AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
140 PM EDT FRI NOV 5 2010

...COOLER AIR POURING INTO SOUTH FLORIDA IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT...

.AVIATION...VFR WILL PREVAIL WITH CONTINUED GUSTY WINDS AT 20-30 KT
UNTIL EARLY EVENING WHEN WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE. SKIES WILL
REMAIN CLEAR...THOUGH A FEW-SCT060 WILL BE SEEN AT KAPF...MAINLY
THROUGH EVENING. NW WINDS WILL PREVAIL SATURDAY AT NEAR 15KT WITH
GUSTS 20-25KT. /GREGORIA

&&

.UPDATE...
COLD FRONT HAS CLEARED THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE PENINSULA AND
EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH OF THE OUTERMOST ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS BY
AFTERNOON. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT IS
CAUSING TEMPERATURE TO STRUGGLE TO RISE THIS MORNING. LOWERED MAX
TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON BY 2-4 DEGREES TO REFLECT THIS TREND, AND
EVEN THIS MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH. SKIES WILL CLEAR THIS AFTERNOON,
EXCEPT FOR THE WESTERN THIRD OF COLLIER AND MAINLAND MONROE
COUNTIES WHERE GULF COLD AIR STRATOCUMULUS DECK WILL MOVE ONSHORE
AND CREATE VARIABLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS.

WINDS INCREASING AS EXPECTED, AND PREVIOUS WIND/SEAS FORECASTS
LOOK GOOD WITH NO MAJOR CHANGES NEEDED.

ALSO LOWERED DEW POINTS THIS AFTERNOON A FEW DEGREES FROM
PREVIOUS FORECAST TO REFLECT THE COLD AND DRY AIR ADVECTING INTO
REGION, BUT RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD STILL REMAIN ABOVE
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER VALUES. /MOLLEDA

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 735 AM EDT FRI NOV 5 2010/

AVIATION...A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO QUICKLY MOVE THROUGH THIS
MORNING WITH PERIODS OF MVFR OR EVEN IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO QUICKLY IMPROVE WITH CEILINGS LIFTING TO
AROUND 6KFT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AND THEN DISSIPATING AS
THE BOUNDARY MOVES AWAY. WINDS WILL BE NW AND GUSTY TODAY AND THEN
DECREASING TO OR A LITTLE LESS THAN 10 KTS THIS EVENING.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 507 AM EDT FRI NOV 5 2010/

THE CURRENT WATER VAPOR SATELLITE ANIMATION CONTINUES TO SHOW A
VERY AMPLIFIED MID/UPPER-LEVEL FLOW PATTERN BECOMING ESTABLISHED
ACROSS NORTH AMERICA...FEATURING A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN U.S. AND A DEEPENING CYCLONE SITUATED ACROSS THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES REGION. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN DEPICTING A
STEADY EASTWARD MOTION OF A WEAKER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH --
CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE FAR EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO -- WITH THIS
FEATURE EXPECTED TO SHIFT EAST OF THE PENINSULA THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE MORNING. AT THE SURFACE...A STRONG COLD FRONT
LOCATED ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA AS OF THIS WRITING WILL SWEEP
SOUTHWARD OVER THE FORECAST AREA AS THE MID-LEVEL WAVE MOVES
EASTWARD...AND WILL LIKELY BE LOCATED JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST
OF THE PENINSULA BY 12Z...BRINGING AN END TO RAIN CHANCES FOR ALL
BUT THE OFFSHORE ATLANTIC/GULF COASTAL WATERS. STRONG LOW-LEVEL
COLD ADVECTION WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE DAY...AS A COOL/DRY MODIFIED
CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST.
THUS...DESPITE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE...MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES FOR THE
PERIOD FROM 05/12Z-06/00Z WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S
NORTHWEST INTERIOR TO MID 70S SOUTHEAST COAST. COLD ADVECTION WILL
CONTINUE FROM TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW...AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
INCREASES BETWEEN SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION AND HURRICANE TOMAS. MODELS
INDICATE THAT LOW-LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 1335-1340
DM WEST OF THE LAKE...TO 1345-1350 ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST...
WHICH COUPLED WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID 30S/MID 40S
RESPECTIVELY... SHOULD TRANSLATE TO LOW TEMPERATURES REACHING THE
LOWER 40S NORTHWEST INTERIOR TO LOWER 50S SOUTHEAST COAST. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER ON
SATURDAY...WITH PERSISTENT COLD ADVECTION CONTINUING TO OFFSET
FULL INSOLATION. IT APPEARS AS IF LOW/MID- LEVEL FLOW WILL
GRADUALLY VEER TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY
MORNING...AS THE DEEP- LAYER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. BEGINS
TO LIFT NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS NEW ENGLAND AND A MID-LEVEL RIDGE
BECOMES ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. HOWEVER...A LAND
BREEZE WILL LIKELY FORM ONCE AGAIN ALONG BOTH COASTS...KEEPING LOW
TEMPERATURES ON THE COOL SIDE AND THE SHOWER THREAT OVER LAND TO A
MINIMUM. AS THE LAND BREEZE BREAKS ON SUNDAY MORNING...INCREASING
NORTHEAST FLOW SHOULD SUPPORT ISOLATED SHOWERS AND A HIGHER DEGREE
OF CLOUD COVER FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE PENINSULA.

IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...A GRADUAL WARMING/MOISTENING
TREND IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AS
THE BROAD SURFACE RIDGE MOVES EASTWARD INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC...
ALLOWING LOW-LEVEL FLOW TO GRADUALLY ASSUME MORE OF AN EASTERLY
COMPONENT. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS FOR THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND EAST COAST OF THE PENINSULA
THROUGH THE PERIOD. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SUGGEST THAT A SPLIT
FLOW BLOW MAY BECOME ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. AND
GULF OF MEXICO BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK...WITH THE EVOLUTION
OF THIS FEATURE POSSIBLY PLAYING A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE AMOUNT
OF SHOWER ACTIVITY THAT THE AREA WILL EXPERIENCE. WILL MAINTAIN
HIGH/LOW TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMAL VALUES FOR A
MID-AUTUMN EASTERLY FLOW REGIME.

MARINE...
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE ABRUPTLY IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY PASSING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. SUSTAINED
WIND SPEEDS OF 20-25 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY ACROSS
THE LOCAL WATERS...WITH GUSTS LIKELY APPROACHING GALE FORCE BOTH
IN THE GULF STREAM AND IN THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS. SCA HAS BEEN
EXTENDED THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING FOR ALL WATERS. CONDITIONS
SHOULD BEING TO SLOWLY IMPROVE ACROSS THE GULF MARINE ZONES
SATURDAY NIGHT...AS WINDS VEERS TO NORTH-NORTHEAST. HOWEVER...WIND
SPEEDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY IN EXCESS OF SCA
CRITERIA OVER THE LAKE/BAY/ATLANTIC THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK...AND WITH GULF STREAM SEAS EXPECTED TO ONLY SLOWLY SUBSIDE
TO 6-8 FEET THROUGH TUESDAY...SCA WILL LIKELY BE EXTENDED FOR
PORTIONS OF THE LOCAL WATERS. OTHERWISE...AN ELEVATED THREAT FOR
RIP CURRENTS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

FIRE WEATHER...
DESPITE A MUCH DRIER CANADIAN AIR MASS SPREADING SOUTHWARD ACROSS
THE REGION LATER TODAY...TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY REMAIN
SUFFICIENTLY COOL BOTH TODAY AND ON SATURDAY TO PRECLUDE FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS. DEVELOPING NORTHEAST FLOW WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
INCREASING RH VALUES FOR MOST OF THE MAINLAND THROUGH THE UPCOMING
WEEK.
