Area forecast discussion, Oct 5, 2:20 PM EDT, 3 hours 54 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
220 PM EDT FRI OCT 5 2012

.DISCUSSION

THE WEAK FRONT THAT IS FORECAST TO AFFECT SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY THIS
COMING WEEK IS CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO
NORTH TEXAS.

BETWEEN NOW AND SUNDAY EVENING...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
FORECAST FOR SOUTH FLORIDA, ESPECIALLY OVER THE INTERIOR AND
WESTERN SECTIONS. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN UNCHANGED. A
FEW AREAS OF PATCHY FOG ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF
COLLIER, GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES TONIGHT.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO PASS OVER
SOUTH FLORIDA MONDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...THE BOUNDARY IS VERY DIFFUSE
AND THERE WILL BE A GRADUAL INCREASE OF NE WINDS THROUGHOUT MONDAY
WITH NO DEFINITE TIME. THE PASSAGE OF THE NE WINDS OVER THE WARM
WATERS OF THE GULF STREAM WILL NOT ALLOW FOR ANY NOTICEABLE DECREASE
IN TEMPERATURES. THE ONLY AREA THAT COULD SEE A FEW DEGREES COOLER
FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE IMMEDIATE COAST OF PALM BEACH. IN
THE INTERIOR VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE IS EXPECTED. A
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
US BEHIND THE FRONT AND LIFT NORTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

FOR TEMPERATURES USED A BIAS CORRECTED CONSENSUS MOS APPROACH
BETWEEN NOW AND SUNDAY. FOR MONDAY TOOK A LITTLE BIT INTO ACCOUNT
THE CONSENSUS RAW MODELS OVER PALM BEACH COUNTY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
EFFECT OF THE NE FLOW.

BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
EASTERN US CLEARS THE EAST COAST AND A RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER
THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES
ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA.

&&

.MARINE...

BETWEEN NOW AND SUNDAY EXPECT BENIGN MARINE CONDITIONS WITH SEAS OF
1 TO 2 FEET OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS. SEAS
OF 1 FOOT ARE EXPECTED OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO.

SEAS OF 2 TO 4 FEET ARE EXPECTED OVER THE EAST COAST COASTAL
WATERS FROM MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE 3 TO 4 FEET SEAS ARE
EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE PALM BEACH
COASTAL WATERS. A GRADUAL DECREASE IN SEAS IS FORECAST FOR THE
WORK WEEK. A 1 TO 2 FEET SWELL IS FORECAST FOR MOST OF THE
ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS EXCEPT THE EXTREME SE. THE WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE ON MONDAY REACHING A MAXIMUM OF 15 KNOTS OVER
THE ATLANTIC AND GULF COASTAL WATERS BY MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. A SECONDARY SURGE WITH WINDS UP TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS IS
POSSIBLE BEGINNING ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (ISSUED AT 137 PM EDT FRI OCT 5 2012)

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF
PERIOD. A FEW SHOWERS WILL REMAIN NEAR THE EAST COAST TAF SITES
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE GULF COAST SEA BREEZE WILL PUSH
INLAND TOWARDS KAPF AROUND 20Z...AND TSRA IS EXPECTED TO FOCUS
NEAR THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY. SO HAVE VCTS FOR KAPF FROM 20Z TO
00Z. VARIABLE TO LIGHT E/ENE WINDS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT...THEN
BECOME EAST 8-10 KNOTS AFTER 14Z. THE GULF COAST SEA BREEZE MAY
DEVELOP EARLIER THAN TODAY...AROUND 17-18Z...DUE TO THE LIGHTER
OVERALL FLOW. A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN AT THE
EAST COAST TAF SITES ON SATURDAY...WITH THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY
ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND TOWARDS THE GULF COAST NEAR/AFTER THE END
OF THE TAF PERIOD.

.FIRE WEATHER...

NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. THE LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITIES STAY
ABOVE 45 PERCENT FOR GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES.
