AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
839 PM EDT TUE MAR 27 2012

.UPDATE...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE FROM ABOUT NAPLES EASTWARD TO FORT
LAUDERDALE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWEST INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO
OVERNIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN OVER THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DRIER AIR OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS TO WORK INTO THE CWA TONIGHT...AND BRING
AND END TO THE SHOWERS OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA BY
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THE WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE TO BREEZY
CONDITIONS OVER THE EAST COASTAL AREAS TONIGHT AND ALL OF SOUTH
FLORIDA WATERS.

THE HIGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES ON WEDNESDAY
ALLOWING FOR BREEZY CONDITIONS OVER THE CWA ALONG WITH DRY
WEATHER. THERE COULD STILL BE A FEW SHOWERS OVER THE WESTERN AREAS
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THE COVERAGE AND AMOUNT WILL BE LIGHT.
SO HAVE LOWER THE POPS TO 10 PERCENT OVER THE WESTERN AREAS OF THE
CWA AND REMOVE THE POPS FOR THE EASTERN AREAS FOR WEDNESDAY.

THERE WILL ALSO BE A NORTHEAST SWELL OF 2 TO 3 FEET WORKING INTO
THE PALM BEACH WATERS ON WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH THE BREEZY EASTERLY
WINDS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE SEAS TO BUILD TO 5 TO 7 FEET IN
THE PALM BEACH WATERS FOR WEDNESDAY. SO WILL HAVE A HEADLINE FOR
POSSIBLE SCA CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY FOR THE PALM BEACH WATERS IN
THE EVENING UPDATE MARINE PACKAGE. THE SCEC CONDITIONS WILL ALSO
CONTINUE FOR ALL OF THE CWA WATERS FOR TONIGHT FOR THE WIND
SPEEDS.

REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKS GOOD AT THIS TIME AND NO OTHER CHANGES
ARE PLANNED.

AVIATION...THRU. 00Z THURS.
MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH LIGHT TO
MODERATE EASTERLY WINDS CONTINUING. WILL ONLY SLIGHT DROP OFF THE
WINDS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD FOR THE EAST COAST SITES...THEN
INCLUDE 18-22 KT GUSTS BEGINNING LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON PERIOD (SIMILAR TO TODAY). THE BEST CHANCE FOR A BRIEF

DISCUSSION...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. AND
INTO THE REGION INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND WITH MAINLY TRANQUIL
WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND LIKELY INTO THE WEEKEND.
HOWEVER...PATCHES OF MOISTURE AND CLOUDINESS EMBEDDED IN THE
PREVAILING EASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PASS ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC WATERS WITH MAINLY ISOLATED SHOWERS POSSIBLE. IN
ADDITION ON WEDNESDAY THE AFTERNOON EAST AND WEST COAST SEA
BREEZES IN COMBINATION WITH AVAILABLE MOISTURE COULD PRODUCE A FEW
SHOWERS ACROSS THE PENINSULA. AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT STARTS TO
RELAX ACROSS THE REGION ON THURSDAY WINDS WILL DECREASE ACROSS THE
AREA AND ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHTER THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ALSO EXPECTED TO INCREASE A BIT LATER IN THE
WEEK AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

MARINE...

EASTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SLOWLY INCREASE ACROSS REGIONAL
WATERS TO THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE OVER NIGHT WITH A SLOW BUT
STEADY INCREASE IN THE LOCAL GULF AND ATLANTIC SEAS. A PRE-
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT WILL LIKELY BE NECESSARY FOR THE LOCAL
ATLANTIC WATERS OVER NIGHT. A SMALL LONG PERIOD NORTHEAST SWELL IS
FORECAST TO ENTER THE LOCAL ATLANTIC WATERS ON WEDNESDAY MORNING
WITH THE GREATEST IMPACTS TO THE WATERS EAST OF PALM BEACH COUNTY.
GULF STREAM SEAS ARE FORECAST TO REACH ADVISORY LEVELS LATER ON
WEDNESDAY WITH A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LIKELY NECESSARY.

FIRE WEATHER...

NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ALTHOUGH THE MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
COULD REACH NEAR THE UPPER THIRTIES FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE
NORTHWEST INTERIOR AND INTERIOR COLLIER COUNTY ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
