AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
231 PM EDT THU JUL 6 2006

.DISCUSSION...A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW ALONG WITH UPPER LOW JUST TO
OUR WEST HAS RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND
STORMS ACROSS SOUTH FL. STORM SPOTTER IN WEST BOYNTON BEACH
RECORDED ONE INCH OF RAIN IN JUST 13 MINS RECENTLY THESE LOCALLY VERY
HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON...AS
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY NOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE SW COAST MOVES NNE.

ACTIVITY MAY HANG ON MORE THAN USUAL TONIGHT...DUE TO THE
INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER LOW. SO WILL CONTINUE WITH A FCST OF
SCATTERED ACTIVITY THIS EVENING...DIMINISHING TO ISOLATED ALL
AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

ATLANTIC SURFACE RIDGE NUDGES NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA ON
FRIDAY. AT THE SAME TIME...A WEAKENING COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY
SOUTHWARD INTO NORTH FLORIDA. THIS WILL CONTINUE A MEAN FLOW OUT
OF THE SOUTH. SOUTH FL REMAINS IN A VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT
TOMORROW...WITH WEAK SE FLOW AT THE SURFACE (THOUGH INCREASING
WITH THE ADVENT OF AN EAST COAST SEA BREEZE IN THE AFTERNOON)
ALONG WITH SW FLOW AT LOW/MID LEVELS. SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIGGING
INTO THE SE STATES WILL HAVE MOST INFLUENCE NORTH OF THE LOCAL
AREA...BUT EVEN SO...BELIEVE AMPLE INSTABILITY AND SEA BREEZE
CONVERGENCE WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS
ESPECIALLY INTERIOR AND EAST COAST METRO AREAS. WILL POST HIGHEST
POPS PALM BEACH COUNTY (LIKELY) FOR FRIDAY...WITH SCATTERED POPS
ELSEWHERE.

THE COLD FRONT REALLY DOES NOT LOOK TO MAKE IT INTO THE
LOCAL AREA...STALLING AND WASHING OUT NORTH OF THE LAKE THIS
WEEKEND...AS RIDGE STAYS IN PLACE LOCALLY. SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA
WILL AFFECT THE AREA MAINLY EACH AFTERNOON OVER THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND.

ATLANTIC RIDGE MOVES NORTH OF FLORIDA NEXT WEEK...KEEPING LOCAL
AREA IN A PREVAILING EASTERLY WIND FLOW REGIME. THE LAST 3 RUNS OF
THE GFS SHOW THE TROPICAL WAVE NOW AT AROUND 42 WEST MOVING
STEADILY WNW OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...REACHING THE LOCAL AREA NEXT
WEDNESDAY WITH SHARP CURVATURE AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE/CONVECTION EAST
OF THE WAVE AXIS THEN. FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN NEAR CLIMO POPS...BUT
THIS MAY NEED TO BE INCREASED AS TIME GOES ON.
