12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

DISCUSSION.
. Cooler and Drier This Weekend Behind a Cold Front But Poor to Hazardous Boating Conditions Continue .
Through tonight . Latest surface observations show the cold front near Tallahassee. As it approaches toward central Florida, lift will continue to increase out ahead of it resulting in isolated to scattered showers into this evening. Up until now, models had been very consistent in showers weakening as they push across east central Florida. However, the latest HRRR is trying to show a few storms developing toward the Volusia and Brevard coasts just after sunset. This doesn't seem completely out of the question since temperatures aloft are indeed cold but think the modest instability and moisture will win out in this scenario to keep only showers in the forecast.
Rain chances expected to end by midnight as drier air begins to rapidly work its way in behind the front with winds becoming WNW by sunrise. Low temperatures will also be cooler with low-mid 50s north of Orlando and mid-upper 50s to the south.
Saturday . Skies will continue to rapidly clear out during the morning as much drier air overtakes central Florida behind the front. NW/WNW winds around 10 mph, sunny skies, and high temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s will make for a wonderful day outside.
Saturday Night-Monday . (modified previous discussion) Surface high pressure builds in from the Gulf Coast into FL behind tonight's cold frontal passage, as cooler/drier air takes hold through early Sunday. A weak surface wave associated with the southern stream vort pushes across the central-eastern GOMEX Sunday night, and across southern FL Monday, followed by another passing front late Monday.
Colder temps expected Saturday night with widespread low to mid 40s across east central Florida. Cooler with widespread 60s for highs on Sunday, then becoming cloudy with milder temps Sunday night along with increasing rain chances late Sunday night into early Monday.
Tuesday-Friday . (modified previous discussion) Progressive flow pattern continues into late next week. A weak and broad short wave trough will move across the Southeast CONUS/FL Wednesday into Wednesday night, followed by flat ridging aloft through early Friday. High pressure will build over the area for Tuesday into Wednesday. Model discrepancies exist on Wednesday where the GFS moves a surface low and cold front across FL, however these features are mostly nonexistent in the ECMWF. Depending on how this evolves could see showers/storms possible, but too much uncertainty to add to the forecast at this time.
Weak high pressure will rebuild again into FL and the western Atlantic Thursday. By next Friday, global models continue to hint at an area of disturbed weather approaching FL ahead of a deep southern stream trough. This appears to be the best opportunity for rain and perhaps lighting storms, in the next seven days. Temps will average out near to slightly over normal for much of the work week.
AVIATION. Mainly VFR. Isolated showers currently developing across the interior will move toward the coast into this evening. May need to add VCSH at a few sites, but coverage is still expected to be low. A cold front will push across central Florida overnight tonight into Saturday morning with some short-duration MVFR ceilings possible as it does so. TAFs introduce FEW/SCT during times of expected wind shifts, and then drier air will begin to rapidly to move in from north to south behind the front. VFR/SKC by Saturday morning with a few clouds possibly lingering near FPR/SUA.
MARINE.
Tonight-Saturday . Poor to hazardous boating conditions will remain across the waters although conditions are forecast to improve slightly. Small craft advisory from Flagler Beach to Sebastian Inlet has been replaced with a caution statement, but the advisory has been extended through this evening across the nearshore waters south of Sebastian Inlet due to buoy 41114 showing swells still approaching 7 feet.
Winds will gradually veer overnight tonight behind a cold front to WNW/NW and increase to around 15 knots by sunrise.
For Saturday, northwesterly winds will remain around 10 knots nearshore and 10-15 knots offshore. Seas are forecast 5-6 feet across the nearshore waters while still remaining 6-7 feet offshore.
Sunday . North-northwest winds 10-15 knots 10-15KT early Sunday morning weaken to 5-10 knots by early afternoon as high pressure builds over the waters. Moderate swells of 5-6 feet will subside through the day, dropping off to 3-4 feet by Sunday night.
Monday-Wednesday . Winds freshen out of the west Monday ahead of the surface cold front. A northwest surge of winds around 10 knots expected behind this front Monday night. Seas are forecast to remain 3-4 feet across the waters, but could see up to 5 feet if the wind surge is stronger. North winds around 10 knots Tuesday will become light and variable on Wednesday. Generally favorable boating conditions for mid week.
FIRE WEATHER. For this weekend . much drier air is expected to move into central Florida behind a cold front. Min RH is expected to fall as low as 30 to 35 percent during the afternoon hours each day across the interior.
