AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
210 PM EDT FRI AUG 22 2008

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE PERIOD. SW WINDS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL TODAY AT
ALL TERMINALS...WITH VCTS UNTIL 00Z. AFTER 00Z FOR THE EAST COAST
TERMINALS...LIGHT WIND FROM THE SE IS EXPECTED WITH VCSH POSSIBLE.
SE FLOW WILL SPEED UP BY 15Z WITH VCTS PREVAILING. REDUCTIONS IN
VIS/CEILING BRIEF BUT SIGNIFICANT WITHIN THE TSS. FOR
KAPF...LIGHT SE WIND STARTING AT 00Z WITH VCSH. AFTER 15Z...WIND
WILL STILL COMING FROM SE BUT A LITTLE STRONGER...WITH VCSH
POSSIBLE.

/RIVERA
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1045 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2008/

HYDROLOGY...FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES IN EFFECT FOR GLADES/HENDRY
COUNTIES UNTIL 345 PM EDT. FURTHER EXTENSION IN TIME MAY BE NEEDED.
WILL SEE WITH UPDATED INFO LATER ON. RIGHT NOW VERY HEAVY RAINBAND
IS AFFECTING CHARLOTTE/LEE COUNTIES...AND THIS LOOKS TO STAY JUST
NORTH OF THE AREA...BUT WILL BE CLOSELY WATCHED. ADDITIONAL HEAVY
SHOWERS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN COLLIER...AND THESE
LIKELY WILL PUSH INTO GLADES/HENDRY. THERE DEFINITELY IS A HIGH
CONCERN FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. PUNTA GORDA HAS RECENTLY
RECORDED RAINFALL RATES OF 2-3/HR...SO THE SHRA/TSRA WILL BE
CAPABLE OF DUMPING A LOT OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHICH
WOULD AGGRAVATE THE FLOODING SITUATION. /DG

UPDATE...AGAIN MODELS ARE UNDERESTIMATING THE WINDS SPEEDS
LOCALLY. LAKE OKEECHOBEE HAS BEEN HAVING SUSTAINED WINDS OR AROUND
20 KNOTS ALL NIGHT AND MORNING LONG...AND FOWEY ROCKS HAS BEEN
RUNNING CLOSE TO 20 KT AS WELL. UPDATED THE FCST TO INCREASE WINDS
AREA WIDE...WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS OVER LAND AREAS...AND TO SCA
LEVELS OVER THE LOCAL WATERS. THE SOUTHERN LEGS OF THE WATERS WILL
MOST LIKELY BE IN THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE...BUT WITH FREQUENT
GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KNOTS...WARRANTING THE SCA. MIA SOUNDING SHOWS
STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS...WITH 24 KNOTS AT ONLY 1K FT. SO THE HEAVY
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL AGAIN BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS
OF 40 TO 50 MPH OVER LAND AND 35 TO 45 KNOTS OVER THE WATERS. THE MIA
SOUNDING SHOWED DECENT WIND SHEAR IN THE LOWEST FEW THOUSAND
FEET...BUT SURFACE WINDS HAVE VEERED NOW LIMITING THE
HELICITY...SO ONLY GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED.

REST OF FCST IS ON TRACK WITH LIKELY POPS EVERYWHERE. PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE THIS MORNING WILL ALLOW FOR HIGHER INSTABILITY THIS
AFTERNOON...SO AM EXPECTING SHRA/TSRA TO DEVELOP PROVIDING RISKS
OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS. MOST DEFINED
CONVERGENCE RAINBANDS SOUTH OF FAY ARE CURRENTLY OVER
CHARLOTTE/LEE COUNTIES AND OVER THE LOCAL ATLANTIC WATERS...BUT
WILL WATCH FOR ANY DEVELOPING LOCALLY LATER ON. UPDATES ALREADY
OUT. /DG

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 754 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2008/

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING TODAY. SW FLOW EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO S BY
14Z AT ALL TERMINALS. VCSH PREVAILING EVERYWHERE THIS MORNING
EXCEPT KAPF...WHICH HAS VCTS UNTIL 23Z. VCTS FOR THE EAST COAST
TERMINALS STARTING AT 14Z...WITH BRIEF BUT POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTION OF VIS/CEILINGS. GUSTY WIND OF 25 TO 35 KTS EXPECTED AS
TSS MOVE THROUGH TERMINALS. BY 23Z...LIGHT WINDS KEPT FROM S AND
VCSH AT ALL TERMINALS.

