.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 229 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Upper-level ridging is overhead with the surface high off the east
coast. Given the current location, the surface pressure gradient is
quite strong. In response, winds are gusty this afternoon, and will
be for the next few days as this pattern remains quite locked in.

Warm and dry is largely going to be theme into early next week.
However, there could be a couple isolated showers late this
afternoon/evening; and while too low for inclusion over the next few
days, it can`t be completely ruled out in the days to come. These
will be few and far between, so don`t expect to see much at any one
location.

Towards the middle of next week, the pattern will finally break. As
a trough digs into the southeast, another attendant cold front is
forecast to move through the region. There will likely be showers
and thunderstorms that accompany this front, and some of these could
be strong. Additionally, there will be a period of increasing winds
out of the south and then southwest early next week. Once the front
pushes through, what is likely to be the final meaningful cool down
for the year is expected. Daytime highs will struggle to reach 80
degrees, with overnight lows in the 40s and 50s for the middle of
the week. So after some very hot days this week, the change will be
a nice reprieve, before the warmer and more humid weather settles
in to carry us through the summer months.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 229 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Conditions are largely expected to be VFR over the next 24 hours.
However, there is a low probability of a couple isolated showers
near the coast late this afternoon/evening. Really, the only airport
that has a meaningful chance of seeing any impacts is TPA.
Additionally, there is a low probability for some additional low
clouds/fog to impact the interior. This could drift into the
vicinity of KLAL for a brief window tomorrow morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 229 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

With high pressure off to the east of Florida, a breezy ESE flow
continues across coastal waters, but will try to turn onshore and
weaken some late in the day. This will lead to periods of choppier
seas, but conditions should remain below cautionary levels.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 229 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Breezy winds will continue each day, particularly in the afternoon.
This may lead to periods of high dispersions. Otherwise, RH values
remain above critical thresholds, despite overall warm and dry
conditions persisting. However, red flag concerns are low across the
region this week.
