.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Wednesday)
Issued at 147 PM EDT Tue Oct 8 2024

Now through Midnight:

850mb Mesoanalysis indicates the continued progression of a
convergent band northwards across South Florida indicative of
southwesterly flow to the south of the boundary and northeasterly
flow on the north side of the boundary. A noticeable CAPE gradient
remains across the region as well with the highest instability
located to the south of the region over Florida Bay and along the
immediate east coast of South Florida. Cannot rule out a few pockets
of heavy rainfall this afternoon as PWATs remain near the daily
max with the greatest potential across areas with sufficient
CAPE. A lull in the rainfall is expected in the evening and early
overnight hours as the convergent boundary gradually lifts to the
north of the region. Rain and ample cloud cover will keep highs in
the low to middle 80s.

Wednesday - Hurricane Milton Hazards:

Storm Surge: There is an increasing risk of dangerous storm surge
for portions of the Southwest Florida coast. Storm surge warnings
are in effect for coastal Collier and Mainland Monroe County. The
surge will range from 4 to 7 feet over coastal Collier County and 3
to 5 feet over Mainland Monroe County. The peak of the storm surge
will most likely be Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning.

Winds: Winds will increase across South Florida on Wednesday and
these winds will peak on Wednesday night into Thursday as Hurricane
Milton makes its closest pass the region. The highest probabilities
of tropical storm force winds will be along the Gulf Coast of
Southwest Florida. Tropical storm force winds will also be possible
across the rest of South Florida especially in gusts.

Flooding: Milton's outer rainbands will begin to reach Southwest
Florida early Wednesday morning and will begin to spiral across
the area through early Thursday. Heavy downpours will be likely
within rainbands with additional rainfall totals of 1-3" with
localized totals up to 4" possible through Thursday.

Tornadoes: As Milton progresses eastward towards South Florida,
the first outer bands will reach the Southwest Florida coast
beginning early on Wednesday. A few isolated tornadoes will be
possible within these rainbands as they spiral across the area
from west to east through early Thursday morning.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 147 PM EDT Tue Oct 8 2024

Impacts listed above for Milton will continue to impact the region
and gradually abate during the day on Thursday.

Lingering, albeit much lower rain chances are expected through
the remainder of the period, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
This forecaster certainly holds high hopes for a stretch of dry
days after this prolonged period of wet weather in South Florida.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 137 AM EDT Wed Oct 9 2024

Generally VFR expected overnight, although there will be isolated
showers and storms near KAPF. Winds will remain on the lighter
side until later on this morning when winds begin to pick up with
the arrival of Milton's circulation. Rounds of SHRA/TSRA from
outer bands associated with Milton will push through the area
during the period, particularly for KAPF. For now, have put in
VCTS for APF and VCSH for the east coast, but this could be
upgraded to TSRA in later updates as timing confidence increases.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 147 PM EDT Tue Oct 8 2024

Tropical storm conditions will become possible across our Gulf
waters on Wednesday and our Atlantic waters Wednesday night into
Thursday. While seas will subside through Thursday night along the
Gulf, seas will build quite significantly across the east coast as
swell on the back side of Milton opposes the Gulf Stream. Expect
these seas to peak on Friday and mostly subside by the end of the
weekend.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 147 PM EDT Tue Oct 8 2024

With the slowing of Milton, the high risk for rip currents along
the east and west coasts will likely hold off until Wednesday.
While the risk will subside for the Gulf on Thursday night, it
will persist through the weekend along the east coast due to the
aforementioned swell.

Additionally, there is a potential for dangerous and damaging surf
conditions late this week into the weekend. This is most likely
across the Palm Beaches, but could spread to Broward county
beaches as well.
