AKWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Sep 5, 2:40 PM EDT, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 2:40 PM EDT, 1 hour 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 240 PM EDT WED SEP 5 2012 ...INCREASE MOISTURE OVER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THE WEEKEND... ...WATCHING A DISTURBANCE IN NORTHERN GULF WATERS FOR THIS WEEKEND... .SHORT TERM... AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS LOCATED OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON...AS A SURFACE HIGH WAS LOCATED OVER THE BAHAMA ISLANDS. THIS WEATHER PATTERN WAS ALLOWING FOR A LIGHT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW OVER THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON...AND ALLOWING FOR BOTH THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES TO DEVELOP AND PUSH SLOWLY INLAND. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALSO DEVELOPING ALONG THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE A FEW SHOWERS WERE DEVELOPING ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG BOTH SEA BREEZES THROUGH REST OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS WHILE MOVING TO THE NORTH SLOWLY INTO THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE AND PALM BEACH COUNTY AREA. SO WILL CONTINUE 40 TO 50 PERCENT POPS OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS TAPERING DOWN TO 20 PERCENT OVER THE SOUTHERN AREAS OF THE CWA FOR REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. THE 500 MB TEMPS ARE STILL RUNNING AROUND -10C THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE CWA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME STRONG TO EVEN SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING MAINLY OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS OF THE CWA WHERE THE SEA BREEZES AND LAKE BREEZE COLLIDE. SO WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION STRONG THUNDERSTORM WORDING IN THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA FOR REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS...AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH. AT THE SAME TIME...THE DISTURBANCE OVER NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO IS FORECAST BY THE SHORT RANGE MODELS TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHWEST INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE STEERING FLOW TO BECOME SOUTHWEST OVER THE CWA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...AND FOCUS THE HIGHEST SCATTERED POPS OVER THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE AND PALM BEACH COUNTY. .LONG TERM... THE WEEKEND WEATHER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WILL DEPEND ON THE POSITION OF THE DISTURBANCE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THE LONG RANGE MODELS AT THIS TIME TAKE THE DISTURBANCE BACK TO THE EAST AND OVER NORTH OR CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND...AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST FROM THE WESTERN UNITED STATES INTO THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES. THIS WILL KEEP SOUTH FLORIDA IN A SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW...BUT DEPENDING ON THE POSITION AND THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW WILL DETERMINE ON HOW MUCH COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OVER THE CWA ALONG WITH THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS. SO AT THIS TIME WILL KEEP THE SCATTERED POPS OVER THE CWA THIS WEEKEND WITH THE HIGHEST POPS OVER THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE AND PALM BEACH COUNTY. ONCE THE DISTURBANCE MOVES EAST OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA THIS WEEKEND...A COLD FRONT IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE DOWN THE STATE AND WASH OUT OVER SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP SOUTH FLORIDA IN THE SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH SCATTERED POPS OVER THE AREA. THE BEST COVERAGE WILL AGAIN BE OVER THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE AND PALM BEACH COUNTY EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .MARINE... THE WINDS WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY BEFORE SWINGING MORE TO A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION THIS WEEKEND. THE SPEEDS WILL BE LESS THAN 5 KNOTS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BEFORE INCREASING TO AT LEAST 10 TO 15 KNOTS BY LATE THIS WEEKEND DEPENDING ON THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE DISTURBANCE IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. SMALL SWELLS OF 1 TO 2 FEET WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER INTO THE PROVIDENCE CHANNEL IN THE BAHAMAS TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THEN AS LESLIE MOVES NORTH IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS...A NORTHEAST SWELLS WILL START TO AFFECT THE PALM BEACH WATERS ON FRIDAY AND REST OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA ATLANTIC WATERS THIS WEEKEND WITH HEIGHTS BETWEEN 1 TO 3 FEET AND A PERIOD OF 12 TO 14 SECONDS. THE SEAS IN THE GULF SIDE WILL REMAIN BELOW 3 FEET REST OF THIS WEEK INTO THIS WEEKEND. THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG BOTH COASTS OF SOUTH FLORIDA WILL ALSO INCREASE INTO THIS WEEKEND....DUE TO THE NORTHEAST SWELLS IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND THE POSSIBLE INCREASE WIND SPEEDS IN THE GULF WATERS. && .FIRE WEATHER... THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE 35 PERCENT CRITICAL VALUE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. SO NO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE FIRE WEATHER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

TEMPERATURES: THE HEAT INDEX COULD REACH NEAR ONE HUNDRED DEGREES ACROSS THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE PENINSULA TODAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING PRIMARILY THE INTERIOR AND EAST CAN BE EXPECTED. THERE WILL ALSO BE AN INCREASE IN THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE EAST COAST BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THE WEEK AS SWELLS FROM TROPICAL STORM LESLIE MAY AFFECT THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
