Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 656am EDT Sat April 26 2025 Long Term (Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 334am EDT Sat April 26 2025 Not much has changed for the long range forecast scenario, except for some timing adjustments of the possible showers in the late Monday-Tuesday timeframe. Latest ensembles and long range global models show a large high pressure system establishing across the SE CONUS, with a 1028 mb center gradually migrating SE towards the Carolinas coastal waters through the early part of the week. Meanwhile, model MSLP analyses depict a decaying surface frontal boundary pushing the ridge closer to our area Monday and Tuesday, with much of the Florida peninsula remaining in the southern/southwestern periphery of the high. This will keep generally E/ENE winds in place to start the work week. Pressure gradients relax a bit as the high expands into the western Atlantic, resulting in periods of light flow on Monday. Latest model runs further weaken what is left of the aforementioned boundary, with the mid level ridge over the area remaining in place. Therefore, the anticipated increase in moisture on Monday afternoon looks less likely, with POPs/Wx coverage now down into the 10-20 percent range, and mainly for the interior areas around the Lake region. However, a shortwave trough feature aloft will move through the region late Monday into Tuesday, bringing a modest increase in moisture advection. This may be enough to energize a few showers Tuesday afternoon, especially along sea breeze boundaries, with best chances over the western half of SoFlo. NBM and global solutions bring drier air for the remainder of the work week, with a return to prevailing dry conditions by Wednesday. With high pressure firmly centered to the ENE of SoFlo, expect the stronger easterly flow and overall subsidence to continue, with mainly single digit POPs each day. Afternoon high temperatures will generally remain in the low-mid 80s across eastern areas, and into the low 90s across interior and west coast areas. Marine Issued at 107am EDT Sat April 26 2025 Gentle to moderate easterly winds are expected this weekend across the Atlantic waters, with a light to gentle westerly breeze developing each afternoon across the Gulf waters. Seas generally 1-2 ft in the Atlantic and a foot or less in the Gulf. Beaches Issued at 107am EDT Sat April 26 2025 A high risk of rip currents will continue today for the Atlantic beaches. The risk lessens on Sunday as easterly flow weakens, however an elevated risk will remain across the Palm Beaches. NOAA Miami FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...High Rip Current Risk through this evening for FLZ168-172-173. AM...None. GM...None. |
