AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1018 AM EDT TUE APR 8 2014

.UPDATE...
A COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED OVER NORTHERN FLORIDA EXTENDING SOUTHWEST
INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
SOUTHWARD AND PASS THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH. POPS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA
WILL RANGE FROM LIKELY OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS TO HIGH END CHANCE
OVER THE SOUTHERN AREAS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

THE LATEST SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE STILL SHOWING A LOW TO MID
LEVEL JET OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS MOVING THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THIS JET WILL HELP TO GENERATE A FEW
STRONG STORMS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WITH THE PRIMARY IMPACTS BEING
GUSTY WINDS UP TO 50 MPH. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION A FEW STRONG
STORMS IN THE HWO PACKAGE.

SHIP REPORTS THIS MORNING IN THE ATLANTIC WATERS HAVE BEEN COMING
IN AROUND 17 TO 19 KNOTS. THE 12Z MIA SOUNDING IS ALSO SHOWING 20
TO 30 KNOT WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE WHICH SHOULD MIX DOWN SOME
TO THE SURFACE. THE WINDS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO AROUND 20 KNOTS
FOR THE ATLANTIC WATERS FOR TODAY AND A SCA WILL BE PUT IN PLACE
FOR THE ATLANTIC WATERS.

REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKS GOOD AT THIS TIME AND NO OTHER CHANGES
ARE PLANNED.

&&
.UPDATE...54/BNB

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 757 AM EDT TUE APR 8 2014/

AVIATION...

THE FORECAST REASONING REGARDING THE APPROACH OF THE COLD FRONT IS
VERY SIMILAR AS EARLIER THIS MORNING. THERE IS A CHANCE OF
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS (INDICATED AS VCTS) AFTER 18Z FOR THE EAST
COAST TERMINALS AND AFTER 15Z FOR NAPLES. IN GENERAL, VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...ALTHOUGH
THE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
TEMPORARY VSBY/CIG RESTRICTIONS.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 323 AM EDT TUE APR 8 2014/

SHORT TERM (TODAY-THURSDAY)...
GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
TIMING THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH A LARGE SCALE TROUGH DEEPENING
ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE NAM HAS THE
SLOWEST SOLUTION BUT BY ONLY ABOUT 2-3 HOURS OVER THE GFS AND
ECMWF. THE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY IN THE BIG BEND AREA OF THE
PANHANDLE AND WILL MOVE SOUTH DOWN THE PENINSULA THROUGH THE
COURSE OF THE DAY AS THE MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO
DEEPEN. THE MAIN CONCERN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAS BEEN THE
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANY STORM BEING
STRONG TO SEVERE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT
OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS IN SHOWING A DEEP BAND OF MOISTURE ALONG
AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT BUT AT THE SAME TIME ALSO INDICATING VERY
WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE UPDRAFTS WITHIN
THE LINE OF SHOWERS OR STORMS. ALSO, THE MODELS HAVE BEEN
CONSISTENT IN SHOWING UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE
FRONT WHICH WOULD INHIBIT CONVERGENCE. THE SOUTHWEST FLOW THAT
WILL BE DEVELOPING THIS MORNING WILL ALSO INCREASE WITH FORECAST
SOUNDINGS DEPICTING A MEAN WIND FIELD FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 25 TO
30 KNOTS. THIS WILL ALSO PUT A DAMPER ON ANY EAST COAST SEABREEZE
AND THIS TOO WILL LIMIT CONVERGENCE WITH DIURNAL HEATING THIS
AFTERNOON. SO, MANY NEGATIVE FACTORS COMING INTO PLAY FOR STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT
LEANING TOWARDS A BAND OF SHOWERS WITH GUSTY WINDS. HOWEVER, THE
HRRR WHICH HAS ALWAYS HAD A GOOD TRACK RECORD SHOWS THE LINE OVER
THE GULF OF MEXICO WEAKENING CONSIDERABLY AS IT APPROACHES THE
SOUTHWEST COAST. AT ANY RATE, THE BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY APPEAR TO BE IN THE 15-18Z RANGE IN THE NAPLES AREA,
18-21Z RANGE FOR THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION AND PALM BEACH COUNTY
AND THEN LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING ALONG THE SOUTHEAST
COASTAL REGION.

THE OTHER CONCERN FOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE TEMPERATURES ALONG
THE EAST COAST. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOUTHWEST FLOW ALONG WITH
THE GFS AND NAM SHOWING 1000-850MB THICKNESS VALUES IN THE RANGE
OF 1416-1418 METERS BETWEEN 18-21Z, TEMPERATURES COULD EASILY
APPROACH 90 OR EVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER. HOWEVER, THEY ALSO SHOW AN
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AND THIS COULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF HEATING
THAT TAKES PLACE. STILL, THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR MAXIMUMS TO
APPROACH RECORD HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON AND THOSE ARE LISTED BELOW.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY 06Z WITH COLD
AIR ADVECTION ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AS THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT REMAINS OVER THE SOUTH
CENTRAL GULF STATES. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A MUCH COOLER AND DRIER
AIRMASS FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON REMAINING IN THE 70S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS ON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY MORNING RANGING FROM THE LOWER 50S WEST OF
LAKE OKEECHOBEE TO THE MID 60S ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST. THE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN RAPIDLY SHIFT EAST ON THURSDAY AS THE
UPPER TROUGH LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST WITH A GRADUAL AIRMASS
MODIFICATION ENSUING THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

LONG TERM (FRIDAY-MONDAY)...
A MID LEVEL ZONAL FLOW PATTERN WILL RETURN TO SOUTH FLORIDA FOR THE
END OF THE WEEK INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND WITH THE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS STATES BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THIS COULD HELP TO AID IN LIFTING THE OLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BACK TO THE NORTH AS THE GFS AND THE ECMWF ARE
HINTING. THIS COULD LEAD TO A SLIGHT INCREASE IN EAST COASTAL
SHOWERS IN THIS TIME FRAME.

MARINE...
RAPIDLY DETERIORATING CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR THIS MORNING INTO
WEDNESDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND A SOUTHWEST WIND
INCREASES. THERE IS EVEN A BRIEF WINDOW THIS AFTERNOON OF NEAR SCA
CONDITIONS OVER BOTH THE GULF AND ATLANTIC WATERS EAST OF PALM
BEACH COUNTY BUT WILL JUST HAVE A SCEC STATEMENT FOR NOW. THE
WIND WILL THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT AND THE
GRADUALLY BECOME NORTH AND NORTHEAST BY THURSDAY AND DIMINISH TO
AROUND 15 KNOTS.

CLIMATE...
TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S OVER
THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST METRO AREAS. HOWEVER...THE EAST COAST
METRO AREAS MAY BE ABLE TO WARM UP TO AROUND 90 DEGREES DUE TO
THE SOUTHWEST WINDS. THESE HIGHS ALONG THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS
WILL BE CLOSE TO OR AT NEAR RECORD HIGHS WHICH ARE:
