AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
209 PM EDT MON APR 1 2013

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...
THE THREAT FOR A FEW STRONG TO EVEN SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT APPROACH AND MOVE INTO THE AREA.
THE LATEST HIRES NUMERICAL CAM GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE
MAINLY ISOLATED/SCT ACTIVITY DEVELOPING ALONG AND OVER THE
SOUTHEAST FLORIDA METRO/COASTAL LOCATIONS THROUGH THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON TODAY. THIS IS MAINLY DUE TO ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL
CONVERGENCE BETWEEN WESTERLY FLOW AND THE EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE/OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER CONVECTION OFF THE COAST ALONG WITH
MODERATE INSTABILITY AND 30-35 KT 0-6KM SHEAR. BASED ON THE LATEST
TRENDS AND OBSERVATIONS...IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE BULK OF THE
AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL REMAIN FROM MIAMI-DADE TO BOCA RATON AS
THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW APPEARS TO BE TOO STRONG FARTHER NORTH
ACROSS PALM BEACH COUNTY FOR THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE TO SETUP.
THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP COULD BE WIND
GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH...HAIL AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THIS THREAT
WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH THROUGH THE MID TO LATE EVENING HOURS. THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO PUSH THROUGH LATER TONIGHT WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW AND DRIER CONDITIONS FOLLOWING ITS PASSAGE INTO
TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN AROUND AND SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL IN THE WAKE OF THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH THE MID-WEEK
PERIOD AS THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW QUICKLY VEERS AROUND TO THE EAST
THROUGH THE MID-WEEK.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY-WEEKEND)...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN GULF
AND MOVE OVER THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING. A
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM. MODELS
ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE STRENGTH, POSITION, AND TIMING
OF THIS SYSTEM. GIVEN THIS, HAVE A HIGH CHC POP IN THE FORECAST FOR
FRIDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ONCE AGAIN.
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE MUCH COOLER, ONLY A FEW DEGREES. THIS HIGH
PRESSURE WILL LAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST.

&&

.MARINE...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AND MOVE THROUGH THE MARINE
AREA TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT WITH MODERATE SOUTHERLY WINDS
CONTINUING OUT AHEAD OF IT. IN ADDITION TO THE WINDS...SOME STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS
EVENING...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE EAST COAST LOCATIONS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS TODAY. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST LATER TONIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...THEN GRADUALLY
SHIFT TO THE EAST LATER TUESDAY THROUGH THE MID-WEEK PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ALTHOUGH SOME DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY...THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL QUICKLY VEER BACK TO THE ENE
THROUGH THE MID-WEEK PERIOD...WHICH WILL KEEP RH'S ABOVE CRITICAL
LEVELS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
