.SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 433am EDT Sat April 26 2025

Mostly clear skies, light winds and temperatures in the 60s in paradise this morning. It is all sponsored by area of high pressure that remains across the peninsula. This will allow afternoon highs to range from the low to mid 90s. Light easterly winds prevail with an onshore shift during the afternoon. Very dry air is also in place, which will keep elevated fire conditions today and Sunday. Then, high pressure begins to weaken with temperatures peaking on Sunday.

.LONG TERM (MON-FRI)... Issued at 433am EDT Sat April 26 2025

On Monday, high pressure is pushed out by approaching disturbance. Model guidance continues to support activity, especially along and north of the I-4 corridor. There should be enough upper level support and some instability with the main limiting factor being moisture. Front falls apart as it moves south and it followed by high pressure that begins to build back into the area. Warm temperatures remain in place with highs in the 90s and overnight lows in the 60s.

A n approaching frontal boundary will move over the waters early next week increasing chance of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms. Behind it, high pressure to the north and northeast will then rebuild over the waters by midweek with east to southeast flow returning.

Issued at 433am EDT Sat April 26 2025

Area of high pressure remains in control with fairly light winds mostly out of the east to southeast. Winds become westerly each afternoon near the coast as the sea breeze pushes inland. Critical minimum humidity values are expected over interior locations today and Sunday.
