.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 430 AM EDT Thu May 30 2024

Key Messages:

- Hot temperatures continue Today, with mid 90s over the interior.

- Onshore breezes will lessen heat impacts this weekend, and drier
  air will once again limit rain potential.

Today-Fri...Patchy ground fog this morning south and east of
Orlando will quickly dissipate after sunrise though until then
localized visibilities may be reduced below one half mile at
times. Such patchiness of the fog can make driving more hazardous
especially at high speeds. A weak frontal boundary lingers in the
vicinity of the local area through Friday. Continued dry air will
limit shower and thunderstorm chances, especially across northern
sections today. The best chance for aftn showers and storms will
be over Osceola and Okeechobee counties (30%). Some debris rain
may reach coastal counties toward evening from Brevard southward.
Max temps will again reach the Mid 90s inland and L90s along the
coast, with a slow inland moving sea breeze in the afternoon.

On Fri, building high pressure down the mid Atlc into the SE
coastal states will produce a breezier NE wind flow and push a
diffuse east coast sea breeze quickly inland with the collision
occurring on the western half of the peninsula. An earlier onset
of the sea breeze will finally provide a small amount of relief
from the heat with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 along the
coast and low to mid 90s inland. Rain chances look too low to
mention along the coast and only up to a 30 PoP over the far
interior (Kissimmee River and Lake county).

Sat-Wed...High pressure ridge builds into the western Atlc and
considerable dry air is forecast to move in from the east. Have
removed mentionable rain chances for the weekend keeping a silent
10 PoP. The East coast sea breeze will remain dominant in
prevailing onshore flow, increasing 15-20 mph this weekend, with
higher gusts. Stronger onshore flow will help to keep high
temperatures near normal, in the mid to upper 80s coast and near
90/lower 90s inland. The dry airmass will gradually modify next
week with rain chances slowly increasing 20 percent Mon and Tue
and 30 percent Wed. Temperatures will also begin a slow climb but
not getting as hot as it has been.

.MARINE...
Issued at 430 AM EDT Thu May 30 2024

Today...Only a slight chance mention for PoPs in the afternoon
are forecast for the Treasure Coast waters. Most of the aftn
storms will remain over the peninsula. Light W to NW flow this
morning will turn NE-E 10-12 knots this afternoon. Seas 1-2 ft.

Fri-Mon...Boating conditions will deteriorate slightly into this
weekend, as high pressure builds south down the eastern seaboard
then shifts off the Carolina coast. Onshore winds increase 15 kts
and even 15-20 kts at times Fri night/Sat. Mainly dry conditions.
Seas 2-3 ft Fri will build 3-5 ft Sat and 3-4 FT Sun-Mon.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 430 AM EDT Thu May 30 2024

Min RH values are forecast to reach between 25-30% north of I-4
corridor, especially Lake county while rising to 40-50% along the
coast. Onshore (northeast to east) winds are forecast to increase
10 to 15 mph in the afternoon, with Very Good to Excellent
dispersion. There will be a small threat for afternoon storms
mainly in Osceola and Okeechobee counties.

Min RH values will hold around 35% percent Friday over the interior and
this will persist through the weekend. Very sensitive fire weather
conditions will persist, as onshore winds are forecast to increase to
around 15 mph and gusty while rain chances remain very low.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 338 AM EDT Thu May 30 2024

Mostly VFR and dry conditions are forecast. TEMPO groups for patchy
ground fog have been added this morning at FPR/VRB. Light and
variable winds will increase into the afternoon hours from the ENE
at 10-12kts. VCTS/TEMPO groups have been kept out of the TAFs with
the greatest chance for showers/storms this afternoon expected
across the interior to the WSW of the Treasure Coast terminals.
