Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
1015 AM EDT Mon Jun 28 2021

.UPDATE...
Showers and storms have been developing over the Atlantic waters
this morning and moving over the east coast. The bulk of the
activity has been over Miami-Dade County with high rainfall rates
and training leading to localized flooding along over central
portions of the area. A little higher coverage than what hi-res
models had been depicting. Therefore, have increased some POPs
for current observations and radar trends. The pattern will
generally transition towards the interior and Gulf Coast this
afternoon and evening. Strong storms will be possible along the
Gulf coast with lapse rates improving to 6.7C/km and MLCAPE values
approaching 3000 J./kg. This will allow the potential for strong
wet microburst over the area.

Flooding already a concern over portions of Miami-Dade County will
continue to be possible with high rainfall rates and any training
of storms throughout the rest of the day.

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 730 AM EDT Mon Jun 28 2021)

AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...
Easterly winds continue to prevail. Showers with an isolated
thunderstorm this morning over the Atlantic moving over east coast
terminals. Storms will progress over the interior and Gulf coast
this afternoon and evening. Brief periods of low vis and cigs will
be possible if a shower or storm move directly over the terminals.
Timing of restrictions once confidence increases will be handled
with amendments. Showers for the east coast again towards end of
the period.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 233 AM EDT Mon Jun 28 2021)

DISCUSSION...

Short term (Today through Tuesday):

Latest upper level analysis shows strong ridge of high pressure
from low to mid levels off the mid Atlantic. On the southern
periphery, weak mid/upper level low currently approaching GA/NE
Florida with inverted trough of low pressure dislodged below it to
the east through the low levels and its sfc reflection around
30N/98W. This is the system NHC is currently monitoring. A trough
of low pressure extends south of these features through the low
levels across the Bahamas with tropical wave in the Caribbean
moving west from eastern Cuba south at this time.

Ahead of weak trough of low pressure across the Bahamas, total
blended precipitable water satellite product and water vapor imagery
show drier layer/airmass with its leading edge across NE portions of
our forecast area (Lake Okee/Palm Beach). The weak trough or low
pressure to the east is forecast to move across the region today but
while it does so, activity will remain somewhat suppressed in terms
of intensity ahead of it today across eastern and northeast portions
of forecast area due to aforementioned drier layer aloft and
subsidence ahead of the trough. Activity across east coast should be
scattered at most today particularly in the morning but again
somewhat suppressed. Some of it could linger into the afternoon. By
tonight and tomorrow, the trough will be to our west which in
combination with tropical wave to the south passing our longitude
should result in deep layer moisture increasing late today through
tomorrow. Bottom line, chances of rain will start to increase today
with conditions becoming wetter by tomorrow. Best chances overnight
and morning will be along east coast and afternoon/evening interior
and west as mean flow remains east southeast. Thermodynamic and
kinematic fields remain unimpressive with low/mid level lapse rates
oscillating around 6 deg C/Km. A couple of strong storms cannot be
ruled out but best chances of that would be interior west.
Occasional to frequent lightning strikes, gusty winds, and brief
periods of heavy rain are the main concerns.

Given wetter pattern gradually returning over next two days, max
temps will be slightly below normal with overnight lows around or
may be slightly above normal.

Long term (Wednesday through Sunday):

Models depict Wednesday as the wettest day of the persisting wet
pattern for much of the long term. Deep layer ridging dominates the
west Atlantic to start the long term, with a sfc ridge just north of
SoFlo. This will continue to support deep moisture advection from
the Atlantic and the Caribbean with steady moderate easterly flow
through most of the forecast period. Moisture remains abundant on
Wednesday with model PWATs near 2 inches and POPs in the 70-80
percent range. Thus, numerous showers and thunderstorms are still
anticipated, especially during the afternoon hours. Primary threats
will be gusty winds, lightning, and potential for localized flooding
with the heaviest downpours. Very similar weather scenario expected
on Thursday with numerous showers in the afternoon.

Under the overall synoptic scenario, the east coast sea breeze
should dominate, which will keep the best chances for deep
convection over the western half of SoFlo. Outflow boundaries may
also become focal points for localized convection.

For the weekend, an upper level high is depicted by models over much
of the SE CONUS, and gradually sliding southward into the peninsula.
This may allow for slightly drier air to begin filtering into SoFlo,
and reduce POPs into the 40-50 percent category through Sunday. The
high will push the aforementioned dominant ridge further ENE, which
veers winds over SoFlo to a more southerly flow. Thus, highest POPs
should reside over the northern half of the CWA each afternoon.

Models are also hinting at the potential to have a shortwave trough
approach the area from the SE by the end of the long term. But it is
too early to determine if this feature will have any significant
impacts in the long range forecast. So for now, the progress of this
feature will continue to be closely monitored in upcoming guidance.

In terms of temperatures, and despite the early active weather
pattern, afternoon highs are expected to remain on the warm side.
Max values are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s Wed and Thu,
then warm up into the low 90s for the weekend as the drier air mass
reaches the area.

MARINE... East to southeast winds much of the week around 10-15
kts at times and mostly in the 5-10 kts range well inside bays and
intracoastals. However, showers and storms remain in the forecast
through much of the period at times for all of the South Florida
waters with lightning, gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and elevated
seas being the primary hazards around storms.

BEACHES...
The risk of rip currents will be decreasing during the week as
winds gradually subside and turn more from the SE along the
Atlantic beaches. That said, the risk is likely to remain at least
moderate today and tomorrow and linger through mid week for Palm
Beach beaches as a wind swell comes down the coast associated with
the ENE fetch from the high pressure ridge to the north of the
past few days. Rip Current risk will continue to decrease towards
the latter part of the week.
