AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1005 AM EST FRI JAN 15 2016

.UPDATE...

SOUTH FL HAS BEEN UPGRADED FROM A MARGINAL TO SLT RISK FOR SVR
TODAY. EVEN SCATTERED SHWS PRODUCING WINDS TO 40 MPH AS THEY
DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST COAST. MOST ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CONFINED TO
THE LAKE REGION AND WEST COAST. A FEW CELLS HAVE SHOWN ROTATION
MOVING ONSHORE, SO POSSIBLE THAT WATERSPOUTS ON OUR GULF WATERS
COULD MOVE ONTO THE COLLIER COAST OR ROTATION COULD POTENTIALLY
SURVIVE INTO EXTREME WESTERN HENDRY. ATTM, THUNDERSTORMS DUE WEST
OF BONITA SPRINGS OVER THE GULF WATERS IS ONE TO WATCH,
ESPECIALLY IF IT CONTINUES TO HOOK TO THE RIGHT/SOUTH.

THE MORE BREAKS OF SUNSHINE WE GET THIS MORNING, THE MORE
PROBABLE SEVERE STORMS WILL BE THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE EAST COAST. ADDITIONAL LIFT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE NEARING
FRONT, WHICH IS PROGGED A LITTLE FASTER THAN PREVIOUS FORECASTS. A
LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE, QLCS IN
NATURE. ALTHOUGH SURFACE WINDS WILL BE VEERING TODAY, AN ISOLATED
TORNADO CAN'T BE RULED OUT EVEN ALONG THE QLCS. IN ADDITION, NEAR
TERM MODELS SEEM TO BE FOCUSING ON STRONG CELLS DEVELOPING LATE PM
JUST OFFSHORE EXTREME SW FL, RACING ENE TOWARDS MIAMI-DADE, JUST
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. PRECIP DECREASES RAPIDLY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS PM WITH THE FRONT PERHAPS
CLEARING PARTS OF THE WEST COAST AND THE LAKE BY 0Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 550 AM EST FRI JAN 15 2016/

AVIATION...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS FLORIDA TO THE NORTH OF THE
AREA TODAY. AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO SOUTH FLORIDA THIS MORNING. THIS AFTERNOON WILL
SEE A SECOND ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA. SOME OF THE STORMS HAVE A SMALL CHANCE BECOMING
STRONG TO SEVERE, WITH GUSTY WIND BEING THE MAIN THREAT.
WATERSPOUTS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS, WHICH COULD
IMPACT APPROACH FOR THE AIRPORTS. THE WIND WILL BE SOUTHEAST THIS
MORNING AND BECOMING SOUTHWEST BY THE AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE GUSTY
THROUGH THE DAY. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, IT WILL BECOME WEST TO
NORTHWEST. OTHERWISE, VFR IS IN THE TAFS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
HOWEVER, BRIEF, LOCALIZED IFR WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY HEAVY
SHOWERS AND STORMS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 438 AM EST FRI JAN 15 2016/

DISCUSSION...
PATTERN EVOLVING PRETTY MUCH AS ANTICIPATED EARLY THIS MORNING AS
SFC LOW PRESSURE NEAR 1000 MB JUST SOUTH OF MOBILE TRACKS EAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO, AND A WARM FRONT EXTENDS SE
FROM THE LOW TO NEAR THE SW FLORIDA COAST. SATELLITE AND LIGHTNING
DATA SHOW ENHANCED CONVECTION OVER THE SE GULF ASSOCIATED WITH THE
WARM FRONT AND BOOSTED BY 100+ KT JET STREAM OVERHEAD. THE FIRST
ROUND OF WEATHER AND POTENTIAL STRONG/SEVERE STORMS THROUGH
MID/LATE MORNING WILL BE WITH THE WARM FRONT AS IT MOVES NORTH,
WITH SW FLORIDA AND LAKE OKEECHOBEE AREA INITIALLY WITH THE
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THREAT. LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES WILL BE HIGH
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ROTATING STORMS, AND IT'S A MAINLY A QUESTION OF
INSTABILITY WHICH IS THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR AT THIS TIME.
INDEED, SOME OF THE SHOWERS 50-60 MILES OFFSHORE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
ARE ROTATING EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE STILL QUITE SHALLOW. THIS NEEDS
TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY.

