.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 732 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

Prevailing VFR conditions with winds less than 10 knots expected
through the forecast period. Rain and storm chances remain on the
low side, so will no include any mention of SHRA or TSRA at any of
the terminals at this time.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...
Issued at 406 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

A fairly quiet morning across paradise...temperatures ranging from
the upper 60s to low 70s across the area. Meanwhile, upper and
surface high pressure is expected to build through Friday. This
set up supports light easterly winds during the day and the
afternoon sea breeze shifting winds onshore. The E/W Coast breezes
collide over the interior, but limited moisture keeps rain
chances low (10-25%) during this time. On the other hand,
afternoon temperatures will be around 90 degrees across the state,
so residents and visitors should stay hydrated to prevent any
heat related illnesses.

.MARINE...
Issued at 342 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

Ridge of high pressure remains in control over the Gulf waters
through the period. Mostly rain free conditions are anticipated
with highest rain chances over land during this time. Winds should
remain 15 knots or less and seas 2 feet or less making for
pleasant boating conditions through the week. A sea breeze is
expected close to the coast each afternoon and evening.
