.UPDATE...
Issued at 914 PM EST Sat Jan 4 2025
Models suggest winds veering onshore later in the morning than
during the afternoon forecast update. Thus, have dropped Sunday
morning low temperatures a few degrees along the coast to come
into better alignment with MOS consensus. Temperatures over the
interior remain largely unchanged. Overnight lows are forecast in
the mid 30s to around 40 west of I-95 and along the Volusia County
coast. Elsewhere, temperatures are now forecast to reach the lower
to mid-40s, with the exception of coastal Martin County, which
looks to remain around 50. Regardless, temperatures will feel like
the mid to upper 30s across most of east central Florida, due to
wind chills. However, northerly winds have diminished from
overnight last night. The chance for frost remains unchanged,
with patchy frost possible across northern Lake and western
Volusia Counties.
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
Issued at 346 PM EST Sat Jan 4 2025
Tonight-Sunday... Surface high pressure slides across the southeast
U.S. and offshore. A chilly night is forecast with light north-
northeast winds and clear skies. Upper 30s to low 40s are forecast
west of I-95 and along the Volusia coast while areas along the
Brevard and Treasure Coast will see lows mostly in the mid 40s. A
few normally colder locations across northern Lake and western
Volusia counties could fall into the mid 30s and patchy frost will
be possible for these locations. Winds begin to veer onshore after
day break becoming southeast into tomorrow evening. A warmer airmass
begins to build allowing afternoon highs to reach the low to mid
70s. No precip is forecast.
Monday-Tuesday Night (modified previous)... A strong cold front
crosses the Deep South Monday, pushing across the Florida peninsula
Monday night. A short warming trend continues locally into Monday
with winds veering S/SW and becoming breezy ahead of the cold front.
Winds will continue to veer to the northwest Monday night and into
Tuesday as the boundary passes, with speeds 7-12 mph through the day
Tuesday. There is low to medium (20-30 percent) chance of showers on
Monday, mainly from Titusville to Lake Kissimmee northward.
Otherwise, mostly dry conditions are expected.
Temperatures will be slightly above normal for this time of year on
Monday, with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70s. A much drier
and colder airmass will then push across ECFL Monday night into
Tuesday behind the frontal passage. Afternoon highs will be in the
low 50s to low 60s Tuesday. Slight model disagreement continues
between the GFS/ECMWF on how cold it will get early Tuesday morning,
with the ECMWF remaining the cooler solution. Current forecast has
overnight lows on Monday falling into the 40s, with mid to upper 30s
possible north of I-4. Due to the clear to mostly clear skies and
light winds on Tuesday night, night-time cooling will be effective.
Thus, overnight lows on Tuesday will be a bit cooler than on Monday,
with lows ranging from low to mid 30s across much of the interior,
with upper 30s to low 40s along the coast.
Wednesday-Saturday (modified previous)... High pressure will then
build southward into central/southern Plains with the axis building
over the Deep South and the Florida peninsula mid to late week. A
weaker cold front will then push through east central Florida late
Wednesday night into Thursday, with another weak cold front moving
across the area Saturday. A cool, dry airmass will remain in place
through the period, providing mostly dry conditions. However, there
is a low chance (20 percent) of showers across much of the area
Friday night ahead of the approaching cold front. As of now,
conditions do not look favorable for lightning storms. Northwest
winds will prevail through midweek, generally around 5-10 mph. Winds
veer onshore Friday, becoming west to southwest Saturday afternoon.
Temperatures will be well below normal for this time of year.
Afternoon highs will be in the mid 50s to mid 60s from Wednesday
through Thursday. Warming late week with highs ranging the mid 60s
to low 70s Saturday. The deterministic NBM guidance for overnight
lows Wednesday were a little too warm once again, especially along
the coast, so decided to do a blend of NBM and NBM50 to bring in
some lower temperatures. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid
30s across much of the area, with upper 30s to low 40s along the
coast from Brevard southward Wednesday and Thursday nights. Lows
will slowly warm up Friday and Saturday, with values ranging the mid
40s to low 50s early this weekend.

.MARINE...
Issued at 346 PM EST Sat Jan 4 2025

the evening hours. Seas then become widely 3-5 ft into Sunday. North
winds around 10-15 kts diminish to 5-10 kts and veer onshore
Sunday. Dry through the period.
Monday-Wednesday...A cold front approaches central Florida Monday,
moving across the local waters Monday night. Poor to hazardous
boating conditions develop as southwest winds increase between 20-30
kts ahead of the front. Winds veer north behind the front
diminishing to 15-20 kts Tuesday and 10-15 kts Wednesday. Seas begin
to gradually build to 6-7 ft far offshore Monday, with 7-8 ft seas
spreading across the Gulf Stream Tuesday. Seas widely 3-5 ft

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 346 PM EST Sat Jan 4 2025
Afternoon-Sunday... A dry airmass in place has promoted sensitive
fire weather conditions this afternoon. Lowest RH values have been
observed along and north of the I-4 corridor, falling into the low
to mid 20s. North winds have gradually diminished through the day,
now between 5-10 mph. Slightly higher winds still along the coast.
Light north-northeast winds overnight veer onshore into Sunday
allowing moisture to recover some. However, sensitive RHs remain
across the far northwest interior in the Sunday afternoon
(35-40%).
