.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 1217 PM EDT Sat Aug 3 2024

Tropical Depression Four will cross through NW Cuba and emerge
into the SE GOM this afternoon, which should result in gradual
strengthening of the system through the short term period (with
the system likely becoming Tropical Storm Debbie at some point in
the very near future). Rain bands on the northern fringe of this
system are just approaching southern portions of the area, and
these will continue to lift northwestward this afternoon into the
evening. The main threat with these bands will be gusty
convective winds (as evidence by the numerous 35-45mph observed
gusts so far), and locally heavy rainfall. Late this afternoon and
into the evening/overnight period we will begin to see 0-1km
helicity increase over primarily SW portions of the area which
will result in the threat of an isolated tornado (or waterspout
over the Gulf waters). For more details regarding potential
impacts to South Florida please refer to the latest Hurricane
Local Statement.

The system will slowly push to the north of the area during the
day on Sunday although the moisture tail along the southeastern
flank of the system will still result in scattered to numerous
tropical showers over portions of the area. At present it looks
like the best rain chances will be over the western half of the
area, with somewhat drier conditions over the east coast.
Unfortunately, the seemingly constant threat of heat advisory
conditions for MD/Broward counties will return, particularly if
the drier solution verifies.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 225 PM EDT Sat Aug 3 2024

Early Monday, the threat of tropical impacts will decrease,
though coastal areas of Collier County may still experience
occasional wind gusts near tropical storm force. This is partially
dependent on the translational speed of the future tropical
system Debby. A potential slow-down could maintain a strong
onshore flow.

Monday to Wednesday: The forecast for early next week will be
heavily influenced by the tropical system to our north. There
remains significant model and ensemble disparity regarding the
progression of future Debby as it moves across Florida into the
Atlantic. Recent trends suggest Debby may become trapped between
two competing high-pressure systems, inhibiting its forward speed.
Consequently, deep-layer tropical moisture is expected to persist
over much of South Florida, with numerous showers and
thunderstorms likely. Locally heavy rainfall could lead to
flooding, especially in areas already impacted by rain over the
weekend from peripheral rainbands. Probability of Precipitation
(POPs) will be maintained in the 50-70% range, highest over the
western half of the County Warning Area (CWA).

Wednesday Night to Friday Night: Long-range solutions show a fair
consensus in establishing ridging aloft, which will help suppress
deep convection. Any isolated stronger storms will primarily
result from diurnal heating and outflow boundary interactions.

With a progressive southerly flow advecting a warm air mass into
the region and additional mid-level ridging building in the late
long-term period, high temperatures should remain in the low 90s
despite increased cloud cover and elevated rainfall probabilities.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1217 PM EDT Sat Aug 3 2024

Bands of SHRA/TSRA will rotate across the region today with gusty
SErly winds at times. VFR cigs and conditions will prevail at area
terminals outside of convection with the potential of MVFR and sub-
MVFR cigs in and around SHRA/TSRA convection. Stronger gusts could
be realized as convective bands move directly over terminals. Low
uncertainty as far as timing for convective bands thus short
fused amendments and TEMPOs may be needed if radar trends depict
terminal impacts.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1217 PM EDT Sat Aug 3 2024

Hazardous conditions will continue over all waters today and into
Sunday as Tropical Depression Four moves into the southeastern
Gulf of Mexico. The strongest winds will likely be in the Gulf
waters where tropical storm conditions will be possible, while
high-end (i.e. gusts 30-35kts and seas 7-10 ft) small craft
advisory conditions can be expected across the Atlantic waters.
Additionally stronger gusts can be expected in any
thunderstorms/bands.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 1217 PM EDT Sat Aug 3 2024

As winds increase out of the south southeast, a high risk of rip
currents will remain in place across the Atlantic Coast beaches
throughout the weekend. As winds shift and become more south
southwest as Tropical Depression Four pushes off to the north, this
will result in a high risk of rip currents over the Gulf Coast
beaches for the second half of the weekend into early next week.
Additionally, minor to moderate coastal flooding may occur along
the Gulf Coast during Sunday's high tide.
