AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 1000 PM EDT THU APR 7 2005 .UPDATE...LINE OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY EXTEND FROM THE NORTHERN PART OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE SW TO JUST NW OF NAPLES. THIS LINE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AT AROUND 20 KNOTS. THIS LINE OF ACTIVITY SHOULD REACH THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY AROUND 2 AM AS SCATTERED ACTIVITY DEVELOPS IN ADVANCE OF THE LINE. ONGOING ZFP HAS NUMEROUS COVERAGE AND THIS LOOKS GOOD. HAVE UPPED THE WINDS AND SEAS A BIT OVER THE ATLANTIC WITH THE MARINE OBS SHOWING AROUND 20 KNOTS WITH SOME GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS. .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...PREFRONTAL SQUALL LINE EVIDENT FROM NORTH FLORIDA THROUGH THE SOUTH CENTRAL GULF MAKING ITS WAY EASTWARD. MEANWHILE GRADIENT FLOW OVER SOUTH FLORIDA IS HOLDING 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MORNING SOUNDING SHOWED A PRONOUNCED CAP AROUND 900MB. THIS HAS BEEN LIMITING SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS FAIRLY CLEAR SKIES OVER THE SOUTHEAST GULF WITH ONLY A FEW CU STREAKS FORMING OVER THE ATLANTIC AND SOUTH FLORIDA. REMOVED RAIN CHANCES FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AS A RESULT. TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...THE LINE WILL ADVANCE INTO SOUTH FLORIDA PRIMARILY AFTER MIDNIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW MODERATE CAPE VALUES FOR THE OVERNING HOURS IN RESPONSE TO COLDER AIR WORKING INTO THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE, ALTHOUGH THE LINE WILL BE MOVING IN DURING THE OVERNIGHT MIN TEMP PERIOD. GOOD UPPER DYNAMICS WILL SUPPORT WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AS WELL THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE MAIN IMPACT WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG GUSTS WITH THESE STORMS AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS 25 TO 30 KNOTS. OBSERVATIONS FROM CENTRAL FLORIDA JUST AHEAD OF THE LINE, AS WELL AS FROM SETTLEMENT POINT BAHAMAS ARE SHOWING GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS ALREADY. WITH THIS IN MIND, WOULD NOT BE SUPRISED TO SEE SOME STRONG GUSTS TONIGHT AS LINE MOVES THROUGH. BESIDES THE GUSTS, LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND LIGHTNING WILL BE OTHER IMPACTS. THIS WILL GRADUALLY DERCREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH AFTERNOON, AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. EXPECT LINGERING SHOWERS IN THE MIAMI-DADE AND BROWARD METRO AREAS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO FRIDAY EVENING. LOOKING AHEAD THROUGH MID WEEK...SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND, BUT STAY NORTH OF THE AREA. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY SCATTER OUT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. && .MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BUILD OVER OFFSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS OFF PALM BEACH TO ADVISORY LEVELS. CAUTION ELSEWHERE. WINDS AND SEAS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE INTO SATURDAY BEHIND THE FRONT. LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST FLOW BY LATE SUNDAY AS HIGH PUSHES INTO ATLANTIC. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO HIGHLIGHTS, BUT DRIER AIR IN IN SOUTHERN TIP OF PENINSULA ON SATURDAY AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS SOUTH. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
