Issued at 918pm EDT Monday Mar 18 2024

Deteriorating boating conditions are forecast across the local Atlantic waters tonight. Winds are forecast to increase out of the north behind a cold front that is moving southward across the local Atlantic waters, with winds 10 to 15 knots increasing to 20 to 30 knots late tonight. Occasional wind gusts between 35 to 40 knots will be possible, especially across the offshore waters. In response to these increasing winds, seas will also increase to 6 to 10 feet. A Small Craft Advisory is currently in effect across the offshore Volusia and Brevard waters, and will expand to include the remaining waters after 1 AM.

Isolated to scattered shower development will continue to be possible tonight as the front sags southward, with rain chances decreasing through the overnight hours. Isolated storms cannot be ruled out, though confidence in any more development is low. Dry conditions are forecast behind the front.

Fire Weather
Issued at 918pm EDT Monday Mar 18 2024

Tue-Thu (Previous)...Very dry conditions through mid-week, as post- frontal air leads to min RH values around 45% or lower Tuesday area- wide and as low as the upper 20%s across the interior. This will lead to very sensitive fire weather conditions when combined with northerly winds 10-15 mph, and up to 15-20 mph along the coast, Tuesday morning. But, will see winds decrease by Tuesday afternoon. Generally Good to Very Good dispersion in the morning will become Fair to Generally Good through the day.

Further drying is then forecast Wed, with widespread min RHs in the mid to upper 20%s, while coastal areas south of the Cape remain in the mid to upper 30%s. However, winds become light, as high pressure builds into the area. Wind directions will be variable, but a sea breeze is possible during the afternoon. Lighter winds will lead to Poor to Fair dispersion.

Will see some improvement Thu, though min RH 30-45% is still forecast, with the driest conditions inland. Winds increase once again, becoming easterly around 8-12 mph in the afternoon.
