Area forecast discussion, Mar 29, 4:42 PM EDT, 1 hour 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
442 PM EDT SAT MAR 29 2014

.UPDATE...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 11PM EDT FOR ALL OF
SOUTH FLORIDA.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 220 PM EDT SAT MAR 29 2014/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-MONDAY NIGHT)...
STRONG MID LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY DEEPEN ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST STATES WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT JUST WEST OF TLH AS
OF 16Z. TWO LARGE CLUSTERS OF TSRA DEVELOPED OVER THE EASTERN GULF
OF MEXICO IN RESPONSE TO STRONG MID/UPPER FORCING ALONG WITH STRONG
LOW LEVEL INFLOW. SPEAKING OF THE STRONG LOW LEVEL INFLOW, THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA HAS INCREASED MUCH MORE THAN
ANY MODEL FORECAST AND HAVE AMENDED ACCORDINGLY THE CWF TO PUT A
SCEC STATEMENT. SOME SURFACE WIND GUSTS OVER THE MAINLAND HAVE
GUSTED TO 30 KNOTS (MIA) WITH SEVERAL OTHER GUSTS OF 25 KNOTS OR
GREATER. AS OF CURRENT THINKING, THE SOUTHERN CLUSTER OF STORMS OVER
THE GULF HAS NOT MOVED MUCH PAST THE LOOP CURRENT. THE NORTHERN
CLUSTER APPEARS THE ONE THAT WILL HOLD TOGETHER AND AFFECT SOUTH
FLORIDA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THE HRRR, WHICH HAS
DONE VERY WELL THIS MORNING, SHOWS THE LINE MOVING INTO GLADES AND
HENDRY COUNTIES AROUND 20Z. AT THAT SAME TIME, IT IS NOW SHOWING
A FEW SMALL CELLS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE ALONG THE EAST
COAST AND THEN THE LINE MOVES THROUGH THE EAST COAST METRO AREA
AROUND 01-03Z THIS EVENING BUT AT WEAKENING STATE. SO IT STILL
APPEARS THE BIGGEST THREAT FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS AND SMALL HAIL
WILL BE THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
THIS EVENING.

THE WEATHER AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFF THE SOUTHEAST
COAST BY LATE THIS EVENING AND THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE
LAKE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO THE ATLANTIC BY SUNRISE SUNDAY
MORNING. A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL THEN FILTER DOWN THE PENINSULA
BEHIND THE FRONT WITH A MOSTLY CLEAR SKY ON SUNDAY AND SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES WITH MAXIMUMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN THE UPPER 70S
TO LOWER 80S AND MINIMUMS SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING RANGING FROM
THE MID 50S WEST OF THE LAKE TO THE LOWER 60S ALONG THE SOUTHEAST
COAST. IT WILL REMAIN A LITTLE COOLER AND DRIER THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
AS THE UPPER FLOW REMAINS NORTHWESTERLY AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERS OVER THE PENINSULA.

LONG TERM (TUESDAY-SATURDAY)...
THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE DOMINATED BY A DEEP LAYER RIDGE AS UPPER
RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER
THE WESTERN U.S. AND THEN MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL STATES. THE SURFACE
RIDGE WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR
MODIFYING TEMPERATURES AND SLOWLY INCREASING HUMIDITY. BY THE END
OF THE WEEK INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK
TO ABOVE AVERAGE FOR EARLY APRIL.

MARINE...
UPDATED THE WIND GRIDS EARLIER TO ACCOUNT FOR STRONGER WINDS THAN
HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN FORECAST HOISTING A SCEC STATEMENT AND THE
12Z GFS CAUGHT ON TO THE ERROR AND CORRECTED ITS FORECAST. THESE
WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO DIMINISH AS THE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST IN
RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE RAPIDLY ON THE INCREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE
EARLY EVENING AS STRONG THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF
MEXICO AND CENTRAL FLORIDA MOVE INTO THE LOCAL WATERS. THE COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST LATE TONIGHT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING BEHIND THE FRONT. THERE WILL BE SHORT-LIVED WIND
AND SEA SURGE ON SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY BEFORE AGAIN DIMINISHING
THROUGH MID-WEEK.

FIRE WEATHER...
A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL MOVE INTO SOUTH FLORIDA SUNDAY AND
MONDAY WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOON
LOWERING TO BELOW 30 PERCENT OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER,
ENERGY RELEASE COMPONENT VALUES REMAIN WELL UNDER 30 SO RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED.
