Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 3:39 PM EDT, 3 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 339 PM EDT SUN JUL 5 2015 .DISCUSSION... THE MAIN WEATHER STORY FOR THE WEEK AHEAD WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF DRIER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST FLORIDA WHERE IT HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY DRY THIS RAINY SEASON. SAHARAN DUST WILL CONTINUE AS WELL...AT LEAST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE WEATHER PATTERN THIS WEEK WILL FAVOR AFTERNOON TSTORMS ACROSS THE INTERIOR-GULF COAST WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW TSTORMS AT NIGHT ACROSS THE ATLANTIC COAST. A DEEP LAYERED MEAN RIDGE AXIS NOW OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WILL BE DISPLACED NORTHWARD AS AN UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW/TUTT NOW EAST OF THE BAHAMAS MOVES TOWARDS THE WEST. MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS THIS FEATURE MOVING OVER THE BAHAMAS THEN SW OR EVEN S WELL TO OUR SOUTH-SOUTHEAST BY MID WEEK. A CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW DEVELOPS FROM THIS FEATURE AND LOOKS TO MOVE JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA...OVER THE FL STRAITS/CUBA. AT LOWER LEVELS...RIDGING NORTH OF THE AREA WILL LEAD TO A CONTINUATION OF AN E-SE WIND FLOW. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS AFTERNOON CONVECTION THROUGH THE WEEK ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND GULF COAST. A FEW NIGHTTIME TSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST FLORIDA...ESPECIALLY BY MID WEEK WITH THE APPROACH OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AS H5 TEMPS COOL...TO -1.5C TO -2C COLDER THAN AVG FOR EARLY JULY. THIS HIGHER INSTABILITY COULD LEAD TO INCREASING NIGHTTIME CONVECTION OVER THE WATERS WITH A FEW NIGHTTIME HIGHLY ELECTRIFIED TSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS. AN ENHANCEMENT IN TSTORM VIGOR IS POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON'S OVER THE INTERIOR-GULF COAST MID WEEK AS WELL DUE TO COLD AIR ALOFT. BY LATE WEEK RIDGING STRENGTHENS OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. AND FLORIDA WITH CONTINUED E-SE FLOW AND REALLY AN UNCHANGEABLE PATTERN IN DAILY CONVECTION...CONTINUING TO FOCUSED INLAND AND TOWARD THE GULF COAST. MID LEVELS WARM LATE IN THE WEEK. SO LOOKS LIKE THREAT FOR STRONGEST TSTORMS IS MID WEEK. && .MARINE... E-SE WINDS WILL PREVAIL AT 10-15 KT THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH SEAS LESS THAN 4 FT. THE ONLY CONCERN WILL BE ISOLATED TSTORMS OVER THE WATERS, PARTICULARLY MID WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
