AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL

...BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND OVER SOUTH FLORIDA...
...HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS EAST COAST BEACHES THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY...
...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDES FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH AREA....

.SHORT TERM...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES ALONG WITH A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE FLORIDA KEYS WILL REMAIN NEARLY
STATIONARY TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA TO REMAIN TIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR BREEZY TO WINDY
NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE CWA.

THERE COULD ALSO BE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE EAST
COAST METRO AREAS TONIGHT WITH THE BEST COVERAGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST
PORTIONS OF THE EAST COAST DUE TO THE CLOSENESS OF THE FRONT.
A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO IS ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS OF
SOUTH FLORIDA TONIGHT...DUE TO THE WARM GULF STREAM WATERS AND
THE COOL AIR ALOFT. SO WILL KEEP THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN
THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT OVER THE EASTERN AREAS OF THE CWA ALONG
WITH THUNDER WORDING OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS. REST OF SOUTH
FLORIDA SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH TONIGHT.

THE BREEZY NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA ON
FRIDAY INTO THIS WEEKEND...AS THE HIGH MOVES SLOWLY EAST INTO THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS AND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWLY
DISSIPATES. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUATION OF A FEW
SHOWERS TO WORK INTO THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS FROM THE ATLANTIC
WATERS. SO WILL CONTINUE THE 10 TO 20 PERCENT POPS FOR THE EAST
COAST METRO AREAS FOR FRIDAY INTO THIS WEEKEND WHILE REST OF THE
CWA WILL REMAIN DRY.

.LONG TERM...
THE HIGH WILL THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS
FOR THE EARLY TO MIDDLE OF PART OF NEXT WEEK...AS ANOTHER HIGH
REBUILDS INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE CWA TO RELAX.. AND REDUCE THE THREAT
OF SHOWERS OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS EARLY TO MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. SO WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW DECREASING WINDS ALONG WITH DRIER
WEATHER OVER THE CWA FOR THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THE NORTHEAST WIND SPEEDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON
AND SHOULD BE AT LEAST 20 KNOTS BY TONIGHT OVER MOST OF THE LOCAL
WATERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS IS FOR THE
NEAR-SHORE GULF WATERS WHERE THE WIND SPEEDS WILL BE 15 TO 20
KNOTS. THE WIND SPEEDS WILL THEN SLOWLY DECREASE ON FRIDAY AND BY
THIS WEEKEND BE AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS...EXCEPT 10 TO 15 KNOTS FOR THE
NEAR-SHORE GULF WATERS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE ATLANTIC SEAS TO
BUILD TO 4 TO 6 FEET TONIGHT AND REMAIN AT 4 TO 6 FEET INTO THIS
WEEKEND. THE SEAS IN THE GULF SIDE WILL ALSO BUILD TO 2 TO 4 FEET
TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...BEFORE DECREASING TO 1 TO 3 FEET THIS
WEEKEND. SO WILL BE PUTTING UP A SCA FOR ALL OF THE LOCAL
WATERS...EXCEPT THE SCEC WILL REMAIN UP FOR THE NEAR-SHORE GULF WATERS.

THE TIDES WHERE STILL RUNNING ABOUT 0.5 FEET ABOVE THE NORMAL
LEVELS AT FOWEY ROCKS TOWERS AND LAKE WORTH PIER THIS AFTERNOON.
AT THE SAME TIME...THE FORT LAUDERDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORTS
SOME MINOR STREET FLOODING THIS MORNING DURING HIGH TIDE ALONG
A1A. SO WILL BE ISSUING A COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT FOR THIS AREA
FOR TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING FOR THE POSSIBLE MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDES.

THERE WILL ALSO BE THE THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS THIS AFTERNOON INTO
FRIDAY FOR THE EAST COAST BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA...DUE TO THE
BREEZY TO WINDY NORTHEAST TO EAST WIND FLOW.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE
35 PERCENT CRITICAL VALUE THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. SO NO PROBLEMS ARE
EXPECTED WITH THE FIRE WEATHER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND.
