AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
643 PM EST THU JAN 9 2014

.AVIATION...
THE WARM FRONT THAT HAS BEEN PRODUCING SCATTERED SHOWERS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH
TONIGHT. LEFT VCSH IN ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING,
HOWEVER, MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTHERN
AREAS THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY NEAR KPBI. PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP
LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AT KAPF AS ENOUGH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS
THE EVENING PROGRESSES. THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH
ON FRIDAY AND WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS ALL
TERMINALS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 246 PM EST THU JAN 9 2014/

SYNOPSIS...
RAIN CHANCES GRADUALLY DECLINE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...WITH
VERY WARM CONDITIONS PREVAILING. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ISENTROPIC LIFT AND MODEST CONVERGENCE CONTINUE TO INTERACT WITH
ABUNDANT DEEP-LAYER MOISTURE TO PRODUCE NUMEROUS SHOWERS ACROSS
MUCH OF SOUTH FLORIDA. OVERCAST CONDITIONS HAVE LIMITED
INSTABILITY THUS FAR...BUT CANT RULE OUT SOME BREAKS IN CLOUDS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...SO WILL KEEP ISOLATED THUNDER IN GRIDS NEAR
EAST COAST AND ATLANTIC WATERS. THE CLOUDINESS HAS SUPPRESSED
WARMING SOMEWHAT...KEEPING MAXIMA IN 70S MOST AREAS.

DEEPEST MOISTURE AXIS WILL INCH NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT...FOCUSING
OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA BY FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A DECLINE IN
SHOWER COVERAGE...BUT VERY MOIST AND WARM AIRMASS WILL STILL
SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWERS THROUGH FRIDAY. AS HIGH PRESSURE NEAR
THE NORTHEAST CONUS COAST DRIFTS EASTWARD...LOW-LEVEL FLOW OVER
SOUTH FLORIDA WILL TRANSITION FROM EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY...AND
DIMINISH SLIGHTLY OVER TIME.

FAVORING FOG FORMATION TONIGHT ARE NEAR-SATURATED BOUNDARY
LAYER...CALM WINDS...AND SLIGHT MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM THE
SOUTHEAST. INHIBITING FOG WILL BE NEAR-OVERCAST CONDITIONS AND
SCATTERED SHOWERS. THESE CONFLICTING FACTORS MAKES FOG FORECAST
DIFFICULT. HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP PATCHY FOG IN GRIDS MOST INLAND
AND WEST COAST AREAS LATE TONIGHT.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH SATURDAY WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL...WITH
MINIMA IN THE 60S TO LOW 70S. WITH SLIGHTLY MORE SUNSHINE
EXPECTED...MAXIMA SHOULD REACH LOW 80S MOST AREAS.

WINDS SATURDAY WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTH IN ADVANCE OF A MID-
LATITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT. THE COLD FRONT
WILL APPROACH LATE SATURDAY AND CROSS SATURDAY NIGHT. BETTER
DYNAMICS WILL RESIDE WELL NORTH OF THE AREA...BUT DIURNAL
CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA.
RIGHT NOW...TIMING OF FROPA LOOKS TO BE LATE ENOUGH OVER CENTRAL
FLORIDA SUCH THAT WEAK INSTABILITY WILL PRECLUDE MUCH IN THE WAY
OF THUNDER. LITTLE/NO COOL AIR IS EXPECTED BEHIND THIS FRONT FOR
SUNDAY.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LONG RANGE MODELS ARE STILL SHOWING ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH
SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO
THE AREA FOR MIDDLE TO END OF NEXT WEEK. THIS FRONT WILL BRING DRIER
AND COOLER WEATHER TO SOUTH FLORIDA FOR THE MIDDLE TO END OF NEXT
WEEK. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 40S EXCEPT 50S OVER THE
EAST COAST METRO AREAS.

AVIATION...
PREVAILING MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE EAST COAST TAF
SITES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE IN SHOWERS. A CONVERGENT LINE OF MODERATE SHOWERS
DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHERN BROWARD COUNTY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH. BY 19Z
IT SHOULD MOVE NORTH OF KFLL AND MOVE TO KFXE. ELSEWHERE FOR THE
EAST COAST TAF SITES...SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
INTO THE COAST. SHALLOW RAIN SHOWERS APPEAR TO HAVE MOVED INTO
KAPF...AND IFR CONDITIONS WERE OCCURRING. THESE SHOWERS WERE NOT
SHOWING UP ON THE RADAR. A SHORTWAVE WAS NOTED IN THE VISIBLE
IMAGERY JUST TO THE WEST OF NAPLES...AND THIS IS LIKELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOWER CIGS AND RAINFALL. THE WARM FRONT WAS
LOCATED ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA NEAR THE BROWARD /MIAMI- DADE
LINE...AND THIS BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY SLIDE NORTH THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY. SHOWERS MAY CONTINUE AT KAPF AND KPBI FOR MUCH OF THE
NIGHT...AND KEPT VCSH ELSEWHERE. EASTERLY WINDS 10-15 KNOTS WILL
CONTINUE...AND ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY
SOUTH. THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH ON FRIDAY...AND
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST. ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE IN
THE FORECAST...SO DID NOT MENTION IN THE TAFS ON FRIDAY AT THIS
TIME.

MARINE...
WINDS OFF PALM BEACH COUNTY HAVE REMAINED AROUND 20 KNOTS THIS
AFTERNOON...SO HAVE EXTENDED ADVISORY UNTIL 0Z. ELSEWHERE...15-20
KNOT EAST WINDS WARRANT SMALL CRAFT TO EXERCISE CAUTION. WINDS
SHOULD TURN SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT THEN TURN SOUTHERLY ON FRIDAY AT
SPEEDS OF 10-15 KTS.
