SOUTH FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 120 PM EDT TUE JUL 13 2004 .DISCUSSION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS WERE DEVELOPING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE OVER THE EASTERN COASTLINE OF SOUTH FLORIDA. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WHILE REMAINING OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS OF THE CWA...AS SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA WHICH WILL CAUSE THE STEERING FLOW TO BE FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST. FOR REST OF THE CWA...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE WEST COAST METRO AREAS BEFORE PUSHING INLAND AND BECOMING SCATTERED OVER THE INTERIOR REGIONS. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END EARLY THIS EVENING OVER THE INTERIOR REGIONS...AND HANG AROUND THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS...MAINLY OVER THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE CWA...BEFORE DISSIPATING EARLY TONIGHT. THERE COULD BE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER THE GULF AND ATLANTIC WATERS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND WITH A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW THE ACTIVITY COULD MOVE ONSHORE ALONG THE WEST COAST METRO REGIONS AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA. SO PLAN ON HAVING A 10% POPS FOR THE WEST COAST AND THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF THE CWA TONIGHT. THE LAST COUPLE OF RUNS IN THE SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM GFS MODELS SHOW THAT THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN US TO NOT DEEPEN AS MUCH AS EARLY FORECASTED...AND TO HAVE THE SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAIN OVER THE CWA REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. SO PLAN ON MAKING THE WINDS SOUTHERLY OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...AND SOUTHWEST OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THIS WILL SHIFT THE HIGHER SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA...BUT WITH THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE SHOULD REMAIN OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS. THEREFORE...THERE SHOULD STILL BE 40 TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR EACH DAY FOR THE EAST COAST. FOR THE WEST COAST REGIONS THERE SHOULD A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF ACTIVITY EACH DAY GOING UP TO A 40 TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE OVER THE INTERIOR REGIONS...DUE TO THE HEATING OF THE DAY AND THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE DEVELOPING AND PUSHING INLAND. .EXTENDED FORECAST...THE SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE CWA THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN US. THIS WILL KEEP THE WINDS SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST OVER THE CWA AND KEEP THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING OVER THE CWA...WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF ACTIVITY OVER THE NORTHEAST COAST REGIONS. && .MARINE...WINDS WILL BE MAINLY SOUTH/SOUTHWEST ALL MARINE ZONES WITH SPEEDS LESS THAN 15 KNOTS THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST. WINDS/SEAS HIGHER NEAR STORMS. SO NO HIGHLIGHTS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO FIRE WEATHER PROBLEMS...EXCEPT FOR FUELS REMAINING RATHER DRY SOME AREAS AND LIGHTNING CONTINUES TO BE A FIRE RISK.
