...New LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Thursday)
Issued at 202 PM EDT Wed Mar 26 2025

A frontal boundary is seen on sfc analyses stretching across
northern Florida, while drier air gradually filters at the low-mid
levels today. Model soundings depict PWATs dropping back to below 1
inch throughout the day, while the frontal boundary slowly migrates
southward across the length of the peninsula. Behind the front,
drier air will descend upon the area as broad high pressure across
the SE CONUS moves in. Increasing subsidence will help in reducing
cloud cover, with skies becoming mostly clear by mid morning, and
negligible chances of showers. Only the southern-most portions of
Miami-Dade are carrying any coverage for this afternoon, in the 10-
20 percent chance range.

Winds shift more northerly today, but remaining light to moderate.
This will allow for afternoon sea breezes to develop, especially
along the Atlantic coast of SoFlo. By Thursday, pressure gradients
will tighten a little and bring a more robust NE flow across SoFlo,
with periods of breezy/gusty winds in the afternoon along Atlantic
coastal locations and metro areas. Strong subsidence and dry air
will keep POPs near zero through Thursday afternoon.

Despite the FROPA, the air mass won't modify significantly in terms
of temperatures, at least per latest CAMM/EURO/GFS ensembles.
Afternoon highs today should reach the low-mid 80s across much of
the eastern half of SoFlo today, and even some upper 80s around the
Gulf coast. Thursday may see a light cooling effect from the
stronger northerly winds, but probably just a few degrees cooler.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 402 PM EDT Wed Mar 26 2025

High pressure over the eastern United States late week will give
way to an approaching southern stream area of disturbed weather
that will move from Texas late Thursday/early Friday northeastward
across the country until it comes into phase with a low moving
across the midwestern United States late in the weekend. Drier air
on Friday will moderate as the easterly flow picks up with the
tightening gradient as the trough advances eastward across the
Gulf. Rain chances start increasing on Saturday with a peak for
shower and thunderstorm activity with the passage of the mid-level
trough and associated surface boundary Sunday into Monday. The
lack of a clean air mass change behind the weekend boundary and
the redevelopment of high pressure that could block a reinforcing
frontal boundary will likely keep some mention of showers in the
forecast to close out the long term forecast period on Tuesday.

Temperatures will generally remain in the lower to mid 80s for
highs until the weekend when the easterly flow and warmer air will
allow for some upper 80s or lower 90s to sneak into portions of
Southwest Florida and the Everglades. Overnight lows will start in
the upper 50s inland to mid to upper 60s along the east coast
metro and increase a few degrees until they range from the mid
60s inland with mid 70s along the Atlantic coast during the
weekend into early next week.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 202 PM EDT Wed Mar 26 2025

VFR prevails at all terminals through this TAF period. E-NE winds
are expected this afternoon, veering more easterly tonight and
tomorrow. There is a very low chance for isolated showers late
today, but expecting any development to occur well away from
terminals and thus no mention of VCSH still. However, short fused
amendments will be made if necessary.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 202 PM EDT Wed Mar 26 2025

High pressure will build back in north of the Gulf waters today and
remain in place through the rest of the week. Expect overall benign
boating conditions will prevail until Thursday morning, then
increasing easterly winds will bring advisory level winds back
over the Atlantic waters by late Thursday afternoon and through
the end of the work week.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 202 PM EDT Wed Mar 26 2025

The risk for rip currents will begin to increase tomorrow for the
end of the week and for this weekend as onshore flow returns and
increases.

...Strong thunderstorms will impact portions of southeastern
Collier, northern Mainland Monroe and western Miami-Dade Counties
through 745 PM EDT...

At 655 PM EDT, National Weather Service meteorologists were tracking
strong thunderstorms capable of producing a funnel cloud along a line
extending from near Dade-Collier Training Airport to 7 miles
northeast of Fortymile Bend. Movement was south at 10 mph.

HAZARD...Funnel clouds and wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Funnel clouds occasionally touch down and produce tornadoes
         or waterspouts. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and
         blow around unsecured objects.

Locations impacted include...
Loop Road Ee Center, Dade-Collier Training Airport, Fortymile Bend,
Shark Valley Obs Tower, The Redland, Big Cypress National Preserve,
and Everglades National Park.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

These winds can down small tree limbs and branches, and blow around
unsecured small objects. Seek shelter in a safe building until the
storm passes.

Persons participating in outdoor activities should seek sturdy
shelter until these storms pass. Open shelters found in parks,
beaches, or golf courses offer no protection from the dangers of
lightning.
