DISCUSSION
Issued at 236 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
Thanks to high pressure dominating, the weather remains in a warm, dry holding pattern, with each day becoming a bit warmer. Rain remains absent through the end of the forecast period. Easterly to southeasterly winds will keep the warmest temperatures over our CWA
High temperatures will be in the upper 80s to low 90s through the week, with minimal cloud cover. Though the temperatures suggest summer has already begun, one big difference will be the humidity, which will remain low throughout the week.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 236 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
VFR conditions prevail through the period. Easterly winds will turn onshore later this afternoon, before becoming light and variable overnight.
MARINE
Issued at 236 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
High pressure over the area will persist, allowing for benign marine conditions. Easterly winds will shift onshore during the afternoons, and should remain below 15 knots.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 236 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024
Relative humidity values are expected to be critically low each afternoon as a high pressure system dominates the pattern. However, winds should remain below criteria for any RFW.
