AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
128 PM EDT THU MAY 26 2005

.DISCUSSION...A STATIONARY FRONT WAS LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN
PORTION OF THE CWA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON FROM ABOUT NAPLES EAST TO
PALM BEACH. SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WERE STARTING TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AS THE SEA BREEZES DEVELOP AND
INTERACT WITH THE FRONT.

THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL ALSO SINK A LITTLE BIT SOUTH THIS
AFTERNOON TO THE AROUND THE INTERSTATE I-75 CORRIDOR...AS A WEAK
SHORT WAVE OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO MOVES ALONG THE THE FRONT
BRINGING IN SOME COOLER AIR ALOFT INTO THE CWA. THEREFORE...THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH
THROUGH THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON...AND ALLOW FOR A FEW STORMS TO
BECOME STRONG THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL.

THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END THIS EVENING OR EARLY
TONIGHT OVER THE CWA...AS THE WEAK SHORT WAVES MOVES EAST INTO THE
ATLANTIC WATERS. THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE BACK NORTH
TOWARDS THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE AREA TONIGHT ALLOWING THE WINDS TO
SWING MORE TO A SOUTH DIRECTION BUT REMAIN LIGHT OVER THE CWA. SO
WITH THE FRONT TO THE NORTH...LIGHT SOUTH WINDS...AND PRECIP THIS
AFTERNOON OVER THE CWA...PLAN ON PUTTING SOME PATCHY FOG INTO THE
ZONES FOR THE INTERIOR AND EAST COAST INLAND AREAS TONIGHT.

THE STATIONARY FRONT SHOULD THEN SLOWLY DISSIPATE ON FRIDAY...AS
THE BOTH SEA BREEZES DEVELOP OVER THE CWA ALLOWING FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS OF THE CWA EARLY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE STEERING FLOW WILL STILL BE FROM
THE WEST DIRECTION OVER THE ALLOWING FOR THE INTERIOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE EAST INTO THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS. SO THE
HIGHEST POPS WILL BE ALONG THE EAST COAST AREAS ON FRIDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN BAHAMAS WILL MOVE NORTH INTO THE
ATLANTIC WATERS THIS WEEKEND ALLOWING THE WINDS TO BE FROM THE
SOUTH OVER THE CWA. SO ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO
DEVELOP THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WILL MAINLY BE OVER THE NORTHERN
INTERIOR AREAS WERE THE SEA BREEZES AND LAKE BREEZE COLLIDE.

.EXTENDED FORECAST...THE HIGH WILL THEN WEAKEN EARLY NEXT WEEK
ALLOWING FOR A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OVER TEXAS LATE THIS
WEEKEND TO MOVE EAST NORTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES.
THIS WILL ALLOW THE WINDS TO SWING MORE TO THE SOUTHWEST AND BRING
IN TROPICAL MOISTURE TO THE CWA WITH VERY WARM TEMPERATURES FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR ALONG THE EAST COAST.

THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY
ALONG THE EAST COAST FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...DUE TO THE
SOUTH WIND FLOW AND THE COLD FRONT MOVING DOWN THE STATE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.

&&

.MARINE...THE WINDS WILL MAINLY BE FROM THE SOUTH THIS MEMORIAL
DAY WEEKEND BEFORE SWINGING TO A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THE WIND SPEED WILL ALSO REMAIN
BELOW 10 KNOTS THIS WEEKEND BEFORE INCREASING TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. SO THE SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 5 FEET
FOR THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND FOR ALL OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATERS.

HOWEVER...BUOY 10 EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WAS REPORTING 5 FEET WITH A
PERIOD OF 8 SECONDS DUE TO SOME SMALL NORTHEAST SWELLS COMING FROM
THE CUT OFF LOW OVER THE MID ATLANTIC WATERS. THESE SWELLS WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE PALM BEACH WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD GET INTO THE PALM BEACH WATERS BY LATE
TONIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS SHOULD NOT REALLY AFFECT THE
SEA HEIGHTS MUCH...BUT COULD ALLOW FOR SOME RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE
PALM BEACH COASTLINE FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SO STAY TUNED FOR
LATER INFORMATION ON THE RIP CURRENTS POTENTIAL FOR THE BEACHES OF
PALM BEACH COUNTY THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...NO PROBLEMS WITH THE FIRE WEATHER AS THE RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES.
