...High Risk Of Rip Currents East Coast Beaches This Weekend...
...Dry Weather Continues This Weekend Into Early Next Week...
...New LONG TERM...
.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Friday)
Issued at 1202 PM EDT Thu Apr 17 2025
Dry conditions will persist through the end of the work-week as
surface high pressure remains in control and the region remains
under upper level ridging. Outside of some scattered cumulus clouds
across the metro, mostly clear skies expected today. Afternoon high
temps will range from the lower 80s across the east coast metro to
upper 80s over SW FL. Overnight lows will range from around 60 over
the interior and SW FL, to around 70 closer to the Atlantic coast.
On Friday the surface high will slide further away from the Mid-
Atlantic coast into the western Atlantic, and the pressure gradient
locally with tighten. This will result in breezy easterly winds
gusting to around 25 mph from late morning through the afternoon.
High temps will again be in the lower 80s across the east coast
metro to upper 80s over SW FL.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 224 PM EDT Thu Apr 17 2025
High pressure in the mid levels of the atmosphere will remain
over the Florida Peninsula this weekend into middle of next week.
At the same time, the surface high will remain over the Western
Atlantic waters while strengthening this weekend into early next
week. This will keep the weather dry over South Florida through
middle of next week while allowing for the pressure gradient to
tighten over the area. This in turn will lead to breezy to even
possible windy conditions over the east coast metro areas.
Highs each day will be mainly in the mid 80s to near 90 over most
of South Florida except lower to mid 80s over the east coast metro
areas. Lows each night will be in the 60s over most areas except
lower to mid 70s over the east coast metro areas.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1202 PM EDT Thu Apr 17 2025
Mainly VFR through the 18Z TAF period. E/NE winds 10-15 kts across
the east coast metro, with a brief gulf breeze expected this
afternoon at APF. Easterly winds back off to under 10 kts late
this evening. Breezy easterly winds expected after 15Z Friday with
gusts of 20-25 kts possible.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 1202 PM EDT Thu Apr 17 2025
Gentle to moderate east to northeasterly winds today across the
local waters. Seas in the Atlantic 2-4 ft and seas in the Gulf 2 ft
or less. Pressure gradient tightens on Friday which moderate to
fresh easterly winds. A period of hazardous winds and seas is likely
across the Atlantic waters from late Friday through early Sunday.
&&
.BEACHES...
Issued at 1202 PM EDT Thu Apr 17 2025
Moderate northeasterly flow will result in an elevated risk of rip
currents today for the Atlantic beaches. As the flow becomes more
easterly and strengthens beginning Friday, a high risk of rip
currents is expected for the Atlantic beaches through at least
Sunday.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1205 PM EDT Thu Apr 17 2025
Dry air remains settled across the region today. Min RH values of
30-35% are expected this afternoon over inland SW FL. While winds
will be light, the low RH values combined with persistent dry
weather and fuels will result in enhanced fire wx concerns today.
