...New LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 1238 PM EST Sat Jan 6 2024

Unsettled weather conditions will be likely this afternoon as a line
of storms moves across our area ahead of the passage of a cold
front. As of noon-time today, this line was just starting to enter
South Florida, with leading stratiform rain and ample cloud coverage
helping limit instability over land. A few storms over the waters
have benefited from stronger instability resulting in frequent
lightning, strong winds and at least one waterspout reported by
aircraft pilots.

As the line continues to move over our area this afternoon,
environmental parameters will be favorable enough for a few strong
to marginally severe thunderstorms to develop across portions of the
southwest coast and interior South Florida, namely portions of
Glades, Hendry, Collier and inland Palm Beach counties. With a
paucity of instability but ample shear in place, the main concerns
remain strong, damaging winds and a few tornadoes. Chances for
severe impacts decrease further south and east over our area,
where scattered showers and a few garden-variety thunderstorms
could be possible through the evening hours. Gusty southerly winds
will prevail during this time, with gusts up to 25 kts possible.

The aforementioned front is anticipated to drop through our area
overnight into tomorrow morning, with enough lingering moisture to
support isolated showers developing across southernmost portions of
the peninsula and the local waters. Winds will veer from the
north-northwest once the front pushes through.

Temperatures overnight will remain in the 60s across much of South
Florida, and could rise to the low-mid 70s tomorrow as cooler air
advects over the area.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 130 PM EST Sat Jan 6 2024

We'll start the week off dry with high pressure over the Mid-
Atlantic in control. On Tuesday a system in the middle part of the
country will race towards the Great Lakes by early Wednesday. A cold
front associated with this system will cross the area overnight into
early Wednesday morning. There will be a severe threat to our north
during the day on Tuesday where the dynamics will be better, however
they become less impressive by Tuesday evening and night across
South FL when the precip arrives on our doorstep. A few stronger
storms may be possible across the lake region, but the threat looks
fairly minimum at this point in time.

Dry weather then returns for the middle to end of the work week as
high pressure builds into the region. Another front may bring
showers and isolated thunderstorms to the region next weekend, but
there is still plenty of uncertainty on timing and strength this far
out.

Temperatures will oscillate between slightly below normal and
slightly above normal this week, with the warmest days being Tuesday
and Friday ahead of approaching frontal boundaries. Highs those days
will be in the lower 80s. Otherwise, the rest of the week will see
high temps in the 70s. The only chilly night of the week looks to be
Wednesday night with lows in the upper 40s to upper 50s. Otherwise,
generally looking at seasonal lows in the 50s/60s this week.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1238 PM EST Sat Jan 6 2024

Periods of sub-VFR conditions remain likely this afternoon as a
line of SHRA/TSRA moves through the area. For now, have TEMPOs
for lowered cigs, but additional short fuse TEMPOs could be needed
through the evening. Gusty S to SW winds will persist through the
night, becoming more westerly-northwesterly overnight into
tomorrow once a cold front push through. Another period of
lowered VIS/CIGs will be possible tomorrow morning as the front
drops through.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1238 PM EST Sat Jan 6 2024

Modest southerly flow continues today ahead of an advancing frontal
system. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible
across local waters in association with an approaching cold front.
Hazards for mariners include strong to damaging wind gusts,
lightning and the potential for waterspouts. Winds will increase and
turn northerly behind the frontal system, causing elevated wave
heights up to around 9 feet. These dangerous conditions may persist
into the early part of the upcoming week, with moderate to breezy
northerly winds remaining intact.

.BEACHES...
Issued at 1238 PM EST Sat Jan 6 2024

A high risk of rip currents will persist along all East Coast
beaches this weekend as onshore flow continues. As winds strengthen
and shift to the southwest, the risk for rip currents along the Gulf

...Strong to severe storms possible today...
...Hazardous Beach and Marine Conditions for Atlantic Waters...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for Atlantic coastal waters,
southeast Florida, southern Florida, southwest Florida and Gulf of
Mexico.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Thunderstorms: A few strong to severe thunderstorms may develop
today, particularly this afternoon. The greatest chances for severe
thunderstorms generally exist across southwest and interior portions
of South Florida, though this may extend to the east coast as well.
Strong to damaging wind gusts could be possible with the strongest
storms.

Tornadoes: There's a very conditional chance that tornadoes could
form with some of the strongest storms, mainly over the southwest
Coast.

Rip Currents: A high risk for rip currents will continue across the
Atlantic beaches.

Marine: Hazardous marine conditions will continue across the
Atlantic waters, as southerly winds range from 20 to 25 kt at times
today. This may allow for wave heights to rise as high as 7 ft.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Hazardous and even dangerous marine conditions may be present
through early portions of this upcoming week in association with
breezy easterly and southerly winds that are projected to
materialize.

Another round of showers and thunderstorms may develop ahead of a
frontal system that is projected to approach the southern peninsula
by Tuesday/Wednesday, and severe weather cannot be ruled out at this
time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed.
