AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1116 AM EDT SUN MAY 6 2007

...A FEW SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...
...DETERIORATING MARINE CONDITIONS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH LATE TONIGHT...

.UPDATE...BUSY MORNING ANALYZING CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING AND COASTAL IMPACTS TONIGHT THROUGH MID WEEK
FROM THE STRONG LOW EXPECTED TO DEVELOP/MEANDER OFF THE CAROLINAS
NEXT FEW DAYS.

FIRST TO THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL...MORNING SOUNDINGS AROUND THE
AREA WERE ANALYZED AND SHOW VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY
UPSTREAM OVER CENTRAL FL. MID LEVEL FLOW HAS STRENGTHENED SINCE
YESTERDAY WITH 0-6 KM SHEAR OVER CENTRAL FL AT 30 KT. ALSO...LAPSE
RATES ARE STEEPER THROUGHOUT...YIELDING CAPES NEAR 4000 J/KG. WITH
DECENT SHEAR...EXCELLENT CAPE...ESPECIALLY IN THE HAIL GROWTH
LAYER...THERE IS AGAIN A POTENTIAL OF SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING
ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. HAIL LOOKS TO BE THE PRIMARY
THREAT...THOUGH EVEN STRONG WINDS ARE POSSIBLE GIVEN DRY AIR
ALOFT. SPC HAS ALL OF THE FL PENINSULA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR
SEVERE STORMS TODAY. THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND ZONES WERE
UPDATED TO REFLECT THIS POTENTIAL. NAM DEVELOPS CONVECTION
OVER CENTRAL FL AND BRINGS THIS SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PENINSULA DURING THE EVENING HOURS...LOOKING LIKE IT DEVELOPS AN
MCS. CANNOT DISCOUNT THIS AS MID LEVEL FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN
SOMEWHAT WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING INTO THE AREA AROUND THE
BROADER EAST COAST TROUGH DEVELOPING. THUS...WE EXTENDED SEVERE
POTENTIAL THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
POSSIBILITY.

FOR THE MARINE FCST...UPDATED WIND/SEA GRIDS FOR THE SHORT TERM TO
INCREASE WINDS/SEAS AS MODELS CONTINUE TO POINT TO A HIGH IMPACT
COASTAL EVENT LOCALLY...AS DEEP LOW PRESSURE IS PROGGED TO REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY OFF THE CAROLINA COAST...IN A POSITION MOST
FAVORABLE FOR LARGE SWELL TO INFILTRATE OUR ATLANTIC WATERS.
THUS...HAVE INCREASED SWELL HEIGHTS WITH A MAX TO 10 FT AT THE
PALM BEACH COAST AND MAX OF 5-7 TO BROWARD AND MIAMI-DADE.
WAVEWATCH IS ACTUALLY SHOWING >5 METER SEAS ACROSS THE PALM BEACH
WATERS ON TUESDAY WE WILL TREND AS NEEDED IN LATER UPDATES. WNA
OUTPUT SHOWS LONG PERIOD AS WELL...13 SECONDS. THUS...THIS WILL
RESULT IN HIGH BREAKERS AT THE BEACHES. THE SWELL FRONT LOOKS TO
ARRIVE AT THE PALM BEACH COAST LATE AFTERNOON MONDAY THEN MOVE
DOWN THE COAST IN THE EVENING. WILL LIKELY BE PUTTING OUT A HIGH
SURF ADVISORY FOR THE PALM BEACH COAST WITH THE AFTERNOON FCST
PACKAGE TO PROVIDE A HEADS UP ON THIS IMPENDING HIGH SURF AND
POSSIBLE BEACH EROSION...AND MAY NEED TO EXPAND SOUTH BUT WILL
LOOK AT THIS WITH LATER MODEL DATA THIS AFTERNOON. DECIDED TO GO
WITH AND ORGANIZE ALL THE HEADLINES NEEDED WITH THE MORNING MARINE
UPDATE...EXPANDING THE SCA TO INCLUDE ALL LOCAL WATERS LATE
TONIGHT...THEN CONTINUE THE SCA ALL ATL WATERS/LAKE/BAY THROUGH
THE DAY TOMORROW. WINDS WILL SLACKEN TOMORROW NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY...SO DROPPED THE SCA FOR LAKE/BAY THEN...BUT TRANSITIONED
OVER TO A SCA FOR HAZ SEAS FOR ALL ATLANTIC WATERS DURING THIS
PERIOD. /GREGORIA

