KEY MESSAGES

UPDATE
ISSUED AT 1027 AM EDT FRI APR 24 2026
SUNNY AND BRIGHT ACROSS MOST AREAS OF OUR CWA. A TROUGH BROAD
TROUGH REMAINS ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THIS WILL KEEP ENOUGH
MOISTURE AROUND TO POTENTIALLY SUPPORT A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WHEN
THE SEA BREEZE PUSHES INLAND, ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE
I-75 CORRIDOR. MOST OF US MAY STAY DRY AS MOISTURE INCREASES LATE
AND THE ATMOSPHERE WILL HAVE TO BE SQUEEZED FOR IT TO RAIN. THIS
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES CLIMB UP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S, SO A
FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN YESTERDAY BUT DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE
60S.
NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST AS IT REMAINS ON TRACK.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 713 AM EDT FRI APR 24 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED
ACROSS TERMINALS THIS MORNING. THEN, A LIGHTS SEA BREEZE WILL
BEGIN TO DEVELOP GOING INTO THE AFTERNOON. A TROUGH TO THE EAST
WILL KEEP CLOUDS AROUND, AND COULD BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT
SHOWERS NEAR PGD/FMY/RSW. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH
TO ADD IT TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
