SOUTH FLORIDA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI 230 PM EDT FRI JUN 13 2003 .TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT... 12Z MFL SOUNDING HAD DRIED OUT A BIT AND STABILIZED A BIT FROM 24 HOURS AGO... POSSIBLY A REFLECTION OF A BALL OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A TUTT LOW, AND A TROPICAL WAVE, EXTENDING FROM E CUBA TO THE EASTERN BAHAMAS. WHILE THE MODELS GENERALLY KEEP THE UPPER LOW WEAK AND ABOUT STATIONARY, THE TROPICAL WAVE WILL LIKELY MOVE WEST INTO SOUTH FLORIDA SATURDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING, THE OUT INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO BY SUNDAY. IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS DANGEROUS TO SIMPLY PROJECT THE AREA OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE WILL HOLD UP AS IT MOVES ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA, BECAUSE MANY TIMES, WAVES MOVE ACROSS WITH LITTLE OR NO INCREASE IN CONVECTION. WE BELIEVE AT THGIS TIME THAT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WOULD BE TO GO FOR A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF SHOWER/TSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG THE EAST COAST, AND LEAVE POPS THE SAME ELSEWHERE, AS INTERIOR AND WEST COAST ZONES ARE ALREADY HIGHER THAN ALONG THE EAST COAST. EXCEPT FOR THIS SLIGHT INCREASE IN AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION ALONG THE EAST COAST, THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL REMAIN VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE. .EXTENDED MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... EXPECT LITTLE CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS NORTH OF SOUTH FLORIDA, AND THE LOW-LEVEL SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW CONTINUING. EXPECT A WEST COAST SEA BREEZE EACH AFTERNOON. BY FRIDAY, EXTENDED GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE RIDGE MIGRATING OVER THE STRAITS, WITH THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW PATTERN BECOMING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST. THUS WILL INCREASE THE POPS ALONG THE EAST COAST FOR FRIDAY, WITH MORE OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING VARIATY EXPECTED. .MARINE... LIGHT EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW, WITH AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES, WILL LIKELY PREVAIL TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SEAS WILL BE LESS THAN 3 FEET EVERYWHERE. .FIRE WEATHER... NO PROBLEMS ARE ANTICIPATED.
