Short Term - Today through Saturday
Issued at 414am EDT Fri September 29 2023

Low clouds and patchy fog are present across the Florida Peninsula this morning. This is being supported by an upper level trough slowly moving off the East Coast while associated frontal boundary stalls across central portions of the state through the weekend. This set up along with ample moisture available should support showers and storms over the area through the period. East to northeasterly winds should keep the highest chances over southwest Florida during the afternoon and evening hours. Cloud coverage will likely be the limiting factor on how much activity develops keeping daytime heating from destabilizing the atmosphere in some areas. In addition, this will also keep temperatures from getting too warm capping them in the upper 80s. Similar conditions are anticipated on Saturday.

.LONG TERM (SUN-THU)... Issued at 414am EDT Fri September 29 2023

By early next week, the aforementioned upper level trough and its frontal boundary lifts northeast of the area while high pressure builds behind it. On Sunday, drier conditions begin to slide down across the Sunshine State. As a result, rain chances decrease area-wide and overnight lows could potentially drop below 70 degrees by mid week. Afternoon highs remain in the upper 80s but should feel a little bit less uncomfortable during this time.

Marine
Issued at 414am EDT Fri September 29 2023

Stationary frontal boundary extending across central Florida and over the Gulf waters. This should support showers later this morning and gradually move inland into the afternoon through the weekend. East to northeasterly winds prevail with an onshore shift near the coast. Higher winds and seas are possible near thunderstorms, but winds away from storms should remain less than 15 knots and seas should remain around 2 feet or less through the weekend before starting to build as winds increase next week.

Fire Weather
Issued at 414am EDT Fri September 29 2023

A front stalled along central portions of the state will keep ample moisture across fire districts through the period. Minimum humidities remain well above critical levels through the period. East to northeasterly winds remain in place with sea breeze shifting winds near the immediate coast. Otherwise, no fire weather concerns at this time.