/RIVERA

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 321 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2008/

DISCUSSION...IN THE SHORT TERM, T.S. FAY CONTINUES TO STAGGER
WESTWARD ACROSS N FLA PUTTING OUR REGION UNDER DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY AND AS FAY MOVES
FARTHER TO THE WEST, ALBEIT AT A SNAILS PACE, DEEP LAYER RIDGE
WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO BUILD WEST FROM THE ATLANTIC. BUT UNTIL THEN,
PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL HANG AROUND WITH FCST PWATS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN ABOVE TWO INCHES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. POPS WILL REMAIN HIGH
BUT PRECIP PATTERNS WILL CHANGE SUBTLY AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE
BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA. FOR TODAY, THE CHANCES WILL BE HIGH ACROSS
ALL OF THE CWA, BUT BY SATURDAY, THE HIGHEST CHANCES WILL SHIFT TO
THE INTERIOR ZONES ALTHOUGH REMAINING LIKELY ALL AREAS BUT THEN
DECREASING SLIGHTLY TO CHANCE EAST AND WEST COAST ZONES TO LIKELY
INTERIOR REGIONS. THIS IN PART DUE TO THE FACT THAT AS FAY DOES
TRANSITION MORE WESTWARD AND THE ATLANTIC RIDGE BUILDS, WIND FLOW
DIMINISHES SUBSTANTIALLY SO GOOD SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. BY SUNDAY, EASTERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
FINALLY SETTLE IN SO MOST CONVECTION WILL TEND TO DEVELOP INLAND
AWAY FROM THE EAST COAST.

IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS, MADE NO REAL CHANGES AS MEX GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO SHOW DECREASING POP TREND SO S FLA WILL GET BACK TO
MORE CLIMO CONDITIONS.

MARINE...WIND AND SEAS HAVE BEEN ON THE DECREASE ACROSS THE S FLA
WATERS BUT A SCA REMAINS IN PLACE FOR LAKE OKEE AS WINDS CONTINUE
TO BE NEAR 20 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS. THIS ADVISORY ONLY GOES
THROUGH 4 AM AND WILL BE EXTENDING THIS BEFORE ISSUANCE OF THE CWF
TO INCLUDE THIS MORNING AS LAKE TOWERS INDICATE WINDS STILL
GUSTING WELL OVER 20 KNOTS THERE. BUT THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY ON
THE DECREASE LATER TODAY AS FAY CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS
OVER N FLA. THERE ALSO WILL CONTINUE TO BE A SCEC STATEMENT FOR
THE ATLANTIC WATERS AS SEAS SLOWLY SUBSIDE BUT REMAIN AT 6 FEET
UNTIL TONIGHT WHEN THEY WILL DROP BELOW 5 FEET AS THE WINDS
CONTINUE TO DIMINISH.

FIRE WEATHER...NO PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS.

HYDROLOGY...FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES IN EFFECT FOR GLADES/HENDRY
COUNTIES THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. THIS COULD BE EXTENDED IN TIME AS
THE SHERIFFS OFFICE IN GLADES COUNTY IS STILL REPORTING FLOODING
IN THE MUSE AREA...AND THE SHERIFF OFFICE IN HENDRY COUNTY IS
REPORTING FLOODING IN THE MONTURA AND LA BELLE AREAS. HPC QPF
GUIDANCE DOES INDICATE ONE HALF INCH TO ONE INCH AREAL COVERAGE
RAINFALL THROUGH TODAY FOR GLADES, HENDRY AND COLLIER COUNTIES AND
LESSER AMOUNTS FARTHER EAST AND SOUTH WITH ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF
INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR SATURDAY. RAINBANDS FROM THE OUTER
CIRCULATION FROM FAY CONTINUE TO AFFECT S FLA AND LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL ARE ALWAYS POSSIBLE IF ONE OF THESE BANDS SETS
UP. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD ESPECIALLY BE A PROBLEM
BY SATURDAY AS SEA BREEZE INTERACTIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP.

...FLOOD WARNING FOR GLADES/HENDRY COUNTIES THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...
...THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON...
...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS: THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. LIGHTNING, GUSTY
WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM THE
STORMS. REMEMBER THAT LIGHTNING CAN EVEN STRIKE UP TO 10 MILES
AWAY FROM A STORM, WHERE RAIN IS NOT EVEN FALLING.

FLOODING: INLAND FLOODING CONTINUES ACROSS PORTIONS OF GLADES AND
HENDRY COUNTIES, IN THE WAKE OF TROPICAL STORM FAY. SOME ROADS
CONTINUE CLOSED ACROSS THE AREA. A FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR THIS AREA THROUGH 345 PM EDT TODAY.

TORNADOES: SURFACE WINDS ARE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST ALONG THE ATLANTIC
COAST, WHILE WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE ARE FAIRLY STRONG OUT
OF THE SOUTHWEST. THIS IS CREATING A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR
THE FORMATION OF WATERSPOUTS OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS, WITH EVEN
THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF TORNADO OCCURRING ALONG THE ATLANTIC
COAST.

WIND: A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM TODAY FOR ALL
OF THE LOCAL WATERS. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH
FREQUENT GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KNOTS WILL OCCUR WITH EVEN HIGHER GUSTS
OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS EXPECTED IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS INLAND WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND
GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH.

RIP CURRENTS: SOUTHWEST WINDS IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH RANGE WILL
PERSIST ALONG THE GULF COAST TODAY, RESULTING IN A MODERATE RISK
OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE COLLIER COUNTY BEACHES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY, WITH LIGHTNING STRIKES AND GUSTY WINDS BEING THE
PRIMARY THREATS. HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO LIKELY IN SOME AREAS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY FLOODING IN GLADES AND HENDRY
COUNTIES. ALSO...REPORTS OF RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES,
WIND GUSTS OF 40 MPH OR GREATER, AND ANY FUNNEL CLOUD REPORTS
ARE ENCOURAGED.
