AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
930 AM EST THU MAR 6 2008

OVER THE LONG TERM...NO CHANGE TO THE CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE. FOR
THE SHORT TERM...FORECAST FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY FOR THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF
SOUTH FLORIDA STILL LOOKS REASONABLE. AND INSPECTION OF THE 12Z
SOUNDING INDICATES THAT THE WEAK WINDS IN THE LOWER 10KFT AND THE
PRESENCE OF LOW LEVEL CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LINGERING BOUNDARY
COULD RESULT IN AN ISOLATED CHANCE OF WATER SPOUTS TODAY. IN
ADDITION THE SOUNDING AND RECENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATE THAT
SOME DRIER MID TO UPPER LEVEL AIR HAS PENETRATED THE REGION AND THIS
COULD LEAD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 TO
50 MPH WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS...BUT MAINLY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING.

60

.AVIATION...

SOME LEFTOVER MID-LEVEL CLOUDS BETWEEN 6000-8000 FEET ACROSS SOUTH
FLORIDA THIS MORNING FROM SHORTWAVE PASSING EAST OF AREA. SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS ADDITIONAL MID-LEVEL CLOUDS BACK OVER EASTERN GULF OF
MEXICO POISED TO AFFECT AREA THIS AFTERNOON. DESPITE CLOUDINESS...
WARM TEMPERATURES WILL LEAD TO SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT OVER ALL
TERMINALS BY 16Z...WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO BE QUITE ACTIVE OVER INTERIOR AND EASTERN SECTIONS
THIS AFTERNOON. BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS
OF 35 KT AND SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY WHICH COULD
LINGER INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. /MOLLEDA

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGH RESPONSIBLE FOR EVENING CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE
REGION...WITH GENERALLY QUIET WEATHER AT THIS TIME. DESPITE LIGHT
WINDS AND NEARLY SATURATED LOW-LEVEL CONDITIONS...THICK MID/HIGH
LEVEL DEBRIS CLOUD COVER HAS INHIBITED THE FORMATION OF DENSE
FOG...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR VISIBILITY TRENDS THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS. SHORT TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO POINT TOWARD ANOTHER
VERY ACTIVE DAY OF CONVECTION SHAPING UP TODAY...AS REMNANTS OF
WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MAINTAIN LIGHT GRADIENT FLOW ACROSS THE
AREA...AND GLOBAL MODELS SUGGEST THAT ANOTHER MID-LEVEL VORT MAX
EMBEDDED IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. GUIDANCE FROM THE WRF-NMM AND SREF...AS WELL AS THE
LOCAL WRF...SUGGEST THAT CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP BY EARLY
AFTERNOON ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST SEA BREEZE...WITH SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST ORIENTED STEERING FLOW WARRANTING HIGH POPS FOR EASTERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...INCLUDING THE NEAR SHORE COASTAL
WATERS. WILL INCREASE POPS INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY FOR THIS
REGION...AND FORECAST HIGH CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE...AS POTENTIAL
WILL ALSO EXIST FOR A SEA BREEZE ALONG THE GULF COAST.

IT STILL APPEARS THAT CYCLOGENESIS WILL BE UNDERWAY ALONG COASTAL
FRONT ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS THIS EVENING...IN RESPONSE TO
SHARPENING UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS TEXAS. AS THIS OCCURS...
REMNANTS OF LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SURGE RAPIDLY
NORTHWESTWARD...AND FOR THIS REASON WILL MAINTAIN HIGHEST EVENING
POPS ACROSS THE NORTH. VERY WARM AND MUGGY BUT DRY CONDITIONS ARE
STILL EXPECTED FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...AS
SOUTHEAST FLOW INCREASES DOWNSTREAM FROM INTENSIFYING GULF COAST
CYCLONE. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN ON SATURDAY
MORNING...AS A MUCH STRONGER COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER
TROUGH DIGGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. SURGES INTO THE
REGION. GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE COLD FRONT
REACHING THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES BY EARLY/MID-MORNING SATURDAY...
AND SWEEPING ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS TO ACCOMPANY THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH ACTIVITY SHIFTING OFFSHORE BY LATE
AFTERNOON. FORECASTED VALUES OF DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AND INSTABILITY
STILL APPEAR TO SUPPORT A HIGHER THREAT FOR ORGANIZED/SEVERE
CONVECTION WITH THIS SYSTEM...IF LOW-LEVEL FLOW CAN REMAIN
SUFFICIENTLY BACKED PRIOR TO FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND THIS THREAT
WILL HAVE TO BE REFINED AS THE EVENT APPROACHES.

A MIXTURE OF PACIFIC AND MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR WILL BE SPREADING
RAPIDLY OVER THE AREA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD...WITH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY MORNING POSSIBLY FALLING INTO
THE UPPER 30S ACROSS THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR COUNTIES. EXPECT VERY
PLEASANT WEATHER FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND...WITH MORE
SEASONAL TEMPERATURE/DEW POINTS EXPECTED. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
WILL SLOWLY SLIDE OFF THE EAST COAST OF THE U.S. DURING THE
REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST...WITH BROAD WEST/SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT. ASIDE FROM INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND ISOLATED EAST-
FLOW REGIME SHOWERS...QUIET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END
OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD MID LEVEL CLOUDS CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD ALL TERMINALS
EARLY THIS MORNING WITH CIGS RUNNING 8-12K FEET. DESPITE MID
CLOUDS, PATCHY FOG OR HAZE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH JUST AFTER SUNRISE.
MID CLOUDS SHOULD BREAK SOME THIS MORNING, ALLOWING HEATING AND
INITIAL LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS TO TREND TOWARDS SEA BREEZES ON BOTH
COASTS...POSSIBLY BY LATE MORNING EASTERN TERMINALS AND EARLY
AFTERNOON AT KAPF. CONVERGENCE WITH THE SEA BREEZES SHOULD ALLOW
FOR TSRA TO DEVELOP MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH ANY STORM
CAPABLE OF BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE.

&&

.MARINE...
THERE ARE NO IMMEDIATE MARINE HAZARDS ASIDE FROM THOSE ASSOCIATED
WITH THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. VERY STRONG SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS ALL COASTAL WATERS BY FRIDAY
MORNING...AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
U.S. WINDS WILL APPROACH SCA CRITERIA OVER ALL COASTAL WATERS...
WITH SEAS EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE 4-6 FOOT RANGE. WINDS WILL
REMAIN IN THE 15-20 KNOT RANGE AS THEY VEER TO SOUTHWEST AND
EVENTUALLY NORTHWEST WITH THE PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT ON
SATURDAY. EXPECT LIGHTER NORTHEAST FLOW AND GRADUALLY SUBSIDING
SEAS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MINIMUM AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REMAIN
SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO PREVENT A SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER THREAT
THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER...AN ENHANCED FIRE WEATHER THREAT
WILL LIKELY DEVELOP OVER MUCH OF SOUTH FLORIDA ON SUNDAY...AND
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR COUNTIES ONCE AGAIN ON MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT ON
SATURDAY.
