AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 206 PM EST FRI DEC 9 2005 .DISCUSSION...WEAK LOW PRESSURE HAS MOVED INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON FROM NORTH FLORIDA...WHILE THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA EXTENDING SOUTHWEST INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE THE FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTH FLORIDA. THE FRONT WILL THEN BECOME STATIONARY OVER THE CWA TONIGHT AS THE STEERING FLOW WILL BE PARALLEL TO THE FRONT. THIS WILL KEEP THE AREA IN THE MOIST AIR AND ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME PATCHY FOG OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS OF THE CWA TONIGHT ESPECIALLY WHERE SHOWERS OCCUR. THEREFORE...PLAN ON KEEPING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE CWA TONIGHT ALONG WITH SOME PATCHY FOG MAINLY OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS. THE FRONT WILL THEN REMAIN STATIONARY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THIS WILL KEEP THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND. SOME OF THE SHORT RUN MODELS ARE ALSO STARTING TO SHOW SOME COOLER AIR ALOFT WORKING INTO THE CWA ON SUNDAY WHICH MEANS THAT THERE COULD BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CWA. HOWEVER...AT THIS TIME WILL NOT INTRODUCE THE THUNDER WORDING FOR SUNDAY UNTIL MORE OF THE SHORT RUN MODELS SHOW THE COOLER AIR ALOFT MOVING INTO THE AREA. THE FRONT WILL FINALLY BE PUSH TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA SUNDAY EVENING OR EARLY SUNDAY NIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHWEST UNITED STATES MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE SHOWERS TO COME TO AND END OVER THE CWA BY LATE THIS WEEKEND...AND ALLOW FOR COOLER/DRIER WEATHER TO WORK INTO THE CWA EARLY NEXT WEEK. .EXTENDED FORECAST... THE HIGH OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL THEN MOVE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS MIDDLE TO LATE NEXT WEEK...AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND MOVES EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A COLD FRONT TO MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE CWA LATE NEXT WEEK. AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...THE WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY DIRECTION ALLOWING FOR SOME MOISTURE TO RETURN TO THE CWA. THEREFORE...HAVE LEFT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR MIDDLE TO LATE NEXT WEEK OVER THE CWA. && .MARINE...THE WINDS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN FROM THE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION AT 5 TO 10 MPH. THE WINDS WILL SWING TO A NORTHEAST DIRECTION TONIGHT AND REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTHEAST TO EAST DIRECTION THROUGH THE WEEKEND AT 5 TO 10 MPH...AS THE COLD FRONT REMAINS OF THE CWA. THE WINDS WILL THEN BECOME NORTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK AND INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS...AS THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF THE CWA. THE SEAS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN 4 TO 6 FEET IN PALM BEACH COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO THE MODERATE NORTHEAST TO EAST SWELLS. THE SWELLS WILL BE DECREASING THIS AFTERNOON AND SHOULD BE BELOW 6 FEET THIS EVENING...THEN CONTINUE TO DECREASE TONIGHT AND BE GONE BY SATURDAY MORNING. SO PLAN ON DROPPING THE SCEC CONDITIONS FOR THE PALM BEACH WATERS FOR TONIGHT. THE SEAS WILL THEN REMAIN BELOW 6 FEET FOR ALL OF THE ATLANTIC WATERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK IN THE GULF STREAM TO 7 FEET DUE TO NORTH WINDS. THE SEAS IN THE GULF WATERS WILL REMAIN BELOW 6 FEET EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .FIRE WEATHER...THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...BY EARLY NEXT WEEK THEY COULD GET CLOSE TO THE CRITICAL VALUES OVER MOST OF THE AREA...DUE TO THE DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE CWA FROM THE NORTH. THEREFORE...STAY TUNE FOR LATER FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MIAMI FLORIDA ON THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
