SOUTH FLORIDA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1105 AM EDT TUE APR 13 2004

...UPDATE...PLAN TO REMOVE THE WND ADV FOR SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA
IN THE ZONES...AS THE WINDS THAT PROMPTED THE WND ADV BEHIND THE
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE HAS ALSO MOVE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE THAT BROUGHT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY THIS MORNING
HAS MOVED EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS LATE THIS MORNING.

THE SKIES OVER THE CWA THIS MORNING HAS BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY...AND
SHOULD REMAIN PARTLY CLOUDY THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR THE ATMOSPHERE TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND ALLOW FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP AGAIN OVER THE CWA...AS THE
COLD FRONT MOVES EAST FROM THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO INTO THE SOUTH
FLORIDA. SO PLAN ON KEEPING THE POPS AS IS AND ONLY CLEAN UP THE
WORDING.

THE OTHER THING IS THAT THERE IS A MID TO UPPER LEVEL JET OF 130
KNOTS WITH A LOW LEVEL JET AROUND 50 KNOTS MOVING FROM THE CENTRAL
GULF OF MEXICO AND INTO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL FLORIDA. SO ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON COULD BECOME STRONG
WITH WIND STRONG WIND GUSTS.

REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKS GOOD AT THIS TIME.

.MARINE...NO CHANGES ARE PLAN TO THE MARINE PACKAGE...EXCEPT TO
REMOVE THE MORNING WORDING.
