Noon News Update: December 8, 2015

 

SKIES HAVE CLEARED ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION THIS MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES AT THIS TIME RANGING FROM THE UPPER 40S NORTH TO THE LOWER 60S SOUTH. FOR THE REST OF TODAY IT LOOKS LIKE MUCH OF THE AREA WILL REMAIN SUNNY...BUT SOME WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE OCCURRING WHICH SHOULD HELP DEVELOP MORE STRATOCUMULUS/ALTOCUMULUS OVER THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR AND SOUTHWEST COUNTIES. THIS WEAK LIFT WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AND EXPECT TO SEE THESE CLOUDS DEVELOP NORTHWARD INTO AT LEAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB TO NEAR NORMAL THIS AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S. OVERALL THE CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS OK WITH NO MORNING UPDATE PLANNED.

 

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH TODAY WITH CEILINGS AROUND PGD...FMY AND RSW REMAINING ABOVE 3000 FEET. THEN TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING CEILINGS COULD FALL TO MVFR CRITERIA AND DEVELOP FURTHER NORTH INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA.

 

NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON WITH WIND SPEEDS DROPPING TO 15 KNOTS OR LESS. WILL THEREFORE LET THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY EXPIRE AT 10 AM. NO OTHER FLAGS ANTICIPATED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES ACROSS THE WATERS.
