.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Thursday)
Issued at 204 PM EST Wed Mar 6 2024

A mid level trough will be moving east through Florida this afternoon
into tonight as a short wave moves from northeast from southeast
Gulf of Mexico across South Florida this afternoon. At the same
time, a low level boundary will slowly shift southward from the
Lake Okeechobee into the southern areas of South Florida. This
will allow for a southwest wind flow to remain over South Florida
through tonight keeping the deeper moisture in place along with
the colder air aloft. Therefore, scattered to numerous POPs will
continue over South Florida through this evening with the highest
POPs over the eastern areas.

The weather should then dry out for the evening hours as the short
wave moves east of the area. However, late tonight into early
Thursday morning there could be again another round of showers and
thunderstorms over the eastern areas of South Florida due to
outflow boundary coming up from Cuba. Therefore, will keep a
chance of POPs in the for the east coast areas for late tonight.

A few of the storms this afternoon could still be strong to even
severe due to the cold air aloft. Also, cannot rule out an
isolated strong storm late tonight over the eastern areas due to
the cold air aloft remaining in place. The primary impacts from
the strong storms will be hail, gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and
lightning strikes. There could even be an isolated tornado this
afternoon especially over the eastern areas where the west and
east coast sea breezes collide.

Fog could also develop over the interior and west coast metro
areas late tonight due to the low level moisture in place along
with the light southwest flow. Therefore, Patchy fog wording has
been added for these areas for late tonight into early Tuesday
morning.

Lows tonight will be in the mid to upper 60s over most areas,
except around 70 over the metro areas.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 204 PM EST Wed Mar 6 2024

Broad and expansive H500 ridging will continue to build over the
Gulf of Mexico and into the southern peninsula. This rise in
geopotential heights aloft will be commensurate with predominately
ESE/SE winds towards the end of the week and through the weekend.
The subsidence aloft combined with warm air advection within the
boundary layer will result in very warm temperatures this weekend,
possibly to the tune of record high temperatures for some locations.
Afternoon maximum temperatures in the mid to upper 80s are not out
of the question for Sunday. Will have to monitor a loosely organized
frontal boundary that becomes less defined as it drifts southward by
the end of the weekend into early next week. Mostly dry and muggy
through this period, however a round of showers and possibly
isolated thunderstorms is not out of the question for Sunday.

Monday will feature dry and mild weather, with much cooler
temperatures expected to start off the work week in the wake of a
frontal passage. Winds out of the northwest to northeast will result
in afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70s, with cooler overnight
temperatures down into the 60s and even 50s over portions of the
interior. Winds will quickly veer out of the east by Tuesday, and
become east/southeast by the middle of the week. This will allow for
a moderation in temperatures such that a gradual warming and
moistening trend takes place, although dry conditions are still
expected to prevail through this period.
