SHORT TERM
(REST OF TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1221 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2024
THE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA DOES NOT CHANGE MUCH
TONIGHT OR MONDAY AS MID LEVEL RIDGING REMAINS OVER THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA ALONG WITH A SURFACE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
THE SOUTHEAST AND WESTERN ATLANTIC. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THE
DRY AIR MASS IN PLACE THROUGH MONDAY AS PWAT VALUES GENERALLY WILL
RANGE BETWEEN 0.7 AND 0.9 INCHES DURING THIS TIME FRAME. WITH THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUING TO RELAX ACROSS THE REGION, WINDS WILL
REMAIN LIGHT TO MODERATE THROUGH MONDAY. WHILE THESE WINDS WILL BE
EASTERLY FOR MOST OF THE TIME, THEY MAY START TO VEER AND BECOME
MORE SOUTHEASTERLY HEADING TOWARDS THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS ON
MONDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE LOWER
60S ACROSS THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA TO THE MID 60S
ACROSS THE REST OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S ACROSS THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS. HIGH TEMPERATURES
ON MONDAY WILL RISE INTO THE LOWER 80S ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 157 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2024
MID TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO PRESIDE OVER SE CONUS
THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK. SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS ACROSS
THE GREAT PLAINS REGION WILL BEGIN TO NUDGE HIGH PRESSURE EASTWARD
INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ON TUESDAY. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE REMNANTS
OF SARA WILL BE PULLED NORTHWARD INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. IT APPEARS
LIKELY THAT THIS RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL CONGEAL INTO SEMI-ORGANIZED
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE TAIL OF AN ELONGATED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS SE CONUS BY EARLY TO MID WEEK PERIOD.
AS OF NOW, WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY COULD BE A PERIOD TO
MONITOR FOR IMPACTFUL WEATHER AS THE STRONG FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE
REGION, THOUGH FOR NOW SENSIBLE WEATHER IMPACTS ARE SOMEWHAT
LIMITED, WITH GUSTY (LIKELY SUB-SEVERE) SQUALLS AND BRIEF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION IF THE CURRENT MODEL PROGNOSTICS
ARE REALIZED.
BEYOND WEDNESDAY INTO THE LATE WEEK PERIOD, LONG TERM MODEL
SOLUTIONS ARE GENERALLY IN AGREEMENT ON A STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPING
THROUGH THE REGION AT SOME POINT THURSDAY (AS OF NOW). BOTH THE
DETERMINISTIC ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE BRISK NORTHWESTERLY WINDS
LIKELY ADVECTING A (MODIFIED) CONTINENTAL POLAR AIRMASS, DROPPING
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS INTO THE LOWEST RANGES EXPERIENCED THUS
FAR IN THE DRY SEASON. AS OF NOW, OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES MAY
RANGE FROM THE LOW TO UPPER 50S ACROSS THE INTERIOR/COASTAL REGIONS,
WHILE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES REACH ONLY INTO THE LOW/MID 70S, THOUGH
THESE VALUES ARE CERTAINLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE HOW
SYNOPTIC PATTERN EVOLVES.
