AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 156 PM EDT THU SEP 7 2006 .DISCUSSION...THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES WHERE DEVELOPING OVER THE METRO AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH A FEW SHOWERS DEVELOPING ALONG THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE. THE SEA BREEZES WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND PUSH INLAND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AS SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA BREEZES. SO WILL CONTINUE THE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CWA MAINLY INLAND AREAS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE STATIONARY FRONT OVER NORTH FLORIDA WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...AS THE SURFACE HIGH OVER WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS MOVES WEST THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA AND INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR ISOLATED ACTIVITY ALONG THE EAST COAST AREAS TONIGHT...AND ALLOW FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY ALONG THE SEA BREEZES AS THEY PUSH INLAND. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAIN STATES EXTENDING SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO WILL ALSO MOVE NORTHEAST AND THROUGH THE FLORIDA PENINSULA ON FRIDAY. MOST OF THE ENERGY WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE CWA ON FRIDAY...BUT THERE COULD BE A FEW STRONG STORMS WHERE THE SEA BREEZES COLLIDE OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS AS THE MID LEVELS WILL BE AROUND -6 TO -7 DEGREES CELSIUS. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE IS STILL FORECAST BY THE NHC TO MOVE TO THE NORTH WELL EAST OF THE AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE WINDS OVER THE CWA TO BE FROM A NORTHERLY DIRECTION AND ALLOW FOR DRIER AIR TO WORK INTO THE CWA FROM THE NORTH. SO HAVE KEPT THE POPS IN THE LOW END SCATTERED RANGE FOR THE CWA...MAINLY DUE TO THE SEA BREEZES DEVELOPING EACH DAY AND PUSHING INLAND. .EXTENDED FORECAST... THE SURFACE HIGH WILL THEN MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP THE WINDS IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION OVER THE CWA...AND KEEP THE DRIER AIR IN PLACE. SO THE POPS WILL REMAIN BELOW CLIMO FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE HIGH WILL THEN BREAK DOWN MIDDLE TO LATE NEXT WEEK...AS ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST FROM THE CENTRAL PLAIN STATES INTO THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE WINDS TO SWING TO A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION AND ALLOW FOR MORE MOISTURE TO RETURN THE CWA. SO HAVE BROUGHT THE POPS BACK UP TO CLIMO CONDITIONS FOR MIDDLE TO LATE NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION...MUCH DRIER AIR HAS MOVED IN ALOFT ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA WHICH IS RESULTING IN CONSIDERABLY LESS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY THAN IN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. STILL EXPECT SOME SCATTERED ACTIVITY OVER THE INTERIOR PORTIONS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THUS ALL TAF SITES SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY VFR. FRIDAY COULD SEE A LITTLE MORE ACTIVITY AGAIN WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AFFECTING THE REGION BUT AT THIS TIME LOOKS AGAIN LIKE MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE OVER THE INTERIOR PORTIONS LEAVING THE TAF SITS MOSTLY VFR. && .MARINE...THE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE EASTERLY DIRECTION FOR FRIDAY BEFORE SWINGING TO A NORTHERLY DIRECTION THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE WIND SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 15 KNOTS THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME SMALL 2 TO 3 FOOT SWELLS MOVING INTO THE PALM BEACH WATERS LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK FROM TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE. THEREFORE...THE SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SCEC CONDITIONS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...EXPECT FOR PALM BEACH WATERS WHERE THEY COULD GET TO 6 FEET BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .FIRE WEATHER...THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE FIRE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
