Area forecast discussion, Feb 26, 12:31 PM EST, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 1231 PM EST Wed Feb 26 2020 .Aviation... MVFR/areas of IFR CIGs developing late this afternoon and evening as the main band of showers and a few thunderstorms associated with a cold front moves across the region. S winds also shift from the W then the NW this afternoon into the overnight hours while maintaining a breeziness. Confidence in timing and location for TSRA is low, so handled with VCSH and SHRA for now. Conditions should improve after frontal passage Thursday morning with VFR and breezy conditions. && .Prev Discussion... /issued 929 AM EST Wed Feb 26 2020/ Update... A cold front currently draped across the eastern GOMEX will continue to advance SE and towards South Florida over the course of the day today. Expected TOA of the front is late this afternoon into the early evening hours before pushing offshore by Thursday morning. PoPs are expected to become more numerous as the cold front closes in and spreading from west to east. Most of the precipitation looks to be showers, however a few embedded thunderstorms may be possible, so included mention across all of the CWA and the local waters. Looking at SSCRAM, forecast soundings, forecast derived PW's, and the modified RAOB sounding, the potential for an isolated damaging wind gust is certainly there with this activity. The most notable areas denoted by the aforementioned data sources are the Lake Region and eastern Palm Beach County (along with all the local waters). The possibility for higher pockets of PW are also hinted at across urban Palm Beach County. For the marine zones, will have to keep an eye on the winds and wind gusts for today, especially for the Atlantic waters. Currently, Small Craft Should Exercise Caution today, however if winds pick up earlier than anticipated, may have to issue a SCA. Currently, confidence too low for the SCA but again, will continue to monitor. One other thing to watch is the possibility for minor localized flooding across urban areas. Both the NAM and the HRRR anticipate the 0-3km bulk shear to remain parallel to the showers/storms that develop, allowing for the increased potential for heavier rainfall at times. Temperatures will trend above normal yet again today before cooling down after FROPA. The HWO has been updated to reflect the changes accordingly. Prev Discussion... /issued 406 AM EST Wed Feb 26 2020/ Discussion... Short Term (Today-Thursday night)... The radar has shown a few scattered showers across portions of the area this morning. Southerly winds are currently advecting a very rich moisture plume into the region from the south. This coupled with an approaching cold front will continue to generate more showers and perhaps a t'storm or two. Showers are forecast to expand in coverage and intensity through the day and especially tonight as 1) the front moves into the area and 2) better ascent takes shape. The best potential for heavy rainfall will reside across the northern sections, closer to the better dynamics, however, in the prominent southwesterly flow, any backbuilding cells may produce a very limited nuisance flooding potential, especially for areas the receive multiple backbuilding showers in the urban areas. Thunder potential will be there, however, lapse rates are fairly poor and without much upper level cooling to take place, expect thunder to remain the exception rather than the rule. Although some stronger showers may produce gusty winds, the overall severe weather potential appears to be low for the majority of the region. Eventually the front will slide through bringing a much cooler airmass into the region from the north. Temperatures will drop off tonight behind the front with several inland locations dropping to the 50s. Even during the day we'll notice a decent drop from the middle and upper 80s today to the lower 70s on Thursday. Long Term (Friday-Wednesday)... Models depict broad high pressure sprawling across much of the Gulf region and the Florida peninsula on Friday, with cold and drier air advection still ongoing in the wake of a FROPA. POPS basically drop to zero on both long range models for Friday, and remain in single digits through the weekend. On the other hand, model solutions depict a possible short wave feature quickly sweeping across the SE CONUS, with an associated frontal feature crossing the peninsula on Saturday. But this feature is so weak that none of the models even bring a change in the moisture vertical profile with it, nor the sfc- 850 mb winds show a tangible shift, basically remaining NNW/NNE through Sunday afternoon. Thus, expect no rain through the weekend and into early next week, with a persisting northerly component in the low level flow and generally dry conditions. The weekend synoptic scenario described above will keep cold air advection from the north in place and bringing morning lows to around 40 across the Lake region, low-mid 40s west coast and interior, and upper 40s to around 50 for the Atlantic coast. Highs will hover the upper 60s to low 70s. By Monday, the high over the Gulf migrates eastward as an upper level ridge develops over the peninsula. This will veer winds to a more E/SE flow, which in turn will usher warmer air from the Atlantic into SoFlo. Therefore, expect temperatures to rebound back to near or at normals on Monday-Tuesday, then warm up to above normals by Wednesday. Marine... Winds and seas will be on the increase across the Atlantic waters today. Cautionary wording will be needed as winds and seas will begin to approach SCA thresholds. Can't rule out the need for an advisory later this evening and overnight tonight for the offshore Atlantic waters as winds increase to near 20kts. Behind the front, winds and seas will increase, especially across the Gulf waters, surpassing SCA thresholds. Winds will gradually subside early this weekend, however, with a second shot of cold air moving southward, winds/sea may pick up to cautionary or SCA thresholds once again on Sunday. Beach Forecast... Rip current threat will remain high for Palm Beach County and moderate for Miami-Dade/Broward County beaches through today and overnight as winds and swells remain somewhat favorable. Behind the front, the potential will remain and even increase for the Gulf waters as seas increase later today and especially tonight. Fire Weather... Behind the front a very dry airmass will build southward into the region on Thursday. With 20ft winds remaining somewhat elevated and RH values dropping in most spots below 50 percent (perhaps even lower than 40 percent interior), there will be a conditional threat for fire concerns. Though there are many limiting factors including low level winds decreasing relatively quickly as well as wet ground from recent rainfall with the frontal boundary moving through the region. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT Rip currents: A High Rip Current Risk is in effect for the Palm Beaches. A moderate risk for rip currents is in effect for the remainder of the South Florida Atlantic and Gulf beaches. Thunderstorms: Isolated thunderstorms will be possible today into this evening. In addition to occasional lightning, a few of these storms could become strong. Waterspouts: Showers and thunderstorms could produce isolated waterspouts over the South Florida local waters today into this evening. Wind: Showers and thunderstorms may produce isolated wind gusts to around 45 mph today into this evening. While unlikely, an isolated damaging wind gust cannot be ruled out, especially from the east coast metro areas toward the Lake Okeechobee region. Also, in the wake of a cold front, west to northwest winds may reach near 20 knots for tonight over the Atlantic waters well off the Palm Beach County coast, and also over the Gulf waters. Flooding: A small chance for very localized flooding could accompany showers and storms that repeatedly move over the same locations across urban areas of South Florida. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY Following the passage of the cold front, locally hazardous marine conditions could continue for the remainder of this week into this weekend. Elevated winds and seas will persist over the Atlantic and Gulf waters, with the potential for wave heights in the Gulf to build to around 7 feet on Thursday in association with increasing swells. Also, an elevated rip-current risk is expected to continue for the beaches of South Florida through the remainder of this week, especially for the Gulf beaches. In addition, in the wake of the cold front, a much cooler air mass will settle over South Florida later this week into this weekend. For Thursday night into Friday morning, Friday night into Saturday morning, and Saturday night into Sunday morning, wind-chill readings are expected to fall into the upper 30s to the 40s across interior and western sections of South Florida. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Widespread spotter activation is not anticipated, however individual spotters are encouraged to report high wind, flooding, and waterspouts to the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Miami.
