.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Thursday)
Issued at 1226 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Mid level ridging over the region combined with a rather large
surface area of high pressure centered in the western Atlantic will
be the two main features influencing the weather pattern across
South Florida through Thursday. With plenty of subsidence taking
place, drier air will continue to filer into the region especially
across the mid to upper levels. The PWAT values from this mornings
12Z KMFL sounding came in at 1.24 inches with most of the available
moisture at the lower levels of the atmospheric column. As high
pressure continues to build into the region, the pressure gradient
will rapidly tighten over South Florida which will lead to a gusty
southeasterly wind flow through the rest of today and into Thursday.
Wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph will be possible especially heading into
Thursday over the eastern half of South Florida. These gusty winds
will also continue to promote some lower level moisture advection
during this time frame. While most areas will remain dry, there will
be just enough of this lower level moisture to support the
possibility of a brief fast moving shower or two mainly over the
Atlantic waters as well as the east coast metro areas. With the
abundance of dry air in the mid to upper levels, any shower that
does develop will be low topped and short lived. High temperatures
will remain on the warm side today and Thursday as they will rise
into the mid 80s across the east coast metro areas and into the
lower 90s across the interior portions of Southwest Florida.

(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 220 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

To wrap up the week and moving into the weekend, expansive mid-level
ridging and a sturdy surface high pressure will continue to
strengthen and preside over the southeastern CONUS. With model
guidance, the dry and warm weather conditions should prevail
through, at least, Sunday. Afternoon highs will continue to trend
just above normal with temperatures mid-to-upper 80s near the coast,
and low 90s across southwestern Florida. With the moist atmosphere,
the heat indices will be in the 90s and conditions will feel much
warmer. Use caution when spending time outside and stay hydrated.
Summer temperatures are quickly approaching!

Looking into the long term forecast for next week, a mid-level low
and deep trough will drop into the Great Lakes region bringing a
frontal boundary and change in weather across the CONUS. As the cold
front approaches, the high pressure will begin to move into the
western Atlantic and allow for our next opportunity for wet weather
and cooler temperatures.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1226 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Mainly VFR conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period.
Southeasterly wind flow will continue to range between 15 and 20
kts this afternoon into this evening with gusts of 25 to 28 kts
possible across the east coast terminals. This gusty southeasterly
wind flow will persist into Thursday.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1226 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

A moderate to fresh southeasterly breeze will develop across the
Gulf waters as the afternoon progresses and a fresh to occasionally
strong breeze will develop over the Atlantic waters heading into the
evening hours. This strengthening southeasterly wind flow along with
building seas will create hazardous marine conditions over the
Atlantic waters beginning this evening and lasting through early
Friday morning. Seas across the Atlantic waters will range from 3 to
6 feet tonight into Thursday while seas across the Gulf waters will
range between 2 to 4 feet during this time frame.

.BEACHES...
Issued at 1226 PM EDT Wed Apr 2 2025

With strong onshore flow persisting, this will result in a high risk
of rip currents for the Atlantic Coast beaches through the rest
of the week and into the upcoming weekend.
