AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 300 PM EDT MON JUL 2 2001 SYNOPTIC SITUATION...UPPER LEVEL H25 OMEGA RIDGE IS BEING PINCHED AT THE BASE BY THE ADVANCING UPPER LOW FROM THE EAST. RIDGE NOW IS CENTERED OVER NORTH FLORIDA AT 12Z WITH THE BROAD CIRCULATION CENTER OF THE UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR SAN SALVADOR IN THE EASTERN BAHAMAS. DRY AIR ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW IS NOW ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA BUT WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TODAY WE HAVE NOT THUS FAR SEEN THE DECREASE IN DIURNAL CONVECTION THAT MOS GUIDANCE IS SHOWING. IN FACT ITS A LOT LIKE YESTERDAY. WILL WATCH RADAR TRENDS FOR WEST COAST CONCENTRATION IN THE AFTERNOON WITH THIS TYPE PATTERN AND MAINTAIN CURRENT FORECAST BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMAL...BUT NOT ZERO...POPS FOR TUESDAY. AT MID AND LOW LEVELS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REMAINS ALONG 30N. AT H8...WITH A SOUTHEAST 20 KT WIND AT SANTO DOMINGO AND A NORTHEAST 10 KT WIND AT NASSAU...ONE COULD ALMOST IMAGINE A SURFACE TROUGH/WAVE FROM THE SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS ACROSS WESTERN HAITI MOVING WEST. THE MODELS HINT AT THIS FEATURE BUT ITS TOUGH TO SEE IT AT THE SURFACE YET. THE AVN MODEL IS FASTER BY ABOUT 12 HOURS MOVING THIS WAVE TO SOUTH FLORIDA WITH THE ASSOCIATED INCREASE IN MOISTURE. AFTER COORD CALL WITH KEY WEST...THANKS...WILL TIME THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE WITH THE SLOWER ETA MODEL BUT WILL TREND HIGHER POPS BEGINNING TUESDAY NIGHT. MARINE...AVN IS MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE TIMING OF THE APPROACHING WAVE AS WELL AS WIND SPEEDS. WILL NOT GO QUITE SO HIGH AS THE AVN AT PRESENT...BUT WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE WINDS AND SEAS BEGINNING TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE WAVE MOVES INTO THE COASTAL WATERS. EXTENDED...AFTER THE WAVE MOVES THROUGH...SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR RETURNS TO SOUTH FLORIDA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE NEXT WAVE MOVES ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA SATURDAY...WHILE WHATS LEFT OF A FRONT ENTERS NORTHEAST FLORIDA ON SATURDAY BEFORE DYING OUT. SO EXPECT A BIT BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL POPS FOR FRIDAY AND BACK TO CLIMATOLOGY OR A LITTLE ABOVE INTO THE WEEKEND. LITTLE VARIATION IN TEMPERATURES. 50 PRELIM NUMBERS... MIA BT 0809/090 078/089 078 2336 PBI BT 077/089 077/088 076 2336 APF BT 074/090 073/089 074 4425 .MIA...NONE.
