The local office's own words before this areal flood warning 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 areal flood warning went out at Jun 6, 3:37 PM EDT, 4 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 3:37 PM EDT, 4 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 337 PM EDT Tue Jun 6 2017 .DISCUSSION... A busy pattern for the next several days, and into next week. A low pressure system over the Louisiana coast, is forecast to slowly slide to the east, and even southeast, towards Central florida. Models show it will take the rest of the week before it crosses the Florida peninsula. This will keep showers and thunderstorms in the forecast into the weekend, at least. GFS Theta E graphics show moisture will move across the CWA in waves, allowing for some breaks in the rain, especially in the overnight hours. For tonight, the boundary will lay somewhere from south Collier County across, into northern Palm Beach County, with higher values to the north. By 12z, however, the drier air will be pushed off the east coast, with showers developing across the area once again. With PWATs continuing to be over 2 inches over various portions of South Florida through the night, and into tomorrow, have issued a Flood Watch for all areas except Mainland Monroe, where flooding is more difficult, and Glades County, where not as much rain has fallen today, through 00z Thursday. This may even need to be extended, if chances of rain continue to be high, given the saturated nature of the area at this time. As the low approaches Central Florida for the latter half of the week, some drier air, but not necessarily dry air, will make its way into at least some of the area. This will be mainly over the western lake region, western interior, and coastal naples area, where PWATs . The other half of the CWA may still see PWATs just below 2 inches. Models are still indicating higher PoPs for this area through Sunday, as a weak boundary remains over the CWA, behind the low, as it finally exits to the northeast. by the beginning of next week, a bermuda high strengthens, bringing a more typical summertime pattern back to South Florida, with chance PoPs across the region. && .MARINE... Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible across all South Florida waters through the beginning of next week. The wind will continue to run between 20 and 25 kts across portions of the Gulf through 06z. Given this, the small craft advisory has been extended through 06z tonight. After this small craft should continue to use caution in a coastal South Florida waters for the next several days. && .AVIATION... The winds have remain light and variable this morning into early this afternoon. The short range models continue to show light and variable winds rest of this afternoon into tonight for all of South Florida taf sites. The short range models also continue to show showers to affect the northern areas of South Florida through rest of this afternoon before decreasing in coverage tonight. Therefore, SHRA along with VCTS will be put in for KAPF, KFLL, KFXE, and KPBI taf sites. For KOPF, KMIA, and KTMB VCSH will will be in place through the afternoon hours. For the overnight hours, VCSH will remain in place over all of the taf sites. The ceiling and vis will remain in VFR conditions outside of the showers and thunderstorms, but could fall down into MVFR or even IFR conditions with any passage of showers or thunderstorms. && .HYDROLOGY... Abundant rain, across almost all of South Florida, has likely saturated much of the soil. Given the high amounts of moisture in the atmosphere, which will continue through at least tomorrow, and the high chances of heavy rain, have issued a Flood Watch for all Counties, except Mainland Monroe and Glades County. However, if Glades begins to see higher amounts of rain overnight, they also may need to be added to the watch. Some of the rainfall totals across the area are significant, including 10.27 inches in Everglades City, 14.68 5 miles NE of Everglades City, and 9.83 inches in Marco Island. These are not storm totals but only amounts through around 2 pm edt today. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
