| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 728am EDT Fri April 24 2026 .SHORT TERM... (Today through Saturday) Issued at 403am EDT Fri April 24 2026 Forecast scenario remains fairly persistent with the mid level ridge being gradually eroded by moisture intrusion aloft. The main driver of this surge in moisture continues to be an upper level shortwave moving over the region, while a deep trough/low complex treks over the E CONUS. This system will send an associated frontal boundary into the SE CONUS by Saturday. Meanwhile, weak ridging over the western Atlantic will flatten a little and push closer to SoFlo through Saturday, resulting in periods of generally light winds or even calm conditions at times each day. The 00Z MFL sounding shows a rather quickly moistening of the air mass, with a moist profile up to 9km, and PWATs (Precipitable Waters) surging to around 1.3". NBM continues to respond by slightly increasing max POPs into the 30-40% range by Saturday, with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms each afternoon. Estimated Quantitative Precipitation Forecast values still remain around half an inch, with most showers remaining light to moderate. But an isolated heavy downpour can not be ruled out. The surging moisture will also help in keeping low-mid level cloud decks in place today. Temperatures will begin to gradually increase with afternoon highs in the low-mid 80s over east coast and interior areas, and into the mid-upper 80s for Gulf coast areas. Long Term (Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 403am EDT Fri April 24 2026 Ensembles and global solutions show an upper level shortwave moving across the area to start the long term, while a weak frontal boundary moves across the SE CONUS during the weekend. Expect some gradual increase in mid level moisture and instability, with POPs now increasing into the 25-35% range through Sunday. Meanwhile, ridging over the west Atlantic will remain dominant across SoFlo, with winds relaxing over SoFlo during the weekend. Periods of light or even calm winds are possible, especially on Sunday. The presence of the front over the northern portions of the peninsula will help in shifting winds across SoFlo to a more southerly flow, which combined with daytime heating will favor scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over interior and northern portions of the CWA. For next week, conditions should dry again rather quickly during the first half of the work week as high pressure and drier air establish in the wake of the front. A warming trend will begin during the weekend with afternoon highs in the mid-upper 80s across much of SoFlo. Then by Tuesday, afternoon highs should be hitting the upper 80s to low 90s. Marine Issued at 409am EDT Fri April 24 2026 Boating conditions should remain generally benign with a light to moderate east-southeast flow prevailing across the local waters today and through the weekend. Possible isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms may develop, especially during the afternoon hours, as an upper level disturbance moves across the area. Beaches Issued at 409am EDT Fri April 24 2026 A high risk of rip currents remains in place for all Atlantic beaches through this morning, then continuing over Palm Beach county through this evening. NOAA Miami FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...High Rip Current Risk through this evening for FLZ168. High Rip Current Risk until 8am EDT this morning for FLZ172-173. AM...None. GM...None. |
