AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
231 PM EDT FRI AUG 8 2014

.SHORT TERM...
SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER TO THE EAST IS
BEING WEAKENED BY A WEAKER HIGH PRESSURE CENTER OVER THE GULF.
ALSO, THERE IS ALSO WEAK FLOW IN THE MID LEVELS, AROUND 500MB, AS
SHOWN IN THIS MORNINGS SOUNDING. THIS WILL CAUSE SLOW STORM
MOVEMENT, WITH MOST SYSTEMS DRIFTING TO THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON.
THIS MOVEMENT IS BEING OBSERVED ON THE KAMX RADAR THIS AFTERNOON.

ALSO, THIS MORNINGS SOUNDING SHOWED A VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE, WITH
PWATS OF 2.19 IN. THE FREEZING LEVEL IS JUST BELOW 15000 FT. THERE
IS, OF COURSE, PLENTY OF CAPE, WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR SOUTH FLORIDA
THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE 700-500 LAPSE RATES ARE NOT GREAT, ONLY AT
6.1 C/KM. SO, GIVEN THIS, WOULD EXPECT THE THUNDERSTORMS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, WITH MAINLY HEAVY RAIN AS THE
THREAT OF CONCERN, WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME URBAN STREET FLOODING.
THERE ALSO MAY BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF ISOLATED SMALL HAIL, WITH
THE FREEZING LEVEL GIVEN. BUT THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY SATURATED, SO
AGAIN, MAY BE ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF IT. AS FOR WIND, WOULD NOT
EXPECT ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT FROM THE STORMS TODAY, BUT CAN NOT
RULE OUT ISOLATED STRONG, GUSTY WINDS FROM A DOWNBURST, WITH A
COLLAPSING STORM. BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD BE THE EXCEPTION TODAY, NOT
THE RULE.

MODELS ARE SHOWING THE THUNDERSTORMS DISSIPATING AFTER SUNSET.
THEY ALSO SHOW THE GENERAL PATTERN REPEATING EACH AFTERNOON
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THERE ARE SOME SUBTLE DIFFERENCES HOWEVER,
THE ECMWF IS SHOWING SOME DRY AIR TRYING WORK ITS WAY IN. THE GFS
SHOWS A MOISTER ATMOSPHERE. BOTH MODELS DO BOTH SHOW PRECIPITATION
IN THE AFTERNOONS, BUT THE ECMWF LOOKS TO BE LESS COVERAGE AND
LESS RAIN ACCUMULATION, WHICH MAKES SENSE DUE TO THE DRIER AIR.
HAVE LEFT POPS IN PLACE WITH A FEW MINOR TWEAKS. SO, THE FORECAST
IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS WHAT WENT OUT THIS MORNING, WITH MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO INCLUDE NEW MODEL DATA.

.LONG TERM...
THE LATEST EXTENDED GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST MORE OF A TYPICAL
SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS
REMAINING OVERHEAD. MODEL PWATS INDICATE THE DRYING TREND WILL
CONTINUE WITH VALUES LOWERING INTO THE 1.3 TO 1.7" INCH RANGE BY
TUESDAY. THE LATEST FCST PACKAGE REFLECTS THIS AND ONLY INDICATES
ISLTD TO SCT AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS EACH DAY SETTING UP ACROSS
THE INTERIOR/LAKE REGIONS. A RETURN OF EAST COAST SHOWER/TSTM
ACTIVITY MAY RETURN BY THE END OF THE PERIOD AS THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE
SHIFTS BACK TO THE SOUTH LEAVING LIGHT SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE
AREA.

/AG

&&

.AVIATION...
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE SO FAR MAINLY INLAND. BUT THE EAST COAST
SEA BREEZE IS SLOWLY MOVING WESTWARD. THAT COMBINED WITH OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES WILL IGNITE ADDITIONAL CONVECTION OVER THE SHORT TERM.
ALL TERMINALS ASSIGNED VCTS BY 18-19Z AS CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE IN COVERAGE. AS SEA BREEZES SLACKEN THIS EVENING WINDS
WILL LIKELY BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT. A TROPICAL WAVE
CONTINUES TO PASS SOUTHWARD OF CUBA AND MAY ALLOW FOR A FEW
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OVER NIGHT. BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR
CONDITIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING WITH OCCURRENCE OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL ACROSS THE MARINE AREAS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND WITH LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUING. WINDS AND SEAS
MAY BECOME LOCALLY HIGHER IN AND AROUND HEAVY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.

WATER LEVELS RUNNING SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL COMBINED WITH THE
UPCOMING LUNAR PERIGEE ON SUNDAY COULD RESULT IN SOME MINOR STREET
FLOODING OVER THE TYPICAL MIAMI BEACH AREAS ALONG THE BAY SIDE. THIS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED OVER THE WEEKEND ESPECIALLY DURING THE
HIGH TIDE CYCLES SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