SOLID LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTHERN GULF IS A
SIGN OF THE SECOND ROUND OF STORMS TODAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD
FRONT FOLLOWING ON THE HEELS OF THE WARM FRONT. THIS SECOND ROUND
IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST FROM LATE
MORNING THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. A BIT MORE INSTABILITY
EXPECTED BY AFTERNOON WITH LOW LEVEL WINDS INCREASING TO 30-40 KTS
AT 850 MB. THE THREAT OF STRONG/SEVERE STORMS IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER
AREA-WIDE THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO THE INSTABILITY AND WIND FIELDS,
AS WELL AS FROM MORE FOCUSED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE PROVIDED BY THE
FRONT. ALTHOUGH THE MAIN THREAT IS DAMAGING "STRAIGHT-LINE" WINDS,
THERE WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH HELICITY FOR A LOW TORNADO THREAT BOTH
FROM DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS AS WELL AS
WITH ANY LOCALIZED BOWING OF CELLS EMBEDDED IN THE MAIN CONVECTIVE
BAND.

COLD FRONT THEN MOVES THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON,
WITH DRIER BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER CONDITIONS MOVING IN. THERE
COULD BE SOME PATCHY FOG LATE TONIGHT WHICH IS NOT DEPICTED IN THE
CURRENT FORECAST BUT WILL BE RE-EVALUATED THIS AFTERNOON. SATURDAY
LOOKS TO BE THE DRY DAY OF THE WEEKEND BEFORE A SECOND LOW
PRESSURE AREA AND COLD FRONT RACES ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO
SATURDAY NIGHT. MODELS IN BETTER AGREEMENT ON THIS LOW TRACKING
FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE CURRENT SYSTEM, SOMEWHERE ACROSS CENTRAL
FLORIDA AT AROUND 1005 MB. UPPER JET STREAM WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL
BE NEAR 150 KNOTS ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA AND GFS/ECMWF ARE SHOWING
AN IMPRESSIVE 50-60 KT LOW LEVEL JET AT 850 MB SUNDAY MORNING.
THIS POINTS TO ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG STORMS MOVING THROUGH SOUTH
FLORIDA EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF SUNDAY, WITH SPC DEPICTING US IN A
MARGINAL RISK. LOCAL AIR MASS MAY BE SLIGHTLY MORE UNSTABLE
COMPARED TO TODAY, THEREFORE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK MAY END
UP BEING HIGHER THAN TODAY. STILL HAVE SOME TIME TO WATCH BUT
TRENDS ARE POINTING AT A POTENTIALLY NASTY EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF
THE DAY ON SUNDAY WITH STRONG AND GUSTY SW-W WINDS EVEN OUTSIDE OF
THE SHOWERS/TSTMS.

THE TRAIN OF SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEMS APPEAR TO COME TO AN END
AFTER SUNDAY AS DRIER AND COOLER AIR MOVES IN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRY CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
TEMPERATURES EARLY TO MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK COULD BE THE COOLEST SO
FAR THIS WINTER SEASON, WITH LOWS IN THE 40S AND 50S AND HIGHS IN
THE 60S. COOLEST DAY LOOKS TO BE TUESDAY WITH LOWS IN THE 40S MOST
AREAS, EXCEPT LOWER 50S SOUTHEAST METRO, AND HIGHS REMAINING IN
THE 60S.

MARINE/COASTAL...
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS TODAY ALL WATERS AS S-SW WINDS INCREASE
TO OVER 20 KNOTS ALONG WITH THE SHOWERS/TSTMS. CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE RATHER RAPIDLY THIS EVENING WITH WINDS/SEAS BELOW SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA. GOOD CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY BEFORE
RAPIDLY DETERIORATING AGAIN LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. SW-W WINDS COULD
BE UP TO 25-30 KNOTS ON SUNDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
CENTRAL FLORIDA. THIS WILL NOT ONLY LEAD TO ROUGH MARINE
CONDITIONS, BUT COULD ALSO BE A COASTAL CONCERN FOR THE COLLIER
COUNTY COAST IN THE FORM OF ROUGH SURF AND BEACH EROSION. ESTOFS
EXTRATROPICAL STORM SURGE GUIDANCE SHOWS 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL ALONG
THE COLLIER COUNTY COAST ON SUNDAY, WITH DOESN'T LOOK TOO FAR OUT
OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY IF THE STRONGER WINDS PAN OUT. NORTH
WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL KEEP SEAS ELEVATED IN
THE GULF STREAM BUT SLOWLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE.
