Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
232 AM EDT Thu Aug 24 2017

.AVIATION...
Mainly light showers will push onshore this morning from over the
Atlantic waters, affecting the east coast terminals. Aft
24/1500Z, south southeast winds will increase to around 10 KT and
showers/thunderstorms will increase in coverage, creating VCTS
conds. Cloud bases generally between 2000-3000 ft msl. Expecting
shower activity to continue through tonight with winds slightly
weakening aft 25/0000Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 745 PM EDT Wed Aug 23 2017/

UPDATE...
Robust convection of this afternoon has for the most part
diminished and exited the region, and near-term models suggest
evening will be relatively quiet across South Florida. Thereafter,
expected increasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms along
the east coast. Have adjusted POPs to reflect this thinking.
Temperatures are already rain cooled in the upper 70s to low
80s, and will fall very little overnight.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 414 PM EDT Wed Aug 23 2017/

DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday night)
Numerous showers and a few thunderstorms have impacted South
Florida today and this activity is likely to continue into
tonight. Very heavy downpours does bring mainly urban flood
concern in the near term. Culprit for the abundant precipitation
is tropical disturbance, generally centered just south and west of
South Florida, will remain nearly in place through at least Thursday
night. Plume of moisture (PWATs 2.1-2.4 inches) will remain over
South Florida through the period, thus numerous showers and
thunderstorms will persist. Locally heavy rainfall is possible,
and as the prolonged rainfall continues, more and more locations
will see saturated ground. See HYDRO section below for details on
flood potential. By Friday, a weak cold front will enter north
Florida, and will draw up the tropical disturbance to the
northeast. Development of this system is not expected in the short
term, with NHC only calling for a 10 percent chance of tropical
cyclone formation through the end of the work-week.

Generally overcast conditions and widespread rainfall will curb
diurnal heating, but do expect the few peaks in clouds to allow
maxima to still rise well into the 80s, with some low 90s, each
afternoon. West Palm Beach set a daily record warm minimum
yesterday (Tuesday), only falling to 82F. The old record was 81
degrees from 2000. With most areas seeing rain cooled air over the
next few days, additional heat records are not anticipated.

LONG TERM (Saturday through Monday)
Front will stall over Central Florida into early next week, and
the tropical disturbance will only slowly move northeast into the
Atlantic and out to sea (when chances for development increase
slightly). Across South Florida, abundant tropical moisture and
deep southwesterly flow will provide ample conditions for numerous
showers and thunderstorms, with potential for heavy rainfall
continuing.

MARINE...
Tropical disturbance in the vicinity of South Florida is not
expected to develop into a Tropical Depression or Storm, but will
bring scattered to numerous thunderstorms to regional waters into
the weekend. Southerly wind of 10 to 15 knots is expected away
from these thunderstorms, with the potential for some higher
southwesterly wind Friday and Saturday. Speeds will closely be
monitored for the potential need for a Small Craft Advisory.

HYDROLOGY...
Overall, PWATs of 2 to 2.5 inches will dominate South Florida into
early next week. A tropical disturbance over the region will bring
plenty of lift to induce numerous showers and thunderstorms during
this period. The system will remain nearly stationary until
Friday, when a cold front moves into Central Florida and stalls.
This front will lift the disturbance northeastward, only gradually
away from South Florida over the weekend. Still, deep, moist
southwesterly flow will continue the likelihood of showers and
thunderstorms over the region. Locally heavy rainfall is expected
throughout this period, with WPC suggesting widespread 2 to 5
inch amounts. However, the flood problems will be most likely
where localized much higher rainfall amounts occur. At this point,
models suggest the heaviest rain and highest flood potential will
not onset until later Thursday. Thus, no Flood Watch will be
issued this evening. One could be issued as early as early
Thursday morning.

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

Flooding: Periods of heavy rain are possible. This may be sufficient
to cause local flooding problems. There is a reasonable threat of
flooding of streets and poor drainage areas.

Thunderstorms: Scattered to numerous afternoon and evening

urged to continue monitoring this threat over the next few days.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Widespread spotter activation is not anticipated, however individual
spotters are encouraged to report flooding to the National Weather
Service forecast office in Miami.
