370 FXUS62 KMFL 212309 AFDMFL Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 609 PM EST Thu Nov 21 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Friday) Issued at 1232 PM EST Thu Nov 21 2024 The first of two cold fronts has made its way across our region today, ushering in sunny skies and cooler conditions. Deep layered dry air was already evident in the 12Z MFL sounding and ACARS soundings from MIA, with PWATs rapidly dropping below 1 inch. High temperatures won`t feel too cool today, ranging from the low to mid 70s over the interior and SW FL, to the upper 70s in SE FL. The start of the cooling trend will be more noticeable tonight, as temperatures fall to the upper 40s around the interior and Lake Okeechobee areas, with low to mid 50s elsewhere. Friday will be another mostly sunny day with breezy northerly winds, and high temperatures only climbing into the low 70s. The second front will drop through the region tomorrow, ushering in even cooler temperatures for the weekend. && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 109 PM EST Thu Nov 21 2024 With high pressure to our north in control, dry and cool weather is expected this weekend. Low temps Saturday and Sunday morning will be in the middle 40s around the lake region, and low to mid 50s across the metro. High temps on Saturday will be roughly 10 degrees below normal, ranging from the upper 60s around the lake region to lower 70s closer to the coasts. As high pressure shifts to the east late in the weekend into early next week, our flow will become easterly, and therefore a slow moderating trend is expected into next week with temps returning to normal, however the dry conditions are expected to persist through at least the middle of next week. && .AVIATION...

Issued at 1232 PM EST Thu Nov 21 2024 Hazardous marine conditions will develop across all local waters today as northerly winds increase to around 15-20 kts in the wake of a cold front. Seas will build to 4 to 7 feet over the Gulf waters, and 5 to 8 feet over the Atlantic waters. Conditions will gradually improve by this weekend as the northerly winds lighten and seas subside. && .BEACHES...
