.DISCUSSION...
THE SEA BREEZES WERE DEVELOPING ALONG BOTH COASTS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE FROM MIAMI TO NAPLES
BASED ON THE SATELLITE IMAGES. THE SEA BREEZES SHOULD CONTINUE TO
PUSH INLAND THIS AFTERNOON...AS THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SHOULD
SLOWLY DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. THESE FEATURES SHOULD HELP TO
DEVELOP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THEN GET PUSH TO THE WEST COAST AREAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. SO WILL CONTINUE WITH THE HIGHEST
POPS FOR THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING.

THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END LATE THIS
EVENING OR EARLY TONIGHT AS THE HEATING OF THE DAY IS LOST.
HOWEVER...THE WINDS WILL BE EASTERLY TONIGHT AROUND 10 MPH HELPING
TO GENERATE A FEW SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ATLANTIC
WATERS AND PUSH THEM WEST INTO THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS. SO PLAN
ON KEEPING CHANCE OF POPS FOR THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS
THIS EVENING...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF POPS FOR THE EAST COAST
AREAS TONIGHT.

THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME PATCHY FOG OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS OF
SOUTH FLORIDA LATE TONIGHT...DUE TO THE EXPECT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. SO HAVE ADDED PATCHY FOG
FOR THE INTERIOR AND FAR EASTERN WEST METRO AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA
FOR LATE TONIGHT.

THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DISSIPATE BY
SATURDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES
FROM THE CENTRAL PLAN STATES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR AN EASTERLY WIND
FLOW OVER THE CWA...AND WILL ALLOW FOR THE TYPICAL SUMMER TIME
PATTERN TO SET UP OVER THE AREA FOR THIS WEEKEND.

.EXTENDED FORECAST...
THE LONG RANGE MODELS THIS MORNING SHOWS THE TROPICAL WAVE JUST EAST OF
THE WINDWARD ISLANDS TO MOVE TO THE WEST NORTHWEST AND COULD GET
CLOSE TO SOUTH FLORIDA ON TUESDAY...AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW DEVELOPS
OVER THE BAHAMA ISLANDS EARLY NEXT WEEK. SO HAVE INCREASED THE
POPS A LITTLE BIT FOR TUESDAY OVER THE CWA...AND WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE LONG RANGE MODELS THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO SEE IF THE
POPS NEEDS TO BE RAISED FURTHER FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

FOR THE MIDDLE TO LATE END OF NEXT WEEK...THE LONG RANGE MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW HIGH PRESSURE TO REMAIN OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
WATERS EXTENDING BACK INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA. THIS WILL BRING BACK
THE SUMMER TIME WEATHER PATTERN FOR SOUTH FLORIDA FOR THE MIDDLE
TO LATE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THE WINDS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN MAINLY FROM THE EAST
AT 5 TO 10 KNOTS OVER THE CWA WATERS. THESE SPEEDS SHOULD SLOWLY
INCREASE TONIGHT AND BE AROUND 10 TO 15 KNOTS BY SATURDAY WHILE
REMAINING EAST. THE SPEEDS WILL THEN REMAIN CONSTANT THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY DECREASING TO 5 TO 10 KNOTS BY MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK FROM THE EAST. THE SEAS WILL ALSO REMAIN BELOW 6
FEET THROUGH THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL
REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES. SO NO CONCERNS AT THIS TIME WITH THE
FIRE WEATHER.

Where: Coastal Broward forecast zone
Reported by: NEWSPAPER

A 20-year-old male died of apparent heat exposure after he wandered in the Everglades in search of help to repair his broken-down airboat. He and his uncle set out on the airboat from Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge in southern Palm Beach County, and were about 3 miles south of the ramp in extreme northern Broward County when the airboat got stuck in the mud. High temperatures in the area that day were in the lower 90s and lowest relative humidity values were around 55 percent, producing maximum heat index values of near 105 degrees.

What these are
