AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
340 AM EST TUE NOV 5 2013

...HAZARDOUS MARINE AND ATLANTIC COASTAL CONDITIONS THROUGH WED...

* HIGH SURF ADVISORY PALM BEACH COUNTY TODAY
* HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALL ATLANTIC BEACHES THROUGH WED
* MINOR TIDAL FLOODING POSSIBLE BAY SIDE OF ATLANTIC COAST

.DISCUSSION...TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES BETWEEN STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND LOWER PRESSURES OVER THE
CARIBBEAN. THIS IS RESULTING IN A WINDY E-NE FLOW ACROSS THE AREA.
THE WINDY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT, BEFORE GRADUALLY
SUBSIDING ON WEDNESDAY.

THE WIND ADVISORY WAS CANCELLED EARLIER. OBS ALONG THE ATLANTIC
COAST ARE ONLY SHOWING SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 20 MPH WITH GUST OF
25-30 MPH. THIS IS WELL BELOW OUR WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA OF
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30-39 MPH OR FREQUENT GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH
FOR A MINIMUM OF 3 CONSECUTIVE HOURS. GUIDANCE DOES SUGGEST A
SLIGHT INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS FROM AROUND SUNRISE TO NOON...BUT
SPEEDS STILL LOOK TO BE LESS THAN THE CRITERIA OVERALL. FOR THIS
REASON, THE ADVISORY WAS DROPPED. STILL...YOU WILL NEED TO HOLD
ON TO YOUR HAT TODAY!

AS HAS BEEN WELL ADVERTISED FOR DAYS...THE WINDY CONDITIONS WILL
RESULT IN ROUGH SURF AND STRONG RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE ATLANTIC
BEACHES. BASED ON SOME MARINE OBS YESTERDAY, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
BREAKING WAVE HEIGHTS ALONG THE PALM BEACHES COULD REACH OR EXCEED
10 FEET. FOR THIS REASON, WILL BE ISSUING A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR
THE PALM BEACH COAST EFFECTIVE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.
BREAKERS ALONG THE BROWARD AND MIAMI-DADE COAST ARE EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE 6-9 FT RANGE. MORNING OBS WILL HELP TO DETERMINE IF PERHAPS
THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED DOWN THE COAST, BUT
FOR NOW THE EXCESSIVELY HIGH BREAKERS ARE MOST LIKELY AT THE PALM
BEACHES. STILL, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE ON THE FLORIDA COAST...NO
ONE SHOULD BE IN THE WATER AS THE SURF WILL BE CHAOTIC AND VERY
DANGEROUS!

MINOR TIDAL FLOODING ON THE BAY SIDE OF THE BARRIER ISLANDS OF
THE ATLANTIC COAST WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE TODAY, ALTHOUGH
TIDAL DEPARTURES ARE MINIMAL WITH VIRGINIA KEY ONLY SHOWING A +3
INCH DEPARTURE. WILL CONTINUE THE COASTAL FLOOD STMT. THE MOST
LIKELY TIME FOR TIDAL FLOODING IS DURING THIS MORNING'S HIGH TIDE
BETWEEN 9-10 AM. THEREAFTER, WATER LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO SLOWLY
LOWER.

AS FAR AS RAIN POTENTIAL...THIS LOOKS RATHER LOW. ONLY ISOLATED
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE DEEPEST MOISTURE REMAINING SOUTH OF
THE AREA, SO HAVE ADJUSTED POPS DOWNWARD AND REMOVED THUNDER
MENTION. RIDGING WILL DOMINATE LOCALLY THROUGH THE WEEK WITH
SHORTWAVES DISPLACED TO OUR NORTH. A FRONT WILL DISSIPATE ACROSS
NORTH FLORIDA BY FRIDAY, BUT BOTH GFS AND ECMWF SHOW POPS IN THE
SCATTERED CATEGORY FRI-SUN. THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL BE
ALONG THE ATLANTIC DUE TO THE ONSHORE FLOW THERE. TEMPERATURES
WILL WARM ALONG WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS
WITH A RETURN OF NEAR 70F DEWPOINTS BY TOMORROW. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPS, HUMIDITY WILL PREVAIL THROUGH WEEK'S END AND INTO EARLY
NEXT AS THE THRUST OF COLD FRONTS LOOK TO REMAIN HELD NORTH OF
SOUTH FLORIDA. NEAR RECORD HIGHS ARE POSSIBLE AT NAPLES THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. RECORD LOW MAXES ARE POSSIBLE EAST COAST.

&&

.MARINE...OBS SHOW SOLID SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OCCURRING ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC WITH FOWEY ROCK, SETTLEMENT PT AND LAKE WORTH ALL SHOWING
20-25 KT SUSTAINED WINDS WITH GUSTS OF 25-30 KT. AN ASCAT PASS
LAST EVENING SHOWED MOST WIND VECTORS AT 25 KT WITH A FEW AT 30
KT. SO GALE CONDITIONS HAVE NOT TRANSPIRED AND ARE NOT FORECAST
TO DO SO. GUIDANCE INDICATES A SLIGHT INCREASE IN WIND BETWEEN
SUNRISE AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON, BUT EVEN THIS LOOKS TO FAIL TO
REACH GALE CONDITIONS. AS SUCH, THE GALE WARNING FOR THE ATLANTIC
WATERS HAS BEEN DROPPED AND WILL BE REPLACED BY A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY. A SMALL CRAFT ADV CONTINUES IN EFFECT FOR THE REST OF
THE SOUTH FL MARINE AREAS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY WED
AFTERNOON BEFORE WINDS/SEAS IMPROVE FOR LATE WEEK.
