SHORT AND Long Term (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 250pm CDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024

Per the latest forecast track from the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Milton will be over the central Florida peninsula early Thursday evening before continuing well off into the western Atlantic and weakening through Sunday morning. A dry deep layer northeasterly flow prevails over the forecast area through much of Saturday, then a light southerly flow develops Saturday night and becomes southwesterly on Sunday as a cold front approaches from the north. The cold front is anticipated to move through the area late Sunday night into Monday morning, with a cool northerly flow following into Tuesday. Deep layer moisture remains too limited to consider pops, and have continued with a dry forecast through Tuesday. A High Risk of rip currents remains in effect until Thursday evening, potentially overnight as well, then a moderate risk of rip currents is anticipated for Friday with a low risk for Saturday. A High Surf Advisory is in effect from 10 pm Wednesday until 7 pm Thursday for surf heigheights of 4 to 6 feet. Current indications are that the surf heigheights will be subsiding sufficiently to end the High Surf Advisory earlier in the day on Thursday, but will leave to the next shift to reassess. Highs on Thursday will be in the lower to mid 80s, then highs on Friday range from the upper 70s to the mid 80s. A slight warming trend follows into Sunday by which time highs will be in the lower to mid 80s. Similar highs are expected on Monday, then Tuesday will be cooler with highs ranging from the lower 70s well inland to the mid/upper 70s near the coast. Lows Thursday night range from the lower 50s well inland to the lower 60s at the coast, then lows Friday night and Saturday night will be a bit cooler before somewhat milder temperatures occur Sunday night when lows range from the mid 50s inland to the mid 60s at the coast. Lows Monday night range from around 50 well inland to around 60 at the coast. /29

Issued at 250pm CDT Tuesday Oct 8 2024

Based on the latest data, have made adjustments to the Small Craft Advisory for our open Gulf waters. The 20-60 nm portion will still begin at 10 pm this evening, but the ending time has been extended until 1 am Friday to allow sufficient time for winds and seas to subside. As the northeasterly flow will take a bit more time to pick up over the near shore waters, have changed the start time for the 0-20 nm portion until 4 am Wednesday morning though left the ending time of 1 pm Thursday as is. /29
