AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
334 AM EST FRI NOV 22 2013

...DRIER WEATHER FOR FIRST HALF OF THIS WEEKEND...BEFORE INCREASED
MOISTURE ALONG WITH WINDY CONDITIONS FOR SECOND HALF OF THE
WEEKEND...

.SHORT TERM...
AN OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING EAST FROM AROUND NAPLES TO FORT
LAUDERDALE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SLOWLY SOUTH THIS MORNING AND
SHOULD BE OVER THE FLORIDA KEYS BY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL PUSH
THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE OVER SOUTHERN FLORIDA INTO THE FLORIDA KEYS
BY THIS AFTERNOON ALLOWING FOR SOME DRIER AIR TO SPREAD SOUTH INTO
THE AREA BY THE END OF THE DAY. THIS TRANSLATES TO THE BEST RAIN
CHANCES OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE LOCAL AREA THROUGH THE FIRST
HALF OF THE DAY FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL DRYING TREND FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH. BREEZY ONSHORE WINDS ALONG THE EAST COAST BEACHES WILL LEAD
TO A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY.

THE DRIER AIR WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...AS
HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVES SOUTH FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES INTO
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS. DESPITE THE DRIER CONDITIONS...A FEW
SHOWERS DEVELOPING WITHIN THE BREEZY MOIST ONSHORE FLOW OFF OF THE
ADJACENT ATLANTIC MAY CONTINUE TO GENERATE A FEW SHOWERS SPREADING
ASHORE THROUGH THIS TIME.

THE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS
THIS WEEKEND...AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST FROM THE
CENTRAL UNITED STATES AND THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR THE WIND FLOW TO BACK FROM A EASTERLY DIRECTION ON
SATURDAY TO A NORTHERLY FLOW ON SUNDAY...AS THE WINDS INCREASE FROM
10 TO 15 MPH ON SATURDAY TO WINDY CONDITIONS LATE SUNDAY. THIS FRONT
WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA ON
SATURDAY...BEFORE INCREASING TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ON SUNDAY OVER THE
EAST COAST METRO AREAS.

.LONG TERM...
THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE FLORIDA KEYS
EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST FROM THE
CENTRAL UNITED STATES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THIS WILL KEEP
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TIGHT ALLOWING FOR BREEZY
TO WINDY NORTHERLY WINDS ALONG WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS.

THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC
WATERS MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN
UNITED STATES. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT TO
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK BRINGING IN
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE TO THE AREA. ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE FORCING
WILL REMAIN NORTH OF OUR AREA...THERE IS A CHANCE OF A SQUALL LINE
DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS IT APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH
FROM WEST TO EAST. THIS FEATURE WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED OVER THE
WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK AS THIS SYSTEM EVOLVES WEST OF OUR AREA
AND CONFIDENCE IN MORE OF THE DETAILS INCREASE.

&&

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO REGENERATE
ALONG A STALLED BOUNDARY FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS BROWARD/DADE
COUNTIES...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE EAST COAST TERMINALS
SOUTH OF PBI THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. EXPECT SUB VFR CIGS/VSBYS
IN AND AROUND THE HEAVIER ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS AND SPREADS
ASHORE THROUGH THIS TIME. THE LATEST HIRES SHORT-RANGE MODEL
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THIS BOUNDARY SHIFTING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
COURSE OF THE DAY...WHICH WILL DECREASE THE RAIN CHANCES NORTH OF
MIA THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE PERIOD. WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT
OF THE ENE AND GUSTY.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WINDS WILL BE NORTHEAST TODAY AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS...BEFORE
DECREASING BELOW 15 KNOTS TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WHILE SWINGING
TO A EASTERLY DIRECTION. THE WINDS WILL THEN BACK TO A NORTHERLY
DIRECTION AND RAPIDLY INCREASING TO NEAR GALE FORCE CONDITIONS BY
SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE ATLANTIC SEAS OF 5 TO 7 FEET
TODAY TO DECREASE TO 3 TO 5 FEET FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...BEFORE RAPIDLY INCREASING TO 11 TO 13 FEET BY SUNDAY
NIGHT. FOR THE GULF SIDE...THE SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW 6 FEET TODAY
INTO SATURDAY BEFORE RAPIDLY INCREASING TO 4 TO 6 FEET NEAR-SHORE
TO 6 TO 8 FEET OFFSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT. SO WILL HAVE A SCA UP FOR
THE ATLANTIC WATERS TODAY WITH A SCEC UP FOR REST OF SOUTH FLORIDA
WATERS.

WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE WINDS AND SEAS FOR SUNDAY
AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT TO SEE IF A SCA OR EVEN A GALE WARNING
WILL BE NEEDED IN LATER FORECAST FOR ALL OF THE LOCAL WATERS.
