...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM,

Marine
EACHES... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 302am EDT Monday April 29 2024

High pressure ridging will begin to break down at the start of this week with a shortwave trough advecting through the southeast states Monday night through Tuesday. Modest moisture advection will occur as this feature causes low level winds to veer slightly southeasterly. Positive vorticity impulses from the shortwave and this increase in moisture will create slight chances for rain showers on Tuesday while shower chances on Monday will largely be a result of coastal convergence again as gusty easterly winds continue before decreasing Monday night. This disturbance will be a rather weak one and there will still be a fairly stable air mass in place, so overall expecting any shower activity to be widely scattered. The worst convection will likely form over the interior areas where sea and gulf breezes collide. Temperatures will mainly be in the low to mid 80s on Monday and mid to upper 80s on Tuesday across the region.

Long Term
(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 302am EDT Monday April 29 2024

Long term begins with mid level ridging over the eastern seaboard gradually migrating into the western Atlantic, while persisting surface high pressure keeping a relatively stable air mass over South Florida through at least the middle of the work week. As the mid level ridge moves further away from the region, pressure gradients across the area will relax and allow for the breezy periods to subside. Meanwhile, low-level winds across South Florida gradually veer SE by this time, allowing for a very modest moisture advection to briefly raise chances of rain into the teens to low 20s, mainly over the east coast and interior areas. But showers in general will remain very limited through the long term as relatively dry/stable air stays in place.

Afternoon high temperatures through Wednesday are expected to reach the low-mid 80s near the coasts, and upper 80s to around 90 inland. Then by the end of the work week, the mid level ridge strengthens and drives high temperatures into the upper 80s near the coasts and low 90s inland.

Marine
Issued at 302am EDT Monday April 29 2024

Conditions will continue to improve today and winds and seas gradually decrease. Calmer conditions should return for the middle of this week.

Beaches
Issued at 302am EDT Monday April 29 2024

A high risk of rip currents will continue across the Atlantic Coast beaches through the middle of the week. Conditions may start to improve towards the end of the week as onshore flow decreases, however, the rip currents risk may potentially remain elevated during this time frame.
