UPDATE
Issued at 913 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024
Dry conditions continue with high pressure (1018mb) remaining in place over the western Atlantic and eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Current GOES-16 satellite imagery shows partly cloudy skies with scattered mid level clouds over portions of central Florida.
Current temperatures are in the upper 60s to mid 70s with dew points in the mid 60 to upper 60s. Light and variable winds are expected this morning with generally light west to northwest flow this afternoon. Winds will back east-southeast with the east coast sea breeze pushing inland into the afternoon well west of I-95. Afternoon highs are on track to reach the mid 80s to low 90s with mostly sunny skies. Fire sensitive conditions continue today with RH values forecast to drop into the mid 30s over the interior west of I-95 (Okeechobee, Osceola, Orange, Lake, Seminole, and western Volusia counties).
AVIATION
(12Z TAFs)
Issued at 913 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024
VFR conditions are forecast through the TAF period. Light and variable winds are expected this morning with generally light west to northwest winds backing east-southeast into the afternoon near the coast, before reaching KSFB, KMCO, and KISM this evening with the east coast sea breeze pushing inland.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION

...Dry and Warm Weather Continues with Near Record Highs This Weekend...
Today-Tonight...Central Florida will reside between two high pressure centers, with one over the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and the other over the west Atlantic, with ridge axis just south of the area. This will produce weak surface winds across the area today, around 5 mph initially. However, as temperatures rise and become warmer than normal by 5-8 degrees this afternoon, the east coast sea breeze will develop and push inland, with E/SE winds increasing to around 10-15 mph along the coast. The inland moving sea breeze will lead to highs ranging from the mid to upper 80s along the coast, and low 90s over the interior. These values are forecast to remain just below high temperature records by 2-3 degrees across inland sites and by 4-6 degrees across coastal sites today (see Climate section below). Dry conditions will continue today into tonight, with skies mostly clearly to partly cloudy. Temperatures will gradually fall into the 70s this evening, with overnight lows in the 60s.
Saturday-Sunday...Troughing aloft across the midwest and northeastern US will lead to quasi-zonal flow aloft locally, with the associated area of high pressure at the surface remaining over the western Atlantic through the weekend. As a result, dry conditions are forecast to continue this weekend across east central Florida, with PoPs remaining below 15 percent. Light west-southwest winds will back to out of the south-southeast Saturday afternoon as the east coast sea breeze develops and moves inland, with winds increasing to 10 mph. By Sunday, winds aloft will become more westerly, which will cause the east coast sea breeze to struggle moving inland, likely remaining pinned at the coast. Moisture is forecast to increase across the peninsula on Sunday ahead of an approaching frontal boundary. Depending on the strength of the sea breeze on Sunday, some light, isolated showers may be possible Sunday afternoon. Confidence in this remains low, however, so have kept PoPs below mentionable levels.
In addition to the dry weather, temperatures are forecast to be above normal this weekend. In some locations across east central Florida, afternoon temperatures may even climb to 10 degrees above normal! Afternoon highs will reach the upper 80s to mid 90s both Saturday and Sunday, with low humidities keeping heat indices relatively close to their forecasted actual temperatures. Overnight temperatures will remain in the 60s.
Monday-Thursday...A weak cold front will approach the Florida peninsula on Monday, leading to increasing rain chances across east central Florida. Isolated storms cannot be ruled out, though confidence in this continues to not remain high due to limited moisture and modest instability. The front will move southward across the peninsula during the day before settling across southern Florida. Global guidance then indicates the development of an area of high pressure across the southeastern US behind the front, extending southward towards the area, though the extent southward varies between the Euro and the GFS. The GFS indicates lingering moisture remaining in place across southern portions of forecast area through the middle of next week, with the weakening frontal boundary lifting slightly northward. The Euro, on the other hand, keeps conditions dry behind the frontal boundary across east central Florida. Continued to go with the NBM as a middle ground between the two models, with isolated showers remaining in the forecast for now.
Winds will become northerly on Monday behind the front before veering onshore Tuesday through Thursday.
Afternoon highs will cool slightly on Monday behind the front, primarily north of the Orlando metro and the Cape to the upper 70s to low 80s. Areas southward will remain in the mid 80s to low 90s.
Tuesday and Wednesday, temperatures will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s across our coastal counties and in the mid to upper 80s across our interior counties. By Thursday, temperatures will warm slightly into the low 80s to upper 80s across east central Florida. Overnight lows generally in the 60s, with a few areas across northern Volusia and Lake counties falling into the upper 50s behind the front.
MARINE
Issued at 356 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024
Today-Tonight...Ridge axis of high pressure over the west Atlantic will reside just south of the waters, with relatively light winds out of the S/SW this morning, around 5-10 knots, becoming S/SE up to 10-15 knots this afternoon and evening with the inland moving east coast sea breeze. Winds then diminish as they veer to the W/SW late tonight back down to 5-10 knots. Seas will range from 2-3 feet, building up to 4 feet offshore tonight.
Saturday-Tuesday...An area of high pressure will remain in place across the western Atlantic through this weekend, keeping conditions dry across the local waters. Winds out of the west will become southerly each afternoon this weekend as the east coast sea breeze develops. Winds on Sunday will increase to 10 to 20 knots across the local waters as the pressure gradient begins to tighten as a result of an approaching weak frontal boundary. The weak cold front is forecast to cross the local waters on Monday, with rain chances increasing as a result. Isolated storms will be possible with this activity. Winds will veer to out of the north-northwest behind the boundary at 10 to 15 knots. Conditions will dry out on Tuesday as the front moves south of the area, with winds becoming northeasterly at 10 to 15 knots. Seas across the local Atlantic waters will generally remain between 2 to 4 feet through this weekend, with increases to 3 to 5 feet across the waters possible on Monday and Tuesday.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 356 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024
Today...Dry airmass and warmer than normal temperatures will again lead to lower RH values around the mid to upper 30s across the interior this afternoon. However, winds will be rather light and somewhat variable inland. Min RH values will remain above critical values in the 40 to 50 percent range along the coast, as the east coast sea breeze will develop and push inland, increasing winds to 10-15 mph.
Saturday-Wednesday...A broad area of high pressure will remain in place across the Florida peninsula through the weekend, with dry conditions continuing across east central Florida as a result.
Minimum RH values are forecast to remain in the 30 to 45 percent range west of I-95 across the interior through Sunday, with winds continuing to be light out of the west-southwest, becoming variable at times, until the east coast sea breeze develops and moves inland, leading to winds turning to out of the south- southeast around 10 mph. The next best chance for rain will be on Monday as a weak cold front moves across the area, with increasing rain chances forecast. Isolated storms cannot be ruled out with this activity. Minimum RH values will rise above critical values to 40 to 60 percent as a result of increasing moisture across east central Florida, with values forecast to once again drop into the middle of next week behind the weak front.
CLIMATE
Issued at 356 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024
Highs will be above to well above normal over the next few days, reaching the mid 80s to around 90 degrees along the coast and in the low 90s over the interior (mid 90s possible inland on Saturday). These values will be near daily record highs over the next few days.
