.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 212 AM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

A departing upper trough/front complex will drift northeastward, leaving
breezy northeasterly winds in its wake. This will result in
cooler/drier conditions compared to prior days, particularly along
the Atlantic coast/metro region of South Florida. Expect maximum
temperatures to reach the upper 70s to around 80 degrees along the
east coast, while the interior and west coast may reach the
low/mid 80s.

Overall, little to no change in the weather regime
for Wednesday. Expect mild and dry conditions to continue, with
mostly clear to partly cloudy skies prevailing through the day.
Maximum temperatures again span from the low to mid 80s, with
overnight lows ranging from the 60s to around 70 degrees.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 212 AM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

As the week progresses and the weekend approaches, an advancing mid-level
ridge from the Gulf of Mexico will extend eastward into the
region. Concurrently, at the surface level, a dominant high-
pressure system positioned to the northeast will continue to shape
the synoptic weather pattern across South Florida through this
period. Predominantly dry conditions are anticipated to persist,
though the strengthening of easterly winds towards the weekend
could enhance lower-level moisture advection. This may result in
sporadic and brief showers, primarily over the Atlantic waters and
along the eastern coastline during the weekend. Maximum
temperatures will generally range in the lower 80s in the east
coast metropolitan areas, extending to the mid to upper 80s across
Southwest Florida.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 121 AM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period. Generally
N-NE winds this morning, will shift NErly by late morning
sustained at around 10-15kts with gusts up to around 20 kts. An
afternoon wind shift to the NW will be possible at KAPF.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 212 AM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Hazardous marine conditions continue across the Atlantic waters, owing
to a northeasterly swell and breezy winds in the wake of a
passing cold front to the northeast. Conditions will gradually
taper off through the day, and seas will subside by Wednesday. A
persistent fetch of breezy easterly winds may allow for hazardous
marine conditions later in the week.

&&

.BEACHES...
Issued at 212 AM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

A high risk for rip currents will continue across all Atlantic beaches
today and through much of the week in the presence of onshore
flow.
