8/26/2020 The 7 day forecast is taking about 5 seconds to load but it will eventually load. NOAA is still working on it. 8/18/2020 NOAA continues to have trouble. Wind guest will occasionally be left off graphs. I am working with NOAA to resolve the issue. 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. |

AMZ500 Synopsis For Flagler Beach To Jupiter Inlet Out To 60 Nm- 841 Pm Est Fri Nov 27 2020
Synopsis..A high pressure ridge across central florida will weaken Saturday as a weak cool front sags to near or just north of the volusia count waters. A much stronger cold front will push south through the local atlantic Monday. Southwest winds will increase out ahead of the front through Sunday night, then shift to west northwest behind the front Monday through Tuesday, then becoming north and northeast through Wednesday. This will bring hazardous boating conditions back to the local waters.
Gulf stream hazards..None. The approximate location of the west wall of the gulf stream based on the real time ocean forecast system as of Tuesday, november 24th. 52 nautical miles east of ponce inlet. 36 nautical miles east of port canaveral. 27 nautical miles east of sebastian inlet. 17 nautical miles east of fort pierce inlet. 11 nautical miles east of saint lucie inlet.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 815 PM EST Fri Nov 27 2020
UPDATE.
Current . High pressure ridge axis remains in place from the eastern GOMEX across central Florida and into the Atlantic. A few scraps of diurnal SCU remain overhead near and north of I-4, mainly across Lake County, clearing to the south.
Clear skies and calm winds will allow temps to continue to drop overnight, reaching the L60s by sunrise Sat. Some patchy, shallow mist or fog is possible late tonight, however the normally more fog prone NW interior areas are expected to see an increase in mid/high clouds late which could favor a better chance for fog development over the southern counties toward sunrise. Regardless, the fog is not expected to become widespread/dense, where and if it does manage for form. No changes forthcoming to the ZFP.
AVIATION. mainly VFR/SCT to SCT250 through 13z. Shallow, patchy mist will be possible after 09-10Z, but confidence isn't at all high enough to add it to any of the TAFs beyond what was inherited (TEMPO MVFR 10-13Z at KLEE).
MARINE. Overnight . A light S-SW breeze below 10kt will gradually veer more westerly late tonight-Sat. Seas 2-3ft near shore and 3-4ft offshore.

. Hazardous Boating Conditions and Colder Temperatures Early Next Week .
Saturday . Ridge axis extending across the area from high pressure over the west Atlantic will continue to slide southward and weaken, as a weak front from the north moves into northErn portions of central Florida into tomorrow afternoon. Warm and dry conditions should generally prevail. However, may see a few showers develop and push eastward, mainly into the afternoon across areas from Orlando to the Cape northward, as front slides southward into the area. Will keep low end PoPs around 20-30 percent across this area on Saturday. Highs once again reaching the low 80s over much of the region during the afternoon.
Sun-Mon . The high pressure system across N. FL will continue to weaken and the weak front over N and central FL will dissipate on Sunday. Moisture from the frontal boundary will allow for isolated to scattered chance for showers mainly north of Sanford. It will remain warmer than normal on Sunday, with highs in the low 80s, except upper 70s north and east of Orlando where greater cloud cover and cooler onshore flow would exist, with lows in the 60s. Latest guidance continues to indicate a pattern change over the region as a cutoff low over the US South plains phases with a deeper trough moving quickly across the central plains. A strong cold front will approach the area early Mon, accompanied by a band of showers and some storms. The GFS and Euro are in somewhat better agreement timing wise in the latest model runs with the approach of the front and any associated convection. Monday remains the best chance of strong storms with a notable airmass change late Monday leading to lows dropping into the upper 40s to Lower 50s Monday night except for low 40s north of Sanford.
Tue-Fri . (Modified previous version) Cooler readings persist into Tue with highs only in the upper 50s to mid 60s under mostly sunny skies. Post-frontal high pressure will then gradually move in from the north and west toward mid-week, remaining the dominant feature through the middle of next week. The coolest readings of the week are advertised Tue night with lows dipping into the mid to upper 30s along and west of I-4, with mid 40s south to Lake Okeechobee and roughly west of US Highway One. A continuation of dry and cool conditions through midweek with lows once again in the mid to upper 40s for a large portion of the interior areas Wed night. A limited warming trend will occur the latter half of next week with another fast moving system spreading high/mid clouds, and perhaps enough moisture for sprinkles or light showers to the parts of the area area late next week.
AVIATION. Mainly VFR. Light low level winds may allow for some patchy fog to develop late tonight, but model guidance currently keeps better potential for any cig/vis reductions in stratus across north Florida late tonight through early Saturday. Have added a tempo group for MVFR visibilities from 10-13Z at KLEE, otherwise have kept any additional mention of vis reductions out of the TAFs.
MARINE.
Tonight-Saturday . Favorable boating conditions expected with ridge axis across the area weakening as a weak front moves southward into the northern coastal waters into Saturday afternoon. Winds will remain rather light and variable around 5 to 10 knots, with seas 2-4 feet.
Sun-Thu . (Modified previous discussion) Favorable boating conditions continue on Sunday, with winds out of the SW around 10-15 KT, and seas 3-4 ft. A strong cold front, preceded by a band of gusty showers and storms is expected to move quickly through the area and offshore Monday. Deteriorating boating conditions late Sunday night into Monday as southerly winds increase to 15 to 20 knots, and then become W 20 to 25 kt, with higher gusts during Monday. SCA headlines for winds and seas will likely be needed needed by Mon into Tue, with gradually improving conditions as gradient winds/seas slowly diminish and high pressure initially upstream, becomes located closer to the area midweek.
