Today - Tonight
An area of high pressure will remain in place across the southeastern US, slowly drifting eastward towards the Atlantic today, keeping conditions dry and skies mostly clear through tonight. Light and variable winds this morning will increase out of the east as the east coast sea breeze develops and moves inland. As a result, afternoon temperatures are forecast to only reach the upper 70s along the coast and highs west of I-95 in the low to mid 80s. Humidity is forecast to remain low. Winds are forecast to become light and variable once again tonight, with overnight lows falling into the mid 50s to low 60s.

Thursday-Friday...Surface high pressure stays in place as 500mb ridging begins to build over the Gulf of Mexico later in the week. Dry weather is forecast to continue with a dry atmosphere in place over Florida. The east coast sea breeze is expected to develop each afternoon and move inland, producing gusty winds 15 to 20 mph, especially closer to the coast. Temperatures each afternoon will reach seasonal normals, rising into the mid to upper 80s well inland. Morning lows start in the upper 50s to low 60s Friday morning, warming a bit by Saturday morning into the 60s across the board.

Saturday-Tuesday...A ridging pattern will become well established this weekend across the eastern U.S. and Florida Peninsula. Highs each day remain near normal, in the low 80s (coast) to the mid 80s (inland), with mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky conditions. Medium range guidance is hinting at the potential for some marine shower activity on and off through the weekend, but mentionable Probability of Precipitation was kept offshore for now. Breezy onshore winds are forecast for the weekend, gusting 20 to 25 mph, perhaps up to 30 mph at the immediate coast. Next week, surface high pressure remains in control as daytime highs start to climb into the mid/upper 80s inland. Again, while models indicate a potential for a few showers brushing the coast, confidence remains too low at this time to include in the official forecast.

Today - Tonight
High pressure will continue to dominate across the local Atlantic waters, with dry conditions expected today through tonight. East-southeast winds 5 to 10 knots will prevail, increasing slightly to 10 to 15 knots across the nearshore waters this afternoon as the east coast sea breeze develops. Tonight, winds will become light and variable across the local waters. Seas are forecast to remain between 3 to 5 feet.

Thursday-Sunday...Favorable boating conditions persist through Friday before onshore winds increase 15-20 kt Saturday and Sunday, creating poor boating conditions. Gusts over the waters could reach 25 kt this weekend. Seas respond by climbing to 5-6 ft, mainly over the Gulf Stream.

Fire Weather
Issued at 320am EDT Wednesday April 24 2024

Today...Dry conditions will persist across east central Florida today, with minimum RH values in the 30 to 45 percent range across the area. Winds are forecast to remain light out of the east- southeast this morning, but will pick up to 10 to 15 mph out of the east as the sea breeze moves inland.

Thursday-Friday...Relative humidity values fall to around 30 to 35 percent inland again on Thursday, recovering a bit into the upper 30s to mid 40s on Friday. Easterly winds remain light, at or below 10 mph Thursday, increasing to 10-15 mph on Friday.
