.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT- THIS WEEKEND...DRY AND COOL WEATHER WILL PREVAIL INTO
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OUT OF THE
CENTRAL US INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.

ALOFT, THE EASTERN HALF OF THE US WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
A DEEP TROUGH WITH SEVERAL WEAK SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND ITS BASE.
AVAILABLE MOISTURE WITH THESE FEATURES LOOKS TOO DRY TO SUPPORT MUCH
IN THE WAY OF SHOWERS. HOWEVER, LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BEGIN TO VEER
NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY THE ASSOCIATED TROUGH PASSAGE
MAY BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE OUT A FEW ATLANTIC SHOWERS.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY LOOK TO BE THE COOLEST TWO DAYS AS LOW LEVEL
WINDS REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST, WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 60S/AROUND 70 BOTH DAYS. TEMPERATURES MODERATE INTO SUNDAY
AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES FURTHER EAST AND WINDS VEER TO THE EAST-
NORTHEAST, ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE LOW-MID 70S.

LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID-UPPER 40S OVER THE
INTERIOR AND GULF COAST AND AROUND 50 ALONG THE EAST COAST. FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING LOOKS TO BE THE COLDEST WITH LOWS RANGING
FROM THE LOW 40S ACROSS GLADES/HENDRY, THE GULF COAST AND
REMAINDER OF THE INTERIOR, AND UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50 FOR MOST OF THE
EAST COAST METRO. PALM BEACH COUNTY WILL BE THE EXCEPTION WHERE
LOW TEMPS WILL DROP INTO THE MID 40S, EVEN ALONG THE COAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM NOTICEABLY FOR MOST LOCATIONS SAT NIGHT
WITH THE WIND SHIFT, WITH LOWS FROM THE MID 40S ACROSS GLADES,
UPPER 40S/AROUND 50 FOR THE INTERIOR, AND MID- UPPER 50S FOR THE
EAST COAST. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH TO 5 MPH OR LESS
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT SO SIGNIFICANT WIND CHILL DIFFERENCES ARE
NOT A CONCERN AT THIS TIME.

NEXT WEEK...SURFACE HIGH MOVING EAST FROM NORTH FLORIDA INTO THE
ATLANTIC WILL REMAIN THE MAIN INFLUENCE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WEATHER
FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. DEEPENING EAST-SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL ADVECT
ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION FOR A FEW ATLANTIC SHOWERS
AT TIMES MON AND TUES THAT MAY BRUSH THE EAST COAST. MODELS SHOW THE
DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MID-WEEK THAT COULD PUSH A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO NEXT WEEK TO AROUND NORMAL WITH UPPER
70S/AROUND 80 MOST AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID-UPPER 50S
EXCEPT FOR THE EAST COAST WHICH WILL REMAIN IN THE MID-UPPER 60S DUE
TO THE EASTERLY FLOW.

&&

.MARINE...GUSTY POST-FRONTAL NW WINDS AROUND 20KTS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH OVER THE GULF WATERS LATE TONIGHT, BUT WILL LINGER OVER THE
ATLANTIC INTO FRIDAY MORNING. HAZARDOUS SEAS WILL LINGER AROUND 6-
8FT IN THE OFFSHORE GULF AND GULF STREAM THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. THE
ONGOING ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING FOR
THE OFFSHORE GULF, AND TOMORROW MORNING FOR THE ATLANTIC.

FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, WINDS VEER TO THE NORTH ON SATURDAY,
NORTHEAST SUNDAY MORNING, AND EAST BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH OVERALL
SPEEDS 10-15KTS AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OUT OF THE GULF AND OVER
NORTH FLORIDA. SEAS AROUND 2-4FT FOR BOTH GULF AND ATLANTIC.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRY NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING SEVERAL DAYS WITH RH
VALUES EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS EACH AFTERNOON ACROSS
MOST OF S FLORIDA THROUGH SAT. GUSTY NW WINDS TODAY WILL DIMINISH ON
FRI AND SAT WITH LOW LEVEL WINDS GENERALLY AROUND 10 MPH. DUE TO
RECENT WETTING RAINS HOWEVER, FUELS REMAIN MOIST WITH ERC VALUES
REMAINING BELOW CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.

WINDS VEERING EAST-NORTHEAST INTO SUNDAY WILL MITIGATE RH CONCERNS
INTO NEXT WEEK.
