Area Forecast Discussion ...UPDATED National Weather Service Miami FL 638am EST Sat Feb 15 2025 Long Term (Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 210am EST Sat Feb 15 2025 With the mid level trough axis associated with the aforementioned shortwave remaining off to the north, the frontal boundary will be in a weakening state as it passes through South Florida Sunday night into early Monday as the best mid level energy and dynamics race off to the northeast. While isolated to scattered showers will be possible out ahead of the front Sunday night into Monday, thunderstorm chances will remain extremely low due to lack of instability as well as no mid to upper level support. Once the front passes through on Monday, it will stall out just to the south of the region over the Florida Keys. This will allow for the winds to shift around to the north northeast on Monday ushering in some relief from the above normal temperatures that have been persistent over the past several days. With the front stalling out nearby, there will be enough lower level moisture in place to support a slight chance of showers mainly across the east coast metro areas throughout the day. High temperatures on Monday will generally rise into the mid to upper 70s across most areas. The exception to this will be over extreme Southwest Florida where highs could still rise into the lower 80s. Zonal flow to weak mid level ridging will return to South Florida on Tuesday into Wednesday as another mid level shortwave moves out of the Desert Southwest and into the Southern Plains and Northern Gulf by Wednesday. This shortwave will help to organize a broad area of low pressure over the Deep South and Northern Gulf later on Tuesday and into Tuesday night and this area of low pressure will strengthen as it pushes eastward along the Gulf Coast and eventually into the western Atlantic off of the Southeast coast. In response to this developing area of low pressure, the weak frontal boundary stalled out to the south will gradually lift northward over South Florida Tuesday keeping the chances of showers in place mainly across the eastern half of the region as well as the Lake Okeechobee region during this time frame. High temperatures will be on a warming trend on Tuesday as they will rise into the upper 70s along the east coast to lower 80s across Southwest Florida. Uncertainty starts to rise in the forecast at this point and then heading towards the second half of the week as the latest ensemble and global model suite remain in disagreement in regard to the timing and intensity of the frontal boundary as it pushes through South Florida. While the exact details still need to be ironed out, as the front gets closer to the region on Wednesday, chances of showers will increase during this time frame and thunder cannot be completely ruled out and this will depend on the track and intensity of the front as it approaches. These showers and potential thunderstorms could linger into Thursday depending on how fast the front pushes through. This will continue to be monitored as the week progresses. High temperatures on Wednesday will rise into the lower 80s along the east coast to the mid 80s across interior portions of Southwest Florida. Marine Issued at 210am EST Sat Feb 15 2025 A moderate to fresh southeasterly wind flow will develop across the local waters today. These winds will gradually shift and become south southeasterly tonight, and then southwesterly on Sunday out ahead of an approaching cold front. Seas across the Atlantic waters will build and range from 4 to 6 feet into tonight before gradually diminishing for the second half of the weekend. Seas across the Gulf waters will generally remain at 2 feet or less through the weekend. Isolated to scattered showers will be possible on Sunday night into Monday as the front pushes through the region. Beaches Issued at 210am EST Sat Feb 15 2025 A high risk of rip currents will develop across the Atlantic Coast beaches today as onshore flow increases along with an increasing swell in the Atlantic waters. The risk of rip currents may remain high over the Atlantic beaches heading into the second half of the weekend as well. NOAA Miami FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...High Rip Current Risk through Sunday evening for FLZ168-172-173. AM...None. GM...None. |
