The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at May 24, 3:51 PM EDT, 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 24, 3:51 PM EDT, 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 351 PM EDT TUE MAY 24 2016 ...Drier conditions Wednesday before more unsettled weather late this week into this weekend... .SHORT TERM... A trough of low pressure over the eastern United States will move east through Wednesday allowing for a mid to upper level low to form just east of South Florida. This will allow for drier air to the north to work into South Florida for tonight into Wednesday night. Therefore, the scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms that are occurring over South Florida this afternoon should dissipate through this evening hours. There could still be a few showers over the southern areas late tonight into Wednesday due to the closeness of the upper level low. The short range models are showing weak surface low pressure developing near or just east of The Bahamas late this week and move the low to the north/northwest towards the southeastern United States this weekend. At this same time, models are showing the mid to upper level low to move back into the Florida Peninsula. This weather pattern will allow for tropical moisture to work back into South Florida from the south leading to scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms each day late this week into this weekend. The best chance of showers and thunderstorms will be over the interior areas where the sea breezes collided. The NHC is also giving this weak low a 30 percent chance of developing into a subtropical or tropical system in the next 5 days. At this time, it is too early to tell if there will be additional impacts to South Florida. .LONG TERM... The long range models are showing that the tropical moisture will remain over South Florida early next week, as the upper level low weakens over South Florida. Therefore, the POPS will remain the scattered to numerous range over the area during this time. && .MARINE... The winds will be northeast to east direction tonight through Wednesday night, and the wind speeds will be increasing from 10 to 15 knots this evening to 15 to 20 knots late tonight into Wednesday night. The wind speeds will then decrease to 10 to 15 knots late this week from the east. This will keep the seas at 5 feet or less in both the Atlantic and Gulf waters through late this week, except for Wednesday where it could get up to 6 feet in the Gulf Stream. The breezy northeast/east winds will also allow for the threat of rip currents to increase along the east coast beaches tonight into Wednesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... West Palm Beach 86 75 86 75 / 50 10 10 10 Fort Lauderdale 86 77 86 77 / 60 20 10 10 Miami 87 76 87 76 / 60 30 20 10 Naples 91 70 90 69 / 40 30 20 10 && .MFL Watches/Warnings/Advisories... FL...None.
