.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 154 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026

Today-Tonight...Ridge aloft remains extended across the area as
surface ridge axis of high pressure across the Atlantic persists
north of central FL. This will continue a warm and mostly dry
pattern across the region today, with highs near to slightly above
normal, ranging from near 80 degrees at the coast and low to mid 80s
across the interior. Despite an overall dry airmass (PW values
around 0.7-0.8"), there is enough moisture in the lower levels for
the easterly flow to generate a few onshore moving sprinkles, mainly
along the Treasure Coast through this morning and into the
afternoon. Radar imagery has already shown some very light showers
move onshore Martin County. However, not expecting much in the way
of measurable rainfall with this activity, so rain chances remain
low (10% or less). Models show airmass drying out even further in
tonight which should end any of these light showers and sprinkles.
Easterly winds increase up to 10-15 mph today, with gusts to around
20 mph. Onshore winds then diminish into tonight with temps falling
into the mid 50s to low 60s across the interior, and in the low to
mid 60s at the coast. HREF guidance shows a better potential for
patchy fog late tonight through early Wednesday morning across to
northwest of the I-4 corridor.

A High Risk for life-threatening rip currents persists at area
beaches today due to a lingering swell. Entering the surf is not
advised.

Wednesday-Sunday...Ridge axis remains north of the area through
Thursday and then model guidance shows it settling southward across
the area late week into the weekend, which will weaken the onshore
flow. Ridge aloft will remain extended across the area, continuing a
warming trend through the period and overall dry conditions. Onshore
winds and inland moving sea breeze will continue to keep warmest max
temperatures across the interior each day. Highs will remain closer
to normal in the upper 70s/low 80s at the coast Wednesday and
Thursday, and be warmer than normal inland, in the mid to upper 80s.
As temperatures continue to climb into late week and into the
weekend, max temps will become above normal area-wide, ranging from
the low to mid 80s at the coast and then climbing into the low 90s
across the interior. For inland sites, these highs will be nearing
record values, but greatest potential for any tied or broken daily
records still look to be at Leesburg Friday through Sunday.

Monday-Tuesday...A weak cold front is forecast to move through the
area Sunday night into early Monday. This will finally lead to a
cooling trend into early next week and also bring a return of rain
chances. However, for now PoPs remain on the lower end (around 20-
30%), as there remains some differences in overall moisture return
and shower coverage between the GFS/ECMWF, with the GFS still
slightly wetter than the ECMWF. Both models show a period of breezy
to windy northeast to east winds developing behind the front that
will continue into Tuesday.

.MARINE...
Issued at 154 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026

Boating conditions will continue to become more favorable the
remainder of the week and into the weekend. Ridge axis of high
pressure across the Atlantic remains north of the waters through
midweek and then settles southward across central Florida late this
week and into the weekend. E/SE winds will generally continue over
the next several days in the prevailing flow as ridge axis remains
to the north, and then into the afternoon/evening hours Friday
through Sunday with the developing east coast sea breeze as ridge
settles across the area. Wind speeds will range from 5-15 knots,
with seas 3-5 feet today and Wednesday falling to 2-4 feet into late
week, and then 2-3 feet into the weekend. A few light showers and
sprinkles may develop from time to time in the onshore flow, but
overall dry conditions are forecast for the next several days.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFs)
Issued at 154 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026

Mainly VFR conditions through the TAF period. Very low chances (10%
or less) for patchy ground fog north of I-4 early in the morning. E-
ESE winds 5-10 kts along the Space/Treasure Coasts and 5 kts or less
at northern/inland terminals tonight pick up to 8-13 kts with
occasionally stronger gusts in the afternoon, highest along the
southern coast behind the sea breeze. ISO -SHRA possible from KMLB-
KSUA, but VIS/CIG impacts minimal.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 154 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026

Prevailing onshore winds will generally continue through Thursday as
ridge axis of high pressure across the Atlantic remains just north
of the area. Easterly winds will increase up to 10-15 mph each
afternoon through midweek, with strongest winds generally at the
coast. Gusts to around 20 mph will also be possible today. Dry
conditions are forecast to prevail through late week, with a gradual
warming trend continuing over the next several days. Onshore flow
will keep Min RH values above critical levels in the mid 40s to mid
50s at the coast. However, well inland, across areas near to
northwest of I-4, Min RH values as low as 35-40 percent are forecast
this afternoon, with more critical values in the low to mid 30s
across this far inland portion of east central Florida Wednesday and
Thursday. However, wind speeds are forecast to remain below 15 mph
across this area where lower RH values occur. Dispersion values will
be Good to Very Good both today and Wednesday.
