AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
157 PM EDT MON MAY 29 2006

.DISCUSSION...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS SHOWING A CUTOFF UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
NORTHEAST OF THE BAHAMAS...WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
OVER THE CAROLINAS. THIS IS RESULTING IN DRIER NORTHEAST FLOW OVER
THE PENINSULA. MOST OF THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE HAS BEEN SHUNTED
SOUTHWEST WARD...WITH THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ALONG THE FLORIDA
WEST COAST SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN OVER EASTERN AREAS. VISIBLE IMAGERY
AND SURFACE DATA SHOW A WEAK TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE
PENINSULA. SEA BREEZE COVERGENCE WILL ALLOW FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION
OVER MAINLY INTERIOR AREAS THIS AFTERNOON...QUIETING DOWN THROUGH
THE EARLY EVENING. OVERNIGHT LOWS NEAR CLIMO NORMS...IN AGREEMENT
WITH GUIDANCE.

.TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WILL
FLATTEN AND SHIFT SOUTH AHEAD OF A SHORT WAVE TROUGH LIFTING OUT
INTO THE GREAT LAKES AREA...PUSHING THE CUTOFF LOW SOUTH THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. THE GFS AND NAM DISAGREE FROM HERE ON HOW TO HANDLE THE
LOW. THE GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY ERODING THE HIGH...AND OPENING UP
THE LOW AS ITS DRAWN NORTHWARD INTO THE MAIN TROUGH. THIS IN TURN
ALLOWS RIDGING IN THE LOW LEVELS TO BUILD OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
AND SOUTH FLORIDA WITH A WEAK TROUGH STALLING OVER NORTH FLORIDA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE NAM SEEMS TO KEEP ENOUGH OF THE RIDGE
INTACT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY TO HOLD THE LOW TO THE SOUTH. WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE GFS SOLUTION WITH A RIDGE BUILDING BY LATE WEEK.
EAST FLOW WILL MEAN WARMER TEMPERATURES ALONG INTERIOR AND WEST
COAST. THE EAST FLOW WILL ALSO FAVOR SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER
WESTERN INTERIOR AREAS...POSSIBLE AS FAR AS THE WEST COAST ON
THURSDAY AS THE RIDGE BUILDS IN.

FOR FRIDAY AND NEXT WEEKEND...WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE SOUTHWEST BY
FRIDAY...WARMING WEEKEND TEMPS AND FAVORING SCATTERED CONVECTION ON
THE EAST COAST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR WARM CLIMO NORMALS IN
THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S...WITH MID 90S OVER RURAL INTERIOR AREAS.

&&

.MARINE...GENERALLY LIGHT EAST FLOW INTO FRIDAY AS THE TROUGH LIFTS
OUT AND THE RIDGE BUILDS IN. WINDS WILL THEN VEER MORE SOUTHWEST AS
RIDGE AXIS SLIPS SOUTH AHEAD OF WEAK FRONT PUSHING INTO NORTH
FLORIDA...AND AS SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS OVER EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WARM TEMPERATURES OVER INTERIOR AREAS ARE THE MAIN
CONCERN WITH REGARD TO AFTERNOON RHS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
HOWEVER...SURFACE DEW POINTS SHOULD BE HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP RHS
ABOVE THRESHOLDS. LOOK FOR LIGHT EASTERLY TRANSPORT WINDS AND
AVERAGE DISPERSION VALUES.
