AMZ500 Synopsis For Flagler Beach To Jupiter Inlet Out To 60 Nm- 323 Am Est Mon Dec 4 2023
Synopsis..A cold front will sag across the local waters from late morning through early evening, reaching south florida tonight. Behind the front, high pressure will build over the local waters through Tuesday. A secondary surge of fresh northerly winds will reach the local waters Wednesday into Thursday as low pressure develops off the mid atlantic and northeast u.s. Coasts, producing poor to hazardous boating conditions, especially well offshore.

Gulf stream hazards..None.

DISCUSSION

Current through sunrise...mid-high cloud canopy continues to sag inexorably farther south early this morning. Ahead of this deck, low clouds and fog which have been increasing over west FL (much like early Sun morning) will spread N-NE into ECFL thru sunrise.
GOES RGBNTM imagery shows the clouds/fog encroaching upon Lake County and the Kissimmee River at this time, thus will need to monitor local METARs/traffic cameras/satellite imagery in order to evaluate need for issuance of any products to address it.

Today-tonight...Mid level ridge over Cuba/SE Bahamas flattens as the base of a large eastern CONUS trough drops across Florida, causing winds aloft to veer more westerly. At the surface, a slow- moving cold front over NOFL will reach the northern CWA by early afternoon, then push south through the central/southern CWA a little more quickly, getting south of Lake Okeechobee by mid evening. Potential for precip remains limited given continued dearth of forcing of consequence. Kept 15-20 PoPs for much of the CWA to account for potential of a few showers. Clouds increase from N-S with maces ranging from the U70s north to L80s central and south. Turning cooler behind the front with mins in the L50s north to U50s south (L60s along the Martin SLCO barrier islands).

Tuesday-Wednesday...Quasi-zonal flow will develop aloft on Tuesday across the peninsula. At the surface, an area of high pressure begins to develop across the central US on Tuesday, with northwest winds locally helping drier air filter across the area. Conditions remaining dry on Tuesday, with skies remaining partly cloudy due to lingering moisture in the upper levels. On Wednesday, a mid- level trough sweeps across the southeastern US, with a reinforcing frontal boundary pushing southward across the peninsula. The surface high will then shift eastward towards the southeastern US, causing winds to veer to north-northwest and eventually north Wednesday night. Wind speeds are forecast to increase across the area on Wednesday behind the boundary, with some occasional gusts possible. Dry conditions will persist, with skies clearing due to the drier airmass moving into place.

Temperatures on Tuesday will be closer to climatological normals for this time of year, with afternoon highs in the 70s. Overnight lows slightly cooler, with temperatures dipping into the upper 40s near and north of the I-4 corridor and remaining in the low 50s elsewhere. Wednesday, noticeably cooler as the cooler, drier airmass moves in behind the reinforcing boundary, with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 60s and overnight lows in the low to upper 40s west of I-95 and in the upper 40s to low 50s along the immediate coast.

Thursday-Sunday...The surface high will remain in place across the southeastern US through the remainder of the work week before slowly drifting eastward out across the Atlantic. This will result in dry conditions persisting through Saturday, with winds gradually veering from the north on Thursday to out of the southeast on Saturday. The southeasterly flow will begin to advect moisture northward across the peninsula on Saturday, with increasing rain chances on Sunday as the next frontal system begins to approach Florida. Temperatures generally on a warming trend through the long term, with highs on Thursday in the mid 60s to low 70s increasing to the low to mid 70s on Friday and then mid 70s to low 80s this weekend. Low temperatures are forecast to follow a similar warming trend, with overnight lows in the upper 40s to low 60s Thursday and Friday night, and then in the low 60s to low 70s Saturday night.

MARINE
Issued at 313 AM EST Mon Dec 4 2023

Today-tonight...West winds 10-15kt today ahead of the cold front will gradually veer to NW and slacken a tad to around 10kt as the front oozes south across the local waters. Seas 2-3ft, building up to 4ft well offshore tonight. Isolated showers.

Tuesday-Friday...Generally favorable boating conditions on Tuesday will deteriorate on Wednesday behind a reinforcing frontal boundary, with northwesterly winds increasing to 15 to 25 knots across the local Atlantic waters. This will lead to seas increasing from 2 to 3 feet on Tuesday to 4 to 6 feet across the nearshore waters and 6 to 8 feet across the offshore waters on Wednesday. Winds will weaken on Thursday out of the northeast to 10 to 15 knots, with seas subsiding to 3 to 6 feet. Conditions continue to improve on Friday, with seas 2 to 4 feet, with occasional 5 foot seas across the offshore waters.
Dry conditions are forecast through the period thanks to an area of high pressure across the southeastern US.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 313 AM EST Mon Dec 4 2023

Drier air behind the front will produce fire sensitive weather through mid week, with minimum RH values on Tuesday falling into the mid to upper 30s to low 40s near and north of the Orlando metro, with low to mid 40s southward. Wednesday, minimum RH values will generally be in the mid 30s to low 40s across east central Florida before increasing to upper 40s to low 50s area wide on Thursday.
Northwest winds will prevail through midweek, with wind speeds near 10 mph on Tuesday before increasing to 10 to 15 mph on Wednesday with higher gusts possible.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 313 AM EST Mon Dec 4 2023

Over the past hour, MVFR CIGs BKN018-025 have started to spread across the NW 5 aerodromes, with no VSBY reductions noted as of yet. Will need to throw a few AMDs out since this is occurring a little ahead of schedule. Bases are a good 1KFT+ higher than the advertised in the TAFs, however METARs show IFR CIGs just a little ways upstream, so may keep the forecast lower CIGs. MVFR to IFR VSBYs expected at several of these terminals, which will erode 13Z-15Z. CIGs rising to VFR with multilayered cloud decks as low as BKN040-050.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 313 AM EST Mon Dec 4 2023

The Saint Johns River at Astor is forecast to remain within Minor Flood stage through at least the middle of next week, while very slowly declining.
