Protective ridge for SE US next week

[boca]

This is out of MIami NWS

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...AS THE UPP TROUGH/SFC
FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES EAST, A LARGE AMPLITUDE M/U LVL RIDGE WILL
BUILD FROM WRN CARIB NORTH ACROSS EASTERN THIRD OF U.S. THIS WILL
BASICALLY BLOCK ANY SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE NW KEEPING S. FL
UNDER MOSTLY DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS WITH TEMPS CLIMBING TO
SEASONAL OR JUST ABOVE SEASONAL VALUES. A SFC RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC MAY HELP PUSH PATCHES OF CLOUDS/MOISTURE WESTWARD
DURING THIS PERIOD AND MAY GIVE US A SPRINKLE HERE AND THERE, BUT
THE CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL REMAIN VERY LOW.

Judging by this forecast no cold air will be able to move east next week,b ut be shunted NE towards the mid Atlantic.Our SE ridge is back. Back to running the AC in December.

Melbourne concurs with Miami.

TUE-FRI...SFC HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WRN ATLC WILL WEAKEN THROUGH
LATE WEEK...AS ANOTHER SFC HIGH PRESSURE AREA SETS UP OVER FL.
RIDGING ALOFT ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL STRENGTHEN THROUGH
FRI...DRYING THE LOCAL AIRMASS WITH WEAKENING SFC FLOW. LOWS 55 TO
60. HIGHS IN THE MID-UPR 70S. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST LONG STRETCH OF
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS IN OVER A MONTH. THE THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS WILL
ALSO REMAIN ELEVATED DURING THE UPCOMING WEEK WITH LONG PERIOD EAST
SWELLS EXPECTED AT THE BEACHES.
