New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER
DISCUSSION
Rain free forecast continues with ridging aloft from the NW Carib Nward up the Eastern Seaboard through the weekend. W Atlantic high pressure is becoming reinforced as well to tighten the pressure gradient over the FL Peninsula with occasionally gusty easterly winds and warm above normal temps.
An upper trough is expected to move through the N Gulf Coast region early next week suppressing the upper ridge while the Bermuda high weakens and the sea breeze returns to coastal areas through mid to late next week.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
FEW-SCT fair wx cu field at 05-06k ft this afternoon with occasionally gusty easterly winds and an evening easterly surge before winds slowly decrease overnight. Very similar conditions Saturday as well.
MARINE
High pressure continues over the region with generally easterly winds and gusty evening surges with periods of exercise caution level winds and choppy seas on the waters tonight through the weekend. Winds decrease a bit early to mid next week with the afternoon seabreeze returning.
FIRE WEATHER
High pressure continues over the region with the warm and dry conditions remaining in place through the weekend. Minimum humidities are expected to be at or just below critical values each afternoon. Easterly winds become occasionally gusty each afternoon into evening with high dispersions in some areas. Fuel moistures remain just moist enough to prevent red flag conditions though.
