..NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTERIOR-EAST COAST
METRO AREAS WITH ISOLATED STRONG-SEVERE TSTORMS POSSIBLE...

UPDATE...SOME MAJOR UPDATES TO THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. THUNDERSTORMS
OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA LAST NIGHT MADE THEIR WAY INTO SOUTH FL EARLY
THIS MORNING AND ARE NOW FOCUSED OVER SE BROWARD AND NORTHERN
MIAMI-DADE. DRIER AIR HAS MOVED INTO OUR NORTHERN AREAS BEHIND
THE STORMS WITH DEWPOINTS RANGING FROM THE MID 60S FROM NAPLES TO
WEST PALM AND AS HIGH AS 75F IN MIAMI-DADE THIS MORNING. THIS
BOUNDARY WILL COME TO A HALT AND MAY EVEN BACK UP. SEA BREEZES
WILL DEVELOP AS SOME SUNSHINE SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO SOAR TO AROUND
90F.

THE MIAMI SOUNDING IS MOIST WITH A PWAT OF 1.79 INCHES. IT'S
UNSTABLE AS WELL WITH MODIFIED CAPE AROUND 3200 J/KG, LI AROUND
-10C, STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ABOVE A SMALL CAP (WHICH SHOULD
BREAK) AT AROUND 10K FT. ALL OF THIS SPELLS AN ACTIVE WEATHER DAY.
HRRR SHOWS NUMEROUS-WIDESPREAD CONVECTION INTERIOR-EAST
COAST...AND WITH THE SOUNDING SHOWING A PREVAILING SW STEERING
FLOW (FCST TO BECOME NW IN THE AFTERNOON), WE ARE BUYING INTO THE
HRRR SOLUTION. GIVEN THIS, HAVE DRASTICALLY INCREASED POPS
INTERIOR-EAST COAST METRO.

AN INCOMING SHORTWAVE OVER THE GULF, ALONG WITH BEING IN THE
RIGHT REAR QUAD OF A JET, COMBINED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED
INSTABILITY, COULD LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW SEVERE
TSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON, CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO AROUND
60 MPH, HAIL TO QUARTER SIZE AND HEAVY RAINFALL WITH STREET
FLOODING POSSIBLE. WE ALSO CANNOT RULE OUT A BRIEF TORNADO WITH
ANY STORMS WHICH INTERACT ON THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. ALL OF
THIS POTENTIAL WAS ADDRESSED IN THE UPDATED HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK AND IS IN LINE WITH SPC (DEPICTING 5% SEVERE PROB'S) IN
THEIR MORNING UPDATE (INDEPENDENTLY HAVING THE SAME THOUGHTS AS
OUR ANALYSIS THIS MORNING). /GREGORIA

AVIATION...
FOR THE SHORT TERM...TERMINAL KPBI MAY BE IMPACTED BY SHOWERS AROUND
12Z TO 13Z TIME FRAME WITH PERIODS OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
WITH VERY BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS ALSO POSSIBLE

WITH THE ON-SET OF THE WEST AND EAST COAST SEA BREEZES AROUND 15-16Z
TODAY, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
BUT MAINLY INTERIOR. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MAINLY EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE EAST
COAST TERMINALS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY MORE IN THE INTERIOR...I.E.
TERMINALS KTMB...KOPF AND KMIA WITH VCTS ASSIGNED AT 16Z. WITH ANY
SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS BRIEF PERIODS OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH VERY BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS ALSO POSSIBLE.

AVIATION...54/BNB

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 433 AM EDT MON APR 15 2013/

DISCUSSION...
CURRENT RADAR SHOWING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS MOST OF SOUTH FLORIDA NORTH OF I75. THIS IS DUE TO 500MB SHORT
WAVE AND A SFC LOW THAT JUST DEVELOPED AND MOVED ACROSS THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA. THERE IS ALSO AN UPPER LEVEL JET MOVING OVER
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE SUNSHINE STATE THIS MORNING. THESE
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING, ALTHOUGH
THERE MAY BE A PERIOD OF TIME THAT DEVELOPMENT RELAXES AS THE LOW
DEPARTS THE AREA. THEN, THIS AFTERNOON, THE SEA BREEZE KICKS IN
AND SOME AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN.
MESOSCALE MODELS ARE INDICATING THE MAIN ACTIVITY WILL BE IN THE
EASTERN HAVE OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL A
CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT ANYWHERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

