(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 131 AM EDT Sat Apr 27 2024

VFR conditions continue across TAF sites through the period. Gusty
easterly winds prevail through most of the day with some terminals
actually experiencing an slight increase during the evening
hours. Some locations could get gusts near 30 knots. Current
guidance suggests a decrease in speeds towards the end of the
period, except for PIE. Otherwise, partly clear skies are
anticipated wit no other concerns.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 715 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Fairly typical late April weather across the region with high
pressure surface and aloft over the Florida peninsula, which will
hold over the area through Monday. The large scale subsidence
associated with the ridge will continue to create mostly clear
skies and temperatures several degrees above normal. A weak
progressive U/L trough will ride across the southeast U.S. and
Florida on Tuesday, however dry conditions will continue. The U/L
ridge will build back over the forecast area in the wake of the
trough on Wednesday and will persist through the remainder of the
week.
