AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
246 PM EDT SUN AUG 7 2005

.DISCUSSION...FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM BOTH THE GFS AND ETA SHOW
THAT A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS
SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AHEAD. AS SUCH...TYPICAL DAYTIME
AND EVENING CONVECTION IS ALMOST CERTAIN EACH DAY THIS WEEK.
REFINING THE DETAILS OF WHERE THIS CONVECTION WILL OCCUR EACH DAY
IS THE CHALLENGE. GFS HAS AGAIN BACKED OFF ON BUILDING IN THE ATLANTIC
RIDGE BY ABOUT A DAY...NOW SHOWING WEDNESDAY. ETA IS LESS
AGGRESSIVE...AND POPS SEEM MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED
IN A LIGHT FLOW AND MOIST/UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT...SO WILL SIDE WITH THIS
MODEL. AS SUCH...HAVE INCREASED POPS A TAD THROUGH MID WEEK ACROSS MOST
AREAS.

TAFB NOW ANALYZES A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH FROM A STILL
IMPRESSIVE SPINNING UPPER LOW NOW NORTH OF THE TURKS/CAICOS
ISLANDS. ETA SHOWS THIS TROUGH MOVING TO OFF THE SE FLORIDA COAST
TUE-WED...BUT WEAK. GFS DOES NOT SHOW THIS. SHOULD ETA
VERIFY...WOULD EXPECT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO INCREASE OVER THE
ATLANTIC WATERS MID WEEK...BUT GIVEN HOW WEAK THE TROUGH IS...WILL
JUST KEEP ISOLD-SCT STORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW.

&&

.MARINE...LIGHT FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP SEAS AT 2 FEET OR LESS
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS.
