SOUTH FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 220 PM EDT SUN AUG 22 2004 .DISCUSSION...SURFACE RIDGE LIES JUST NORTH OF THE LOCAL AREA...CONTINUING OUR WEAK WIND FLOW. SEA BREEZE INDUCED CONVECTION...NOT SURPRISINGLY...IS NOW ONGOING. BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL BE THE PREVAILING PATTERN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH ISOLATED MORNING ACTIVITY EAST...THEN TSTORMS DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH MAXIMUM COVERAGE OVER INTERIOR SOUTH FLORIDA LATE IN THE DAY. MODELS SHOW DIFFERING PLACEMENTS OF THE SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...BUT THE CONSENSUS SEEMS TO BE IT WILL MOVE FURTHER SOUTH OVER SOUTH FLORIDA OR EVEN THE KEYS. THE LATEST RUN OF THE GFS WAS QUITE DIFFERENT THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...SHOWING THE RIDGE AXIS AS FAR SOUTH AS THE KEYS AND EVEN THE FLORIDA STRAITS...PLACING THE LOCAL AREA IN SW OR EVEN WESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW. OPTED TO STAY THE COURSE WITH OUR GOING WINDS AS THE NEXT RUN COULD GO BACK AGAIN TO PLACING THE RIDGE FURTHER NORTH. AT ANY RATE...REGARDLESS OF THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE RIDGE...THE FLOW WILL BE LIGHT...LEADING TO SEA BREEZES ON BOTH COASTS...MAXIMIZING ACTIVITY INLAND EACH AFTERNOON. ANOTHER CHANGE WITH THE LATEST GFS IS THE DEPICTION OF AN INVERTED TROUGH DEVELOPING EAST OF THE PENINSULA TUE...WITH THE TROUGH MOVING WESTWARD ACROSS FLORIDA LATE WED INTO THU. LATER SHIFTS CAN SEE IF THERE IS ANY CONSISTENCY AT ALL WITH REGARDS TO THIS FEATURE. AGAIN...WILL STAY THE COURSE WITH DIURNAL ACTIVITY PREVAILING. AFTER ALL...THE TROUGH LOOKS RATHER WEAK ANYWAYS...AND RIDGING WILL BE DOMINATING AT MID AND UPPER LEVELS...SO NO SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY WOULD BE EXPECTED WITH THIS FEATURE. WILL MAINTAIN HIGH END SCATTERED POPS AT THIS TIME THROUGH MID WEEK. && .MARINE...MARINE CAMS SHOW EXCELLENT BOATING CONDITIONS. THESE SAME CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP BY ABOUT 5 KNOTS BY WEEKS END...AS THE SFC RIDGE LIFTS FURTHER NORTH. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
