Area forecast discussion, Mar 29, 4:18 AM EDT, 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
418 AM EDT MON MAR 29 2010
.DISCUSSION...RATHER BUSY NIGHT WITH SCATTERED SUPER CELLS MOVING
ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE ADJACENT WATERS. STRONG SHORT WAVE
TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES THIS MORNING WITH SEVERAL
SMALLER IMPULSES MOVING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. THIS
COMBINED WITH LOW LEVEL SOUTHEAST FLOW OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS PROVIDING
PLENTY OF FUEL. AS THE TROUGH CONTINUES DIGGING, IT WILL BEGIN TO
PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT TOWARDS THE REGION AND THIS FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO THE WEST COAST NEAR NAPLES AROUND 12-13Z AND OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST AROUND 16-17Z. SO THE CONVECTION AFFECTING THE
AREA CURRENTLY WILL END BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE TROUGH
LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT, MID/UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME
NORTHWEST AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS STATES EXTENDING INTO THE GOFMEX. THE
RIDGE WILL ONLY SHIFT SLOWLY EAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY WHEN IT WILL
BE CENTERED OVER THE FL PENINSULA. THIS WILL KEEP SOUTH FLORIDA
UNDER A COOL AND DRY PATTERN FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH
TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE MARCH.
IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, A STRONG SHORT
WAVE WILL DIG INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WHICH WILL IN TURN AMPLIFY
A MID LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE FL PENINSULA SHIFTING THE SURFACE RIDGE
FARTHER EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC. THIS WILL BRING RAPIDLY MODIFYING
TEMPERATURES TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK BUT REMAINING DRY WITH
FORECAST PWAT'S REMAINING BELOW ONE INCH.
&&
.MARINE...ROUGH MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED ESPECIALLY IN THE
ATLANTIC DUE TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ALONG WITH MODERATE NORTH TO
NORTHEAST SWELLS THROUGH MID WEEK. SUBSIDING SEAS EXPECTED BY THE
END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...MUCH COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS WILL FILTER
BEHIND THE FRONT DOWN THE PENINSULA THROUGH MID WEEK. RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WILL LIKELY FALL TO AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW 35 PERCENT
TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND POSSIBLY THURSDAY AFTERNOONS. HOWEVER, THE
DURATION WILL ONLY BE FOR TWO TO THREE HOURS SO REMAIN ABOVE
WARNING CRITERIA. WITH SUCH A CLOSE CALL EACH DAY, THESE
SITUATIONS WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED SO STAY TUNED TO THE
LATER UPDATES.
