AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
402 AM EDT WED MAR 13 2013

...MUCH DRIER AND COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED LATE THIS WEEK OVER
SOUTH FLORIDA...
...HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY EAST COAST BEACHES...

.SHORT TERM...
A COLD FRONT OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWARD
INTO THE FLORIDA KEYS TODAY...AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN
FLORIDA MOVES SOUTH AND THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA. THE FRONT OVER
NORTHERN FLORIDA WILL BE A DRY FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.
SO THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN DRY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA FOR TODAY. THE
NORTHERLY WIND FLOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
OVER SOUTH FLORIDA...AS THE SECOND COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE SOUTH INTO THE FLORIDA KEYS AND FLORIDA STRAITS WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF COAST STATES FROM THE
NORTH. SO THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN DRY FOR TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
OVER SOUTH FLORIDA.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE 40S TO LOWER 50S, EXCEPT FOR
LOWER TO MID 50S EAST COAST METRO AREAS AND AROUND 40 WEST OF
LAKE OKEECHOBEE. HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER 70S EXCEPT
AROUND 70 ALONG THE METRO AREAS.

THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE COLDEST NIGHT OVER SOUTH FLORIDA...AS
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF COAST STATES MOVES EAST AND
INTO THE FLORIDA PENINSULA ALLOWING FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING
TO SET UP OVER THE AREA. LOWS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE
LOWER TO MID 40S OVER MOST OF THE CWA...EXCEPT FOR UPPER 40S TO
LOWER 50S OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS AND MID TO UPPER 30S
WEST OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE. THESE TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOUT
10 DEGREES COOLER THAN AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR FOR SOUTH
FLORIDA.

THE SHORT TERM MODELS ARE ALSO SHOWING ABOUT A 10 TO 20 PERCENT
CHANCE OF SEEING SOME FROST OVER WESTERN GLADES AND WESTERN HENDRY
COUNTIES FOR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. AT
THIS TIME...WILL NOT MENTION ANY FROST IN THE FORECAST DUE TO THE
LOW PROBABILITIES. HOWEVER...IF THE PROBABILITIES OF FROST
INCREASE IN LATER FORECAST THEN FROST WORDING WILL MORE LIKELY BE
ADDED TO THESE AREAS.

.LONG TERM...
THE HIGH OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA LATE THIS WEEK WILL MOVE EAST
INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
THE STEERING FLOW TO BECOME MORE EASTERLY IN DIRECTION OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA WHICH IN TURN WILL ALLOW FOR A WARMING TREND TO SET UP.
THE WEATHER WILL STILL REMAIN DRY OVER THE AREA THIS WEEKEND...AS
THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN VERY STABLE. SO THE ONLY CHANGE WILL BE
MAKING THE SKIES PARTLY CLOUDY THIS WEEKEND INSTEAD OF MOSTLY CLEAR.

THE WIND FLOW WILL REMAIN IN A SOUTHEAST DIRECTION FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK OVER SOUTH FLORIDA...AS THE HIGH WILL REMAIN NEARLY
STATIONARY OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
THE CONTINUATION OF A WARMING TREND OVER THE AREA ALONG WITH DRY
WEATHER FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THE NORTHERLY SWELL WILL CONTINUE OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS TODAY
INTO TONIGHT AT 2 TO 4 FEET...BEFORE SLOWLY DECREASING TO 2 FEET
OR LESS BY FRIDAY. THE WINDS WILL ALSO BE INCREASING TO AROUND 20
KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE NORTH...BEFORE CONTINUING TO
INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS BY TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE
SEAS IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS TO INCREASE 5 TO 7 FEET BY THIS
AFTERNOON BEFORE INCREASING TO 6 TO 8 FEET TONIGHT. FOR THE GULF
SIDE...THE SEAS WILL ALSO BE INCREASING 2 TO 4 FEET NEAR-SHORE UP
TO 7 FEET OFFSHORE BY THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE INCREASING TO 3 TO 5
FEET NEAR-SHORE UP TO 8 FEET OFFSHORE BY TONIGHT. SO WILL CONTINUE
THE SCA FOR THE ATLANTIC WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A SCA BEING
ISSUED FOR REST OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT. THE
HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL ALSO CONTINUE FOR THE ATLANTIC
WATERS THROUGH THIS EVENING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ABLE TO FALL 20S TO
LOWER 30S OVER MOST OF SOUTH FLORIDA...EXCEPT FOR THE EAST COASTAL
AREAS WHERE THEY WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. AT THE SAME
TIME...THE 20 FOOT WINDS WILL BE AROUND 20 MPH TODAY. THE ENERGY
RELEASE COMPONENT WILL ALSO BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S OVER
MOST OF THE AREA TODAY...EXCEPT FOR MIAMI-DADE AND MAINLAND MONROE
COUNTIES WHERE IT WILL BE IN THE MID 20S. SO A RED FLAG WARNING
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MOST OF SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY...EXCEPT FOR
MIAMI-DADE AND MAINLAND MONROE COUNTIES ALONG WITH THE COASTAL
AREAS OF PALM BEACH AND BROWARD COUNTIES.

THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ON THURSDAY WILL ONCE AGAIN INTO THE 20S
TO LOWER 30S FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE ENERGY RELEASE COMPONENT WILL
ALSO BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S FOR THURSDAY. HOWEVER...THE
20 FOOT WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN TODAY. SO WILL HOLD
OFF ON A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTH
FLORIDA FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND LET THE DAY SHIFT TAKE A CLOSER
LOOK A THE 20 FOOT WINDS FOR THURSDAY TO SEE IF A WATCH WILL BE
NEEDED FOR NOT.
