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- 1002 Am Edt Fri Apr 26 2024
a gentle to moderate easterly wind flow will remain in place today across the local waters. Easterly flow will gradually increase Friday and into the upcoming weekend as strong high pressure builds south towards the area. This will likely result in hazardous marine conditions returning to all local waters during this time frame.
gulf stream hazards: no hazards.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL Issued by National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 142 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
New AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 949 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Quiet conditions continue this morning across South Florida as an easterly flow prevails. In this flow, the Cu field is beginning to develop along the East coast, slowly making its way inland. The 12Z MFL sounding shows just a slight bit of moisture right a 4kft where clouds are occurring, but the atmosphere above that layer quickly dries and stabilizes with a sharp decrease in the dew point temperature and a noted inversion. This suggests a quiet day overall across the region on land. However, marine and beach hazards continue with the easterly flow and are likely to increase as the winds pick up later this evening and tonight.
The forecast remains on track.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Mid-lvl ridging will build towards the area over through Saturday maintaining the dry and stable airmass over South Florida. Strong high pressure over the NE US will build southward Friday into Saturday tightening the pressure gradient and resulting in breezy easterly flow developing over our area. The dry mid-lvls and dynamic subsidence should keep us mostly dry through the period, although some quick moving shallow showers will be possible over the east coast and Atlantic waters, particularly on Saturday as easterly flow/coastal convergence increases. Temperatures today through Saturday will be characteristic of a strong easterly regime with the warmest highs (generally upper 80s) over the Interior/west coast with cooler highs (generally low to mid 80s) over the east coast. The reverse will be true with overnight lows with milder readings (low 70s) over the east coast and 60s over the Interior/west coast.
LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Mid-lvl ridging will establish itself over the eastern CONUS this weekend into early next week, displacing the storm track well north of the area.
At the surface (initially strong) high pressure over the western Atlantic will be the main feature of interest supporting breezy easterly winds through the period, although the high will gradually be weakening into next week with winds . Generally dry conditions will prevail given the influence of the ridge, although some quick-moving shallow coastal convergence generated showers can't be ruled out over the east coast and Atlantic waters through the period. Temperatures will be fairly static Sunday/Monday (similar to Saturday), and then increase a couple degrees into the mid-week period as easterly flow weakens somewhat.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 141 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
A prevailing easterly flow continues for Atlantic TAF sites, subsiding some this evening with less surface instability, before increasing again tomorrow. KAPF may see a sea breeze shift to the west this afternoon. Otherwise, there are no significant aviation hazards with any CIGs remaining higher than 3kft and showers tomorrow remaining off the Atlantic coast. KPBI could see some VCSH tomorrow, but probs are too low for mention at this time.
MARINE
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Easterly winds and seas will increase today into the weekend as high pressure builds southward into the western Atlantic. Hazardous conditions will likely develop tonight and persist through the upcoming weekend, particularly over the Atlantic waters.
BEACHES
Issued at 122 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Increasing easterly (onshore) flow and surf will result in a high risk of rip currents for the east coast beaches today through the upcoming weekend.
