AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 208 PM EDT MON JUL 17 2006 .DISCUSSION...WE DRIED OUT A FEW DAYS...NOW MOVING BACK TOWARD A WETTER PATTERN. BROAD DIFFUSE OLD FRONTAL TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES HAS SUPPRESSED THE ATLANTIC RIDGE SOUTH TO THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION TODAY. CONSEQUENTLY OUR WINDS ARE VERY LIGHT...ABOUT 8 MPH OR LESS...AND TODAYS CONVECTION WILL BE DOMINATED BY SEA AND LAKE BREEZES AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM DYING CELLS. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY IS NOT THAT GREAT, PLENTY OF DRY AIR AT MID LEVELS SO MAY GET SOME STRONG CELLS WITH GOOD DOWNBURST POTENTIAL INLAND TODAY INLAND WHERE HOTTEST AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE REACHED. AT HIGHEST LEVELS...UPPER LOW SOUTH OF CUBA HAS BEEN SQUASHED AND STRETCHED INTO A BROAD TROUGH FROM THE YUCATAN TO MIDDLE CUBA TO THE SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS BUT STILL DRIFTING WEST. RIDGE AXIS SHOULD SINK A BIT FARTHER SOUTH REST OF TODAY BEFORE BEGINNING A TREK BACK NORTH TUESDAY...AND RETURN TO 30N LATITUDE BY WEDNESDAY. THE NAM AND GFS TRY TO MOVE THE LAGGING NORTH END OF A DIFFUSE TROPICAL WAVE ACROSS MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA TUESDAY WITH ASSOCIATED INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS TOUGH TO FIND TROPICAL WAVE IS NOW ROUGHLY FROM THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS ACROSS CUBA INTO THE SOUTHWEST CARIBBEAN BUT MODELS SEEM TO SHOW THE SOUTH PART MOVING WEST AT 15 KNOTS OUTRUNNING THE NORTH PART WHICH MOVES TOWARD US MUCH SLOWER. REGARDLESS...THE EFFECT SHOULD BE ENHANCEMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SO WILL EDGE ABOVE MOS POP GUIDANCE EACH DAY THROUGH THURSDAY. IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...ANOTHER WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE CAROLINAS AND GEORGIA SHUNTS THE ATLANTIC RIDGE BACK SOUTH ACROSS US BY SATURDAY PERSISTING INTO SUNDAY AND LIFTING BACK TO CENTRAL FLORIDA BY MONDAY. CERTAINLY NO REASON TO DECREASE POPS SO WILL MAINTAIN CLIMATOLOGY OR HIGHER POPS RIGHT THROUGH. THE SQUASHED CUBA UPPER LOW IS PROGGED BY THE GFS TO MEANDER NEAR WESTERN CUBA THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND THEN POSSIBLY DRIFTING BACK TOWARD SOUTH FLORIDA LATER IN THE WEEK ALBEIT MUCH WEAKER. DEPENDING ON HOW THIS EVOLVES OUR DIURNAL CONVECTION MAY BE ENHANCED WITH BETTER DIFLUENT FLOW ALOFT. HOWEVER UPPER LOWS SOMETIMES SURPRISE AND SUPPRESS OUR CONVECTION SO WILL NEED TO WATCH. && .MARINE...WEAK SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH FLOW TODAY INTO TUESDAY WILL RETURN TO A MORE NORMAL EASTERLY FLOW BELOW 15 KNOTS WEDNESDAY AS THE RIDGE AXIS RETREATS NORTH. STILL A GOOD REGIME FOR DIURNAL SEA AND LAKE BREEZE CIRCULATIONS. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
