.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 429 AM EDT MON OCT 29 2012/

DISCUSSION...
..ROUGH MARINE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO MID-WEEK...
..MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES TO START THE WEEK...

AS HURRICANE SANDY CONTINUES TO TREK TO THE NORTH AND AFFECT THE NEW
ENGLAND STATES...DRY AND MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO FILTER
ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. THE COOLEST TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES TODAY AND TUESDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOW TO MID
70S AREA WIDE WHICH IS A GOOD 10-15 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE. LOW
TEMPERATURES TUESDAY MORNING SHOULD NOT GET OUT OF THE 50S WITH
WIDESPREAD 40S ACROSS NORTHERN INTERIOR AREAS WHICH CORRESPONDS TO
NEARLY 20 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND BY MID-WEEK AND PERSIST THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK AS A MORE WESTERLY TO WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW RETURNS
WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO.
THIS HIGH WILL ALSO ALLOW A SLIGHT INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
TO ENTER THE AREA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY BUT SHOULD NOT BRING ANY
REAL THREAT FOR RAIN. LONG RANG MODELS INDICATE A DRY FRONT
SLIDING THROUGH THE REGION BY FRIDAY BRINGING A FURTHER DRY
PATTERN INTO SOUTH FLORIDA.

EVEN THOUGH SANDY IS GONE...ITS IMPACTS ON THE MARINE AND IMMEDIATE
COASTAL AREAS WILL STILL BE FELT THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE
WEEK. LONG PERIOD NORTHERLY SWELLS WILL YIELD SEAS IN THE 10-13
FOOT RANGE ALONG MAINLY THE PALM BEACH COUNTY COAST THROUGH THE
DAY WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER AMOUNTS FURTHER SOUTH. SEAS WILL BEGIN TO
SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH MIDWEEK. WILL KEEP THE COASTAL FLOOD
WARNING AND HIGH SURF ADVISORY ACTIVE THROUGH THE MORNING AND
WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT ASSESS TO SEE IF IT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED.

MARINE...
WINDS WILL REMAIN NORTHWESTERLY TRANSITIONING TO MORE WESTERLY
OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS WHILE REMAINING AROUND 20 KNOTS WITH HIGHER
GUSTS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND GULF WATERS. THIS WILL KEEP HIGH
SEAS AT 10-13 FEET TODAY GRADUALLY DIMINISHING TO LESS THAN 10
FEET BY TUESDAY AND TAPERING CONSIDERABLY BY MIDWEEK.

FIRE WEATHER...
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OVER NORTHERN INTERIOR AREAS SHOULD BE
JUST ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. THEREFORE WILL CANCEL THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH AND FORGO A RED FLAG WARNING. RH LEVELS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE A BIT LESS BY TUESDAY ACROSS THE SAME AREAS SO
DECIDED TO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR GLADES AND HENDRY
COUNTIES LATE MORNING TUESDAY THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. EVEN
THOUGH ERC VALUES DO NOT LOOK TO BE HIGH ENOUGH...THE COMBINATION
OF LOW RH AND DECENT 20 FOOT WINDS ARE CAUSE FOR CONCERN.
