AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
407 AM EST SUN NOV 24 2013

...WINDY TO VERY WINDY CONDITIONS TONIGHT EAST COAST METRO AREAS
AND LOCAL WATERS...

...HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS EAST COAST BEACHES THROUGH
EARLY THIS WEEK...

...DETERIORATING MARINE CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS WEEK...

.SHORT TERM...

A STRONG COLD FRONT OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
SOUTHWARD AND THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON. THE STRONG
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE FLORIDA KEYS TONIGHT BEFORE BECOMING
STATIONARY ON MONDAY...AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE PRESSURE MOVES EAST
FROM THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTH FLORIDA
STARTING LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY WITH WINDY TO VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS. AT THE SAME TIME...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WILL
DEVELOP OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY WITH EVEN A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EASTERN AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA. SO THE
POPS WILL BE RAISED UP TO SCATTERED TO LIKELY CONDITIONS FOR LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WITH THE BEST
COVERAGE OVER THE EASTERN AREAS. ON MONDAY...THE POPS WILL BE IN
THE CHANCE CAT OVER ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA. THE WINDY TO VERY WINDY
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR THE THREAT OF DANGEROUS RIP
CURRENTS ALONG THE EAST COAST BEACHES OF SOUTH FLORIDA THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY.

A WIND ADVISORY MAY ALSO BE NEEDED FOR THE EAST COASTAL AREAS OF
SOUTH FLORIDA TONIGHT IF THE MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS. SO WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT LOOK FURTHER
INTO THIS FOR TONIGHT.

THE STRONG HIGH WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...AS THE STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE FLORIDA KEYS
MOVES NORTHWARD THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA IN RESPOND TO LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TO SLOWLY RELAX OVER SOUTH FLORIDA AND ALLOW FOR
THE STEERING FLOW TO SWING TO A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION BY TUESDAY.
SO THE TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY KEEPING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND EVEN A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST DURING THIS TIME.

.LONG TERM...
THE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL MOVE
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES MIDDLE OF THIS
WEEK...BEFORE CONTINUING TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES LATE THIS WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR ANOTHER STRONG COLD
FRONT TO MOVE SOUTH THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA ON WEDNESDAY AND INTO
THE FLORIDA KEYS LATE THIS WEEK.

AHEAD OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT...A SQUALL LINE COULD DEVELOP IN
THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND MOVE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA SOMETIME
ON WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE FORCING WILL REMAIN NORTH OF
OUR AREA...THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS WITH THE
PASSAGE OF A SQUALL LINE THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA ON WEDNESDAY.
THIS FEATURE WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED EARLY THIS WEEK...AS THIS
SYSTEM EVOLVES WEST OF OUR AREA AND CONFIDENCE IN MORE OF THE
DETAILS INCREASE.

ONCE THE STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK...DRIER AND COOLER WEATHER WILL WORK INTO THE AREA FOR
LATE THIS WEEK. HOWEVER...THE DRY WEATHER WILL NOT LAST LONG OVER
SOUTH FLORIDA AS THE WINDS WILL QUICKLY SWING TO A EASTERLY
DIRECTION BY NEXT WEEKEND ALLOWING FOR SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO
RETURN TO THE AREA ALONG WITH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TODAY
FOLLOWED BY STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS THROUGH THE LOWER LEVELS.
GUSTS ALONG THE EAST COAST COULD REACH THE 30 KNOT RANGE
FREQUENTLY...ESPECIALLY AS SHOWERS DEVELOP AND SPREAD ASHORE. THE
BEST TIMING FOR THESE INCREASED WIND SPEEDS AND SHOWERS WILL COME
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS AND PERSIST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. CIGS/VSBYS COULD DROP INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY PERIODICALLY
AS THE SHOWERS MOVE ASHORE AND IMPACT THE TERMINALS. ALTHOUGH
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...THIS PACKAGE WILL
EXCLUDE THEM UNTIL THERE IS HIGHER CONFIDENCE.

&&

.MARINE...
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY FROM LESS THAN 10 KNOTS THIS
MORNING TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT. THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER
ALL OF THE LOCAL WATERS TONIGHT TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS WITH EVEN
FREQUENT GUSTS INTO THE GALE FORCE RANGE IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE ATLANTIC SEAS TO RAPIDLY INCREASE FROM 2
TO 4 FEET THIS MORNING TO 11 TO 15 FEET BY TONIGHT...AND THE GULF
SEAS WILL WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE FROM 1 TO 3 FEET THIS MORNING TO 4
TO 7 FEET BY TONIGHT. SO WILL PUT UP A SCA FOR ALL OF THE LOCAL
WATERS THIS AFTERNOON AND A GALE WARNING FOR THE ATLANTIC WATERS
FOR TONIGHT.

THE NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS ON MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT...DUE TO THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE AREA.
THIS WILL KEEP THE ATLANTIC SEAS AT 9 TO 11 FEET WITH THE GULF
SEAS BUILDING TO 8 FEET IN THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS. SO WILL KEEP
PUT UP A SCA FOR ALL OF THE LOCAL WATERS FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT.

THE SURF HEIGHT COULD GET UP TO 8 TO 9 FEET ALONG THE BEACHES OF
PALM BEACH COUNTY TONIGHT. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES TODAY...THEN A
HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL MORE LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE BEACHES OF
PALM BEACH COUNTY LATE TONIGHT FOR TONIGHT.
