256 PM EDT THU MAR 27 2014

...UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH EARLY THIS WEEKEND THEN DRIER WEATHER
LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...
...HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS EAST COAST BEACHES THROUGH FRIDAY...

.SHORT TERM...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE FURTHER EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS THROUGH FRIDAY...AS A
COLD FRONT OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO MOVES SLOWLY SOUTH INTO
THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS WILL ALLOW MOISTURE TO WORK
INTO SOUTH FLORIDA ON THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW.
SO WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS
EVENING OVER ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA...THEN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. THE POPS ON FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE SCATTERED RANGE WITH THE
BEST COVERAGE OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS.

THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING...DUE TO THE SEA BREEZES AND
LAKE BREEZE COLLISION ALONG WITH THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
COOLING DOWN TO AROUND -10 TO -12C. SO HAVE ADDED THUNDER WORDING
TO THE AREAS NORTH OF ALLIGATOR ALLEY FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO
FRIDAY EVENING.

FOG FORMATION IS ALSO POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST METRO AREAS...DUE TO THE
LIGHT WINDS AND THE MOISTURE IN PLACE. SO HAVE ADDED FOG WORDING
TO THE FORECAST FOR THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST METRO AREAS FOR
TONIGHT.

THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH INTO THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA ON SATURDAY...AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE
SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES AND MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE
AREA KEEPING THE MOISTURE IN PLACE. SO WILL CONTINUE THE
SCATTERED POPS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA ALONG WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA ON SUNDAY
MORNING ENDING THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON ALONG WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE AREA
FROM THE NORTH.

.LONG TERM...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE FLORIDA PENINSULA FROM THE
CENTRAL UNITED STATES FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP THE
WEATHER DRY AND COMFORTABLE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA FOR MOST OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WINDS TONIGHT WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHEAST AROUND 20 KNOTS OVER
THE LOCAL SOUTH FLORIDA WATERS BEFORE SWINGING TO A SOUTHERLY
DIRECTION ON FRIDAY AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. THE WINDS WILL THEN SWING
TO A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION EARLY THIS WEEKEND WITH SPEEDS AT 10 TO
15 KNOTS...BEFORE SWINGING TO NORTHERLY DIRECTION AT 15 TO 20
KNOTS SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT.

THERE WILL ALSO BE A NORTHEAST SWELL OF 2 TO 4 FEET AFFECTING
ATLANTIC WATERS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...BEFORE DECREASING TO 2 FEET
OR LESS BY THIS WEEKEND.

THE WIND SPEEDS AND NORTHEAST SWELLS WILL ALLOW FOR THE SEAS IN
THE ATLANTIC WATERS TO BUILD TO 6 TO 8 FEET TONIGHT...BEFORE
SLOWLY DECREASING TO LESS THAN 6 FEET BY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. FOR THE GULF SIDE...THE SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW 6
FEET TONIGHT INTO THIS WEEKEND. SO WILL BE PUTTING UP A SCA FOR
ALL OF THE LOCAL WATERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA FOR TONIGHT.

THE THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS WILL ALSO REMAIN HIGH OVER THE EAST
COAST BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH FRIDAY. SO THE HIGH RISK OF
RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY FOR THE EAST COAST
BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA.
