Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
203 PM EDT Tue Apr 10 2018
.AVIATION...
South southeast winds will remain around 11-13 KT along the
immediate east coast metro over the next few hours, affecting
most of the east coast TAF sites. VCTS conds appear likely to
keep developing over TAF sites from KMIA to KPBI. Some of the
storms could produce brief gusty winds and lower vis below 3sm
with heavy rainfall at times. Winds will weaken and veer
southwesterly overnight, veering northwest, then northerly by
early tomorrow. The chance for showers will continue through the
night for mainly the east coast TAF sites.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1225 PM EDT Tue Apr 10 2018/
UPDATE...
Water vapor imagery loop shows a robust line of convection
stretching from the eastern Gulf of Mexico and across the central
Florida peninsula. The line was slowly sagging southward. The 12Z
MFL sounding indicated veering winds with height...southerly at
the surface and westerly above 850 mb. This flow pattern continues
to usher in low level moisture, with satellite derived PWAT
already up to 1.5" over nearly the whole CWA. Similar to the past
several days, short range models show convergence along the far
east coast of Palm Beach and Broward counties. This is where
models prog convection to fire later this afternoon. Increased
instability from the southward pressing front, along with this
coastal breeze convergence, will lead to the possibility of
strong, or even some severe storms in Palm Beach County this
afternoon and into this evening. Isolated episodes of 1 inch hail,
wind gusts up to 60 mph, and heavy rain could accompany these
storms. In the update, focused coverage of PoPs along the east
coast and increased into the likely category over eastern portions
of West Palm Beach County. Otherwise, all else looked on track.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 914 AM EDT Tue Apr 10 2018/
DISCUSSION...
A frontal boundary lingers over northern portions of the state this
morning with convection over north and central Florida.
Southwesterly flow will continue today, which will act to once again
keep the east coast sea breeze pinned closer to the coast. This
should allow today's convection to develop later in the day with
showers and thunderstorms focused over eastern portions of the
peninsula. The Storm Prediction Center has the northeastern portions
of the forecast area (mainly Lake Okeechobee and Palm Beach County)
within the marginal risk of severe weather for today. Gusty winds,
heavy rain, lightning, and hail cannot be ruled out with the
stronger storms today.
A mid-level trough will dig into the state by Wednesday, allowing
the front to begin progressing back south and east across the
peninsula of Florida. Cannot rule out showers and potentially a
thunderstorm with the frontal passage, but convection should be
trending downward as the front weakens while crossing the area
Wednesday.
Behind the front, relatively drier conditions will push over the
region on Thursday. Atlantic surface high pressure will once again
build into the region from just east of the Atlantic seaboard of the
United States. This drier pattern will persist into the weekend
before the next frontal system pushes across the country. The next
front will move into the region on Sunday with a passage through
South Florida late Sunday into early Monday. There is some
divergence in the solutions presented by guidance with a more
progressive GFS showing an earlier frontal passage while the slower
ECMWF keeps the front lingering into early next week to close out
the extended forecast period. This front does look to pack a better
punch with showers and thunderstorms possible.
MARINE...
Conditions over the waters, particularly in the Atlantic, may begin
to deteriorate later today into tonight as the front passes through.
Behind the front, winds will increase to advisory criteria over the
Atlantic waters. Conditions will improve late in the week before the
next front comes through during the weekend with increasing winds
and seas.
