Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 1:50 PM EDT, 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
150 PM EDT FRI APR 13 2012

.AVIATION...
WEAK SURFACE TROUGH IS HELPING TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SHRAS/TSRAS
ACROSS MAINLY THE EAST COAST TERMINAL SITES. WITH WEAK MID LEVEL
FLOW THESE STORMS ARE SLOW MOVING AND WILL LINGER IN THE VICINITY
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT MAY BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS AS AN H5 SHORTWAVE OVER
THE EASTERN GULF SWEEPS BY. EASTERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE
DRAMATICALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS BETWEEN BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC AND LOWER PRESSURE ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 932 AM EDT FRI APR 13 2012/

UPDATE...
TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY SOARED INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S ALONG
THE ATLANTIC COAST AS OF 13Z. MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
THROUGH THE DAY WITH DEEPEST MOISTURE REMAINING OFFSHORE THE
ATLANTIC BEACHES. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
DAY MAINLY ALONG THE ATLANTIC COASTAL COUNTIES. A WEAK H5
SHORTWAVE WILL SWING THROUGH THE SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA LATER
TODAY FURTHER ENHANCING SHOWER CHANCES. ONGOING FORECAST LOOKS
GOOD ATTM AND NO UPDATES ARE PLANNED.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 732 AM EDT FRI APR 13 2012/

AVIATION...THRU. 12Z SATURDAY.
THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO WILL
REMAIN OVER THE EAST COAST TERMINALS AND OUT ACROSS THE ADJACENT
ATLANTIC WATERS AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES FROM
THE NORTHWEST AND A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY REMAINS NEAR/OVER THE
LOCAL AREA. CONFIDENCE OF THE EXACT TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE
SHOWER COVERAGE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO INSERT IN THIS
TAF PACKAGE AS THE RAINFALL CHANCES ONLY REMAIN IN THE 20-30 PERCENT
RANGE. WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT WITH A FEW MODERATE GUSTS THROUGH
THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON PERIOD. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE BULK OF THE PERIOD. 85/AG

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 400 AM EDT FRI APR 13 2012/

SOME RAINFALL POSSIBLE TODAY INTO SATURDAY BEFORE DRY WEATHER
RETURNS TO THE AREA FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES EARLY
THIS MORNING...WITH A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE BAHAMA
ISLANDS EXTENDING WEST INTO PALM BEACH COUNTY. THE HIGH WILL
STRENGTHEN THIS WEEKEND WHILE REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES...AS THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY
WASHES OUT OVER THE CWA. AT THE SAME TIME...A MID LEVEL SHORT
WAVE LOCATED OVER THE GULF COAST STATES WILL ALSO MOVE SOUTHEAST
AND THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA ON SATURDAY.

THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL ALLOW FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE EAST
COAST METRO AREAS TODAY WITH EVEN SCATTERED COVERAGE OVER PALM
BEACH COUNTY METRO AREA. THE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS OF THE CWA TONIGHT BEFORE
BECOMING MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE ON SATURDAY. THERE COULD EVEN BE
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY OVER THE EAST COAST
METRO AREAS...DUE TO THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA. REST OF THE CWA WILL REMAIN MOSTLY DRY TODAY INTO
TONIGHT...BEFORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ON
SATURDAY.

ONCE THE SHORT WAVE MOVES EAST OF SOUTH FLORIDA SATURDAY NIGHT...DRY
WEATHER WILL THEN RETURN TO THE AREA FOR SUNDAY. SO WILL CONTINUE
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS SATURDAY EVENING BEFORE GOING DRY FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA.

THE EASTERLY WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT AND BECOME BREEZY TO WINDY THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL LEAD TO
AN INCREASE IN THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE EAST COAST
BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY INTO THIS WEEKEND.

EXTENDED FORECAST...
THE HIGH WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
WATERS FROM THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES EARLY TO MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO RELAX OVER THE
CWA...AND ALLOW FOR THE WINDS TO BECOME MORE SOUTHEASTERLY OVER
THE CWA BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE DRY WEATHER WILL ALSO REMAIN IN
PLACE OVER THE AREA FOR EARLY TO MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK...A WEAK COLD FRONT CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER
THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST AND INTO NORTH OR CENTRAL
FLORIDA BEFORE STALLING OUT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE TO WORK BACK INTO THE CWA FOR THE END OF NEXT WEEK. SO
HAVE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR THE AREA FOR END OF NEXT
WEEK.

MARINE...
THE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE EASTERLY DIRECTION TODAY INTO THIS
WEEKEND WITH SPEEDS INCREASING TO BREEZY CONDITIONS TONIGHT BEFORE
INCREASING TO SCA CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE
SEAS IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS TO INCREASE TO AROUND 7 FEET BY
SATURDAY. FOR THE GULF SIDE...THE SEAS WILL BE REMAIN BELOW 7 FEET
TODAY INTO THIS WEEKEND. SO A SCA COULD BE ISSUED LATER TODAY OR
TONIGHT FOR MOST OR ALL OF THE LOCAL WATERS FOR THIS WEEKEND.

FIRE WEATHER...
TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN WARM UP INTO THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90
OVER GLADES...HENDRY...AND INLAND COLLIER COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON.
AT THE SAME TIME...THE GROUNDS ARE VERY DRY OVER THIS AREA. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL ONCE AGAIN ALLOW FOR THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO
FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S FOR 4 HOURS OR MORE THIS
AFTERNOON. THE ENERGY RELEASE COMPONENT IS ALSO IN THE MID 30S FOR
THESE AREAS. THEREFORE...A RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR
GLADES...HENDRY...AND INLAND COLLIER COUNTIES FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

REST OF THE CWA SHOULD SEE THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOULD REMAIN
ABOVE THE 35 PERCENT CRITICAL VALUE...BUT COULD FALL INTO THE
UPPER 30S FOR COUPLE OF HOURS THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY OVER THE
EASTERN INTERIOR AREAS OF THE CWA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THE EASTERN INTERIOR AREAS ON THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES THROUGH
TODAY TO SEE IF A SHORT FUSE RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE NEEDED.

THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ON SATURDAY WILL SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 35
PERCENT DUE TO THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE OVER THE AREA.
HOWEVER...ON SUNDAY...THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES COULD FALL BELOW 35
PERCENT OVER THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR AREAS DUE TO DRIER AIR WORKING
INTO THE AREA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST MODEL RUNS
ON THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FOR SUNDAY OVER THE CWA.
