DISCUSSION

Today...A veering wind profile will allow for gradual moistening of the local airmass today with temperatures forecast about 5 degs warmer than yesterday's values with highs mainly in the mid 70s.
PWAT values will also climb from around a half inch last evening to 1.1 to 1.2 inches this afternoon. Surface high pressure off the NE FL coast early this morning will transition farther offshore allowing light to moderate E-SE low level flow to bring some isolated light rain showers toward the Martin county coast from the northern Bahamas. Will limit measurable slight rain chances to far southern sections this afternoon. Mid level altocu deck will also thicken overhead today with some sprinkles possible by the afternoon hours. A northeast swell will bring a moderate rip current risk to the Atlantic beaches.

Tonight...Low level southeast winds in the low levels and deepening moisture will bring low shower chances to the Treasure Coast and Atlantic waters overnight. Some sprinkles are also possible across mainly northern sections with some upglide above H7. Milder lows are expected from the upper 50s to lower 60s across much of the area and mid 60s closer to the Atlantic coast from the Cape south.

Saturday-Monday... Mid/upper level ridge builds over the western Atlantic through the weekend. High pressure will slide east- northeast over the western Atlantic ahead of an approaching cold front Sunday into Monday. By Sunday, low pressure will track across the Northeastern CONUS and drag the previously mentioned cold front across the Deep Southeast and the state of Florida Sunday evening into early Monday. Onshore southeasterly flow and PWATs ~ 1.5" will keep isolated to scattered showers and lightning storms in the forecast over the local Atlantic waters Saturday with isolated showers forecast over land. On Sunday, a 30-40kt southwesterly LLJ coupled with conditionally unstable mid-level lapse rates, 500mb temps ~ -10/-11C, low instability, and bulk shear up to 50-60kts will support the potential for strong to marginally severe storms by the late afternoon into early Monday morning.

The greatest potential for strong storms exists along and to the north of I-4. The main hazards will be wind gusts up to 50-60mph, heavy rainfall, and cloud to ground lightning strikes. Expect southeasterly winds Saturday to veer southwest Sunday with gusts up to 25-30mph, then veer north Monday with gusts up to 20-25mph. The cold front will move out of central Florida by mid Monday morning with drier air moving in behind it. Partly cloudy skies Saturday will become cloudy Sunday, then mostly sunny Monday. Afternoon highs are forecast to reach the upper 60s to low 80s through the weekend.
Much cooler behind the front with the low 60s to low 70s for highs on Monday.

Tuesday-Thursday... High pressure will build over the midsouth and Ohio Valley through midweek. Flow veers east-northeast into Tuesday.
Guidance signals that a weak trough will develop along the east coast of Florida with moisture increasing from the south through midweek. PWATs rise between 1.3-1.8" Wednesday and Thursday.
Isolated to scattered showers are forecast to develop Wednesday and Thursday with the highest chances towards the Treasure Coast (PoPs ~30-50%). Breezy conditions are forecast with wind gusts up to 20-30 mph each afternoon, especially Thursday along the coast. Expect afternoon highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s to the north of Lake Kissimmee to Melbourne with the mid to upper 70s to the south. Lows will drop into the mid 50s to mid 60s.

MARINE
Issued at 447 AM EST Thu Dec 7 2023

Today...SE winds up to 10-12 knots with seas 3-4 ft nearshore and around 5 ft offshore. Isolated showers will develop across the Atlantic.

Tonight...SE winds mainly 10-15 knots expected with seas ranging from 2-3 ft Volusia nearshore waters to 4-5 ft offshore of the Treasure Coast. Isolated showers are expected across the Atlantic tonight.

Saturday-Tuesday...A cold front will sag southeast across the waters Sunday evening into Monday morning which will bring the potential for strong to marginally severe storms. Expect isolated to scattered showers and lightning storms Saturday with scattered to numerous coverage Sunday into Monday. Any strong to severe storms that develop Sunday evening/early Monday will be capable of wind gusts up to 50-60mph, heavy rainfall, and cloud to water lighting strikes.
Southeasterly winds 10-15kts Saturday veer southwest Sunday around 20-25kts, northerly Monday at 15-20kts, and east-northeast Tuesday at 15-20kts. Seas build to 3-4ft with up to 5 ft in the offshore (20- 60nm) waters, before increasing to 4-6ft with up to 7-8ft in the Gulf Stream Monday.
