| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 1212am EST Wednesday Mar 4 2026 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Thursday) Issued at 1129pm EST Tuesday Mar 3 2026 Above average moisture remains across the region from an old frontal boundary, as high pressure has become established over the eastern CONUS. This will lead to a continuation of the east-northeasterly flow across the area. Quick moving coastal showers will be possible through the next couple of days. Partly sunny conditions should prevail overall, with brief periods of rainfall. Highest rain chances will remain along the immediate east coast, however a few showers may reach Southwest Florida as well. With lack of significant synoptic forcing, thunderstorm activity should remain minimal however a few isolated thunderstorms cannot be completely ruled out, especially over the warm gulfstream waters. High temperatures will reach the low to mid 80s today and tomorrow with overnight lows in the 60s. Long Term (Thursday night through next Tuesday) Issued at 1129pm EST Tuesday Mar 3 2026 The pattern through the long term period remains largely unchanged each day. Breezy east-northeast flow continues through the majority of the week as the surface pressure gradient remains tight. There will be a chance (20-30%) for showers each day through the period as slightly above average moisture remains (PWATs (Precipitable Waters) 1.2-1.4 inches) with highest chances across local Atlantic waters and along the immediate east coast. Surface flow veers more easterly towards the end of the week and into the weekend as surface high pressure across the western Atlantic builds westward. High temperatures should remain in the low 80s for east coast metro areas, however due to the easterly flow, a warming trend is expected for interior and Southwest Florida and highs could approach the upper 80s to low 90s by the middle of the work-week. Marine Issued at 1129pm EST Tuesday Mar 3 2026 Expect a scattering of showers and isolated thunderstorms each day and night over local waters. High pressure across the Southeast will lead to a strong easterly regime through most of this week. Fresh easterly winds between 17-20 knots could be expected throughout the week. Beaches Issued at 1129pm EST Tuesday Mar 3 2026 Strong east-northeast flow will lead to a high risk of rip currents for all Southeast Florida beaches for the majority of this week. NOAA Miami FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...High Rip Current Risk through Friday evening for FLZ168-172-173. AM...None. GM...None. |
