Wednesday Evening Weather Update = Spring is here

-
Updated:2350z/19:50/7:50pm
---------------------------------FORECAST-----------------------------------
TONIGHT - Lows in the mid 40's, clear for the most part.
THURSDAY - Sun in the morning will transition to clouds towards the afternoon/evening as a coastal storm develops well to the south of us. Highs in the low 60's.
FRIDAY - What was suppose to be a nor'easter hitting us is now an ocean storm that will head out to sea, that being said we could see a few showers in the afternoon. Otherwise, mostly cloudy maybe some sun and highs near 60°.
SATURDAY - Partly sunny and we get back into the low to mid 60's, sunny for the most part as High pressure builds over the area.
-------------------------FORECAST DISCUSSION-------------------------
Liked the warmth today eh???? Well...lets get back to slightly cooler temps and then back to much warmer temps...such is spring!
Tomorrow will be slightly cooler as we get an east flow off the ocean, as we all know ocean breezes during the day will bring cooler temps - its why we love the beach! Quickie little "lesson" in basics of sea breezes: During the day the air warms very quickly compared to the water (takes a lot more energy to heat water then land) and this warm air rises and creates lower pressure over the land then water. Cool air over the water sinks, and this is our High pressure...now of course this can be altered if there is another system to change it, but in general, because of the pressure gradient between land and water, we get wind. During the night this usually reverses....OK, Now tomorrow will be a bit more of a "sea" breeze, easterly flow will cool things down a bit.
NRG will dive south from the lakes (short wave) thursday night to help our Nor'Easter (misser) to form and so we cannot rule out a slight slight chance of showers in the evening-nighttime...but I doubt it.
Overall the upper trough that has been affecting our area will begin to retrograde this weekend, but during this time we cannot rule out some showers friday night as some "spokes" of nrg drop down and out. High pressure will begin to build over the area to our east and ridging to the west, temps warm up...SW flow in the beginning of the week as the Jet moves north will bring some warm warm temps to the start of the week...high 70's and likely 80° to low 80's maybe, upper air pattern all over the place right now and cold front looks to come through around same time might mess our temps up a bit...we shall see! Signs shifting to a nice and warm may, not too warm but not too cold, and Florida will get a nice break into cooler temps smile emoticon
Have a great night!