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 508 AM EDT SUN MAY 6 2007/

UPDATE...UPDATED TO INCLUDE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE ATLANTIC
WATERS OFF PALM BEACH COUNTY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO INCREASE THIS EVENING AND REACH SCA CRITERIA IN THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS IN THE ADVISORY AREA. THE REMAINDER OF THE COASTAL
WATERS AND LAKE OKEECHOBEE WILL SEE WINDS INCREASE INTO THE 15 TO
20 KT RANGE BY MONDAY MORNING. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY
BE NEEDED FOR MOST OF THE AREA FOR MONDAY FOR WINDS, AND WITH THE
SWELLS ENTERING THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS THE SCA THERE MAY GO
INTO MID WEEK.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 326 AM EDT SUN MAY 6 2007/

SYNOPSIS...A BLOCKING RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE CENTRAL
U.S WHILE A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES PUSHES TOWARD SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY.

DISCUSSION...A FEW SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY EVEN A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO
MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE COASTAL ATLANTIC WATERS AND ALSO ALONG THE
EAST COAST METROS TOWARD DAY BREAK THIS MORNING, BUT THEN TEND TO
DISSIPATE WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER SUNRISE. OTHERWISE, THE
DIURNAL TREND ACROSS THE MAINLAND WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BUILDING ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND PUSHING INLAND WILL LIKELY OCCUR
ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO WARM
SLIGHTLY BY AFTERNOON, BUT WITH ENOUGH SURFACE HEATING AND A
SLIGHTLY DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT OVER THE REGION, STRONG STORMS
ESPECIALLY OVER THE INTERIOR CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. BY SUNDAY
EVENING THE FORECAST BEGINS TO BECOME MORE CHALLENGING FOR
SOUTHEASTERN U.S. WITH THE FORMATION OF A 1000 TO 995 MB LOW
EXPECTED TO BEGIN DEVELOPING OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES COAST.
BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT NOW ON THE
TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THIS LOW AND ALSO ON THE ATTACHED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. FROPA IS NOW EXPECTED A LITTLE EARLIER SUNDAY NIGHT WITH
MOST OF THE RAIN AND CLOUDS EXPECTED TO MOVE OUT DURING MONDAY
MORNING, ALTHOUGH WITH THE BRISK NORTHERLY FLOW MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE EAST COAST AND COASTAL ATLANTIC MAY STILL
OCCUR. BY MONDAY SWELLS WILL LIKELY BE BEGINNING TO ENTER THE
COASTAL WATERS ESPECIALLY OFF PALM BEACH COUNTY. AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES WEST TOWARD GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE WESTERLY (ALTHOUGH THE EXACT DIRECTION
SEEMS TO SHIFT SOME WITH NEARLY EVERY SET OF MODEL RUNS). THIS WILL
CREATE AN OFFSHORE FLOW ALONG THE EAST COAST AND AID IN THE
SURFING CONDITIONS AS THE LARGE SWELLS COME ASHORE, BUT THESE
LARGE SWELL MAY ALSO CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF HIGH SURF ADVISORY
CONDITIONS BY MONDAY EVENING. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN ALONG OR NEAR THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK THIS WOULD TEND TO KEEP SOUTH FLORIDA ON THE MORE
STABLE SIDE...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED.

