Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
Issued by National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
336 PM EDT Thu May 6 2021

.SHORT TERM (Rest of Today through Friday)...
19Z water vapor and H4 RAP analysis showing a highly amplified
upper level pattern has evolved over the CONUS...featuring sharp
ridging over the inter- mountain west and downstream troughing to
the east of the MS Valley. Florida finds itself within the base
of this trough...with an embedded shortwave passing by this
evening. This shortwave energy will help to propel a late season
cold front down out of central Florida into our region overnight
and Friday morning before stalling over the Florida Straits.

The atmosphere remains quite unstable this afternoon across south
Florida in the pre-frontal environment. Visible satellite imagery
shows well defined east and west coast seabreeze boundaries well
established, and both starting to kick off the anticipated storms.
Over the next few hours we should see the west coast boundary
evolve eastward and eventually interact with the eastern sea-
breeze along/near the I-95 corridor. With this forecast philosophy
in mind...storms should also consolidate with time toward the
eastern Metro area. This evolution is in fairly good agreement
among the model consensus and forecast storm evolution follows
the 12Z HREF fairly close. I-95 corridor counties remained
outlooked in a marginal risk for severe weather through this
evening by the storm prediction center...in agreement with where
the most robust surface convergence is likely to occur in the
hours to come.

Storm will evolve offshore into the Atlantic and/or dissipate
within a few hours of sunset...leaving the region to see a mostly
dry frontal passage late tonight.

This "cold front" will really be primarily responsible for
bringing some drier air to the region the next 48-60 hours. This
time of year it is difficult to really cool things off much, and
temperatures will again be up near 90 for most locations on
Friday. Some leftover residual moisture over coastal Dade/Broward
counties and enhanced convergence of the stalled frontal boundary
and sea-breeze may be enough to support a few late day storms,
although coverage and updraft intensity potential looks less than
today.

.LONG TERM (Saturday through Next Thursday)...
The upper level pattern flattens out quickly as we head into the
weekend and the eastern trough ejects over the north Atlantic.
Surface high pressure will exist from the eastern Atlantic to the
Florida peninsula and eastern Gulf of Mexico under this zonal flow
aloft...keeping our weather seasonable and mainly dry.
Much of the early and middle portion of next week look warm and
seasonably humid. Any significant shortwave energy in the synoptic
westerlies looks to stay generally north of the region, however,
slight enhancements in lift may promote an afternoon or evening
through Wednesday. At this point, none of this activity looks
organized or widespread.
Still a ways out, but some indications of another more significant
amplification to the longwave pattern late in the week over the
eastern conus that could result in another late season front and
more organized thunderstorm activity by Thursday or Friday. Still
plenty of time to watch the pattern evolve and adjust the
forecast.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...
The first round of convection has developed around PBI with an
additional round expected this afternoon/evening around the east
coast terminals. IFR/LIFR impacts with strong wind gusts and hail
cannot be ruled out at terminals that are directly impacted though
confidence is not high enough to restrict with short-fused AMDs
likely. Convection should diminish after sunset into the
overnight with light wind returning. Sea breeze formation is
expected again on Friday with convection possible again later.

&&

.MARINE...
Southerly winds shift northwest late tonight and Friday morning
before local sea-breezes again shift winds onshore near the coast
in the afternoon. A northeast wind flow develops for Saturday and
then easterly by Sunday as high pressure builds north of the
region. The early portion of next week will feature mainly
southeasterly winds as the high pressure area slides eastward
into the Atlantic. Winds may approach cautionary levels at times
Sunday into early next week.

...Strong to Isolated Severe Storms Possible This Afternoon...
...Heat indices 100 To 105 Degrees This Afternoon...
...Localize Flooding Possible East Coast This Afternoon...

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

Thunderstorms: Strong to isolated severe thunderstorms are possible
across the east coast metro area as well as portions of the interior
this afternoon and this evening. The strongest storms could produce
strong gusty winds, hail, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning.
Isolated tornadoes cannot be rule out over the east coast metro
areas

Wind: The strongest thunderstorms could contain wind gusts up to 60
mph this afternoon and this evening especially over the east coast
metro areas.

Hail: The strongest thunderstorms could contain hail up to quarter
sized this afternoon and this evening.

Flooding: Localized flooding will be possible across the east coast
metro areas this afternoon and this evening due to heavy downpours
from thunderstorms potentially moving across the same areas.

Tornadoes: An isolated tornado is possible over the east coast metro
areas with the strongest storms.

Temperatures: Highs today will be in the lower to mid 90s over the
interior and east coast metro areas with high humidity. This will
allow for the heat indices to get up to 100 to 105 degrees over these
areas this afternoon.

Waterspouts: An isolated waterspout is possible in showers and
thunderstorms over Lake Okeechobee as well as the Atlantic waters.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A chance of thunderstorms will remain in place on Friday mainly over
the eastern half of South Florida. Gusty winds and lightning will be
the primary hazards with the strongest thunderstorms.

The risk of rip currents will begin to increase again this upcoming
weekend across the Atlantic Coast beaches as east to southeasterly
flow increases.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation: Widespread spotter activation is not
anticipated, however, individual spotters are encouraged to report
high wind, hail, and flooding to the National Weather Service
Forecast Office in Miami.
