Through Tonight
Seas are slow to subside offshore this morning, remaining around 7 FT 20 nm E of Port Canaveral. Though winds have lessened a bit, we did decide to extend the Small Craft Advisory for offshore waters until 4pm ET. Otherwise, nearshore operators should exercise caution for 4-6 FT seas through the afternoon. Tonight, ESE winds hold around 10-15 KT with general seas 3-5 FT, locally 6 FT well offshore. At least a moderate wind chop on inland waterways today.

Monday - Wednesday
(previous disc.) A relaxing pressure gradient as the surface high pressure drifts seaward will allow for improving boating conditions through mid week. Seas of 4-5 ft on Monday will subside to 3-4 ft late Tuesday as east to southeast winds up to 15 knots drop to 10-15 knots through mid week. Isolated showers over the Atlantic waters will be possible each day, but lightning is not forecast.

Fire Weather
Issued at 243am EDT Sunday April 28 2024

Today...The pressure gradient remains tight across ECFL, again. ERLY wind speeds 15-20 mph with gusts to 25-30 mph, especially later this morning and afternoon. Winds do diminish this evening, gradually, 5-10 mph interior and 10-15 mph coast (with higher gusts here). Min afternoon RH's 40-45pct well into interior and 45- 55pct towards the coast. Dispersions remain VG-EX! Few sprinkles, brief light showers around again this morning, early afternoon, but any already very isolated trend should be diminishing further into the afternoon as drier air moves into the area.

This Week...While breezy conditions early in the week begin to subside, fire sensitive conditions will continue as a warming trend commences. Minimum RH values will drop below 40% across the interior each afternoon, most prominently across Lake and western Osceola counties. Light passing showers will be possible on Monday, but otherwise rain remains out of the forecast this week.

.PREVIOUS (Monday-Saturday) Issued at 243am EDT Sunday April 28 2024

This Week...A stagnant pattern will remain in place over the next 7 days, with very little day to day change. An upper level ridge remains anchored over the eastern CONUS, with the surface high pressure offshore from the Carolinas drifting only slightly seaward by mid week. The pressure gradient will begin to relax on Monday, but still, deep east to southeasterly flow will hold steady towards next weekend. Will continue to carry a slight chance for showers over the Atlantic waters each day as trapped moisture wraps around the periphery of the high. On Monday, mentionable rain chances will be present along the entire east central FL coastline, retreating just to the Treasure Coast on Tuesday. No thunder is forecast, and any showers should be very brief and quick moving. Temperatures will climb a few degrees each day, with the low 80s at the coast and mid/upper 80s inland on Monday approaching 90 degrees by Wed/Thu (still cooler at the coast with the oceanic influence). Lows persist at seasonable values in the mid 60s.
