SHORT TERM

(Today through Saturday) Issued at 100 AM EDT Fri Apr 10 2026

An upper level shortwave will move out of the SE US today into the western Atlantic which will help push the frontal boundary that is just to our south further away from the region. Meanwhile, upper level ridging will start to build in over the next couple days and surface high pressure will build into the area. While there will be plenty of mid level dry air in place, there will still be plenty of low level moisture for scattered showers to develop today. NE winds will remain breezy with gusts of 20-30 mph especially along the coast the next couple of days. Moisture levels continue dropping off on Saturday with forecast soundings showing PWAT values down to around 1 inch. While most of South FL will be dry on Saturday, will keep slight chance PoPs in along the east coast for some occasional quick moving coastal showers.

High temperatures today and Saturday will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s across the east coast metro, and mid to upper 80s across SW FL. Low temps tonight will range from around 60 over interior SW FL, to near 70 close to the east coast.

LONG TERM

(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 100 AM EDT Fri Apr 10 2026

Upper level ridging and surface high pressure will become entrenched across the region for the end of the weekend through the middle of next week. This will result in mainly dry conditions for South FL but remaining breezy each day especially along the Atlantic coast. Temperatures each day through the middle of next week will be fairly consistent with highs ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s across the east coast metro and mid to upper 80s across SW FL. Overnight lows will generally be in the 60s to around 70 near the coast.

The hazardous marine conditions will continue for the Gulf waters until Saturday morning, while in the Atlantic they will remain hazardous into early next week.

BEACHES

Issued at 100 AM EDT Fri Apr 10 2026

Strong persistent easterly flow will result in a high risk of rip currents for the Atlantic beaches through the upcoming weekend.
