.UPDATE...

...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL COUNTIES IN SOUTH FLORIDA
EXCEPT FOR MAINLAND MONROE COUNTY...

A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL COUNTIES IN SOUTH FLORIDA
EXCEPT FOR MAINLAND MONROE COUNTY.THE BASIS FOR THE WATCH IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AND
THE EXISTING FLOODING THAT IS TAKING PLACE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
BROWARD AND PALM BEACH COUNTIES. RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS IN THE
HEAVIEST SHOWERS COULD BE AT THE RATE OF 2 TO 4 INCHES PER
HOUR...WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH ACCUMULATIONS ALREADY RECEIVED
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1005 PM EDT FRI OCT 28 2011/

UPDATE...

THE FORECAST FOR THE REMAINING EVENING HOURS AND OVER NIGHT WAS
UPDATED TO INCLUDE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA AND ADJACENT GULF AND ATLANTIC
WATERS. IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AREAS OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS CAME INTO THE REGION FROM THE GULF WATERS AND
ACROSS THE FLORIA STRAITS. THE LINE OF CONVECTION THAT MOVED
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE STRAITS WAS GENERATED FROM OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
FROM CONVECTION THAT ORIGINATED JUST OFF THE NORTH COAST OF CUBA
AND CONTINUED PROPAGATE NORTH. THE LINE OF CONVECTION THAT ENTERED
THE GULF WATERS INDICATES LOW LEVEL AND MID LEVEL SYNOPTIC SCALE
ROTATION THAT WAS LIKELY AN AREA OF ROTATION IN THE MID LEVELS
THAT PROPAGATED NORTHEAST FROM THE OPEN GULF EARLIER IN THE
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO BRING
TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION WITH REGIONAL PWATS NEAR 2.4
INCHES. IN ADDITION THERE IS LIKELY A SHORTWAVE IN THE MID TO
UPPER LEVELS THAT IS HELPING TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION ACROSS THE
REGION. PERIODS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE WITH URBAN
TYPE FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS ISOLATED SECTIONS OF THE METRO
AREAS. AT THE MOMENT A FLOOD WATCH IS NOT BEING CONSIDERED...BUT
MAY BE CONSIDERED AS CONDITIONS WARRANT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 755 PM EDT FRI OCT 28 2011/

AVIATION...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO IMPACT SOUTH FLORIDA
TERMINALS THIS EVENING AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON
SATURDAY. THE MOST IMMEDIATE IMPACTS WILL BE FOR TERMINAL KAPF. AN
ACTIVE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS IS DEVELOPING ABOUT 20 MILES WEST OF
KAPF OVER THE GULF WATERS AND STEADILY MOVING NORTHEAST AND RECENT
RADAR RETURNS HAVE INDICATED FUNNEL CLOUDS POSSIBLE WITH THIS
ACTIVITY. ANOTHER ACTIVE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS
ACROSS THE MIDDLE KEYS AND MOVING STEADILY NORTH ALONG OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES. ALTHOUGH TIMING WILL BE TOO DIFFICULT TO
ESTIMATE...ALL SOUTH FLORIDA TERMINALS COULD HAVE BRIEF PERIODS OF
IFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. TAF'S
WILL BE AMENDED AS CONDITIONS WARRANT.

60

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 250 PM EDT FRI OCT 28 2011/

SHORT TERM...
SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION...WITH LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN NORTH OF THE REGION. MOSTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES
WERE SEEN ACROSS THE REGION. THE MID/UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION FROM
RINA WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN AND SOUTHWESTERN FLORIDA
TONIGHT DUE TO THE STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. IN ADDITION...A
COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING SOUTH ACROSS THE STATE. SO PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE GULF COAST. THE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL MAY SET UP ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTHWEST FLORIDA AND
THE NAPLES REGION OVERNIGHT BEFORE MOVING INTO THE REST OF SOUTH
FLORIDA ON SATURDAY. WIDESPREAD 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE REGION...WITH LOCALLY
HEAVIER AMOUNTS. SO PONDING ON ROADWAYS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE.

THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE FLORIDA KEYS OR
FLORIDA STRAITS SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE. SO LIGHT STRATIFORM RAIN IS POSSIBLE
SATURDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT. THE WINDS SHIFT BACK TO THE EAST
AGAIN ON SUNDAY...PUSHING MOISTURE BACK ACROSS THE REGION. MODELS
ARE SHOWING DECENT ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG THE OLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...SO EXPECT A CHANCE FOR RAIN ACROSS THE EAST COAST.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80
DEGREES.

LONG TERM...
ANOTHER ENERGY IMPULSE WILL DIG RAPIDLY SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST U.S. BY
MONDAY INDUCING A SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF IT ALLOWING THE FRONT TO
BEGIN TO DRIFT BACK NORTH ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. WL INDICATE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS MON AND MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THIS SAME SHORT
WAVE WILL FINALLY PUSH THE FRONT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY
WITH DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER CONDITIONS WED THROUGH THURSDAY. &&

AVIATION...FOR 18Z TAFS
AN ORGANIZED AREA OF RAINFALL AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO CONTINUES TO SLOWLY PUSH TOWARD THE REGION.
IN ADVANCE OF IT, SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE FORMING IN THE
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT OVER MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA. WE
EXPECT CONVECTION TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH THIS EVENING,
ALTHOUGH THE MOST WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF
UNTIL OVERNIGHT OR EARLY SATURDAY NEAR THE EAST COAST. AT KAPF,
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL ARRIVE AROUND 00Z. BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. IFR CONDITIONS WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING, ALTHOUGH TIMING REMAINS
SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN. WHILE A FEW TSRA ARE EXPECTED, FOR NOW WE WILL
CARRY JUST VCSH AND A CB REMARK IN THE TAFS, GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED
COVERAGE.

MARINE...
LIGHT WINDS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT, BUT SHOULD BEGIN
VEERING TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST BY SATURDAY MORNING OUT AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONT. WILL WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND INCREASE RAPIDLY
TO ADVISORY CRITERIA SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE FRNT MOVES
TROUGH. MODERATE TO STRONG NORTH/NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY.

FIRE WEATHER...
MOISTURE LEVELS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS THROUGH
PERIOD. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT THROUGH THE DAY
ON SATURDAY ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE
REGION.
