Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 2:31 PM EDT, 2 hours 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 231 PM EDT THU JUN 11 2015 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL BUILD INTO SOUTH FLORIDA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...BRINGING SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FOCUSED OVER INTERIOR AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... CI DEBRIS FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION HAS HELD ON IN SOUTH FLORIDA INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON...SUPPRESSING INSTABILITY AND TEMPERATURES TO SOME DEGREE. THUS...TSTM CHANCES HAVE BEEN REDUCED TODAY. WEAK M/ULVL LOPRES OVER NORTH-CENTRAL GULF WILL GRADUALLY RETROGRADE AND WEAKEN AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE EAST. EXPECT MORE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...LEADING TO EVEN LOWER POPS ALONG ATLANTIC COAST...WITH TYPICAL SUMMERTIME DIURNAL CONVECTION REMAINING SCATTERED AND INLAND. OVERNIGHT BREEZE OFF THE ATLANTIC WILL KEEP MINIMA WARM...NEAR 80F...WITH MAXIMA AREAWIDE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S. EASTERLY WIND INCREASE WILL RESULT IN MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ON ATLANTIC BEACHES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... RELATIVELY BENIGN CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST WELL INTO NEXT WEEK. SUBTROPICAL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON CONVECTION ANTICIPATED. OVERALL...FCST RNFL AMOUNTS WELL BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR/SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL AT ALL SITES THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION THAT MAY DEVELOP. MUCH MORE STABLE LOW AND MID LEVELS ALONG WITH PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER HAVE KEPT CONVECTION FROM FORMING THUS FAR THIS AFTERNOON. LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE DOES SHOW SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ACROSS THE EAST COASTAL AREAS BUT MAY FILL BACK IN SHORTLY WITH THICKER CIRRUS MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTH. THEREFORE BELIEVE ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS SHOULD BE CONFINED ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND MUCH LESS IN COVERAGE THAN OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. && .MARINE... HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENING OVER WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BRING PREDOMINANTLY EASTERLY WIND TO THE WATERS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK..ALTHOUGH SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN 15 KT OR LESS. SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW 4 FEET. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