AS FOR THE CATALYSTS FOR THIS AFTERNOONS DEVELOPMENT, FIRST, THERE
WILL BE 500MB VORTICITY ADVECTION OVER MOST OF THE AREA. LI'S
WILL, OF COURSE, BE NEGATIVE, AROUND -7. BOTH THE GFS AND THE NAM
ARE GIVING PLENTY OF CAPE, WITH GFS OVER 1100 JOULES AND THE NAME
OVER 1500 JOULES. BUFKIT LAPS RATES ARE NOT THE BEST IN THE UPPER
LEVELS, BUT FROM 1000-700 THEY ARE AT LEAST 7.0 C/KM. THERE IS NO
SIGNIFICANT CAP IN THE NAM SOUNDINGS EITHER. PWATS WILL BE
ADEQUATE FOR SOME HEAVY RAIN AS WELL WITH 1.75 INCHES POSSIBLE.
SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE SOMEWHAT SLOW MOVERS. THE BUFKIT MBE
VALUES ARE BORDER LINE AT 10-12 KTS. SO, HAVE PUT THE POSSIBILITY
OF SOME MINOR FLOODING IN THE HWO. THE SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS TO
BE MINIMAL AT THIS TIME, WHICH IS IN AGREEMENT WITH SPC'S
ASSESSMENT. SOME SMALL HAIL AND/OR GUSTY WINDS MAY BE POSSIBLE,
BUT, UNLESS THIS MORNINGS SOUNDING SHOW DIFFERENTLY, SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW ANY SEVERE CRITERIA.

AFTER TODAY, THINGS WILL QUIET DOWN SOME. MODELS ARE INDICATING
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE AREA, WITH ITS CENTER
TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL KEEP THE FLOW MAINLY EASTERLY THROUGH
THE WEEK. THE SEA BREEZE WILL KICK UP AGAIN TOMORROW, BUT WITH A
STRONG EASTERLY FLOW, THE GULF BREEZE WILL NOT COME TOO FAR
INLAND. HOWEVER, MODELS ARE INDICATING THAT SOME CONVECTION MAY BE
INITIATED IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
THAT MAY HAMPER MUCH OF THE DEVELOPMENT, SO ONLY HAVE SLIGHT POPS
IN AT THIS TIME.

AFTER TOMORROW, THE WEATHER QUIETS DOWN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK. THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED OFFSHORE SHOWER THAT POPS UP
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, BUT NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING
SIGNIFICANT.

TEMPERATURE WISE, THE HIGHS AND LOWS LOOK TO GO NO WHERE,
MIMICKING THE PREVIOUS DAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

FOR THE WEEKEND, ANOTHER WEAK FRONT LOOKS TO DO ALMOST THE SAME AS
THE ONE THIS WEEKEND DID. IT WILL APPROACH THE AREA OVER THE
WEEKEND, BRINGING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
FOR SATURDAY THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

FIRE WEATHER...
A DEPARTING LOW WILL TAKE THIS MORNINGS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WITH
IT, ALLOWING FOR A LULL IN ACTIVITY THIS MORNING. THEN, THE
AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE WILL KICK IN, BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON TO MOST OF SOUTH FLORIDA. THEN,
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEGINNING TONIGHT, AND WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TOMORROW IN THE WESTERN
HALF OF SOUTH FLORIDA, THE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE QUIET UNTIL THE
WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF SURFACE MOISTURE AND WIND WILL BE
BELOW THRESHOLDS TO KEEP ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LOW THIS WEEK.
THERE IS THE CHANCE FOR SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT, AND POSSIBLY
FOR THE NEXT FEW NIGHTS. ALTHOUGH, THE FORECAST DOES NOT REFLECT
THIS BEYOND TONIGHT, AS CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME.

MARINE...
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS BRINGING SHOWERS AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA THIS MORNING, IT WILL SLOWLY DEPART THE
AREA AND WEAKEN. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT SEAS
FOR TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA TONIGHT AND LAST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

AVIATION...

WITH A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
FLORIDA...LATEST GUIDANCE AND REGIONAL OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT
LOW STRATUS NEAR 1500 FT. IS POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS...STARTING AROUND 09-10Z. THERE COULD BE BRIEF PERIODS OF
IFR CEILINGS STARTING AROUND 10Z THROUGH 12Z FOR ALL TERMINALS
WITH TEMPO GROUPS INDICATING THIS POSSIBILITY. WILL AMEND AS
NECESSARY.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS: SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING OVER THE INTERIOR AND
EAST COAST METRO AREAS INCLUDING THE ADJACENT WATERS. A FEW STORMS
COULD BECOME SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING WITH GUSTY
WINDS, HAIL, AND HEAVY RAINFALL ALONG WITH A SLIGHT POTENTIAL OF

HAIL: HAIL UP TO QUARTER SIZE IS POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND EAST COAST METRO.

FLOODING: STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVING THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING WHICH COULD LEAD TO ISOLATED STREET FLOODING AND MINOR

SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE SEA BREEZES
COLLIDE OVER THE INTERIOR AND EAST COAST METRO AREAS.

RIP CURRENTS: SOUTHEAST WINDS NEAR 10 KNOTS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
WATERS WILL CREATE A SLIGHT RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE
ATLANTIC BEACHES TODAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY MAINLY
EXPECTED ALONG THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA.

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONDITIONS TO BECOME QUITE STORMY THIS
UPCOMING WEEKEND AS A TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE AREA.

A MODERATE EASTERLY FLOW THROUGH MID-WEEK WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHT
RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST BEACHES.

METRO AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY.
