NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 3, 8:55 PM EST, 55 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 855 PM EST FRI FEB 3 2006 WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS COVERING THE NW HALF OF THE CWA. ACTIVITY DEVELOPING IN THE SE GULF AND OVER FLORIDA BAY SE OF AREA AND WILL ADVECT ONSHORE ON THE SW FLOW ALOFT. THUS, THE CURRENT DRY PORTION OF SOUTH FLA TO SEE NOCTURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ALREADY SOME FLOODING IN COLLIER COUNTY FROM RAINFALL THIS EVENING AND A THREAT OF PERSISTENT TRAINING ECHOES COULD LEAD TO SOME DECENT RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVERNIGHT...WHICH IS A SITUATION TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED. POPS CHANGED UPWARDS FROM PREVIOUS PACKAGE. IN THE MARINE ZONES...LITTLE CHANGE FROM CURRENT PACKAGE. .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...LARGE AMPLITUDE TROUGH DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY PROVIDING A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE TROUGHS MOVING ACROSS FLORIDA FOR THE NEXT 18 TO 24 HOURS. RESOLVING EACH SHORT WAVE IS DIFFICULT BUT IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFECT ON SOUTH FLORIDA WEATHER TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. UPPER AIR PLOT FOR 12Z DOES NOT SEEM TO SHOW AS MANY MEXICAN OBSERVATIONS AS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE TO RESOLVE THE SOUTHERN STREAM THAT WILL AFFECT FLORIDA BUT IT DOES SHOW SIX SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP. BOTH GFS AND NAM SEEM TO COME TO CONSENSUS THAT SHORT WAVE NOW AFFECTING CENTRAL FLORIDA WILL MOVE OUT FOLLOWED BY A WEAKER WAVE NEAR THE YUCATAN AT 12Z MOVING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA TONIGHT. A STRONGER SHORT WAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA SATURDAY WHICH WILL SUPPORT THE CONVECTION WE HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING. BOTH MODELS SHOW A SIGNIFICANT JET STREAK IN EXCESS OF 100 KNOTS MOVING FROM THE GULF ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA TONIGHT AND SLIDING SOUTH SATURDAY MORNING SO THAT MUCH OF OUR CWA IS IN THE FAVORED RIGHT FRONT QUADRANT...ASSUMING A FAIRLY STRAIGHT LINE JET...BY 18Z. HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA MAY ACT TO AMPLIFY THE DIFFERENCES ACROSS A BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE COOLER AIR THERE AND THE VERY WARM MOIST UNSTABLE AIR ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS TIME OF YEAR...WITH A BOUNDARY TO ACT ON AND GOOD SUPPORT ALOFT WITH POTENTIALLY FAVORABLE WIND SHEAR PROFILES...SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN SEEMS A GOOD BET. MUST WATCH ANY BOUNDARY CLOSELY THAT CAN BE ANALYZED IN THE MESOSCALE OBSERVATIONS AND SEE IF IT SINKS SOUTHWARD INTO THE CWA. THUNDERSTORMS VISIBLE ON SATELLITE IN THE GULF MOVING STEADILY TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST GULF COAST. WILL INCREASE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE COLLIER AND LAKE REGION IN ANTICIPATION. THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LAKE REGION THIS AFTERNOON BRIEFLY HAD SEVERE APPEARANCE AND WITH SOUTHWARD MOVING BOUNDARY MUST BE ON GUARD. WITH DEWPOINTS WELL INTO THE 70S AND SURFACE WINDS NOT BRIDGING ACROSS THE FRONTAL ZONE LIKE THE LAST SEVERAL FRONTS WE HAVE HAD...THE MODEL WIND PROFILES SHOW GOOD VEERING TONIGHT AND SOME VEERING EARLY TOMORROW BUT BECOMES MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL SATURDAY BUT WITH SOME SPEED SHEAR. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE ON MESOSCALE FEATURES. COLD FRONT TIMING LOOKS LIKE IN THE SOUTHWEST GULF COAST AND LAKE OKEE REGION BY EARLY AFTERNOON...PALM BEACH BY MID AFTERNOON AND REACHING THE METRO SOUTHEAST COAST BY EVENING. HPC QPF SHOWS 1 TO 2 INCHES FOR SOUTHWEST GULF COAST AND LAKE OKEE REGION WHICH IS THE DRIEST AREA OF SOUTH FLORIDA WITH LESS THAN A HALF INCH OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS. THIS WILL HOPEFULLY WORK OUT...LESSER AMOUNTS EXPECTED FOR THE METRO SOUTHEAST COAST AS THE FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER THE FRONT...COLD AIR REESTABLISHES ITSELF ACROSS THE PENINSULA WITH STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS. WIND CHILL MAY BE A FACTOR SUNDAY MORNING WITH A RADIATIONAL COOLING NIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT AND THE LOWEST TEMPERATURES EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME EXPECT LOWS TO DIP INTO THE 30S IN THE NORMALLY COLDER LOCATIONS AWAY FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE ON MONDAY MORNING SO GROWERS OF VEGETABLES AROUND THE LAKE MAY NEED TO TAKE SOME PRECAUTIONS OVER THE WEEKEND. ORIGIN OF THE HIGH DOES NOT LOOK TO BE ARCTIC AS THE SOURCE SEEMS TO COME OVER THE ROCKIES AND IT IS NOT PARTICULARLY STRONG SO IT DOES NOT MATCH OUR PATTERNS FOR A FREEZE SITUATION. WILL NOT ISSUE A FREEZE OUTLOOK BUT WILL INCLUDE PATCHY FROST FOR THE INLAND AREAS AWAY FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE FOR MONDAY MORNING. && .MARINE...ISSUED EXERCISE CAUTION FOR THE ATLANTIC WATERS IN LATE MORNING UPDATE. WILL CONTINUE THIS THROUGH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WILL LIKELY NEED SCA FOR ALL WATERS BEHIND THE FRONT LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. WINDS WILL BE DIMINISHING SUNDAY. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS AT PRESENT BUT MAY HAVE SOME PROBLEM SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND SOME RESIDUAL WIND AS WELL AS MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
