UPDATE
Issued at 736 PM EDT Fri Nov 1 2024
Beautiful evening with temperatures in the upper 70s and dewpoints in the upper 60s. A few showers made it into Polk and Highlands counties, but that activity is diminishing. Tonight low temperatures will remain mild once again, only falling into the middle to upper 60s with a few locations across SWFL only touching 70 degrees. Additional lower-level moisture is expected tomorrow with PWATs between 1.5-1.8 inch possible. This will give us a better shot at seeing some light showers or even an isolated thunderstorm across the area during the afternoon hours. Above average temperatures are expected again tomorrow with highs in the middle to upper 80s.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 736 PM EDT Fri Nov 1 2024
VFR conditions generally expected across the area through the forecast period with the slight chance of lower ceilings during the early morning hours causing MVFR conditions. Easterly winds around 10 knots are expected by midday on Saturday. Isolated chance for showers/thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon, but current guidance keeps it away from TAF sites.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 245 PM EDT Fri Nov 1 2024
Upper-level ridging remains situated across the FL peninsula as the surface ridge axis remains situated off the North Carolina coast.
The gradient has weakened with a far smaller pressure difference (4 to 5 mb), favoring a lighter easterly surface flow. This will continue for the next few days.
As the gradient weakens, the low-level southeasterly flow is advecting moisture back into the area. However, there has still been a drier northerly flow aloft, limiting depth. There could be a few isolated sprinkles and perhaps a shower this afternoon across SWFL.
However, this remains a low chance at around 20% or less.
As the low-level easterly flow deepens, the chance for storms will increase. There is a 20% to 40% chance for storms tomorrow - the highest chances since Milton. Looking beyond, PWATs continue to increase and warm, humid conditions become more prevalent. By early next week, it could be feeling more like summer rather than November.
The mid-to-late week time-frame is less certain as far as exact weather specifics. The National Hurricane Center is continuing to track two areas that could slowly organize into a tropical system in the coming days. The exact evolution of these systems will play a role in our weather. For now, the main expectation is for these systems to create a setup more favorable for storms, and perhaps increase the easterly gradient once more.
