309 PM EST MON NOV 4 2013

...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR ATLANTIC AND BISCAYNE BAY WATERS TONIGHT...
...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR EAST COASTAL AREAS TONIGHT...

.SHORT TERM...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES WILL
REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY...AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE
REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE CARIBBEAN SEA. THIS WILL ALLOW
FOR THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN AND ALLOW FOR THE
WIND SPEEDS TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
THE WIND SPEEDS OVER THE EAST COAST COULD EVEN GET INTO THE 25 TO
30 MPH, WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH DURING THIS TIME. THEREFORE...A
WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE EAST COAST OF SOUTH FLORIDA
FOR TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.

WITH THE VERY STRONG WINDS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING...SCATTERED SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE
ATLANTIC WATERS AND WORK INTO THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS BEFORE
SLOWLY DISSIPATING OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST METRO AREAS.
THEREFORE...THE POPS WILL BE RAISED INTO THE SCATTERED COVERAGE
OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS AND INTO THE ISOLATED COVERAGE
OVER REST OF SOUTH FLORIDA FOR TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

THERE COULD ALSO BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS
TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY...DUE TO THE WARM GULF STREAM AND THE
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THEREFORE...THUNDER WORDING WILL BE ADDED FOR
THE ATLANTIC WATERS FOR TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL THEN START TO RELAX OVER SOUTH FLORIDA
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...AS THE HIGH BEGINS TO SLOWLY WEAKEN
OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...AND THE WEAK LOW MOVES WEST
TOWARDS THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE EAST
NORTHEAST WINDS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TO SLOWLY RELAX TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY....AND ALLOW FOR THE SHOWERS TO SLOWLY DIMINISH
OVER THE AREA. SO WILL SHOW A DECREASE IN POPS AND WIND SPEEDS
OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...
THE LONG RANGE MODELS ARE STILL SHOWING THE HIGH OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES TO WEAKEN WHILE MOVING EAST INTO THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS BY THE WEEKEND. THIS IN TURN WILL ALLOW
FOR A COLD FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES TO MOVE SOUTHEAST
AND STALL OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA BY THE WEEKEND. SO THE WIND FLOW
WILL REMAIN EASTERLY THIS WEEKEND...BUT WITH SPEEDS AT 10 MPH OR
LESS. THERE COULD STILL BE A FEW SHOWERS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THIS
WEEKEND DUE TO THE NEAR-BY COLD FRONT. THEREFORE...THE SLIGHT
CHANCE OF POPS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA FOR THIS
WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WINDS OVER THE ATLANTIC AND BISCAYNE BAY WATERS WILL CONTINUE
INCREASE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS WITH GUSTS
UP TO AT LEAST 35 KNOTS. SO WILL BE UPGRADING THE SCA TO A GALE
WARNING FOR THE ATLANTIC AND BISCAYNE BAY WATERS FOR TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING. REST OF SOUTH FLORIDA WATERS WILL SEE WINDS IN
THE 20 TO 25 KNOTS RANGE WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS. SO
WILL KEEP A SCA UP FOR REST OF SOUTH FLORIDA WATERS FOR TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY WITH SAYING SOME GUSTS TO GALE FORCE.

THE SEAS WILL ALSO BE 9 TO 12 FEET IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS TONIGHT
WITH THE GULF WATERS BEING 2 TO 4 FEET NEAR-SHORE TO 5 TO 7 FEET
OFFSHORE.

THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE RIP CURRENTS
AND MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE EAST COAST BEACHES OF SOUTH
FLORIDA TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. SO WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT OF HIGH
RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AND THE COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT FOR THE EAST
COAST BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH TUESDAY.
