NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 9, 8:38 AM EST, 4 hours 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 938 AM EDT SUN APR 9 2006 ...ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... .UPDATE...ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS ONE TROUGH PULLING OUT AND AWAY FROM THE AREA ACROSS THE CAROLINAS...BUT OUR PLAYER WILL BE A PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIGGING IN ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO. GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE OUT AHEAD OF THIS SHORTWAVE WILL OCCUR OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM ABOUT SARASOTA TO CAPE CANAVERAL. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION LATE IN THE AFTERNOON...THEN ACROSS THE REST OF SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGHOUT THE EVENING HOURS...PROVIDING FOR SURFACE CONVERGENCE. THE AIRMASS CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER SOUTH FL AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND THE SHORTWAVE IS VERY UNSTABLE. WARM AND MOIST TROPICAL AIR IS IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S. THE APPROACH OF THE SHORTWAVE IS BRINGING COLD AIR IN ALOFT...WITH AN IMPRESSIVE H5 TEMP OF -12.9C ON THE 12Z MIAMI SOUNDING. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY...IT IS VERY UNSTABLE...WITH A MODIFIED MIAMI SOUNDING FOR THIS AFTERNOON YIELDING A CAPE OF AROUND 3600 J/KG...LI OF -10C...AND A K-INDEX OF 32. 0-6 KM SHEAR IS NEAR 35 KNOTS...SUPPORTIVE FOR SEVERE. WINDS THOUGH ARE UNIDIRECTIONAL THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE...SO THIS WOULD SUGGEST DAMAGING WINDS/LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP. HOWEVER...IT MUST BE SAID THAT ANY BACKING OF THE WINDS ALONG THE EAST COAST...SHOULD AN AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE DEVELOP...WOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR TO SUPPORT THE PRODUCTION OF A TORNADO...BUT WHETHER OR NOT A SEA BREEZE WILL FORM IS IN QUESTION. BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE FROM MIDDAY THROUGH EARLY EVENING...ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT AND ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND/OR SEA BREEZE INTERACTIONS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT STORMS COULD CONTINUE PAST DARK...GIVEN THE SUPPORT OF THE SHORTWAVE THAT MAY NOT MOVE ACROSS THE AREA UNTIL LATE NIGHT. GIVEN THE ABOVE...WILL UPDATE THE FORECAST TO REFLECT POSSIBLE SEVERE STORMS AND INCREASE POPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON. /DG && .PREV DISCUSSION... DISCUSSION...LINE OF STRONG CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA GRADUALLY MAKING ITS WAY SOUTH WHILE ISOLATED CONVECTION HAS BEGUN TO DEVELOP WELL AHEAD OF THIS LINE OVER THE OFFSHORE GULF OF MEX WATERS...YET NOTHING OVER LAND SO FAR. GUIDANCE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH THE GOOD OLD GFS BEING THE MORE CONSISTENT FROM RUN TO RUN. THEY ALL AGREE THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO BRING SOME STRONG CONVECTION WITH MODERATE/HEAVY RAIN... (THAT IS, EXCEPT ETA12 WHICH DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE ANYTHING OVER THE PENINSULA BETWEEN 03Z TO 15Z, I GUESS WE CAN DISCARD THIS ONE) HOWEVER DIFFER ON THE TIMING. BELIEVE...GIVEN CURRENT OBS, SATELLITE IMAGES AND RADAR, THAT GFS IS THE ONE CLOSER TO REALITY AND SO WILL TEND TO GO ALONG WITH IT, THOUGH NO A 100 PERCENT. FOR ONCE, BELIEVE GFS MAY BE A TAG TOO SLOW AS IT MOVES THIS SYSTEM OVER SOUTH FLORIDA AS IT DEVELOPS A SFC LOW ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WILL NOT BUY THIS YET AND WILL HAVE THE FRONT EXITING SOUTH FLORIDA MONDAY MORNING WITH RAPIDLY IMPROVING WEATHER CONDITIONS AFTERWARDS. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS OUR AREA MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL (850MB AND 700MB) AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WILL INDICATE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE IN THE FORECAST. MARINE...WINDS SHOULD SHIFT TO NORTHEAST AND INCREASE TO 20 KTS+ AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. SEAS, IN TURN, WILL BECOME ROUGH...ESPECIALLY IN THE GULF STREAM, POSSIBLY REACHING MORE THAN 12 FEET BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. WILL NOT ISSUED ANY ADVISORY AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTIES AS TO THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM, BUT WILL INDICATE AN ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR TONIGHT. MODERATE TO STRONG NE FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH GOOD PORTION OF THE FORECAST, SO ROUGH CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSISTS OVER THE GULF STREAM THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH SOMEWHAT BETTER CONDITIONS OVER THE REST OF THE WATERS. FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. MEAN RH SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES. EXTENDED FORECAST...SURFACE HIGH BEHIND THIS FRONT WILL MOVE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC BY TUESDAY. GFS TRIES TO DEVELOP A SFC LOW OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL BAHAMAS AND LEAVE SPINNING THERE THROUGH GOOD PART OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. WONT BUY THIS YET AS IT WAS NOT DOING THAT ON PREVIOUS RUNS. IN ANY CASE A MODERATE NORTHEAST WIND FLOW ( STRENGTH WILL DEPEND ON WHETHER OR NOT LOW DEVELOPS) SHOULD CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE PENINSULA AND WITH THAT WE SHOULD SEE ISOLATED NIGHTTIME/EARLY MORNING SHOWERS ON THE EAST COAST. && .MFL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
