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 Jun 14, 2:44 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 2:44 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 244 PM EDT Sun Jun 14 2020 .Discussion... Short Term (Today through Monday Night)... A moist unsettled pattern continues as a mid-level trough lingers over the region. Light easterly surface flow courtesy of a distant area of high pressure will permit sea breeze progress from the Atlantic coast while restraining the Gulf sea breeze a bit. The relatively light flow will not be the only factor to control the sea breeze but also the differential heating during the morning and early afternoon hours between the landmass of the peninsula and the neighboring body of water. Morning clouds certainly can play a role in delaying the diurnal heating which can have an impact on the sea breeze development. For this afternoon and evening, the lack of strong storm motion coupled with plentiful moisture to enable efficient rainfall processes will create a concern for urban flooding across much of South Florida. An area of higher moisture is pushing into the eastern and southern parts of the area with precipitable water values of 2+ inches. Once cells mature, the mid to upper level westerly flow could cause a change in storm direction with height. Anvils, which could feature enough ice to produce lightning, could end up spreading back eastward. Overnight, the sea breezes will retreat back towards the coast with the potential for any lingering convection to pass back over both coastal metro areas. Abundant moisture and instability over the Atlantic teamed with any boundaries including a land breeze induced trough along the coast could allow convection to continue over the waters and potentially along the coast. The Atlantic waters are highlighted in several ensemble members of high resolution guidance as having the potential for storms to sit around the coast through the night which could produce a risk for excessive rainfall beyond the afternoon. Atlantic showers and storms will again be a concern in the morning as they push ashore. The threat of waterspouts remains through a good portion of the period but the climatological favorability of the morning hours will be no different on Monday morning. As the day continues, boundary development and diurnal heating will once again be details to monitor. As the day continues, convection is expected to develop with a focus over the interior and Gulf coast. The more northeasterly than easterly flow may allow for some different storm motions and convective focus to shift slightly more towards portions of the Gulf coast, southern Everglades, and potentially portions of Miami-Dade County. Once again, any lingering convection in the evening and early overnight could reach back towards the coastal metro areas on Monday night. Long Term (Tuesday-Saturday)... No big changes for the overall forecast philosophy during the long term. The main players in model solutions continue to be a stalled/decaying frontal boundary with an associated low offshore the Carolinas, while a mid-upper level trough dominates the eastern seaboard. The southern-most portion of the boundary may extend into SoFlo by Tuesday night. Meanwhile, broad high pressure should remain well in place across the western Atlantic, and keeping SoFlo under a generally easterly flow throughout the period. The synoptic scenario will keep moisture advection from the Atlantic through the work week, with latest model soundings still showing PW values around 2 inches across the area through the period. Thus, expect the overall wet pattern to persist. POP/WX coverage remains mostly numerous for the afternoon periods, and favoring interior and southern portions of the CWA. This may be adjusted depending on the final evolution of the aforementioned boundary possibly extending into SoFlo, and the trends of features developing aloft. Better dynamic support could develop as an upper-level jet approaches the area. In addition, mid level temps cool down to around -8 to -9 celsius, which will provide additional enhanced potential for some of the storms to become strong or even severe at times. This scenario will continue to evolve and we'll adjust the forecast accordingly. All in all, expect a wet pattern for the rest of the work week and into next weekend, with potential for periods of heavy rain and localized flooding each day. Temperatures will remain near or just a little cooler than normals as cloud cover increases. && .Marine... An unsettled pattern will linger into next week. Any showers or thunderstorms could bring locally hazardous marine conditions due to rough seas, gusty wind, and possibly even waterspouts. && .Beach Forecast... Lightening easterly flow will allow the risk of rip currents to diminish this week along the Atlantic beaches. && .Aviation... Unsettled pattern through much of the period with convection possible at each terminal. Periods of sub-VFR likely with brief bouts of IFR/LIFR possible at terminals directly impacted by convection. Generally easterly wind flow except for a Gulf sea breeze at APF and any directional variability with convection. Overnight Atlantic showers will give way to diurnal sea breeze induced convection again on Monday. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
