Area forecast discussion, Aug 2, 2:10 PM EDT, 4 hours 58 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
210 PM EDT FRI AUG 2 2013

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-SUNDAY NIGHT)...
THE WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WHICH IS THE REMNANTS OF DORIAN
CONTINUES OFF THE EAST FLORIDA COAST DRIFTING VERY SLOWLY TO THE
NORTH SNEAKING ITS WAY THROUGH A WEAKNESS IN THE MID LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. GLOBAL MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT IN LIFTING IT
SLOWLY NORTH TONIGHT AND THEN A GRADUAL SHIFT TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST
ON SATURDAY AS IT GETS PICKED UP BY A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING ONTO
THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THE DIFFERENCE IN OPINION IS ON JUST HOW THIS
WILL IMPACT THE WEATHER PARAMETERS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA ESPECIALLY
INTO LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION
SHORT TERM MODELS ARE PERSISTENT IN DEVELOPING CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON AFTER 18Z. HOWEVER, THUS FAR THE WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES AS SHOWN IN THE 12Z MFL SOUNDING HAVE HAMPERED THIS
DEVELOPMENT. SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR ANY CHANGES NEEDED TO
BE MADE. DUE TO DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SEA BREEZES AND CONVECTION
MOVING ALONG THE EASTERN SIDE OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE GETTING CLOSE TO
OUR NORTHEAST ZONES, WILL CONTINUE WITH THE HIGH END POPS FOR NOW.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC
OVER THE WEEKEND AS A DEEPENING TROUGH CONTINUES TO EVOLVE OVER THE
EASTERN U.S. WHILE MAINTAINING THE WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS WILL ALSO MAINTAIN A DEEP TROPICAL AIRMASS
ACROSS THE REGION WITHOUT A SYNOPTIC SYSTEM TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE
AREA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW PWAT CONTINUING TO HOVER AROUND THE 2
INCH MARK. A SURFACE RIDGE WILL ALSO BE STRETCHED ACROSS THE FLORIDA
STRAITS THIS WEEKEND AND THIS WILL RESULT IN A WEAK SOUTHWEST TO
WEST STEERING FLOW FOR SOUTH FLORIDA SO THE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION
WILL BE NEAR AVERAGES FOR EARLY AUGUST WITH THE GREATEST THREAT
BEING THE INTERIOR AND EAST COAST METRO AREAS.

.LONG TERM (MONDAY-FRIDAY)...
LOOKING INTO THE MIDDLE TO THE END OF THE WEEK, THE MID LEVEL
RIDGE WILL BUILD BACK IN ACROSS THE AREA WITH AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW
POP AVERAGES FOR EARLY AUGUST. HOWEVER, BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF
HAVE BEEN SHOWING A MID LEVEL INVERTED TROUGH ROTATING WEST BELOW
THE RIDGE AXIS AND THE LATEST RUN SHOWS IT A LITTLE STRONGER
REVERTING SOUTH FLORIDA BACK TO DEEP EASTERLY FLOW BY WEDNESDAY
INTO THE END OF THE WEEK. SO FOR NOW, WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW A
BROAD BRUSH CHANCE POP FORECAST FOR THE MAINLAND BUT IT COULD END
UP WITH HIGHER CHANCES FOR THE INTERIOR AND SOUTHWEST COAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM
DORIAN  CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWARD WITH THE BEST COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA.
ALTHOUGH A LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE
REGION...AN EASTERLY SEA BREEZE IS BEGINNING TO FORM ACROSS THE
EASTERN COASTAL ZONE. THIS COULD CREATE A CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE
COASTAL ZONE WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY FORMING AT THE
TERMINAL LOCATIONS. THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL ALSO ESTABLISH
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY OF TERMINAL KAPF. WITH ANY
SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS AT THE TERMINALS SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...
A RATHER TRANQUIL MARINE FORECAST WITH THE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
CONTINUING TO MOVE NORTH OF THE LOCAL WATERS OVER THE WEEKEND.
STILL, THERE COULD BE LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS NEAR STRONGER STORMS THAT
MAY MOVE OFF THE MAINLAND.
