New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER
DISCUSSION
Issued at 104 AM EDT Mon Apr 21 2025 Very little overall pattern change over the Florida peninsula through the period as high pressure surface and aloft will hold over the region. The surface ridge axis will remain north of the area which will maintain east to southeast boundary layer flow across the forecast area. Very similar conditions expected across west central and southwest Florida for the next several days with daytime highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s...and overnight lows in the lower to mid 60s north, and mid to upper 60s central and south.
Some high cloudiness today will give way to decreasing cloudiness tonight. The remainder of the week, skies will generally be partly cloudy during the day and mostly clear during the overnight hours.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 104 AM EDT Mon Apr 21 2025 VFR conditions are expected for the next 24 hours with FEW040-050 and BKN250.

Issued at 104 AM EDT Mon Apr 21 2025 High pressure will old over the waters through the period with east to southeast winds generally 10 to 15 knots. Easterly surge each night may cause a brief period of exercise caution winds for a few hours.
FIRE WEATHER
