What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 22, 8:00 PM EDT, 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 22, 8:00 PM EDT, 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT TUE JUL 22 2008

.UPDATE...NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS NOW AFFECTING INTERIOR SOUTH FL AND
WORKING INTO THE NAPLES AREA ATTM. UPDATED FCST TO REFLECT THESE
CURRENT CONDITIONS. EXPECT STORMS TO WANE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...GIVING WAY TO A TRANQUIL NIGHT OVERNIGHT. ONLY MAJOR CHANGE
TO THE FCST WAS TO INCREASE POPS DRAMATICALLY INTERIOR/GULF COAST
FOR THIS EVENING. /DG

&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT MVFR AND POSSIBLE IFR AT KAPF OVER THROUGH
02Z...SO INCLUDED TEMPO OF THESE CONDITIONS FROM00-02Z.
OTHERWISE...VFR WILL PREVAIL AT THE TERMINALS TONIGHT. COULD BE AN
ACTIVE CONVECTIVE DAY TOMORROW...BUT FOR NOW ONLY INCLUDED VCTS DUE
TO TIMING/LOCATION OF TSRA DEVELOPMENT TOMORROW.

&&

.DISCUSSION...DEEP LAYER RIDGE HAS WEAKENED ALLOWING FOR
DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS S FLA AND THIS EVIDENT ON
CONVECTION FIRING ALONG THE E CST SEA BREEZE. WITH THE WEAKENING
OF THE RIDGE ALSO COMES VERY WEAK STEERING FLOW SO CELLS MOVING
VERY LITTLE. THIS HAS ALL COME ABOUT WITH T.S. DOLLY CONTINUING TO
MOVE WELL WEST OF THE AREA AND MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW TO OUR EAST
JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE BAHAMAS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THIS
LOW QUITE WELL AND INCHING TO THE WEST TOWARDS THE FLA PENINSULA.
THE 50H TEMP SATELLITE ESTIMATES DO NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE COLD
AIR ALOFT WITH THIS LOW BUT MODELS DO SHOW SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT
FALLS AT LEAST FOR S FLA SUMMER STANDARDS. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM
HAVE THIS FEATURE MOVING OVER THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY AND AS A
RESULT MAV/MET GUIDANCE SHOW LIKELY POPS ALTHOUGH THE NAM SHOWS
WESTERLY FLOW IN THE LOWER LEVELS. THUS, IT HAS ONLY CHC POPS FOR
KAPF BUT WITH SUCH WEAK STEERING FLOW ONCE AGAIN, AM A LITTLE
RELUCTANT TO HAVE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN POPS FROM WEST TO EAST.
SSMI DERIVED PWAT ALSO SHOWS VALUES OF AROUND TWO INCHES MOVING
TOWARDS S FLA AND THE GFS DOES SHOW PWAT INCREASING TO THIS FOR
WEDNESDAY. SO PLAN TO GO CLOSER WITH THE MAV NUMBERS AS A RESULT.
THIS TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE GOFMEX BY THURSDAY WITH
DRIER AIR ALOFT MOVING BACK ACROSS THE REGION AND THUS LOWER POPS
TO SCT COVERAGE.

IN THE EXTENDED, AS TROUGH CONTINUES WESTWARD, WEAK ATLANTIC RIDGE
WILL BUILD BACK IN ACROSS S FLA AS LARGE SHORTWAVE MOVES OFF THE
NORTH ATLANTIC COAST. WITH SUCH A STRONG SHORTWAVE FOR THE END OF
JULY MOVING INTO THE EASTERN U.S., NOT A LOT OF SUBSIDENCE SHOULD BE
PRESENT EVEN WITH THE RIDGE IN PLACE AND POPS WILL BE FAIRLY CLOSE
TO CLIMO RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...LIGHT WIND EXPECTED THROUGH THE FCST PERIOD WITH SEAS
LESS THAN 4 FEET.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...NO PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED. MOISTURE
WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND EVEN THOUGH RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES ACROSS THE INTERIOR ZONES HAVE FALLEN BELOW 40 PERCENT
THIS AFTERNOON, THEY SHOULD RECOVER LATE TODAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
