AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
402 AM EST SUN FEB 17 2013

.DISCUSSION...
DEEP MID LEVEL TROUGH COVERS EASTERN NORTH AMERICA AND WILL BE
LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AT THE
SURFACE, CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR THE
MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND WILL SHIFT EAST AND WILL BE LOCATED
OVER NORTH FLORIDA TONIGHT. THIS WILL CONTINUE BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. HOWEVER,
SINCE BEING AT THE FORECASTER'S DESK SINCE THE START OF THE SHIFT
MY CONFIDENCE LEVEL AS DIMINISHED SUBSTANTIALLY. TEMPERATURES ARE
NOT DROPPING LIKE MODELS HAD SUGGESTED EARLIER AND WILL BE
CANCELLING THE FREEZE WATCH FOR GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES.
TEMPERATURES THERE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY IN THE MID 40S AND HAVE
LOWERED ONLY A FEW DEGREES SINCE MIDNIGHT AND CANNOT ENVISION
ANOTHER 12-14 DEGREES LOWER IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS UNTIL SUNRISE.
THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS ALSO QUESTIONABLE BUT WILL LEAVE THAT
GOING SINCE THE WIND IS NEAR THE FORECAST OVER MOST AREAS AND
WHILE WIND CHILL VALUES MIGHT NOT QUITE BE VERIFYING, IT IS STILL
COLD TO THE STANDARD SOUTH FLORIDA RESIDENT. THE TEMPERATURES ARE
NOT FALLING MOSTLY DUE TO THE WIND STAYING ELEVATED OVER THE
INTERIOR AND THEREFORE TOO MUCH MIXING COUNTERACTING THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION. THIS CAA WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY AND TEMPERATURES
ARE STILL EXPECTED TO STRUGGLE REACHING NEAR 60 DEGREES THIS
AFTERNOON. COLDEST MAXIMUM RECORD TEMPERATURES RUN IN THE MID TO
UPPER 50S TODAY SO MOST STATIONS WILL PROBABLY NOT BREAK RECORDS. THAT
BEING SAID, THE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTING TO NORTH FLORIDA TONIGHT
WILL ALLOW THE GRADIENT TO RELAX AND WITH COOL AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES GOING UNDER A CLEAR NIGHT SKY AND DRY GROUND THE
MODEL CONSENSUS CONTINUES TO SHOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES ACROSS
GLADES AND HENDRY COUNTIES. THIS IS MORE BELIEVABLE DUE TO THE
ABOVE REASONINGS.

THE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC EARLY NEXT
WEEK WHILE SOUTH FLORIDA UNDERGOES A RETURN TO ZONAL MID LEVEL
FLOW. SEVERAL MID LEVEL TROUGHS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
STATES THROUGH THE WEEK AND ONE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
INTO NORTH OR POSSIBLE CENTRAL FLORIDA AROUND MID WEEK. HOWEVER,
ZONAL FLOW WILL NOT ALLOW THE FRONT TO MAKE IT THIS FAR SOUTH
BEFORE BECOMING DIFFUSE AND DISSIPATING. SO A RETURN TO WELL ABOVE
LATE FEBRUARY TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED BY LATE IN THE WEEK
ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT ALONG THE EAST COAST.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG NORTHWEST WIND CONTINUES OVER ALL SOUTH FLORIDA WATERS THIS
MORNING IN THE RANGE OF AROUND 25-30 KNOTS. IN FACT, NEAR GALE
FORCE WINDS HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED BY SATELLITE OFF THE PALM BEACH
COAST. AS THE GRADIENT SLACKENS TONIGHT AND MONDAY, WIND AND SEAS
WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A COOL AND VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA
TODAY ALLOWING FOR RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO FALL WELL BELOW 35
PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON. THIS COULD BE CLOSE TO RED FLAG CONDITIONS
BUT ERC ALL ALSO WELL BELOW 35. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE 20 FOOT
WINDS COULD REACH 15 MPH OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREA BUT IT
WILL BE ONLY IN ISOLATED LOCATIONS IT IS BELIEVED AND AM NOT
CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY OCCUR. SO HAVE OPTED NOT TO ADVISE
BUT THERE COULD BE A SHORT FUSED WARNING PLACED IN EFFECT THIS
AFTERNOON IF IT HAPPENS TO MATERIALIZE.
