Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
235 PM EDT Sun Apr 11 2021

...Severe Thunderstorm Watch Until 8 PM...

.SHORT TERM...

Through Monday...

The shortwave responsible for initiating the MCS moving through the
region today will pivot through the Southeast and into the western
Atlantic through tomorrow. The synoptic cold front is forecast to
pass through south Florida with the wave passage tomorrow, clearing
out any remnant showers by late in the afternoon.

Showers are developing locally as strong southwesterly flow
transports moisture over the differential heating boundary caused by
leading stratiform from the upstream MCS. Strong theta-e advection
and robust destabilization is priming the region for severe
convection as the leading edge of the MCS' cold pool reaches south
Florida. Scattered, more discrete storms that form along the heating
boundary could produce large hail and damaging winds where favorable
thermodynamics intersect with increasing shear. As the main line of
storms passes, the main threat will be damaging winds, but embedded
circulations along the line could produce a tornado or two as well.
A bit after sunset, the line should clear our land areas with just
areas of light to moderate rain remaining.

Tomorrow's forecast will likely be messied by a remnant MCV or at
least a modified airmass associated with the trailing part of the
MCS that will advect into the region overnight. Generally speaking
there's more uncertainty in the forecast for tomorrow, but there's
certainly a potential for a few storms along the front, and with
favorable lapse rates and strong deep-layer shear, a damaging wind
gust or some hail cannot be ruled out. For now, the threat appears
much lower than for today.

.LONG TERM...

No meaningful changes to the extended forecast. Previous
discussion follows.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 314 AM EDT Sun Apr 11 2021)

Tuesday and Wednesday...

High pressure swiftly builds back into the region, restoring
drier conditions for at least the first portion of the extended
period. Furthermore, with the axis of the ridge sliding to our
east, flow across the area should also quickly reorient out of the
east and then southeast by mid-week. The addition of an onshore
component will aid in keeping seasonable to slightly above normal
temperatures around through the forecast period.

Thursday through Saturday...

Winds continue to veer out of the south to southwest around late
week, enhancing moisture across South Florida ahead of the next
frontal boundary. Guidance currently depicts the front briefly
becoming stationary across Central FL by the end of week and then
oozing across South Florida through the weekend as a digging
shortwave trough gives the boundary the southward momentum it
needs. Therefore, an uptick in rain and thunder chances is
expected, mainly for the Lake region, east coast metro, and
adjacent Atlantic waters each afternoon. Although, confidence
remains rather low regarding the specifics with the lack in
consensus between global models the past few forecast cycles.
Thus, have not strayed from guidance, keeping generally 20-30%
POPs during this time. Will continue to monitor how the pattern
evolves and examine the finer details as they come into better
focus.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

In general VFR is expected through the remainder of the day,
however, IFR/LIFR restrictions are likely during periods of heavy
rain and thunderstorms that are expected at all terminals this
afternoon/evening. Gusty southwest winds, turning northerly and
remaining gusty are expected through the day in advance of, and
behind a line of storms. In the wake of the main line of storms,
periods of rain and MVFR ceilings should be expected through the
night and possibly into the morning tomorrow.

&&

.MARINE...

A large area of thunderstorms is forecast to move across our Lake
and Atlantic waters this afternoon through the evening. Just ahead
of these storms, but mostly in their wake, Advisory conditions are
now forecast. Winds will gradually subside through the night, likely
falling below headline levels by morning Monday.

&&

.BEACHES...

There is a high risk of rip currents along Atlantic and Gulf beaches
through late tonight.
