The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jun 16, 2:15 PM EDT, 1 hour 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 2:15 PM EDT, 1 hour 52 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 215 PM EDT TUE JUN 16 2009 .DISCUSSION...A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES AND GULF OF MEX. THIS WILL TEND TO RESULT IN SUBSIDENCE WHICH WILL IN TURN TEND TO LIMIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS/TSTMS AT LEAST COVERAGE WISE. SUBSIDENCE AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE WILL ALSO RESULT IN HIGH AFTERNOON TEMPS...ESPECIALLY OVER INTERIOR SECTIONS WITH HEAT INDICES REACHING 105 + EACH AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...A LOW LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL RESULT IN A LIGHT FLOW ACROSS MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. THIS WILL ALLOW SEA BREEZES TO DEVELOP ON BOTH COASTS AND THIS, COMBINED WITH DIURNAL HEATING AND ANY AVAILABLE MOISTURE MAY BE ENOUGH TO RESULT IN LOW SCATTERED COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY INLAND AREAS DURING THE AFTERNOON. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT THE UPPER RIDGE MAY WEAKEN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWING AN UPPER TROUGH TO DIG SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN SEA BOARD ALLOWING SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. && .MARINE...LIGHT TO FRESH FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE OVER ALL THE COASTAL WATERS WITH SEAS AT 2 FEET OR LESS THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
