New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER

.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...
Issued at 406 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

A fairly quiet morning across paradise...temperatures ranging from the upper 60s to low 70s across the area. Meanwhile, upper and surface high pressure is expected to build through Friday. This set up supports light easterly winds during the day and the afternoon sea breeze shifting winds onshore. The E/W Coast breezes collide over the interior, but limited moisture keeps rain chances low (10-25%) during this time. On the other hand, afternoon temperatures will be around 90 degrees across the state, so residents and visitors should stay hydrated to prevent any heat related illnesses.

.LONG TERM (SAT-WED)...
Issued at 406 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

On Saturday, an upper level disturbance attempts to push across the Peninsula but falls apart as it travels northeast. This could support higher rain chances, especially to areas along the Nature Coast late on Saturday and into Sunday. Bermuda High builds back in with drier and very warm conditions prevail through the rest of the period. If the current trend continues, we could experience the warmest temperatures by the middle of next week with highs in the mid to upper 90s possible. East to southeasterly winds should be in place with the sea breeze shifting winds onshore each afternoon.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 136 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

VFR conditions anticipated overnight and most of today across terminals. Then, the sea breeze could bing the potential for isolated showers and a storm or two to develop in the afternoon hours, especially near LAL and PGD with a non zero chance for FMY/RSW. The main concern would be gusty and erratic winds near showers and temporary MVFR ceilings and visibilities. Otherwise, easterly winds prevail, before shifting west behind the sea breeze at SRQ/TPA/PIE.

MARINE
Issued at 342 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

Ridge of high pressure remains in control over the Gulf waters through the period. Mostly rain free conditions are anticipated with highest rain chances over land during this time. Winds should remain 15 knots or less and seas 2 feet or less making for pleasant boating conditions through the week. A sea breeze is expected close to the coast each afternoon and evening.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 336 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

Area of high pressure continues to dominate weather conditions over fire districts through the period. Fairly low chances for showers and isolated storms in the afternoon/evening today and Friday, mainly over interior locations. This should be led by the sea breeze, which would determine how far inland showers develop. Minimum humidities should remain above critical levels today, on Friday could get near 35 percent in central portions of the state. Easterly winds prevail become onshore by the afternoon through Friday before shifting from the south during the weekend. This is as a disturbance moves over northern Florida. Rain chances increase into early next week with no other concerns during this time.
