AMZ500 Synopsis For Flagler Beach To Jupiter Inlet Out To 60 Nm- 257 Pm Est Tue Dec 5 2023
Synopsis..A secondary surge of fresh northerly winds will overspread the local waters late tonight and Wednesday as low pressure develops off the eastern u.s. Coast. This will produce hazardous boating conditions, especially in the gulf stream where higher seas may linger into Thursday morning. Boating conditions are then forecast to improve only slightly later in the day Thursday as high pressure builds into the southeast u.s. The high pressure center will push offshore late this week as the next cold front approaches this weekend.

Gulf stream hazards..Northwest winds increasing to 20 knots with seas building to between 5 and 6 feet late tonight north of sebastian inlet.

DISCUSSION

Tonight/Wed...Considerable high cloudiness will continue to stream overhead tonight then begin decrease/thin on Wed as band of upper level moisture shifts southward. A cool/dry NW breeze will persist overnight with min temps in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
On Wed, deepening low pressure off the Carolina coast will swing a reinforcing cold front across the area early in the day. Breezy NW winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 25 mph will produce below normal temperatures not getting out of the 60s Wed aftn despite more sunshine than we have seen today.

Wednesday Night-Friday...Chilly overnight into Thursday morning as a large surface high over the southeast US advects cold air from the north. Early in the night, inland temperatures in the low to mid 50s and coastal temperatures in the mid 50s to around 60, drop into the low 40s north of I-4, mid 40 across the rest of the inland areas. Along the coast, winds slacken while becoming onshore late in the night, keeping lows in the 50s, except up north near Daytona where lows dip into the upper 40s. As the high tracks east, winds continue to veer from north to northeasterly on Thursday to east to southeasterly late Friday, bringing temperatures back up. Afternoon highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, and low to mid 70s Friday. Lows Thursday night in the low to mid 50s inland and mid 50s to around 60 along the coast, and in the 60 Friday night. Mostly dry conditions.

Saturday-Tuesday..Models still calling for a significant mid- upper level trough to develop over the central US Saturday, cross the eastern US Sunday, then swing up into Canada Monday as broad troughing across the CONUS (southwesterly flow over Florida)
follows. ECM remains much sharper with the trough than the GFS, digging all the way into GOMEX, but has a more neutral tilt this time around. This develops a surface low pressure system in the central US Saturday, whose cold front sweeps through Florida Sunday. Still seeing potential for strong to sever storms with the frontal passage. Model guidance still showing H85 winds 30-35 kts in the GFS and 35-45 kts in the ECM, and ensembles 25-35 kts, higher to the north. Bulk shear also remains favorable 40-50 kts across most of the peninsula. Limiting factor continues to be sufficient instability, especially if things trend towards the GFS. PoPs 50 pct on Sunday.

Otherwise, mostly dry and warming back up with highs in the mid to upper 70s, except a quick cool down Monday with highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Lows in the 60s Sunday morning cool off to the 50s, except from the Treasure Coast to Lake Okeechobee where they remain in the low to mid 60s. Mostly dry conditions other than the frontal passage.

MARINE
Issued at 354 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023

Tonight/Wed...Low pressure will develop just offshore the Carolina coast and deepen as it lifts NE. This will sweep a reinforcing cold front across the waters late tonight and early Wed bringing Small Craft Advisory conditions to all the waters. NW winds increasing near 20 knots nearshore and 20 to 25 knots offshore.
Seas building 4 to 5 feet nearshore Wed and 6 to 8 feet offshore.

Wednesday Night-Saturday...Hazardous boating conditions continue into Thursday morning, and remain unfavorable going into the weekend. High pressure centered over the southeastern US Thursday, and extending over the local Atlantic waters, pushes offshore late Thursday. The next cold front approaches Florida Saturday.
Northerly winds 20-25 kts Wednesday night slacken and veer, becoming northeast 10-15 kts by Thursday morning. Winds continue to veer, becoming southeasterly Friday, and then southerly while increasing to 15-20 kts late Saturday. Seas up to 9 ft in the Gulf Stream late Wednesday subside to 4-6 ft Thursday afternoon. Seas 3-5 ft across the waters Friday and Saturday.

FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 354 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023

Dry air and an increase in NW winds will produce fire sensitive conditions Wednesday, with minimum RH values dropping into the mid 30s with NW winds 15 mph with gusts around 25 mph. Min RH values will quickly recover starting Thursday in developing onshore flow.
