...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM,

Marine
EACHES... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Sunday) Issued at 257am EDT Sat April 27 2024

The mid-level ridge will have continuing influence over the forecast area through the weekend while deeper troughing sets up over the central CONUS. The overall flow will be stronger as a result of this largely enhanced pressure gradient and allow for a period of gustier winds this weekend. Surface high pressure will be situated in the western Atlantic under the ridge, leading to gusty easterly winds in the South Florida region. Otherwise, predominantly dry weather continues under the ridge with Probability of Precipitation under 10%. However, a few sprinkles cannot be ruled out near the east coast and over the waters due to potential coastal convergence effects from the increased surface winds. Temperatures will be in the low 80s over the weekend for east coast areas and mid to upper 80s over the interior and west coast.

Long Term
(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 257am EDT Sat April 27 2024

A rather stout mid level ridge over the Eastern Seaboard on Monday will slowly start to shift into the western Atlantic heading into Tuesday and into the middle of the week. At the surface, a strong area of high pressure off of the Southeast coast will remain in place through the middle of the week, however, it will be weakening heading into Tuesday and Wednesday. This will allow for the pressure gradient across South Florida to decrease which will cause the winds to gradually diminish as they veer and become east southeasterly. While most of the region will remain dry with high pressure nearby, some lower level moisture will be taking place during this time frame. This will be just enough moisture to support some isolated shower development along the east southeasterly breeze mainly over the Atlantic waters and east coast. With instability lacking across the region, any shower that does develop will be low topped and short lived. High temperatures through the early and middle portion of the week will generally rise to around 80 along the east coast and into the upper 80s to around 90 across Southwest Florida.

The weather pattern does not change much heading towards the end of the week as mid level ridging continues across South Florida. At the surface, high pressure in the western Atlantic will keep easterly wind flow in place during this time frame. While most areas will remain dry, isolated shower activity still cannot be ruled out along the easterly breeze over the Atlantic waters and east coast. High temperatures towards the end of the week will start to warm up a bit as mid level ridging strengthens. These temperatures will rise into the lower 80s along the east coast, and into the lower 90s across

Marine
Issued at 257am EDT Sat April 27 2024

Conditions will be hazardous this weekend particularly to small craft as gusty winds develop over the local waters in the 20-30kt range. In addition, seas in the Atlantic will rise to 8-10ft by Sunday. These elevated winds and seas should begin to subside by the early to middle portion of next week.

Beaches
Issued at 257am EDT Sat April 27 2024

There is a high risk for rip currents along the Atlantic coast as gusty onshore winds will be present through the weekend. In addition, these gusty winds will assist in the formation of larger waves in the surf zone up to 7-8ft this weekend. Therefore, a high surf advisory is in effect for Broward and Palm Beach county beaches this weekend.
