AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
415 PM EDT THU MAY 24 2012

.DISCUSSION...A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPED JUST OFF
MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA EARLIER TODAY. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL
OCCURRED OVER BISCAYNE BAY AND THE ATLANTIC WATERS, ALTHOUGH SOME
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ALSO AFFECTED PORTIONS OF THE MIAMI-FORT
LAUDERDALE METRO AREA. MINOR STREET FLOODING WAS REPORTED, BUT NO
MAJOR FLOOD REPORTS WERE RECEIVED. GALE TO EVEN STORM FORCE WIND
GUSTS WERE OBSERVED AT A FEW LOCATIONS ALONG COASTAL MIAMI DADE
AND BROWARD COUNTIES. WHILE THE STRONGEST WINDS HAVE LIKELY
PUSHED JUST EAST OF OUR ATLANTIC WATERS, SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS
MAY STILL OCCUR, ESPECIALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. MOST OF
GUIDANCE MOVES THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE NORTHEAST AND NEAR
GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND TONIGHT.

THE GREATEST MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON THE
NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THIS DEVELOPING LOW CENTER WITH
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL REMAINING OVER THE ATLANTIC AND BAHAMAS.
SUBSIDENCE WILL LIMIT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY, BUT EASTERLY FLOW AND
HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATERS WILL RESULT IN AT LEAST A FEW SHOWERS
TONIGHT.

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE PUSHING NORTHEAST AND COME
TO A POSITION OFF THE CAROLINA COAST BY LATE FRIDAY, PERHAPS
SLOWLY STRENGTHENING ALONG ITS PATH AS UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS
BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. AS A DIFFUSE EAST COAST
SEA BREEZE ATTEMPTS TO MOVE INLAND AND THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE
ALSO DEVELOPS, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND PERSIST THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OFF THE NORTHEAST U.S. COAST, THE LOW
PRESSURE AREA WILL LIKELY RETROGRADE TO THE WEST OR SOUTHWEST.
THIS WILL BRING SOME DEEPER MOISTURE BACK INTO THE AREA SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY, ALTHOUGH THE BEST DYNAMICS ARE PROGGED TO REMAIN TO
OUR NORTHEAST. FOR NOW, WE WILL BUMP POPS UP TO 40 PERCENT
SUNDAY.

THE GFS AND ECMWF GENERALLY SHOW THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WEAKENING AND SHIFTING INTO THE EXTREME NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO
OR FLORIDA PANHANDLE BY LATE MONDAY. WITH CONSIDERABLE MOISTURE
REMAINING OVER THE AREA, AT LEAST CHANCE POPS ARE WARRANTED
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...18Z ISSUANCE...THE MAJORITY OF THE HEAVY RAIN THAT FELL
ACROSS THE EAST COAST TERMINALS HAS PUSHED OFFSHORE. LEFT THE
VCTS IN THE TAFS AS ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS. WINDS ACROSS THE
EAST COAST TERMINALS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE EAST SOUTHEAST AT
NEAR 15 KNOTS GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS. THE WINDS AT 2000 FEET WILL BE
FROM 050 AT 45 KNOTS FOR KMIA...KOPF...AND KFLL THROUGH 00Z
TONIGHT. AS LOW PRESSURE PULLS AWAY WINDS WILL START TO SHIFT
AROUND TO THE WEST NORTHWEST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO
FRIDAY MORNING. DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION DURING THE
DAY ON FRIDAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS MAINLY ACROSS
INTERIOR AND WESTERN SECTIONS.

&&

.MARINE...GALE FORCE GUSTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE OVER THE ATLANTIC
WATERS, MAINLY THIS EVENING, AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEAST
TOWARDS THE BAHAMAS. WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE LATE TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY. WINDS MAY THEN AGAIN INCREASE LATE IN THE WEEKEND
AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...NO SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS AS RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.
