.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 127 AM EST Sun Nov 10 2024
The inverted surface trough will arrive into the South Florida
region by the overnight hours tonight, while breezy easterly to
southeasterly winds continue for today as the region sits on the
periphery of high pressure centered over the Atlantic waters in
the Mid-Atlantic region. Sunday will stay predominantly dry as
plentiful dry air exists in the mid-levels and upper-levels of the
local atmosphere. However, isolated showers moving briskly from
the Atlantic over the east coast are likely at times given enough
shallow moisture from the 850mb layer and below.
As moisture advection increases with the arrival of the trough
Sunday night (PWATs rising to 1.7-2.0" across the area with higher
values in SE Florida. Scattered showers will continue to develop
overnight into Monday morning although forcing from the trough
will not be extreme given that it will be in a weakening state at
that point. Thus, showers are expected to be weaker with
thunderstorms unlikely. With that said, cannot entirely rule out
an isolated thunderstorm or two on Monday.
Temperatures will remain above normal today and tomorrow with high
temperatures in the mid to upper 80s across South Florida. Overnight
lows will be mostly in the low to mid 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 127 AM EST Sun Nov 10 2024
Heading into Tuesday and the middle of the week, the surface and
mid level inverted troughs wash out and mid level ridging
gradually builds into South Florida from the Gulf of Mexico. This
ridge will quickly flatten out and push eastward as a stronger
mid level trough pushes across the Eastern Seaboard for the second
half of the week. At the surface, a weakening frontal boundary
will approach from the north and actually push through South
Florida during the middle of the week, likely by end of day
Wednesday. This front will not have a lot of moisture or
instability to work with, and thus chances of showers will remain
low out ahead of the front. Behind the front, a much drier air
mass will push into the region for the second half of the week as
well as slightly cooler temperatures.
While high temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday will remain in
the mid to upper 80s across most areas, these temperatures will
only reach the lower 80s in general behind the front on Thursday
and Friday. Overnight lows towards the end of the week will drop
into the lower to mid 60s across the Lake Okeechobee region, and
into the upper 60s to around 70 across the east coast metro areas.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 652 AM EST Sun Nov 10 2024
Gusty easterly to southeasterly wind flow continues with the
potential for bouts of MVFR with passing showers and low cigs. An
approaching disturbance tonight into Monday will lead to an
increasing chance of convection.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 127 AM EST Sun Nov 10 2024
Easterly winds will remain elevated on Sunday around 20 kts for
the Atlantic waters with seas of 4-6 ft. Breezy winds around 15
kts will continue for the rest of the local waters. Conditions are
expected to improve in the first half of this coming week as the
pressure gradient weakens.
&&
.BEACHES...
Issued at 127 AM EST Sun Nov 10 2024
Easterly flow will persist today and through the first half of
this week, keeping a high risk for rip currents ongoing. Winds
will weaken a bit in the early week period, but likely not enough
to eliminate the high risk. Additionally, we look to be entering
another period of king tides towards the middle of this week which
could bring back some coastal flooding concerns.
