AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1000 AM EDT SAT APR 29 2006

.UPDATE...BREEZY CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. PATCHES
OF MOISTURE AND CLOUDINESS ARE COMING OFF THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC
WATERS AND ARE NOW OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF SOUTH FLORIDA. EMBEDDED
WITHIN THE CLOUDINESS ARE LIGHT ISOLATED SHOWERS BUT ARE MOVING
QUICKLY WITHIN THE ENHANCED LOW LEVEL FLOW...SO NO SIGNIFICANT OR
EVEN MEASURABLE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. HOWEVER SHORT TERM POPS
AND MORNING PACKAGE WERE UPDATED.

MARINE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE TODAY AND
TONIGHT. THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE IN THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE ACROSS
REGIONAL WATERS...IN ADDITIONAL LONG PERIOD NORTHEAST SWELL ARE IN
THE REGIONAL WATERS. THEREFORE...ALL PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ISSUED THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE. IN
ADDITION...AS THE LONG PERIOD SWELL CONTINUE TO ENTER THE LOCAL
ATLANTIC WATERS...A HIGH SURF ADVISORY AND A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MAY
HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED TONIGHT BUT MAINLY FOR WEST PALM BEACH
COUNTY...ESPECIALLY WITH THE HIGH TIDE TONIGHT.

FOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS...WHILE THERE IS CLOUDINESS MOVING ACROSS
THE SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA...12Z SOUNDING STILL INDICATED LOCALLY
DRY AND VERY STABLE ATMOSPHERE. THAT IN COMBINATION WITH BREEZY TO
WINDY CONDITIONS SHOULD STILL WARRANT CONTINUATION OF THE RED FLAG
WARNING FOR TODAY.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS WILL
STRENGTHEN A LITTLE BIT WHILE REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES
MOVES SLOWLY TO THE NORTHEAST INTO THE NEW ENGLAND AREA. THIS WILL
KEEP THE NORTHEAST BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS GOING OVER THE CWA
SUNDAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH ALONG THE
EAST COAST BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA.

IF THE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS STRENGTHENS
EVEN MORE THAN FORECAST...THEN THE WINDS COULD BE HIGHER THAN
FORECAST FOR THIS WEEKEND. SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE WIND
SPEEDS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND JUST ENCASE THE WINDS APPROACH THE
WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY ALONG THE EAST COAST AREAS.

THE NORTHEAST WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO BRING IN DRY AIR TO THE
AREA TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY. SO AT MOST THERE SHOULD ONLY BE SOME
CLOUDS ALONG THE EAST COAST AREAS OF THE CWA...DUE TO LITTLE BIT OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WORKING INTO THIS AREA FROM THE ATLANTIC WATERS.

THE LOW OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS WILL THEN MOVE NORTHEAST
TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES ON MONDAY. A MID TO UPPER LEVEL
SHORT WAVE OVER TEXAS WILL ALSO WEAKEN WHILE MOVING EAST AND
THROUGH THE FLORIDA PENINSULA ON MONDAY. SO THE WINDS SHOULD RELAX
OVER THE CWA ON MONDAY...AND THERE COULD BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS ON MONDAY.

.EXTENDED FORECAST...
THE SHORT WAVE WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK ALLOWING FOR HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD OVER SOUTH FLORIDA.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DRY WEATHER TO BE IN PLACE AGAIN OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA FOR MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

THE HIGH WILL THEN SINK INTO THE FLORIDA KEYS LATE NEXT WEEK...AS
THE LOW NEAR THE ATLANTIC WATERS MOVES BACK SOUTH INTO THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC WATERS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME LOW MOISTURE TO RETURN
TO THE CWA LATE NEXT WEEK...BUT AT THIS TIME ONLY GOING TO KEEP A
SLIGHT 10 PERCENT POPS OVER THE CWA AND NOT MENTION ANY RAINFALL
IN THE ZONES.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WINDS EARLY THIS MORNING HAVE BEEN FROM THE NORTHEAST AT 15 TO
20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS AT SETTLEMENT POINT AND FOWEY
ROCKS. THE WIND SPEEDS AND DIRECTION SHOULD REMAIN ABOUT CONSTANT
THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE SLOWLY DECREASING SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THE WINDS
SHOULD BE BELOW 10 KNOTS BY TUESDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER
THE AREA.

NORTHEAST SWELLS FROM THE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
WATERS WILL ALSO START TO AFFECT THE ATLANTIC WATERS TODAY. THE
SWELLS WILL BUILD UP TO 6 FEET TONIGHT...AND REMAIN AT THESE
LEVELS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY DECREASING BY MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

THEREFORE...THE SEAS IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS WILL BE BUILDING
THROUGH TODAY...AND WILL BE 6 TO 8 FEET UP TO 12 FEET IN THE GULF
STREAM BY TONIGHT. THE ATLANTIC SEAS WILL THEN REMAIN AT THESE
LEVELS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY FALLING ON MONDAY...AND
SHOULD BE BELOW 6 FEET BY TUESDAY.

THE WINDS OVER REST OF THE CWA WATERS...SHOULD BE IN THE SCEC
CONDITIONS TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE DECREASING BELOW THE SCEC
ON MONDAY. THE ONLY AREA THAT COULD SEE SCA CONDITIONS IS THE
OFFSHORE WATERS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO TONIGHT. SO WILL MENTION
POSSIBLE SCA CONDITIONS FOR THIS AREA FOR TONIGHT IN THE MARINE
FORECAST.

WITH THE NORTHEAST SWELLS AND THE BREEZY TO WINDY NORTHEAST WINDS
THIS WEEKEND...THERE WILL BE THE LIKELY HOOD OF RIP CURRENTS FOR
THE EAST COAST BEACHES. SO WILL ALSO MENTION THIS IN THE HWO
PRODUCT THIS MORNING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THE DEW POINTS EARLY THIS MORNING HAS BEEN IN THE
LOWER TO MID 50S. THESE DEW POINTS COULD FALL A LITTLE BIT LOWER
THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS OF THE
CWA...DUE TO THE MIXING OF THE DRIER AIR ALOFT. SO WITH THE WARM
TEMPS AND THE LOW DEW POINTS...THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOULD FALL
BELOW THE CRITICAL VALUES FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS OVER THIS AREA. THE 20
FOOT WINDS WILL ALSO BE CLOSE TO 15 MPH THIS AFTERNOON.
THEREFORE...HAVE ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THIS AFTERNOON FOR
THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS OF THE CWA.

THE DRY AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ON SUNDAY OVER THE CWA...DUE TO
THE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS KEEPING THE
WINDS IN A NORTHEAST DIRECTION. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE TEMPS TO
BE WARM AGAIN ON SUNDAY...AND ALLOW FOR THE DEW POINTS TO FALL
AGAIN TO AROUND 5O DEGREES. SO HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH
FOR SUNDAY FOR THE SAME AREAS THAT ARE IN THE RED FLAG WARNING
TODAY DUE TO THE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES.
