Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
327 AM EDT Mon Aug 24 2020

.Short Term (Today through Tuesday)...

Models show a strong ridge over the area. This ridge will steer
Laura away from South Florida. However, Laura will serve to
tighten the pressure gradient across the area, bringing breezy
conditions for at least Monday, maybe Tuesday. Any convection will
be mostly diurnally driven, and due to the breezy conditions,
quick moving. The latest sounding shows fairly warm temperatures
at 500mb with a reading of -4C. PWATs are above 2 inches, and
NCAPE is around.2. The freezing level is fairly high at 16800ft.
Models show the area as mostly dry, with generally less than an
inch of rainfall for any given location. This would be mainly due
to the speed the convective cells will be moving, which should be
somewhere around 20kts.

By Tuesday, the weather begins to switch back to a more typical
summer like pattern, with the sea breeze being the main focus of
convection. With the flow out of the east to east southeast, the
main focus of convection should be in the interior and Gulf coast.
There is a possibility that there could be somewhat less activity
than forecast due to general subsidence around Laura. So, much of
the forecast will depend greatly on the exact track the storm
takes and how much it grows once it is in the Gulf of Mexico.

.Long Term (Tuesday Night through the Weekend)...

By Tuesday Night, Laura will continue through the south/central
GOMEX with a gradual turn to the northwest by early Wednesday
morning as the system nears the western side of the Atlantic High,
followed by a more northward motion after that. Winds will
finally start to wane Tuesday night, though deep easterly to
southeasterly flow will remain in place for the remainder of the
work week before veering from the south/southwest by the weekend
as the ridge axis dips south.

For the work week, expect a return to the typical diurnal
summertime pattern across the region with scattered showers and
thunderstorms developing each day along the east and west coast
sea breezes and nocturnal convection across the local waters. The
greatest chances of showers and thunderstorms will be located
across the interior and west coast sections during the afternoon
and evening hours.

By this weekend, models are hinting at a pocket of drier air (sub
1.5 inch PW's) over the Florida Keys/Florida Straits area,
skirting over the far southern tip of the CWA. Due to the
uncertainty and the fact that it is almost entirely out of the
reign of South Florida, kept normal PoPs for this time of year;
however, if this dry picket does shift more to the north, South
Florida may see some below normal PoPs.

High temps will be in the low to mid 90s through the rest of the
week with overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s and around 80 for
the east coast. Heat indices continue to soar into the triple
digits with potential Heat Advisory temps mid-late week.

&&

.Marine...
Hazardous marine conditions will continue through tonight due to
the breezy conditions causes by the tightened pressure gradient
caused by TS Laura. Once Laura has begun to move away from the
area on Tuesday, and the gradient relaxes some, conditions should
improve rapidly. There is a Small Craft Advisory out for the Gulf
and Atlantic waters through 06z Tuesday. After that, seas and the
wind should subside enough to allow the advisory so expire.
However, there is a possibility conditions will remain hazardous
longer than expected, so it is important that mariners remain
aware of the current forecasts. For the remainder of the week, the
area returns to a more typical summertime pattern.

&&

.Aviation...
The weather is mostly dry, with breezy conditions as Tropical
Storm Laura remains well to the south. A few quick moving SHRA may
bring very brief period of higher wind gusts and a slight chance
of MVFR to IFR conditions. However, they should not last very
long, and is not in any of the TAFs at this time. Tomorrow should
see an increase in convective activity, however, models have
backed off on the amount of convection, so the forecast is
currently calling for mostly dry weather through the TAF period.

&&

.Beach Forecast...
A breezy east wind is causing enhanced risk of rip currents for
both the Gulf and Atlantic beaches. With the easterly flow, the
risk is higher on the Atlantic side, thus a High Risk of Rip
Currents Statement is in effect through at least 00z Wednesday.

Also, with a breezy east wind, and high tides running higher than
normal, some minor coastal flooding is possible along the Atlantic
coast today.
