The facts

Issued: Jun 1, 2008, 7:20 PM EDT (23:20 UTC)
Expired: Jun 1, 2008, 7:45 PM EDT
In force: 25 min
Issued by: NWS Miami, FL
Area: Storm-based polygon

County Glades County, FL

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Tampa Bay, FL (KTBW), launched 12:00Z, 11.3 hours before the alert went out and 120 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 2:24 PM EDT, 4 hours 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
224 PM EDT SUN JUN 1 2008

.DISCUSSION...ALL MODEL GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN OVERALL
SYNOPTIC PATTERN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM, THAT BEING TUESDAY NIGHT.
WHILE BOTH THE GFS AND THE ECMWF FROM YESTERDAY WERE IN AGREEMENT
THROUGHOUT THE FCST CYCLE, THEY DIFFER BIG TIME BEYOND WEDNESDAY
(WHICH IS WHY YOU DO NOT DWELL TOO MUCH ON AN EXTENDED CHANGE) AND
THUS WILL NOT DIFFER MUCH FROM OUR FCST HAS FOR NOW. IN A NUT
SHELL, AS HAD BEEN ADVERTISED, GOFMEX RIDGE IS BEGINNING TO WEAKEN
ITS GRIP ON THE FLA PENINSULA AS THE CENTER SHIFTS WEST AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGS INTO THE SE STATES AND OFF THE ATLANTIC CST.
THIS ALREADY EVIDENT FROM THE 12Z MFL SOUNDING WHICH NOW SHOWS
EASTERLY FLOW ONLY UP THROUGH 15K FT VERSUS 35K AT 12Z SATURDAY.
RADAR ALSO REFLECTS THIS WITH MORE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE E CST SEA
BREEZE TODAY AND STRUGGLING TO MOVE FARTHER INLAND. THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WILL HAVE EVEN MORE OF AN INFLUENCE ON OUR WX FOR TOMORROW
AS MID LEVEL COOLING OCCURS AND SFC TEMPS REMAIN IN THE UPPER 80S
TO MID 90S ACROSS THE REGION. THE MET REFLECTS THIS WITH HIGH END
SCT POPS NOW ALONG THE E CST. BOTH THE NAM AND ECMWF THEN SHOW AS
THE TROUGH PULLS OFF TO THE EAST, THE GOFMEX RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN
ACROSS THE REGION BUT WITH THE ECMWF THE FASTEST REFLECTING THIS
CHANGE ON TUESDAY WHILE THE NAM DELAYS IT UNTIL WEDNESDAY ALTHOUGH
IT DOES SHOW ONLY LOW END SCT POPS FOR TUESDAY. FOR NOW PLAN TO
PRETTY MUCH GO WITH WHAT I INHERITED AS THE SAME TREND SEEMS TO BE
THERE.

IN THE EXTENDED, THERE HAS BEEN SOME MAJOR CHANGES AGAIN BETWEEN THE
ECMWF AND THE 06Z GFS BUT SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST FLIP, DO NOT
PLAN TO CHANGE ANYTHING. THE ECMWF NOW SHOWS AS THE RIDGE BUILDS
BACK IN IT FIRMLY HOLDS ITS GRIP AS IN THE PAST WEEK AND AS A
RESULT DOES NOT ALLOW THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE TO MOVE NORTHWARD
AND KEEPS IT OVER THE CARIBBEAN. THE 06Z GFS HOWEVER BASICALLY
SHOWS THE SAME TREND AS EARLIER RUNS IN THAT AS THE TROUGH MOVES
OUT OF THE PICTURE, RIDGING TAKES PLACE OVER THE ATLANTIC AS LARGE
SCALE TROUGHING OCCURS ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL U.S. WHICH THEN
ALLOWS THE MOISTURE TO MOVE NORTHWARD. SINCE THE GFS HAS BEEN
CONSISTENT WITH THIS SCENARIO FOR THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS, DO NOT
PLAN TO DIFFER FROM THIS AT THIS TIME.

.MARINE...LIGHT TO MODERATE E/SE FLOW AT LESS THAN 15 KT WILL KEEP

...MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ATLANTIC BEACHES TODAY...
...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE INTERIOR/GULF COAST THIS AFTERNOON...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT

RIP CURRENTS: AN ONSHORE WIND FLOW ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST,
COMBINED WITH AN EARLY AFTERNOON LOW TIDE, WILL RESULT IN A
MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE ATLANTIC BEACHES OF PALM
BEACH, BROWARD, AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTIES TODAY.

THUNDERSTORMS: AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE ALONG WITH SEA BREEZE
CONVERGENCE WILL ALLOW SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS INTERIOR AND GULF COASTAL SECTIONS OF MAINLAND
SOUTH FLORIDA. A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THESE
AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE.

WIND: THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS
OF UP TO 40 MPH.

HAIL: SMALL HAIL TO DIME SIZE IS POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON.

FLOODING: STORM MOVEMENT WILL BE RATHER SLOW THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
COULD LEAD TO MINOR STREET FLOODING OR FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED
AREAS AT ISOLATED LOCALES ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND GULF COAST.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A MIX OF SMOKE AND FOG WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE OVER THE
NEXT FEW NIGHTS ACROSS GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES. RESTRICTED
VISIBILITIES OF A QUARTER OF A MILE OR LESS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THESE AREAS.

EASTERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AHEAD, CONTINUING
THE THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE ATLANTIC BEACHES.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME EVEN A LITTLE MORE UNSTABLE ON MONDAY,
WHILE A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA DURING
THE AFTERNOON. THIS IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
MONDAY AFTERNOON, WITH THE FOCUS OF THE STORMS AGAIN BEING OVER
INTERIOR AND GULF COASTAL LOCALES. WEAK STEERING WINDS MONDAY COULD
LEAD TO MINOR URBAN FLOODING AGAIN AT ISOLATED LOCALES. FOR THE REST
OF THE WEEK, TYPICAL AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE EACH
AFTERNOON.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT WIND GUSTS OF 40 MPH OR GREATER,
ANY HAIL, AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF OVER 2 INCHES.
