AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
343 AM EDT TUE JUN 23 2009

...HEAT INDICES NEAR 105 ALL AREAS TODAY...
...A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE...

.DISCUSSION...IT IS A SULTRY MORNING ACROSS SOUTH FL. TEMPS ARE STEADY
IN THE LOWER 80S WITH HEAT INDICES STILL IN THE 90S DUE TO VERY
HIGH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80. PRETTY AMAZING THAT
THE HEAT INDEX RIGHT NOW AT NAPLES AND FT. LAUDERDALE IS 96.
TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE A CHALLENGE AS THE LOCAL AREA WILL STILL
REMAIN IN A HOTTER THAN NORMAL AIRMASS. HOWEVER...THE HOT DOME OF
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SW AS A TROUGH MOVES IN FROM
THE NE. THIS WILL LEAD TO COLD (RELATIVELY SPEAKING OF COURSE)
AIR ADVECTION. THIS...ALONG WITH AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS EARLY THIS
MORNING...AND THE PROSPECT FOR TSTORM DEVELOPMENT...WILL LEAD ME
TO SIDE WITH GFS/NAM GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR HIGHS THIS
AFTERNOON...DESPITE THEIR LOW BIAS OF LATE. HOWEVER...CONVECTION
LOOKS LIKELY INTERIOR/EAST COAST...SO WILL GO WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOWER 90S AREA WIDE THIS AFTERNOON. I SHOULD SAY THAT IF STORMS
HOLD OFF AND PLENTY OF SUN PREVAILS...THEN TEMPS WOULD GO SEVERAL
DEGREES HIGHER THAN FORECAST.

HEAT INDICES WILL REACH NEAR 105 TODAY...BUT DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE
A HEAT ADVISORY DUE TO EXPECTED BORDERLINE CONDITIONS AND THE
EXPECTATION OF QUITE A BIT OF SHOWER/TSTORM ACTIVITY WHICH WOULD
LEAD TO A QUICK REPRIEVE IN THE HIGH HEAT INDICES.

CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN VERY UNSTABLE TODAY. CONVECTION
OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN IS SENDING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ONSHORE THE
ATLANTIC COAST. THESE BOUNDARIES...AND AN INCOMING SURFACE TROUGH
FROM THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVING
SOUTH...IS EXPECTED TO LEAD SCT-NUM TSTORMS TODAY...WITH THE FOCUS
INTERIOR/EAST COAST. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW HIGH CAPE OF AROUND
4000 J/KG AND LIS AROUND -8C WITH PWATS AOA 2 INCHES. GIVEN
THIS...A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING
THE PRIMARY RISK. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ACCOMPANY THE STORMS
TODAY AS WELL...BUT THEY WILL BE ON THE MOVE SO WILL JUST HAVE TO
KEEP ANY EYE ON WHERE ANY STORMS TRAIN.

THE TROUGH AND DEEP MOISTURE LOOKS TO SLOWLY SHIFT SOUTH TONIGHT TO
THE FAR SOUTHERN PENINSULA WITH SIGNIFICANT DRYING OCCURRING FROM
EAST CENTRAL FL TO THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE-PALM BEACH REGION.
HOWEVER...THE MOISTURE LOOKS TO QUICKLY MAKE A COME BACK AS GFS
SHOWS A MID LEVEL LOW CLOSING OFF JUST TO OUR WEST. GIVEN
THIS...TRENDED POPS DOWN FROM THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE-PALM BEACH REGION
FOR WED WITH HIGHEST POPS TO THE SOUTH. KEPT HIGH END CHANCE POPS
FOR ALL AREAS FOR THU. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO COOL WITH HIGHS EVEN
A DEGREE OR TWO BELOW AVERAGE. RATHER HIGH HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE
THOUGH...NO SURPRISE FOR A SOUTH FL SUMMER.

GFS SHOWS THE SURFACE ATLANTIC RIDGE OVER THE FL STRAITS
FRI...LIFTING NORTH INTO CENTRAL FL SAT BEFORE SHIFTING BACK SOUTH
OF THE LOCAL AREA SUN THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK AS
ANOTHER MID LEVEL TROUGH DIVES SOUTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.
KEPT WITH PREVAILING CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST. THE
OVERALL PATTERN CONTINUES TO FAVOR A FOCUS OF SHOWERS/STORMS
INTERIOR/EAST COAST. NAPLES SURE COULD USE MORE RAIN AS THE RAINFALL
DEFICIT THERE IS NEARING A FOOT FOR THE YEAR.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS ARE BLOWING HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE SO INCREASED
WINDS FOR THIS MORNING...INTO THE 15-20 KT RANGE FOR BISCAYNE BAY
AND THE ATLANTIC WATERS. OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL PEVAIL AT 15 KT OR
LESS WITH SEAS 4 FT OR LESS THROUGH THE PERIOD. OF
COURSE...STRONGER WINDS AND HIGHER SEAS WILL BE FOUND IN/NEAR
STORMS.

.FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS.
