VFR conditions expected trough the period with light and variable winds over the next few hours. Then, the sea breeze will shift winds onshore during the late morning/early afternoon.

DISCUSSION
Issued at 223 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024 Low amplitude pattern across the CONUS will gradually amplify over the next several days as a southern stream disturbance moves quickly across the desert southwest tonight and Saturday, and the southern plains/Lower Mississippi Valley Saturday night and Sunday as it comes in-phase with a weak northern stream disturbance.
This will push across the southeast U.S. on Monday, and off the mid Atlantic coast Monday night.

In the short term, high pressure will hold over the forecast area today and Saturday with partly cloudy skies and dry, very warm conditions. Increasing cloudiness Sunday as a cold front associated with the U/L disturbance will move across the Florida peninsula Sunday night and Monday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with the best chance of rain across the nature coast and interior. Weak high pressure will build over west central and southwest Florida in the wake of the front Tuesday and Wednesday with drier cooler air advecting across the forecast area.

MARINE
Issued at 223 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024 High pressure will hold over the waters through Saturday with winds less than 15 knots and seas 2 feet or less. A cold front will move across the waters Sunday night and Monday with a chance of showers/thunderstorms with the best chance for rain over the northern waters. Winds will become north behind the front but will remain below advisory levels as high pressure builds back over the region.
