NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 11, 8:30 AM EST, 4 hours 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 930 AM EDT WED JUL 11 2001 CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE ON THE RIGHT TRACK AGAIN TODAY AS 12Z SOUNDING SHOWS SIMILAR CONDITIONS AS YESTERDAY'S SOUNDING. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS TODAY'S SOUNDING A LITTLE LESS UNSTABLE...BUT PW IS ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY HIGHER. ONE IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT TODAY IS THAT THE MORNING HOURS HAVE BEEN MOSTLY SUNNY OVER MOST OF THE AREA ALLOWING SUNSHINE TO HEAT UP THE LAND. THIS WILL PROVIDE THE ENERGY NEEDED FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION. SO 60 - 80 PERCENT POPS LOOK VERY GOOD AT THIS TIME. MEAN FLOW FROM THE WEST-SOUTHWEST MEANS SHWRS/TSTMS WILL START TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN SECTIONS THEN SPREAD EASTWARD AS THE DAY PROGRESSES... AFFECTING EASTERN METRO AREAS BY AFTERNOON. MEAN FLOW IS ALSO RATHER LIGHT SO EXPECT THE STORMS TO STILL MOVE SLOWLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN RATHER HEAVY RAINS IN SOME LOCATIONS ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. q .MIA...NONE. GARCIA
