic.

BEACHES
Issued at 1215 PM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

A high risk for life threatening rip currents continues today and through at least the remainder of the week. While rips may not be as prolific on Wednesday, the continued elevated onshore flow will likely continue to produce occasional to frequent rip currents. The threat ramps up again starting Thursday once onshore flow strengthens again.
