DISCUSSION.
Current-Tonight . Quick clearing of low clouds has tapered off early this afternoon as daytime heating and a mid-level trough has kept persistent cloud cover over the southern third of the forecast area. Scattered showers continue over the Atlantic waters east of Vero Beach, but remaining well offshore so no impacts to land areas. Most recent GOES PW imagery does reflect the moist air dropping south of Cape Canaveral as anticipated with PW of 0.8" for the Space and Treasure Coasts dwindling to a mere 0.3" over NE Florida. These lower PWATs should arrive to our area overnight, eliminating the chance for dense low stratus as seen the last several mornings. Highs this afternoon in the low to mid 70s will feel pleasant as dewpoints fall to the 50s. Tonight, temperatures will fall to the upper 40s and lower 50s except mid to upper 50s for coastal sites. Only mentionable rain chances beyond sunset will remain over the Atlantic waters, distant from the Treasure Coast.
Tomorrow . Tomorrow will be rated a "10/10" for March days, with high pressure building over the area keeping air dry and temperatures pleasant. Rain chances near zero as the mid level trough exits east into the Atlantic, with clear skies, although a few diurnal cumulus will be possible. Highs will remain near average in the mid 70s.
Saturday . A mid/upper level trough moving through the southeast U.S. and FL will develop low pressure over the Gulf that will slide E/SE and dampen along a cold front as the boundary settles southward near to south of Lake Okeechobee. This will increase rain chances Saturday (current PoPs around 80 percent), with overrunning moisture north of the boundary leading to widespread mainly stratiform rain across the area for much of the day and into the evening hours before trough exits the area, shifting front farther south.
Model soundings indicate any instability, surface based or elevated, will be limited at best. However, with enhanced forcing from the unsettled pattern aloft, isolated embedded thunderstorms could be possible, so for now kept a slight chance of storms mentioned. Very cold 500mb temps around -14C to -16C could lead to some hail, potentially large hail, but with limited CAPE any threat for severe weather remains quite low.
Cooler air north of the front and widespread clouds and rainfall will keep max temps Saturday below normal in the 60s from Brevard and Osceola counties northward, and low to mid 70s south. Lows into Saturday night will fall into the 50s for much of the area, and possibly into the upper 40s northwest of I-4.
Sunday . Secondary trough axis aloft will shift offshore of the eastern U.S. coast into Sunday, with some lingering clouds and showers possible over the coastal waters and along the coast from Brevard southward. Otherwise, drier air building in will lead to mostly to partly sunny skies across the region, with highs still cooler than normal in the upper 60s to low 70s. Lows will fall into the mid 40s across Lake/inland Volusia counties and upper 40s to mid 50s farther south.
Monday-Thursday . (Previous Discussion) A weak trailing short wave trough will cross the GOMEX Mon and FL Mon night, with minimal impact expected except to perhaps briefly enhance mid level clouds Mon night. Otherwise, a mid level ridge will rebuild over the GOMEX and toward Florida from Tue onward. Strong surface high pressure ridge building over the western Atlantic will maintain a moderate, occasionally breezy onshore ENE-E flow regime. Slightly below normal temps Mon (L70s/50s) will rebound to near normal Tue (L-M70s), then rising to above normal thereafter. Dry through the period.
AVIATION. Stubborn low clouds from VRB south has kept MVFR cigs present through the early afternoon, with all other terminals lifting to VFR. Expect low cigs to lift through sunset, as has been the trend at KMLB over the past few hours. NW winds will veer N tonight, with VFR areawide beyond 00Z.
MARINE.
Tonight-Tomorrow . Lingering 6-7 ft seas in the offshore waters south of Cape Canaveral will improve through the evening, decreasing to 4-6 ft by midnight. North winds 15-20 knots becoming 10-15 overnight. Tomorrow, winds veer N/NE at 10-15 knots with seas showing continued improvement to 3-4 ft.
Sat-Tue . Boating conditions will remain poor to hazardous through the weekend and into early next week, as a fresh E/NE breeze generally continues through the period, building seas up to 6-9 feet through the weekend, and subsiding to 5-7 feet Mon/Tue.
