AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 1030 AM EDT FRI MAY 26 2006 .UPDATE...MAIN CHANGE TO THE CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE TO LOWER EXPECTED MAX TEMPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON TO MAINLY LOW/MID 80S DUE TO EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER LIMITING SUNSHINE ACROSS THE AREA. ALSO HWO HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INDICATE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW STRONG STORMS OVER EASTERN AREAS AS EAST COAST SEA BREEZE MAY ENHANCE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. .DISCUSSION...NO BASIC CHANGE IN THE WEATHER EXPECTED UNTIL ABOUT NEXT TUESDAY. IN THE MEANTIME THE SURFACE RIDGE TO OUR NORTH WILL PROBABLY WEAKENED SOME BUT OTHERWISE LITTLE CHANGE. THE UPPER RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE WESTERN U.S. SHOULD SHIFT EAST AND THE RIDGING NEAR 30N SHOULD WEAKEN. SO THAT BY TUESDAY THE FLOW AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE WHICH SHOULD BE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. SHOULD BE FORCING SOME DRIER AIR SOUTH OVER FLORIDA AS WELL AS WARMING THE AIR ALOFT AND MAKING THE ATMOSPHERE MORE STABLE. SO WILL REDUCE THE CHANCE OF DAYTIME PRECIPITATION BELOW CLIMATE FOR THAT PERIOD. BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK LOOK FOR US TO BE BACK TO THE PRESENT SITUATION WITH AN ELONGATED NORTHEAST/SOUTHWEST UPPER TROUGH OVER THE AREA AS THE UPPER RIDGE RETURNS TO THE WESTERN U.S. THIS SHOULD ALLOW OUR AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION TO RETURN TO NEAR CLIMATE PROBABILITIES BY THAT TIME. && .MARINE...WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE GRADIENT EXPECTED WITH WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN GOOD FOR BOATING. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO REAL CHANGES FROM THE HIGH HUMIDITIES UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK.
