DISCUSSION
Issued at 415 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Remaining Warm and Dry Through The Weekend
...Rain Chances Increase Monday with a Few Stronger Storms Possible...

Today-Tonight...High pressure over the eastern Gulf and western Atlantic will persist today, continuing a weaker wind flow across the area. A weak mid level ridge nudges its way into Florida, with much warmer than normal high temperatures continuing. The combination of higher temps and initially lighter winds will allow the sea breeze boundaries along both coasts to form and move inland this afternoon, with E/SE winds increasing to 10-15+ mph along the east central Florida coast. This will keep highs in the mid to upper 80s along the coast, with max temps in the low 90s over much of the interior, near to west of I-95. However, a few inland spots may be able to make it to the mid 90s this afternoon. While forecast highs will be near records today, they still remain just below these values by about 2-6 degrees for most sites (see climate section below). Greatest potential for a tied/broken max temp record will be at Vero Beach, where forecast high of 89 degrees is one degree from their record of 90 degrees for today.

There will be a slight increase in moisture across southern portions of the area through late afternoon, with PW values increasing to 1.5- 1.6 inches south of Orlando. Some of the hi-res guidance indicates the potential for a few showers developing, mainly from the sea breeze collision in this slightly more moist environment near to just north of Lake Okeechobee. However, MOS PoPs continue a dry forecast, and will therefore continue to keep any mentionable rain chances out of the forecast. Skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy across the area. Dry airmass and decreasing winds tonight, will again allow temps to fall into the mid to upper 60s overnight. Some patchy ground fog will again be possible late tonight into early Sunday morning, but confidence not high enough to add to the forecast at this time.

Sunday...High pressure located across the western Atlantic will continue to extend towards the peninsula on Sunday, keeping conditions mostly dry. Another warm day across the area is forecast, with highs climbing into the upper 80s to low 90s. This temperature gradient with the local Atlantic waters will cause the east coast sea breeze to develop. However, flow aloft will strengthen out of the west-southwest across the peninsula, which will limit progression inland of the east coast sea breeze. The sea breeze will likely stay pinned at the coast, with winds at the surface remaining out of the west-southwest at 10 to 15 mph. By Sunday night, rain chances will begin to increase across the far northern portions of the forecast area as a frontal boundary begins to approach the area.
Isolated to scattered showers will develop out ahead of the boundary, with development Sunday night remaining north of the Orlando metro. An isolated storm cannot be ruled out. Overnight lows across east central Florida will remain in the mid to upper 60s.

Monday...Progression southward of the weak cold front will lead to increasing rain chances across east central Florida on Monday.
Isolated storms also cannot be ruled out, and the Storm Prediction Center has now highlighted a majority of the area in a Marginal Risk (1/5) for severe weather on Monday. The overall environment looks as though it could support some strong to marginally severe storms.
Increasing moisture ahead of the front will support dewpoints in the low to mid 60s, and current modeled SBCAPE values hold around 1000 to 1500 J/kg, especially across southern portions of the forecast area that have the best chances of receiving decent daytime heating.
Increasing cloud coverage across the Orlando metro and areas northward will keep afternoon temperatures in the mid 70s to low 80s, while areas southward will still climb into the mid to upper 80s. 500 mb temperatures in the -12 to -10C range will support the potential for hail, and moderate deep layer shear combined with DCAPE values in the 500 to 1000 J/kg range will support the potential for gusty winds. Overall, any storms that develop will be capable of frequent lightning strikes, gusty winds, and small to coin-sized hail. Modest PWATs (1.4-1.6") could support some brief heavy downpours.

Showers and storms will gradually diminish as the cold front moves southward across the area during the overnight hours. Winds will shift from the west to out of the north-northwest behind the front, and cloud coverage will diminish. Overnight lows will fall into the mid to upper 50s north and west of the I-4 corridor, with some rural areas also falling into the upper 50s. Elsewhere, lows in the low 60s.

