DISCUSSION

Currently...Considerable mid to high clouds deck streaming NE from the Gulf foretells the approach of more active weather by Sunday. T There yet remains some significant moistening of the local airmass before a higher rain threat develops. Observations during this evening have indicated some brief sprinkles at DAB-LEE-ORL and recently MCO, however the airmass remains too dry to support measurable rain from the high-based pcpn. No updates are planned to the current fcst, which indicates warmer conditions overnight than the past several days.

prev disc...

Tonight-Saturday...High pressure over the west Atlantic will continue to slowly slide E/NE through tonight and into Saturday with a low level southeasterly flow continuing across the area.
The onshore flow combined with a strong low level inversion is leading to a stratocu cloud deck across the region that is generating some isolated light showers and sprinkles toward the coast and Okeechobee County, as well as over the coastal waters.
Aloft, W/SW winds will continue to transport some mid-high level clouds across Florida, with some light showers and sprinkles possible with this increase in cloud cover as well. However, any measurable rainfall from this activity will be more likely later this evening and overnight across northern portions of east central Florida as much drier layer of air between 850-500mb continues to moisten. Any rainfall though will be very light, less than a tenth of an inch.

Low end rain chances, around 20-30 percent, will continue through tonight and into tomorrow, especially along the coast, as SE flow transports any isolated to scattered showers onshore. Greatest chance for these showers will be along the Treasure Coast. Partly to mostly cloudy skies will continue into tomorrow. Lows tonight will range from the low to mid 60s, with highs tomorrow warming up into the upper 70s to low 80s.

Sunday-Monday (modified previous)...High pressure will continue to slide east-northeast over the western Atlantic ahead of an approaching cold front Sunday into Monday. The cold front moves across the Deep Southeast Sunday, and into east central Florida Sunday evening. A 30-40kt southwesterly LLJ coupled with conditionally unstable mid-level lapse rates, 500mb temps ~ -10/- 11C, low instability, and bulk shear up to 50-60kts will support the potential for strong to isolated severe storms by the late Sunday afternoon into early Monday morning.

The greatest potential for strong storms exists from Osceola/Brevard counties northward. The main hazards will be wind gusts up to 50- 60mph, heavy rainfall, and cloud to ground lightning strikes. South winds Sunday morning increase and veer southwest into the afternoon.
Winds further veer north behind the cold front with gusts up to 20- 25mph. The cold front will move out of central Florida Monday morning with drier air moving in behind it. Temperatures in the low to mid 80s Sunday will become noticeably cooler behind the front with highs widely ranging the 60s Monday afternoon.

Tuesday-Thursday (modified previous)...High pressure will build over the midsouth and Ohio Valley through midweek. Flow veers east- northeast into Tuesday. Guidance signals that a weak trough will develop along the east coast of Florida with moisture increasing from the south through midweek. PWATs generally rise between 1.3- 1.8" Wednesday and Thursday. Isolated to scattered showers are forecast to develop Wednesday and Thursday with the highest chances towards the Treasure Coast (PoPs ~30-50%). Breezy conditions are forecast with wind gusts up to 20-30 mph each afternoon, especially Thursday along the coast. Expect afternoon highs in the low to mid 70s to the north of Lake Kissimmee to Melbourne with the mid to upper 70s to the south. Lows drop into the mid to upper 40s inland Tuesday with 50s closer to the coast. Lows range the mid 50s to mid 60s Wednesday and Thursday.

MARINE
Tonight-Saturday...High pressure over the west Atlantic will continue a southeasterly flow over the coastal waters that will increase tonight into tomorrow. Wind speeds will range from 10-15 knots tonight, and increase up to 15-20 knots offshore of Brevard County and the Treasure Coast on Saturday, leading to poor boating conditions at least into the morning hours. Seas will continue to range from around 3-5 feet. Isolated to scattered showers will be possible over the coastal waters.

Sunday-Tuesday (modified previous)...A cold front will sag southeast across the waters Sunday evening into Monday morning which will bring the potential for strong to isolated severe storms. Expect scattered to numerous showers and storms Sunday into Monday. Any strong to severe storms that develop Sunday evening/early Monday will be capable of wind gusts up to 50kts, heavy rainfall, and cloud to water lighting strikes. South winds around 20kts Sunday veer to become northerly behind the cold front Monday, increasing to around 20-25kts. Winds further veer to become east-northeast around 15- 20kts Tuesday. Seas 3-4ft with up to 5 ft in the offshore (20-60nm) waters, before increasing to 4-6ft with up to 7-8ft in the Gulf Stream Monday.

Issued at 833 PM EST Fri Dec 8 2023

Primarily high ceilings nr FL120-150 with sct-ocnl bkn clouds at Fl 060-080. Any cigs are forecast to remain VFR tonight. Some light precip will continue to occur from higher cloud cover moving in from the west, mainly across central to northern terminals. Isolated to scattered showers will also continue to be possible along the coast through Saturday, and will have a better chance of producing brief tempo MVFR visibilities. SE winds will continue around 5 knots tonight and up to 8-11 knots on Saturday with a developing sea breeze at the coast early afternoon.
