Area Forecast Discussion

806 PM EDT Mon Mar 20 2017

.UPDATE...
Another quiet evening across the forecast area with the sea
breezes beginning to wind down. Skies will remain mainly clear
overnight and with winds becoming light and variable there could
be some patchy ground fog in the typical fog prone low lying areas
and near lakes and streams. For Tuesday we'll see another pleasant
day with the light winds becoming southwest to west in the
afternoon as the surface ridge shifts south to across south
Florida and the west coast sea breeze develops. Temperatures will
continue to be near to a few degrees below normal. Overall the
current grids/zone forecast look on track with no evening updated
planned.

&&

.AVIATION...
Patchy ground fog will be possible over inland areas tonight and
could cause some brief MVFR visibilities at LAL, PGD, FMY, and
RSW. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected through Tuesday. Wind
will become light and variable tonight then become southwest to
west around midday and increase to 7 to 11 knots during the
afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will generally remain less than 15 knots and seas 3 feet or
less through midweek as high pressure remains across the waters.
Late in the week a cold front moves across the waters with high
pressure behind it setting up an increased northeast to east flow
for late in the week. Present marine forecast looks ok with no
major changes planned for late evening forecast.
