Kmlb wsr-88d shows scattered showers and isolated storms over the interior with inland moving sea breeze aided by ample moisture and daytime heating. Activity continues to move from the SE twd the NW at around 15 mph. Greatest chance for convection this afternoon into early evening will remain over the interior. Both the surface upper mid- level ridges continue to remain north of the local area due to unsettledness southward. This will continue to provide a deep onshore flow across the area. The GFS does show lower pwats (drier air) filtering into the area from the east late afternoon into the overnight. As showers diminish this evening across our western coverage warning area, we maintain a schc for showers along the coast and near shore atlc waters. Main impacts with any showers storms today will be occasional lightning, gusty winds in upwards of around 40 mph, and torrential downpours possibly leading to nuisance minor flooding locally. Cloud debris will thin this evening areawide. Min temps m-u70s over the interior and u70s to around 80 along the coast. Previous extended forecast discussion... wed-thu... Subtropical ridge axis fcst to remain over north fl thru midweek, albeit in a weakened state as a broad troffing pattern over the great lakes new england region prevents its WRN flank from expanding any farther north than the fl ga border. This will generate an E serly flow thru the h100-h50 lyr with models estimating the h85-h50 steering flow arnd 10kts. This flow pattern will allow the east coast sea breeze to form by midday and push well inland, with the west half of the peninsula as the focus for diurnal convection. Looking upstream, low mid lvl moisture lvls north of the bahama bank are not all that impressive with h100-h70 mean rh largely AOB 70pct and h85-h50 avg dewpoint depressions btwn 7c-10c. H85-h30 omega and vort fields are weak at best, while at the upr lvls, models are keeping the fl peninsula on the left (descending) flank of a tutt that will choke off upr lvl divergence. Furthermore, a weak mid lvl thermal ridge builds into central fl with h70 temps warming from 8c currently to arnd 10c on thu. Temps aloft are tepid as well with h50 readings holding btwn -5c -6c... Yielding mid lvl lapse rates arnd 5.5c km at best. Will go with low precip chances thru thu, with interior counties arnd 30pct, coastal counties arnd 20pct. Onshore flow will keep aftn |

Subtropical ridge axis fcst to meander acrs north central fl as a cold front drops through the mid atlc deep south. Pops ramp up Fri Sat as the next easterly wave works its way around the base of the ridge and acrs the fl peninsula. Serly flow pattern will continue to favor the west peninsula with sea breeze convergence and mesoscale boundary collisions, but with increasing moisture on the backside of the wave, prefer to paint the entire CWA with 50pct thru the weekend. Temps near avg for mid late aug. Aviation MainlyVFR. Greatest chance for tempo ifr MVFR conditions in showers and storms this afternoon will be near to northwest of the i-4 corridor along outflow boundary moving northwest and east coast sea breeze pushing inland. Lingering shower or thunderstorm possible near klee into the evening, otherwise only a slight chance for onshore moving showers will persist along the coast overnight into early Wednesday morning. Marine Afternoon-tonight... Ridge axis remains north of the local waters. Deep onshore flow across the entire area. Serly flow throughout the period 10-15 kts over the open atlc.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
