...New Long Term

.SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Saturday) Issued at 1133am EDT Fri Nov 1 2024

With strong mid-level ridging and surface high, this will keep the generally benign weather pattern across South Florida today and Saturday. With the strong body of high pressure, the pressure gradient has enabled the breezy east/northeasterly winds to continue. Though slightly weaker, the daily winds will still reach sustained 10-15KT with gusts up to 25KT. Mid-level dry air continues to filter into the region, prohibiting the development of substantial convection and thunderstorms. With the breezy wind flow, some low level moisture will be able to advect into South Florida, which will allow for isolated to scattered showers to develop along the breeze. This will continue to occur over the Atlantic waters and across the eastern half of South Florida this afternoon. With upcoming PWATs (Precipitable Waters) forecast to reach 1.3-1.5", there will be a slight increase in Probability of Precipitation tomorrow, with 30-40%, and a better chance for isolated to scattered showers/drizzle over the entire region. However, the latest WPC Quantitative Precipitation Forecast forecast and model guidance is keeping the best chance for light to moderate rain showers around, and to the north, of Lake Okeechobee late tomorrow morning into the afternoon.

Temperatures will be just above normal and continue on a slow warming trend. Afternoon highs are forecast to reach the mid to upper 80s, with overnight lows dropping into the low to mid-70s.

Long Term
(Saturday night through next Thursday) Issued at 246pm EDT Fri Nov 1 2024

The weather pattern remains relatively unchanged through the long term forecast period as persistent mid-level ridging remains in place across South Florida. A somewhat enhanced pressure gradient force will prevail due to a strong area of high pressure to the north and a broad low developing across the northwest Caribbean Sea early next week. This low will aid in strengthening the pressure gradient further as it progresses northwards, and thus increasingly gusty winds are possible towards the middle of next week. While plenty of mid-level dry air remains intact, there exists enough shallow moisture to support isolated to scattered shower activity over the Atlantic waters as well as east coast portions of South Florida through this same period. The generally unfavorable synoptic-scale pattern and mid-level dry air mass will suppress any thunderstorm chances and overall depth of any convection that may develop through this period.

Afternoon maximum temperatures will range from the low to mid 80s across the east coast, and mid to upper 80s along interior and southwest portions of the region.

Marine
Issued at 1133am EDT Fri Nov 1 2024

Hazardous marine conditions persist across the Atlantic waters, with cautionary conditions across the Gulf waters, as east- northeast winds of 20 to 25 kts continue. Seas across the Atlantic waters will range from 5 to 8 feet, while seas across the Gulf waters range from 2 to 4 feet. Conditions will slightly improve moving into the upcoming weekend, but will generally remain cautionary over the Gulf waters, and hazardous over the Atlantic waters, as the fresh east-northeast winds continue.

Beaches
Issued at 1133am EDT Fri Nov 1 2024

A high risk of rip currents is in place for all Atlantic Coast beaches through the weekend due to strong onshore winds.
