There is more moisture in place across the penesula this afternoon.
Surface dewpoints are generally in the upper 60s to near 70. Latest visible satellite imagery indicates an expansive cumulus field. Not seeing much in the way of vertical development but expect this will begin later this afternoon. PW values will continue to rise this afternoon and evening to around 1.6 inches. These values are around the 90th percentile for early May climatology. Additionally, there is a weak mid-level shortwave trough moving through the region. All of these factors coupled with peak afternoon heating should lead to our best chance for showers/storms in quite a few days. Chances will range from 20-50% with higher chances across the interior. Activity should peak around 00z (8pm) and begin to diminish in coverage and intensity shortly after this timeframe. Mostly dry conditions are forecast overnight with lows in the mid to upper 60s.
Moisture looks to fade a bit tomorrow afternoon with PW dropping by a tenth of an inch or so. Additionally, mid-level ridging builds in with anticyclonic flow aloft. Due to these factors, decided to lower PoPs slightly for Sunday afternoon. Still expect isolated to scattered showers to develop with precipitation chances around 20- 40%. Highs will once again be on the warm side in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Similar conditions are forecast on Monday with PoPs tapering off in the 20-30% range Monday afternoon.
The surface high will move overhead by Tuesday and slightly drier air will move into the region. PoPs will continue to decrease to only around 10-20% on Tuesday. Upper level heights will continue to build across the region throughout the remainder of the week. These increasing heights will lead to climbing temperatures and dry conditions. Highs Wednesday through the remainder of the forecast period will be in the low 80s to mid 90s. Lows will generally be near 70.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 106 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024
VFR conditions will continue across the terminals. A widespread cumulus field has developed across the region. Expect showers/storms to develop later this afternoon/evening in the moist environment. Went ahead and introduced VCTS in the terminals at KPGD, KFMY, KRSW, and KLAL. The highest confidence in showers/storms is at KLAL in the interior. Any ongoing showers/storms should diminish in coverage and intensity after 02z with dry conditions overnight.
MARINE
Issued at 348 AM EDT Sat May 4 2024
Atlantic high pressure will ridge into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico through the rest of the weekend and into early next week, with southeasterly flow turning onshore near the coast each afternoon with the sea breeze. The ridge will drift south Tuesday and Wednesday, with winds becoming slightly more southerly. Wind speeds will remain below headline criteria. Rain chances will remain low, but a few sea breeze storms could drift into the waters each day during the afternoon and evening hours.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 106 PM EDT Sat May 4 2024
Afternoon/evening showers/storms are forecast to develop over the next couple of days. Drier conditions will arrive around mid-week.
Minimum RH values will drop down into the 30-40% range across the interior next week but winds will be below red flag criteria.