Tuesday-Friday...Behind the weak frontal boundary, a dry air mass is forecast to settle across the southeastern US in association with a weak area of high pressure. This will keep conditions mostly dry through the remainder of next week across east central Florida. The global models have fallen into slightly better agreement with the latest model run, with both the Euro and the GFS keeping conditions mostly dry. The GFS continues to try to indicate some sort of moisture present, but it has decreased since yesterday. As a result, the NBM has decreased rain chances, with PoPs forecast to remain below 10 percent through the long term forecast period. The dry air mass will keep skies mostly clear across east central Florida. Winds will veer from the north-northeast, becoming onshore through the remainder of the period. This onshore flow will help keep temperatures along the coast in the upper 70s to mid 80s through the period, with areas across the interior west of I-95 gradually warming through the week. Afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 80s on Tuesday, slightly cooler thanks to the passage of the front.
Through the remainder of the week, highs will return to the mid to upper 80s across the interior. Overnight lows generally in the upper 50s to mid 60s, gradually increasing through the week.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 415 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Patchy fog will be possible through early this morning, and again late tonight into early Sunday morning, especially northwest of the I-4 corridor. Tempo IFR/MVFR conditions will be possible with any fog that develops. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to prevail today into tonight, as dry conditions continue and skies remain mostly clear to partly cloudy. Light winds around 5 knots forecast through this morning, with increasing winds out of the E/SE behind the developing east coast sea breeze as it moves inland this afternoon. Wind speeds will increase to 10-15 knots with higher gusts possible, mainly along the coast.

MARINE
Issued at 415 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Today-Tonight...Ridge axis of high pressure over the west Atlantic will remain just south of the waters today, with a second area of weak high pressure over the eastern Gulf. W/SW winds 5-10 knots this morning, will become E/SE this afternoon as east coast sea breeze forms and moves inland. Brief period of poor boating conditions will then be possible, mainly offshore of Brevard County and the Treasure Coast this evening, as winds veer to the south and increase to around 15 knots over this portion of the coastal waters. Otherwise, winds continue to veer to the W/SW overnight and decrease further overnight. Seas will range from 2-4 feet.

Sunday-Wednesday...High pressure located across the western Atlantic will keep conditions dry on Sunday, with winds remaining around 10 knots and seas generally 2 to 4 feet. However, the high will get pushed eastward as an approaching weak cold front moves across the local waters on Monday, bringing increasing rain and storm chances.
Offshore winds on Sunday will veer to out of the north on Monday behind the front, increasing to 10 to 20 knots Monday night into early Tuesday. As a result, boating conditions are forecast to deteriorate, with seas increasing to 4 to 8 feet Monday night into Tuesday. Drier air will filter in from the north across the local waters Tuesday, with dry conditions forecast to persist through Wednesday. Winds will gradually veer from the north to out of the east-northeast Tuesday and Wednesday, with wind speeds remaining between 10 to 15 knots. Seas will subside Tuesday night into Wednesday, generally falling between 3 to 5 feet.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 415 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Today...Dry airmass and warmer than normal temperatures today will lead to critically low RH values as low as the low to mid 30s over the interior, west of I-95 this afternoon. However, winds will be relatively light around 5 to 10 mph across inland areas. Winds may become breezy along the coast to around 15 mph, as they pick up out of the E/SE behind the inland moving east coast sea breeze, but this onshore flow will also keep min RH values in the 40s to low 50s along coastal areas.

Sunday...Warm and dry conditions will persist across east central Florida through the remainder of the weekend as an area of high pressure remains in place across the peninsula. Minimum RH values will remain in the 30 to 45 percent range across a majority of east central Florida, with areas along the coast remaining in the 45 to 55 percent range. West-southwest winds will dominate through the day, increasing to 10 to 15 mph across the area out ahead of an approaching frontal boundary.

Next Week...By Monday, rain and storm chances will increase as the aforementioned weak cold front moves southward across the area. Any storms that develop may be capable of producing lightning strikes, gusty winds, and brief downpours. The increased moisture across the area will cause minimum RH values to recover into the 45 to 65 percent range. Winds will veer to out of the north on Monday at 10 to 15 mph behind the front. A dry airmass is forecast to settle across east central Florida through the remainder of next week behind the weak front, with minimum RH values remaining in the 30 to 45 percent range across the interior west of I-95. Winds will also become onshore after Tuesday, increasing to 10 to 15 mph each afternoon.

CLIMATE
Issued at 415 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Highs will be above to well above normal this weekend, reaching the upper 80s to low 90s over much of the area. These values will be near daily record highs over the next couple days.
