AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 243 PM EDT WED JUN 13 2007 .SYNOPSIS... SURFACE TROUGH APPEARS TO HAVE MOVED TO FAR SOUTHERN TIP OF PENINSULA AS NOTED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. THIS IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE SLOWER DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, SEA BREEZE FRONT IS BEGINNING TO SET UP ALONG BOTH COASTS AT THIS TIME AND THIS SHOULD PROVIDE THE FOCUS NECESSARY FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE TSTMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. COLD 500 MB LOW NOW NEAR JAX CONTINUING TO DROP SE AND THIS WILL HELP TO FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. && .DISCUSSION... QUIET NIGHT EXPECTED AFTER STORMS DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. PATCHY FOG IS ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT OVER INLAND SECTIONS. TROUGH WILL LINGER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THURSDAY...SETTING THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER AFTERNOON OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS. NAM MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE GFS WITH DRYING AND THEREFORE SHOWING LOWER POPS AREA WIDE ON THURSDAY. WILL CONTINUE POPS INHERITED FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST WHICH ARE HIGHER THAN EVEN THE GFS. SPC AGREES WITH THIS SCENARIO AND HAS AREAS SOUTH OF THE LAKE UNDER A SLIGHT SEVERE RISK. PATTERN CHANGES BY FRIDAY AS DEEPER SOUTHERLY FLOW BEGINS TO SET UP OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS WILL PUMP DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO AREA AND CONTINUE HIGH POPS FOR FRIDAY (DESPITE NAMS INSISTENCE ON DRIER CONDITIONS). GFS IS DEVELOPING A WEAK SURFACE LOW AND MOVING IN NE OUT OF THE GULF AND ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA ON SATURDAY. THE CANADIAN MODEL IS DEFINITELY THE OUTLIER AS IT BRINGS A LOW INTO SOUTH FLORIDA FRIDAY NIGHT. WHILE THESE SOLUTION MAY BE DUBIOUS...THE CONSENSUS OF THE GLOBAL MODELS KEEP S/SW LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AS A RESULT...EXPECT GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. LOOKING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...SURFACE/LOW LEVEL RIDGE WILL SET UP ALONG THE LATITUDE OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE WHICH WILL PROVIDE RATHER TYPICAL RAINY SEASON DIURNAL ACTIVITY WITH INTERIOR AND WESTERN SECTIONS PROBABLY FAVORED. && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE OVER ALL TERMINALS THROUGH AT LEAST 19Z TODAY. BOTH SEA BREEZES WILL MARCH SLOWLY INLAND AND CONVERGE OVER THE EASTERN INTERIOR SECTIONS AFTER 20Z. THIS WILL LEAD TO SHOWERS/TSTMS DEVELOPING THROUGH EARLY EVENING. NORTHWEST STEERING FLOW ALOFT WILL MAKE ANY STORM/SHOWER THAT DEVELOPS DRIFT TOWARD EAST COAST POSSIBLY AFFECTING ALL EASTERN TERMINALS LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED OVER ERN TERMINALS OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME PATCHY FOG IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT OVER INTERIOR SECTIONS. && .MARINE... NORTHERLY WINDS EARLY THIS EVENING WILL BECOME LIGHT E TO SE AS TROUGH LINGERS OVER AREA. SE WINDS WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY FRIDAY AND VEER TO S ON SATURDAY AND SW ON SUNDAY AS TROUGH MOVES NORTH OF AREA. RETURN TO E/SE WINDS OVER SOUTHERN WATERS ON MONDAY AS RIDGE BUILDS BACK N OVER AREA. && .FIRE WEATHER... NO LOW RH CONCERNS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
