Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
308 PM EDT Mon Jun 29 2020

.Short Term...

Late Afternoon through Tuesday...

Deep layer ridging will center over the Gulf of Mexico as a series
of migratory perturbations track south through the Bahamas. Florida
will remain along the western fringe of these weak perturbations,
however a slight uptick in convective coverage is expected. While
the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) has been a limiting factor lately, the
passing waves juxtaposed with inland advancing sea- breeze forcing
should bring a slight uptick in thunderstorm development primarily
over inland areas each afternoon. Relatively steep mid-level lapse
rates associated with the SAL suggest the potential for a few robust
updrafts in the deeper thunderstorm cores, with a thermodynamic
environment supportive of strong, to perhaps locally damaging,
downburst wind gusts. Outside of convection related concerns, heat
remains the biggest weather related hazard through the short term
forecast period. Highs today and Tuesday should climb well into the
90s (perhaps even eclipsing 100 over inland southwest Florida on
Tuesday), with lows mostly in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Maximum
Heat Index readings should near or exceed Heat Advisory criteria
once again Tuesday afternoon but there is some uncertainty as to the
duration. Will hold off on a heat advisory at the moment, but we'll
continue to evaluate this concern going forward.

.Long Term...

Tuesday Night through Friday...
Mid-level subtropical high pressure will continue to weaken and
shift westward into the Gulf of Mexico, allowing for light
northwesterly flow aloft to become established across South
Florida. In the lower-levels, light/variable flow will prevail due
to a western Atlantic ridge axis extending across the Florida
peninsula. While low-level moisture should remain adequate across
the area (~1.5 inches), deep-layer moisture will be slightly lower
than average for this time of year, potentially limiting
convective coverage across South Florida through mid to late week.
Highest PoPs are ~40 percent through Friday with the highest
chances across the interior sections/Lake Region of South FL. With
that said, isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will
be possible each afternoon thanks to mesoscale effects, i.e. the
sea breeze.

Maximum temperatures will remain slightly above average, with
mid-upper 90s across the western portions of South Florida and
lower 90s across the eastern portions. Heat indices continue to
soar into the triple digits areawide with values near the 105 range.

Saturday through Early Next Week...

Global models continue to depict that the steering flow aloft
will transition to westerly/southwesterly as a mid-level impulse
approaches South Florida from the northwest. The GFS depicts this
feature with a higher amplitude and more progressive than the
ECMWF, including a series of vort maxima sweeping through the
state. Regardless on which model perseveres, the overall trend
will be increasing rain and thunderstorm chances across South
Florida this weekend into early next week.

At this time, it appears that the deepest moisture and heavier
rainfall will remain over the northern portions of South Florida,
but of course we will continue to monitor as we go into the week.

Like the weekdays, weekend maximum temperatures will remain
slightly above average, with mid-upper 90s across the western
portions of South Florida and lower 90s across the eastern
portions. Heat indices near 105.

&&

.Marine...
Benign conditions are expected over the next few days outside of
isolated showers and thunderstorms, which may bring locally higher
winds, seas, and potential waterspouts.

&&

.Aviation...
Afternoon shower/storms are expected primarily over inland areas.
Areas around APF/OPF/TMB will have the greatest chance of
experiencing this activity, reflected by VCTS. Otherwise, VFR
conditions are expected with southeast winds generally 10 kt or
less veering to southerly and southwesterly -- first at APF this
afternoon in association with the inland advance of the sea-breeze
boundary from the Gulf.
