New UPDATE, AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 835 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
Forecast remains on track this evening requiring no changes.
Another day of record temps across the area, with TBW setting a new record of 91 degrees, and TPA and PGD each tying record highs of 93 degrees. While high pressure surface and aloft continue over the region, latest WV imagery and U/A analysis indicates the ridging aloft has weakened somewhat over the past 24 hours as a shortwave extending southward from the Great Lakes across the TN Valley digs across the E U.S. Enough ridging looks to remain in place to support continued dry and above normal to near record temps again on Saturday, with highs in the mid to upper 80s coastal where the sea breeze will shave a few degrees off of high temps, and the lower to mid 90s away from the coast and over the interior. Fire weather concerns remain an issue with continued dry weather, although less breezy afternoon conditions overall should help mitigate the threat somewhat.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 230 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
High pressure over the western Atlantic Ocean will continue to ridge southwestward across the Florida peninsula this weekend with very little change in the warm dry pattern. Early next week a weakening cool front will approach from the north. Deeper moisture associated with this boundary will settle into the region and this combined with the daytime heating and the sea breeze will lead to a chance of afternoon and evening showers and a few thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday. The front washes out by midweek with another area of high pressure sliding off the eastern U.S.
coast and out into the western Atlantic ridging southwest across the area bringing a return the warm dry weather.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 725 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
VFR continues through period with light/variable winds overnight, increasing to SE 5-10 mph during the morning then gradually shifting SW through NW during the afternoon with the sea breeze with a few higher gusts possible.
MARINE
Issued at 230 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
A ridge of high pressure will continue to dominate the weather through the weekend with an east to southeast flow, except shifting to onshore each afternoon and early evening with the sea breeze. A weakening cool front will move into the region early next week bringing a chance of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms. High pressure to the north and northeast will then rebuild over the waters by midweek with east to southeast flow returning.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 230 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025
High pressure will dominate through the weekend with east to southeast winds, except shifting to westerly each afternoon near the coast as the sea breeze develops and moves inland. Relative humidity values are expected to dip to critical levels over inland areas each afternoon, but sustained winds should remain less than 15 mph with Red Flag conditions not anticipated. Moisture increases early next week as a weakening front approaches from the north.