AVIATION...VFR ALL TERMINALS THIS MORNING. W APPROACHES TO
FLL...OPF...MIA AND TMB TERMINALS WILL HAVE CIGS AOB 1000 AS
SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES CONCENTRATING. SEA BREEZES TO DEVELOP ON THE
ATLC/GULF COASTS BY 16Z WITH THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE
INTERIOR AREAS OF MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN NEAR APF LATE AFTERNOON. APPROACHES TO
ALL TERMINALS FROM THE INTERIOR WILL BE AFFECTED. A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE INTO S FLA THIS EVENING BRINGING CEILINGS AROUND 3500 FT
TO THE E COAST TERMINALS WITH SOME SHOWERS.

MARINE...TODAY WILL BE THE MOST TRANQUIL OF MARINE CONDITIONS AS
WINDS, WIND WAVES, AND SWELLS INCREASE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THAT
WILL PASS THE AREA TONIGHT. CURRENTLY THE FORECAST CONTAINS
NORTHEASTERLY SWELLS OFF PALM BEACH COUNTY IN THE 6 TO 8 FEET
RANGE ON MONDAY EVENING AND TUESDAY BUT THIS MAY NEED TO BE
ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY (POSSIBLY UPWARD) IN FUTURE FORECAST PACKAGES
AS THE EXACT TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE LOW IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
WATERS BECOMES MORE CERTAIN. OFF BROWARD AND MIAMI DADE SWELLS
WILL BE LESS AS THE BAHAMAS BLOCK SOME OF THE ACTION. ELSEWHERE,
WINDS WILL BE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM BEHIND THE FRONT AS WIND SPEEDS
INCREASE INTO THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE MONDAY MORNING. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WORK WEEK.

FIRE WEATHER...THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE INTERIOR TODAY. STRAY LIGHTNING OUTSIDE THE RAIN SHAFT
MAY BE PROBLEMATIC, BUT RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD REMAIN
OUT OF RED FLAG CRITERIA, HOWEVER BY TUESDAY A DRIER AIRMASS WILL
BE SETTLED ACROSS THE AREA AND RH CONCERNS MAY RE MATERIALIZE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS: SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP OVER MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING. FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES WITH GUSTY WINDS, HAIL AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED. THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY
LAST INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE
REGION.

TORNADOES: A TORNADO OR TWO MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM
THAT DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY ANY STORM
THAT FORMS ALONG THE SEA BREEZES.

HAIL: STRONG INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE REGION...AND THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS MAY
PRODUCE HAIL UP TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

WIND: DUE TO RELATIVELY DRY AIR IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE...THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH.

IN ADDITION...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA
TONIGHT. AS A RESULT...NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE WITH
FREQUENT GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS AND SOME GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS. THIS
THREAT WILL BEGIN JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS LAKE OKEECHOBEE AND
THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC WATERS...AND SPREAD SOUTH THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND THE GULF WATERS BY MORNING.

FLOODING: STEERING WINDS ALOFT, THOUGH A LITTLE STRONGER TODAY, WILL
STILL ALLOW LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AT A FEW LOCATIONS, RESULTING IN
POSSIBLE PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING OR POORLY DRAINED AREAS.

WAVES: STRONG SUSTAINED NORTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH
GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS WILL INCREASE GULF STREAM SEAS TO 7 FEET OF
HIGHER BY LATE TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

NORTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS MONDAY WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF
RIP CURRENTS AT THE ATLANTIC BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA. MODERATE TO
LARGE NORTHEAST SWELLS MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE ATLANTIC WATERS WILL
ALSO KEEP THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ELEVATED FOR THE ATLANTIC BEACHES
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE SWELLS WILL ALSO INCREASE THE SEAS IN THE GULF STREAM TO 10 TO
13 FEET BY MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY, BEFORE SLOWLY SUBSIDING TO
LESS THAN 7 FEET BY LATE THIS WEEK. NEARSHORE SEAS WILL ALSO BUILD
TO 7 TO 10 FEET DURING THIS PERIOD...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE PALM
BEACH COUNTY COAST. THE SWELLS WILL ALSO INCREASE THE ROUGHNESS OF THE
SURF WITH POSSIBLE MINOR BEACH EROSION AT TIMES OF HIGH TIDE EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY OBSERVED HAIL AND GUSTY
WINDS OVER 50 MPH FROM THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
