.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 236 AM EST Thu Nov 21 2024

The first "cool" snap of the season for South Florida will begin
as the work week comes to an end thanks to the cold front that
passed through the region overnight. A deep layer of northerly
winds behind this front will start to usher in a much drier and
cooler airmass today, which originates from the backside of a deep
mid-level trough covering much of the Eastern US. Skies will
start off mostly cloudy to overcast this morning, but rapidly
become mostly sunny by the afternoon with breezy northerly winds.
High temperatures won`t feel too cool today, ranging from the low
to mid 70s over the interior and SW FL, to the upper 70s in SE FL.
The start of the cooling trend will be more noticeable tonight,
as temperatures fall to the upper 40s around the interior and Lake
Okeechobee areas, with low to mid 50s elsewhere. Friday will be
another mostly sunny day with breezy northerly winds, and high
temperatures only climbing into the low 70s.

(Friday night through Wednesday)

As we move into the weekend, the ridge of high pressure will
settle in over the Florida Peninsula allowing for several days of
dry and cool air. With the entry of the significantly cooler air
mass, this is expected to bring South Florida the coldest
overnight lows since last winter. Low temperatures are forecast to
drop into the mid-40s around Lake Okeechobee and interior
southern FL, with the remainder of South FL in the 50s, early
Saturday and Sunday mornings. Afternoon highs will trend 5 to 10
degrees below climatological normal across a majority of the
region. Some locations, to the north of Alligator Alley, may
struggle to reach 70 degrees on Saturday. This will be, by far,
the coolest day following the passage of the strong cold front
earlier this week.

Early next week, the high pressure system will begin to drift
eastward, allowing for low level winds to begin to veer east-
northeasterly. With the veering winds and influence of the
Atlantic warmth, temperatures will begin to trend warmer and
closer to climatological normals with afternoon highs reaching the
upper 70s and low 80s. Overnight lows will be closer to normal
with temperatures keeping to the upper 50s and 60s by Tuesday
morning. With the influence of the high pressure and dry air mass,
conditions are expected to remain benign and dry through the
through the weekend into the first half of the new week.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 609 AM EST Thu Nov 21 2024

Low cigs resulting from a front just over the region will result
periods of MVFR through the early morning hours. Conditions will
improve later this morning once the front pushes south of the
area. Winds from the NW may become gusty later today behind the
front.

.MARINE...
Issued at 236 AM EST Thu Nov 21 2024

Hazardous marine conditions will develop across all local waters
today as northerly winds increase to around 15-20 kts in the wake
of a cold front that passed through overnight. Seas will build to
4 to 7 feet over the Gulf waters, and 5 to 8 feet over the
Atlantic waters. Conditions will gradually improve by this weekend
as the northerly winds lighten and seas subside.
