.DISCUSSION...

Issued at 939 PM EDT Sun Apr 6 2025



Winds continue to trend downwards this evening and are now 

moderate east to southeasterly. Winds will continue to slowly

relax through the night. Meanwhile, amplified troughing pressing 

into the eastern United States and Gulf will displace eastward the

mid to upper level ridge currently located across Florida and the

Bahamas. Even so, deep layered ridging will cling to control of 

our area with precipitable water remaining near seasonal norms, 

limited CAPE, and weak inhibition. Expect overnight lows to range

in the upper 70s with dew points broadly in the lower 70s. Rain 

chances, while not absolutely zero, will be quite slim.

.MARINE...

Issued at 939 PM EDT Sun Apr 6 2025



An Atlantic surface pressure ridge stretches westward across South

Florida and the Straits and well into the Gulf. After a quite

prolonged period of strong east southeasterlies, breezes have

relaxed. Advisories were lowered across all waters earlier this

afternoon, however Cautions remain for Hawk Channel and the

Straits. Essentially no changes made in the evening marine update.
