.AVIATION...
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON
INTO EARLY THIS EVENING OUT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO AFFECT SOUTH
FLORIDA TERMINALS INTO THE EVENING HOURS. OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL, HOWEVER IFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED WHEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR
WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 950 AM EDT WED MAY 4 2016/

..SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY...
..FIRE WEATHER WATCH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ALL AREAS...

UPDATE...
A COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN FLORIDA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH
TODAY DOWN THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE STEERING
FLOW TO BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST OVER SOUTH FLORIDA KEEPING THE DEEP
TROPICAL MOISTURE IN PLACE. AT THE SAME TIME...A SHORT WAVE OVER
THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL BE MOVING EAST ACROSS SOUTH
FLORIDA. THESE TWO FEATURES WILL ALLOW FOR NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS
TO DEVELOP OVER SOUTH FLORIDA LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.

THE 500 MB TEMPERATURE ALOFT IN THE MORNING SOUNDING FROM MIA WAS
ALSO AROUND -10C. THESE COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER
SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY ALONG WITH A LOW TO MID LEVEL JET OF 30 TO 50
KNOTS WORKING ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE SHORT WAVE.
THEREFORE...SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE OVER
SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY. THE PRIMARY IMPACTS SHOULD BE GUSTY
WINDS...LARGE HAIL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES...AND HEAVY
RAINFALL. SPC HAS ALSO PUT ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA IN A SLIGHT RISK
OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR TODAY. SO HAVE ADDED STRONG THUNDERSTORM
WORDING TO THE ZONES FOR TODAY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA.

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

AVIATION...
THE WINDS WILL BE SOUTHWEST TODAY AT 5 TO 10 KNOTS THIS MORNING
BEFORE INCREASING TO AROUND 10 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON AT ALL OF THE
TAF SITES. VCSH WILL ALSO REMAIN IN THE TAF SITES THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS BEFORE BECOMING VCTS FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AT
THIS TIME WILL LEAVE OUT A TEMPO GROUP DUE TO TIMING OF THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE VIS AND CEILING WILL REMAIN IN VFR
CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT SHOULD
FALL DOWN INTO IFR CONDITIONS WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

FIRE WEATHER...
EVEN WITH THE EXPECTED RAIN TODAY, THE WIND AND LOWERING RH
TOMORROW WILL QUICKLY WORK TO DRY FUELS ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. BY
FRIDAY, THE FLORIDA FOREST SERVICE FEELS THE FUELS WILL BE
VOLATILE ENOUGH WITH THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY DROPPING INTO THE
LOWER 30 PERCENT RANGE, WITH WIND OF 10 TO 15 MPH TO CREATE
POSSIBLE RED FLAG CONDITIONS. BY SATURDAY, EVEN THOUGH THE WIND
RELAXES MORE, THE RH IS FORECAST TO DROP TO THE MID 20 PERCENT
RANGE, KEEPING CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR A RED FLAG WARNING. SO,
HAVE HOISTED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FOR ALL
OF SOUTH FLORIDA, IN COORDINATION WITH THE FLORIDA FOREST SERVICE.
ALSO, THE DISPERSION ON FRIDAY IS ALREADY FORECAST IN THE UPPER
60S TO NEAR 75 IN THE PART OF THE INTERIOR.

DISCUSSION...

.STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TODAY, ESPECIALLY ALONG EAST
COAST...

TODAY-TONIGHT...SURFACE FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE FL PANHANDLE AND
BIG BEND REGION THIS MORNING BEING DRIVEN BU THE UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE SWINGING ACROSS TX/LA AND ACCOMPANYING 110KT JET MOVING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. CONVECTION IS INCREASING OVER THE
EASTERN GULF AND WEST FL COAST AHEAD OF THE FRONT, ASSOCIATED
WITH A WEAKER UPPER LEVEL PERTURBATION MOVING THROUGH THE GULF.

SPC HAS PLACED MOST OF THE EAST COAST METRO IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR
SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON, KEYING ON THE POTENTIAL FOR A WEAK
EAST COAST SEA BREEZE TO DEVELOP.

THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS IN PLACE TO AID STORM DEVELOPMENT: THE
110KT UPPER JET MOVING INTO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON, INCREASING
LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW 30-40KTS, AND THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER LEVEL
WAVE. THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT ONGOING CONVECTION OVER THE GULF
MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER AND LIMIT HEATING, BUT LATEST
MESOSCALE MODELS HAVE TRENDED LATER WITH THE ARRIVAL OF CLOUDS AND
STORMS PROVIDING MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR WARMING. MORE HEATING ALSO
MAKES AN EAST COAST SEA BREEZE MORE LIKELY.

ACTIVITY LOOKS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST
MID TO LATE MORNING, SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. A SECOND ROUND WILL PUSH THROUGH LATER THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH THE ACTUAL FRONT. CONVECTION WILL TAPER OFF FROM
NW TO SE LATE TONIGHT.

FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OVER 60 MPH WILL BE
THE MAIN THREATS. HAIL IS ALSO A CONCERN IN THE STRONGEST STORMS
AS MID LEVEL TEMPS COOL. WITH HIGHER PWATS IN PLACE, LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL IS ALSO A CONCERN. IF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE DOES
DEVELOP, ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTIONS AS STORMS
APPROACH THE COAST.

THURSDAY-EARLY NEXT WEEK...FRONT AND PRECIP EXPECTED TO CLEAR OUT OF
SOUTH FLORIDA BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY AS THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
AND UPPER LEVEL LOW SWINGS EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC. OVERALL DRY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED, THOUGH A
SECONDARY FRONT PUSHING THROUGH THURS EVENING MAY BRING A FEW LIGHT
SHOWERS OVER THE WATERS. OTHERWISE DRY AND PLEASANT WEATHER THROUGH
THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

COOLER NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP DAYTIME HIGHS A FEW DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL IN THE LOW-MID 80S FRI-SUN, WITH TEMPS WARMING CLOSER TO
NORMAL INTO MONDAY AS EASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE
AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL, DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOW
60S ACROSS THE INTERIOR, WITH MID-UPPER 60S ALONG THE GULF AND
ATLANTIC COASTS. WARMER LOWS RETURN BY SUNDAY NIGHT WITH MID-UPPER
60S INTERIOR/GULF COAST AND LOW 70S EAST COAST.

MARINE...GUSTY SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS IN PLACE FOR MOST OF THE
DAY 15-20KTS AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT'S EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO SOUTH FLORIDA LATE TONIGHT. WHILE THERE MIGHT BE A BRIEF PERIOD
OF 20KT WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT LATER TONIGHT INTO
THURSDAY MORNING, GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO EMPHASIZE MORE 15-20KT THAN
SOLID 20KTS SO WILL HOLD OFF ON AN SCA. HOWEVER, A SMALL INCREASE IN
THE WIND FORECAST COULD RESULT IN A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR EITHER
THE GULF OR ATLANTIC.

NORTHWEST WINDS 10-15KTS THE REST OF THE DAY ON THURSDAY WITH
ANOTHER BRIEF PERIOD OF 15-20KTS OVER THE ATLANTIC THURS NIGHT-
FRI MORNING BEHIND A SECONDARY FRONT. WINDS DIMINISH INTO THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE DROPS INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO AND BUILDS
ACROSS THE STATE, BECOMING MORE LIGHT AND VARIABLE.

SEAS 2-3FT MOST OF TODAY, BUILDING TO 4-6FT OVERNIGHT WITH THE
POST- FRONTAL WINDS. HIGHER SEAS WILL LIKELY LINGER THROUGH
FRIDAY. SEAS DIMINISHING TO 2-3FT BY LATE SATURDAY.

FIRE WEATHER...GUSTY WEST-SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL AND TRANSPORT WINDS
EXPECTED TODAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY, LEADING TO
EXCELLENT DISPERSIONS THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, WIDESPREAD RAIN AND
STORMS THROUGH THE DAY SHOULD HELP MITIGATE ANY RAPID FIRE SPREAD
CONCERNS.

BEHIND THE FRONT, A CONSIDERABLY DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIRMASS
WORKS INTO THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO
DROP TO OR BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS FOR JUST ABOUT ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA
FOR SEVERAL HOURS EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY. GUSTY POST-FRONTAL
WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS MAY BE A CONCERN ON THURSDAY, WITH STRONGER
TRANSPORT WINDS KEEPING DISPERSIONS IN THE VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT
RANGE. LIGHTER WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEKEND.
