10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working.

AMZ500 Synopsis For Flagler Beach To Jupiter Inlet Out To 60 Nm- 401 Am Est Mon Dec 16 2019
Synopsis..High pressure off the carolina coast this morning will continue seaward today with a trailing ridge axis slipping southward across the local atlantic waters through tonight. A cold front will push across the area late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Strong north winds behind the front will produce rapidly building seas on Wednesday, resulting in very hazardous boating conditions especially in the gulf stream.
Gulf stream hazards..Southeast winds 15 to 20 knots early this morning. The approximate location of the west wall of the gulf stream based on the real time ocean forecast system as of Saturday, december 14th. 44 nautical miles east of ponce inlet. 30 nautical miles east of port canaveral. 26 nautical miles east of sebastian inlet. 17 nautical miles east of fort pierce inlet. 11 nautical miles east of saint lucie inlet.

DISCUSSION.
. Above Normal Temperatures Today and Tuesday . . Rapidly Deteriorating Boating Conditions Wednesday Behind A Cold Front .
Today . Return flow around departing high pressure off the Carolina coast will produce southeast wind and increase the moisture in the low levels. Marine stratocumulus clouds will pancake beneath a strong subsidence inversion which will produce more cloudiness than yesterday especially southern sections. Moisture depth may increase enough to spit out a few light showers over the Treasure coast counties so have drawn a 20 PoP there. Temps and dewpoints will also be higher, producing a warmer and more humid day. Max temps will reach the lower 80s, except upper 70s along the Volusia coast and barrier island of Brevard. These temps are above normal but will be short of any record highs.
Tonight . Southerly flow will keep temperatures quite mild with lows in the mid to upper 60s, which is 10-15 degrees above normal. Scattered showers will lift north mainly over the Atlc waters but will brush the Treasure coast. Over the interior, guidance is showing stratus and fog developing, including some dense fog. With 925 mb winds around 20 knots, think that stratus is more likely but added patchy fog for the interior counties.
Tuesday-Wednesday . The next frontal passage is on tap for midweek, as an upper trough dipping through the Midwest swings the associated surface low along the Appalachians towards the New England coast. This will dig a cold front into the Deep South today (and associated severe weather to portions of AL/MS), then down the FL peninsula on Tuesday and Wednesday. Model discrepancy in exact timing is still present, with the GFS taking a slightly faster approach of the two, but latest runs are in decent agreement with an overall slower trend, with the frontal passage and associated northwesterly wind shift not occurring until late Tuesday into early Wednesday.
Ahead of the late Tues fropa, the Atlantic ridge axis extends across FL, maintaining south winds through the day before veering west in the early evening. High rain chances return on Tuesday, as pre- frontal moisture shifts southward. Main adjustment to forecast is restricting likely PoPs to northern forecast area reflecting the slower timing trend (which may need further adjustment as it appears bulk of moisture may arrive after sunset). As front pushes south, shower and isolated storm coverage will follow suit, with rain chances 60-70 percent areawide Tuesday night. Moisture will linger across the south, mainly from Lake Okeechobee to the Treasure Coast on Wednesday as front continues southward, with most showers clearing by Wednesday eve.
High temperatures on Tuesday will cruise to the low to mid 80s in southerly flow ahead of cold air behind the frontal passage (which looks to be the last 80 degree day for at least the next week). Timing of front may lead to further adjustments in low temps Tuesday, but as of now, northwest wind shift will bring values to the mid to upper 50s north of I-4, ranging from the low to upper 60s southward. As cold air advances south on Wednesday, highs will reach the low 60s across the north to the low/mid 70s southward. Finally by Wed night/Thu morning, noticeably colder air arrives, with morning lows in the low 40s across Lake/Volusia counties, mid 40s from the Orlando metro to Lake Okeechobee, and mid to upper 50s at coastal locations.
Thursday-Sunday . A short period of drier weather is expected to close out the work week, as high pressure builds in behind the mid week frontal passage, keeping rain chances to less than 20% on Thursday and Friday. Eyes focus on the potential for unsettled weather arriving this weekend, with exact unfolding still hidden within model discrepancy. GFS/ECM have actually flip-flopped solutions, with the former now digging an upper trough pushing across the region, with the ECM driving a closed upper low through the northern GOMEX to the coastal Carolinas. Due to (obvious) continued uncertainty and low confidence, have maintained at least scattered showers through the weekend as either solution will lead to another frontal passage for east central FL. Temperatures remain seasonal through the end of the period, with highs in the upper 60s/low 70s and lows in the 50s.
AVIATION. Patchy ground fog (BCFG) possible through 13Z otherwise mainly VFR conditions through 06Z with SE wind flow around 10 knots, a little stronger along the coast. Will see more cumulus than yesterday with cloud bases (occasional CIGs) around 035AGL. Conditions look favorable for stratus and patchy fog aft 06Z tonight especially MCO/SFB/LEE.
MARINE. Today . High pressure off the Carolina coast will continue seaward with return SE flow. Nocturnal increase in winds is producing 15-20 knots early this morning over the open Atlc so have started off with a Caution headline over the offshore waters. Winds will decrease 12-15 knots later this morning. Seas 3-4 feet with occasional 5 ft offshore.
Tonight . Winds veer S/SE as ridge axis presses southward across the waters ahead of an approaching cold front. Pressure gradient will support 10-15 knots.
Tuesday-Friday . Marine conditions will deteriorate rapidly late Tuesday, as another cold front pushes through the local Atlantic waters. South winds near 10 kts Tuesday will veer westerly then northwesterly behind the front early Wednesday, sending a surge of 20-25 kt winds southward. This sharp increase will build seas up to 8 ft in the nearshore waters and 10-11 ft offshore. A long-duration SCA is likely necessary through much of the week as winds remain above 20 kts and seas of at least 8 ft in the offshore waters.
