AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
235 PM EDT MON MAY 12 2008

.DISCUSSION...
THE COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED FROM ABOUT FORT LAUDERDALE SOUTHWEST TO
EVERGLADES CITY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO PUSH
SLOWLY SOUTHEAST THROUGH REST OF THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA
THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THE SHOWERS
THAT WERE ALONG THE FRONT HAS DISSIPATED...BUT THERE COULD STILL
BE A FEW SHOWERS THAT DO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT DUE TO THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE. HOWEVER...THE CAP IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE IS STILL IN PLACE. SO HAVE REMOVE THE THUNDER WORDING
OVER THE SOUTHEAST AREAS...AND KEPT THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR
THIS AFTERNOON. FOR REST OF THE CWA...THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN DRY
THIS AFTERNOON.

ONCE THE FRONT CLEAR THE CWA THIS EVENING...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
THEN BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH FOR TONIGHT. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR THE WINDS OVER THE CWA TO BECOME NORTHWEST
TONIGHT...AND ALLOW FOR SOME OF THE SMOKE FROM THE WILDFIRE OVER
SOUTHWEST LAKE OKEECHOBEE TO WORK ITS WAY INTO THE METRO AREAS OF
BROWARD AND NORTHERN MIAMI-DADE COUNTIES. SO WILL MENTION THIS IN
THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS FOR TONIGHT.

THE HIGH WILL THEN WORK EAST INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS
TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY...AS A MID TO UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE
BUILD OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE WINDS TO BECOME
EASTERLY OVER THE CWA...BUT ALSO WILL KEEP A STRONG CAP OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA. SO WILL KEEP THE WEATHER DRY THROUGH THURSDAY OVER THE
CWA. WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO MENTION SMOKE OVER THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...DUE TO THE WILDFIRE GOING ON OVER THE
SOUTHWEST LAKE OKEECHOBEE.

.EXTENDED FORECAST...
THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL HIGH WILL BREAK DOWN LATE THIS WEEK...AS A
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A WEAK LOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY AND MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME...A WEAK COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEAK LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH THIS WEEKEND
AND INTO THE CWA EARLY NEXT WEEK. SO WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. TEMPS
WILL ALSO AGAIN GET INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S ALONG THE EAST COAST
AREAS...DUE TO THE SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW OVER SOUTH FLORIDA.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR ALL S FLA TERMINALS. A FRONTAL BDRY WILL CONTINUE MOVING S
ACROSS THE PENINSULA THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING...WITH NO PCPN
EXPECTED. THIS BDRY IS LOCATED ALONG SE COLLIER COUNTY THROUGH
BROWARD COUNTY. THE WIND SHIFT FROM SW TO NW IS EXPECTED AS THE
BDRY PASSES THROUGH THE MIAMI-DADE AND BROWARD TERMINALS WITH NO
CEILINGS OR VSBY RESTRICTIONS EXPECTED. WITH THE SHIFT...THE SMOKE
GENERATED FROM THE OKEECHOBEE WILD FIRE WILL PASS NEAR THE KFXE AND
KFLL TERMINALS...BUT RIGHT NOW...THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE THAT THIS
WILL AFFECT THE VSBY.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WINDS OVER THE ATLANTIC AND BISCAYNE BAY WATERS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN FROM THE WEST AROUND 20 KNOTS. THESE WINDS
WILL SLOWLY DECREASE TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS LATE TONIGHT FROM THE
NORTH...BEFORE CONTINUING TO SWING TO THE EAST BY WEDNESDAY. FOR
REST OF THE CWA WATERS...THE WESTERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS WILL
SLOWLY SWING TO A NORTHERLY DIRECTION LATE TONIGHT WHILE DECREASING
TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS. THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SWING TO A EASTERLY
DIRECTION BY WEDNESDAY WHILE REMAINING AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS.

THE ATLANTIC SEAS WILL BE UP TO 7 FEET IN THE GULF STREAM THIS
EVENING...BEFORE CONTINUING TO INCREASE TO 10 FEET TONIGHT.
THE GULF STREAM SEAS WILL THEN SLOWLY DECREASE TO LESS THAN 6
FEET BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...AND REMAIN BELOW 6 FEET THROUGH REST
OF THE WEEK. FOR THE REST OF CWA WATERS...THE SEAS WILL REMAIN
BELOW 6 FEET THROUGH THE WEEK. SO WILL CONTINUE THE SCA FOR THE
ATLANTIC AND BISCAYNE BAY WATERS THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR THE
WINDS AND SEAS...BEFORE ONLY HAVING A SCA FOR THE GULF STREAM
SEAS FOR LATE TONIGHT. WILL ALSO CONTINUE THE SCEC FOR REST OF THE
CWA WATERS THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR THE WINDS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE TEMPS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN IN THE UPPER 80S OVER THE
NORTHERN INTERIOR AREAS WITH DEW POINTS FALLING INTO THE LOWER
60S. THE TEMPS SHOULD CONTINUE INCREASE TO THE LOWER 90S WITH THE
DEW POINTS FALLING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 50S. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO FALL DOWN INTO THE LOWER 30S FOR COUPLE
OF HOURS THIS AFTERNOON. THE 15 FOOT WINDS WILL ALSO BE AROUND 15
MPH THIS AFTERNOON. SO WILL CONTINUE THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE
NORTHERN INTERIOR AREAS OF THE CWA UNTIL 7 PM EDT.

ON TUESDAY...THE HIGH TEMPS OVER THE NORTHERN INTERIOR AREAS WILL
GET UP TO AROUND 90 WITH DEW POINTS AROUND 50. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO FALL BELOW 35 PERCENT FOR MORE THAN 4
HOURS OVER THE NORTHERN INTERIOR AREAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SO WILL
UPGRADE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE
NORTHERN INTERIOR AREAS FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR AREAS WILL ALSO SEE THE HIGH TEMPS AROUND 90
WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER 50S. HOWEVER...THE TIME FRAME WILL
ONLY BE FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS TUESDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO THE WEST AND
EAST COAST SEA BREEZES DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON. SO WILL ISSUE
A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR AREAS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...AND LET THE NIGHT SHIFT DECIDE IF A WARNING WILL BE
NEEDED OR NOT.
