Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Miami FL
726 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021

.AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...
The weather across South Florida will be unsettle today with
showers and thunderstorms. A few of the storms could become strong
to severe and will due tempo groups when need be for these storms
today. Winds will be south/southeast over most of the TAF sites,
except for KTMB and KFXE where it will be more south/southwest.
The ceiling and vis will also fall down into the MVFR or even IFR
conditions with any shower or thunderstorm passage over the TAF
sites today.

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 305 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021)

.STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY...

SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday)...

Model solutions and sfc analyses data depict a complex synoptic
setup unfolding over the eastern GOMEX and the southern half of the
peninsula. Ensembles and HRRs show a broad sfc low developing just
west of Tampa and getting fairly close to our NW areas. Models push
this low into the northern half of the peninsula and then migrating
NE into the eastern coastal waters of the state by Saturday.
Meanwhile, upper level dynamic support looks a little better for
this afternoon as a local jet moves through the central portions of
the peninsula. This will further enhance lifting and divergence
aloft, which will then translate into more favorable conditions for
stronger and longer-lasting cells. At the sfc, a frontal boundary is
expected to move into SoFlo today as its parent mid level trough
moves into the eastern seaboard. Latest models keep the boundary
lingering over the area as a semi-stationary front through the
overnight hours, then finally pushing south and into the Florida
Keys by Saturday morning.

The described synoptic scenario will result in a rather wet and
potentially convective weather pattern for the next 24 hours with
best chances for strong, or even a few severe cells this afternoon
and early evening. Latest MFL and model sounding data suggest PWATs
likely reaching 2 inches or higher today, along with increasing
moisture advection from the Caribbean as winds veer to the SE as a
result of the aforementioned low and the approaching sfc boundary.
Potential for urban flooding will surely be a concern, especially in
locations where training of storms could bring several consecutive
bouts of heavy rain.

In addition, with the aforementioned dynamic support aloft, modest
bulk shear values, and adequate lapse rate profiles, can not rule
out the possibility of a tornadic storm or two during the peak of
the event. SoFlo remains under a marginal risk for severe weather
through the evening hours.

In terms of coastal concerns, a coastal flood statement remains in
effect as the King Tides will combine with a NE swell to increase
the potential for localized minor coastal flooding through
Saturday.

Once the front/low/upper jet clear the area sometime by Saturday
late morning to early afternoon, lingering moisture may still
provide enough fuel for isolated to scattered showers. Then, a drier
and cooler air mass is expected to descend upon the region beginning
Saturday afternoon and evening. This will cool down a bit afternoon
highs, mainly upper 70s to near 80, or about 5-6 degrees cooler
compared to this afternoon.

LONG TERM...

Saturday Night through Friday

The second half of the weekend will feature gusty north/
northwesterly flow in the wake of a passing cold front, with winds
gradually shifting to more of a northeasterly component by the
middle of the week. High pressure will build in early next week,
resulting in a much drier air mass along with cooler temperatures.
High temperatures early next week will generally range from the
upper 70s to the lower 80s across most of the region. Low
temperatures in the early morning hours of Sunday and Monday will
be the coolest of the season so far as they will drop into the
lower to mid 50s across Glades and Hendry Counties to the lower to
mid 60s across portions of the east coast.

As winds gradually veer to more of a east/northeasterly component
towards the middle of the week, temperatures across the region will
slowly begin to return to seasonable values. This will also allow
for a slow and gradual moisture return as well, which will introduce
a slight chance for showers back into the forecast for the middle to
end of next week, with the greatest preliminary rainfall chances
being towards the end of next week. High temperatures will gradually
trend upwards, as temperatures in the low to mid 80s can be expected
across the region.

AVIATION(06Z TAFS)...

Overnight convection over the Collier coastal waters is now sliding
into the coastline and will continue to affect APF through the rest
of the morning hours. AMDS and TEMPOS will likely be necessary for
APF as the event progresses. Weather activity should pick up late
this morning and into the afternoon hours, with widespread RA/TS
expected today. Sub-VFR likely during the period, with IFR/LIFR
possible at any terminal directly impacted by convection. E to SE
wind flow outside convection.

MARINE...

Winds will gradually increase ahead of an approaching front, which
will move across the coastal waters late tonight and into Saturday
morning. Mostly SCEC winds are expected today and tonight, but SCA
level winds are likely for the offshore Collier county waters.
Advisory level seas may also be possible along the Atlantic Gulf
stream waters behind the front as northerly winds interact with the
gulf stream.

Widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms will develop today
over much of the coastal waters, with a concern for strong storms
developing ahead of the front. Some beach erosion is also possible,
mainly over east coast locations this weekend with the arrival of a
northerly swell.

BEACHES...

A moderate risk of rip currents is expected for the Palm Beaches
today due to a combination of a northerly swell and increasing
onshore flow. A larger NNE swell along with higher seas is expected
to reach the Atlantic coast during the weekend. This should result
in periods of high risk for rip currents over the Palm beaches, and
a moderate to high risk for Broward and Miami Dade. For the Collier
county beaches, a moderate risk of rip currents is likely for
Saturday behind the front.

Also, the King tides should also arrive this weekend. At this time,
the models are showing 0.3 to 0.5 feet above the forecast high
tides. This could lead to possible minor flooding along the usual
vulnerable coastal areas at times of high tide. Will continue to
monitor latest guidance as the week progresses.

...Palm Beaches: High Risk of Rip Currents...
...A Few Strong to Severe Storms Possible...
...Hazardous Marine Conditions Developing This Weekend...

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

Rip currents: There is a high risk of rip currents along the Palm
Beaches and a moderate risk for the Broward beaches. Swim only at
guarded beaches and heed the advice of the beach patrols.

Thunderstorms: Numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms are
expected today and tonight as a cold front moves across south
Florida. Some storms may be strong to severe with damaging winds,
large hail, and cannot rule out a tornado or two in the strongest
storms.

Waterspouts: A few waterspouts are possible across the South Florida
Coastal waters.

Coastal Flooding: Minor coastal flooding is expected along the
Atlantic Coast during high tide.

Heavy Rainfall: Localized flooding is possible, especially locations
the receive multiple thunderstorms over a short period of time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

An elevated risk of rip currents will continue into the weekend,
especially along the Atlantic Beaches.

Hazardous marine conditions for small craft are forecast to develop
this weekend across portions of the South Florida waters behind the
strong cold front. The greatest concern is for the Atlantic Gulf
Stream waters and the offshore Gulf waters.

Minor coastal flooding will be possible along the Atlantic,
especially during high tide on Saturday due to continued
northeasterly swell along with King Tides.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed. Please relay any information about
observed severe weather to the NWS while following all local, state,
and CDC guidelines.
