NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 15, 9:37 PM EST, 3 hours 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 937 PM EST WED NOV 15 2006 .UPDATE...A VERY IMPRESSIVE SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF AND NORTHERN FLORIDA AHEAD OF A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPR LVL TROUGH AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL GULF. THIS LINE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE EAST, AND LOOKING AT THE 0Z MFL SOUNDING, HELICITY, PRECIPITABLE WATER, AND CAPE HAS INCREASED, BUT THE MAIN BULK OF THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH OF THE CWA AS THE BEST UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE PASS NORTH OF THE AREA. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF THE CWA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY, AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED ACROSS THE KEY WEST CWA ALONG A LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE LINE EVEN WITH LIMITED INSTABILITY AND SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL FORCING NORTH OF THE AREA. THE STORMS IN THE KEY WEST AREA ARE MOVING NORTH AND THEY WILL BE NEARING THE MAINLAND AROUND MIDNIGHT. ADDED THUNDER TO FORECAST OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING BUT ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST SEEMS TO BE ON TARGET. TINGLER .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...STRONG SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR ARKANSAS/TENNESSEE BORDER FCST TO CONTINUE TRACKING SLOWLY E TONIGHT AND THEN BEGIN TO LIFT OUT TO THE NE ON THURSDAY. AT THE SAME TIME A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS LOCATED IN THE CENT GULF AND A STRONG SFC RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS LOCATED OVER THE FLA STRAITS WHICH IS RESULTING IN DEEPER SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH FLOW INCREASING THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE ATMOSPHERE. BUT CONSIDERING THE STRENGTH OF THE CAP JUST ABOVE THE SFC FROM THIS MORNING IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO HAVE ENOUGH MOISTURE IN PLACE TO WRING OUT SOME SHRA. SO BELIEVE THE MAV HAS THE RIGHT IDEA AND WENT SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SE ZONES AND CHC AFTER MIDNIGHT EVERYWHERE ELSE WITH THE APPROACH OF THE FRONT. STILL NOT CONVINCED MUCH IN THE CHANCE FOR TSRA WILL EXIST WITH ALL UPPER SUPPORT WELL NORTH OF THE REGION AND SFC WINDS VEERING TO THE SW AHEAD OF THE LINE OF CONVECTION. HOWEVER, THIS VEERING OF THE WIND OCCURS ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS IN ADVANCE OF IT AND CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING THE DEEPENING TROUGH EXTENDING INTO THE NORTHERN GULF. ALL OF THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO KICK OFF SOME THUNDER SO WILL LEAVE ISOLATED IN THERE FOR NOW. THE FRONT WILL THEN CLEAR THE SE CST SHORTLY AFTER 00Z FRI WITH CLEARING SKIES AND ENDING OF THE PRECIP. HAVE ALSO ENDED THE PRECIP EARLIER THAN THE MAV SINCE IT IS NOTORIOUS FOR LOOKING AT THE MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS BEHIND THE FRONT AND GIVING HIGH POPS ACCORDINGLY. THEN IT LOOKS LIKE AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF COOL WX FOR S FLA WITH UPPER FLOW REMAINING NW THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. SEVERAL REINFORCEMENTS OF COOL AIR WILL RESULT. IN FACT, THE GFS FOR THE PAST FEW RUNS HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF ANOTHER LOW OVER THE SE STATES GIVING US OUR COOLEST WX SO FAR THIS SEASON EARLY NEXT WEEK POSSIBLY INTO EVEN MID WEEK. && .AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WITH A FEW LOCALIZED AND TEMPORARY MVFR CEILING CONDITIONS. CLOUDS AND SHOWERS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN SPREADING EAST OVER APF LATE TONIGHT WITH MVFR OVER APF BY 12Z THU. MVFR CONDITIONS WILL SPREAD EAST TO EASTERN TERMINALS DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. && .MARINE...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RESULT IN SCEC FOR TONIGHT AND THE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO VEER TO THE SW ON THURSDAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND THEN TO THE N BEHIND THE FRONT. THE N WINDS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD THE SEAS IN THE GULF STREAM BUT GRADIENT NOT NECESSARILY STRONG BEHIND THE FRONT SO WINDS ACTUALLY DECREASE AS THEY DO BECOME NORTHERLY. SEAS AS A RESULT WILL BUILD TO 6 FEET ON FRIDAY AND THEN TO 8 FEET FRIDAY NIGHT. && .FIRE WEATHER...THE CURRENT SITUATION WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS AND BEYOND. A DRIER AIR MASS WILL FILTER INTO S FLA BEHIND THE FRONT BUT LOW AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK SHOULD KEEP RH VALUES ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. STAY TUNED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
