DISCUSSION...
High pressure will continue to linger across South Florida in one
form or another through the week. For tonight, expecting another
cool night though not as cold as last night. The easterly flow
today has helped moderate the airmass a tad and allowed for a
resurgence in surface moisture this afternoon. Clear skies will
allow for some radiational cooling overnight, but would not be
surprised to see the increasing dew point values spreading
westward help moderate the overnight lows.

Wednesday appears to be another beautiful dry season day across
South Florida with temperatures rebounding into the 70s across
the region under sunny skies. The moderating trend will continue
through the week with moisture returning as early as Thursday that
will make some Atlantic showers a possibility, particularly along
the east coast.

Generally zonal flow at the mid-levels will continue to encourage
this relatively quiet synoptic pattern across southern Florida.
Late in the weekend into early next week, a system will push
across the nation. At the moment, it appears the mid and upper
level features associated with this system will lack the ability
to push into Florida as the push across the southeastern and
eastern United States. This could change, but at this time the
forecast will remain without influence from this system.

MARINE...
Light easterly wind should continue to provide weather-hazard-
free conditions for mariners through the weekend. The possibility
of Atlantic showers returns by Thursday, but the impacts from
these showers for mariners should be minimal.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1248 PM EST Tue Jan 31 2017/

AVIATION...Winds starting to shift NNE along east coast with
guidance still indicating winds veering more ENE. Wind speeds
expected to be 6-9kts, with the potential for some variability
between NNW and ENE through through 23Z. Light Gulf breeze bring
winds around to the WNW 20Z-00Z. Winds become light after 23Z,
with drainage flow developing at all sites overnight. Winds
picking up out of the ENE again tomorrow afternoon.
