NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 22, 8:45 AM EST, 4 hours 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 945 AM EDT SAT JUL 22 2006 .UPDATE...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAK SFC CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF CWA EXTENDING OFFSHORE THROUGH THE VICINITY OF NAPLES/FORT MYERS ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL GULF WATERS WHERE IT IS MORE EVIDENT IN SATELLITE LOOPS. THIS IS COMBINING WITH UPR TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF THE SE COAST ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA AND INTO THE CENTRAL GULF. EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS TROUGH ONE CAN SEE AN UPR LVL LOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF AND ANOTHER WEAK VORT MAX OFF THE EC FLORIDA COAST. PRECIPITABLE WATER REMAINS ABOVE 2 INCHES PER 12Z SNDG AND LATEST GPS RETRIEVALS. BEST UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACROSS THE AREA IS OFF THE COAST OF FORT MYERS/NAPLES WHICH MATCHES 88D PRECIPITATION IN COMBINATION WITH SURFACE BOUNDARY AT THIS TIME. CONSIDERING ALL THIS...IT WOULD NOT BE UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT MOST ACTIVITY TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE ACROSS GULF WATERS AND NORTHERN SECTIONS OF CWA. BUT GIVEN MOISTURE LEVELS...SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENTS...THERE IS PLENTY OF HEATING CURRENTLY GOING ON AWAY FROM THE WEST COAST...AND DEEPENING SWLY FLOW ALL AREAS ARE LIKELY TO GET SOME RAIN AGAIN PARTICULARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS THE MAIN CONCERN. .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM THE EASTERN GULF TO SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH TWO PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL LOWS...ONE OVER THE CENTRAL GULF AND THE OTHER EAST OF THE CAROLINAS COAST...SHOULD RESULT AGAIN IN WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...SYNOPTIC CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY AND THIS EVENING. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE ALSO SHOWS FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR LIFT THROUGH THE COLUMN TODAY. SO GIVEN ALL THESE FACTORS...LITTLE CHANGE IN THE FORECAST AND THE GUIDANCE HAS BEEN REMARKABLY PERSISTENT IN THIS SCENARIO IN THE SHORT TERM. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED ATLANTIC UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL START TO LIFT TO THE NORTH NORTHEAST TONIGHT AND ALLOW MID TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO START INFLUENCING SOUTH FLORIDA...WITH MID TO UPPER LEVEL DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR STARTING TO INFLUENCE THE FLORIDA PENINSULA LATER ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION SHOULD PERSIST AND SYNOPTIC FORCING SHOULD RESULT IN CHANCES OF CONVECTION ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THEREAFTER RIDGING IS FORECAST AT ALL LEVELS AND CHANCES OF CONVECTION DECREASE SOMEWHAT BY MONDAY. && .MARINE...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS REGIONAL WATERS TODAY...WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED BY THE AFTERNOON. WHILE SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY TRANQUIL THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ANY LOCAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HIGHER WAVES...WIND GUSTS...LIGHTNING AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES. && .FIRE WEATHER... TO SUMMARIZE WHAT WAS STATED IN THE DISCUSSION ABOVE...A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA...AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AND ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE...WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE WIND FLOW WILL BE MAINLY SOUTHWESTERLY. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE ON MONDAY AS A DEEP LAYER RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT THUNDERSTORMS: A LOW LEVEL TROUGH, ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE, WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER MOST OF SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. ONCE THEY DEVELOP, THE STORMS WILL MOVE EAST NORTHEAST TOWARD THE EASTERN ZONES AND EASTERN METRO AREAS. WATERSPOUTS: A HIGH RISK OF WATERSPOUTS FOR THE ATLANTIC WATERS TODAY. THE GREATEST TIME PERIOD FOR THESE TO OCCUR WILL BE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. FLOODING: ALTHOUGH THE MOVEMENT OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN IN THE PREVIOUS TWO DAYS, IT WILL STILL BE SLOW ENOUGH TO RESULT IN VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS OVER SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THIS MAY LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED ROADWAYS AND LOW LYING AREAS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP ON SUNDAY PRIMARILY OVER INTERIOR AND EAST COAST AREAS. A DEEP LAYER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD WEST ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA FROM MONDAY ON. THIS WILL RESULT IN A DEEP EASTERLY STEERING FLOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA, WHICH IN TURN, WILL TEND TO PUSH AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER INTERIOR SECTIONS AND THE WEST COAST. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED. FOR MORE INFORMATION...VISIT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MIAMI WEBSITE AT WWW.MIAMIWEATHER.INFO.
