NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 12:48 PM EST, 4 hours 32 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 148 PM EDT SUN JUN 24 2007 .DISCUSSION... THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES WERE DEVELOPING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG BOTH COASTS. SO FAR NO ACTIVITY HAS DEVELOP LET ALONG THE SEA BREEZES...BUT EXPECT FOR A FEW TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE STEERING FLOW WAS STILL FROM THE NORTHWEST TO WEST OVER THE CWA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO A MID TO UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS AND A MID TO UPPER LEVEL HIGH WAS OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL PUSH ANY ACTIVITY THAT DOES DEVELOP BACK TOWARDS THE EAST METRO AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA. SO WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OVER THE EAST COAST AREAS THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE WHILE MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH MONDAY ALLOWING FOR THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL HIGH IN THE GULF TO MOVE EAST INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE STEERING FLOW TO BECOME EASTERLY OVER THE CWA ON MONDAY. AT THE SAME TIME...A TROPICAL WAVE JUST EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS WILL MOVE WEST TO NORTHWEST TOWARDS THE BAHAMA ISLANDS. THIS WAVE WILL BRING IN SOME DRY AIR INTO THE AREA FOR MONDAY. SO WILL HAVE ONLY A 10 TO 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF POPS ACROSS THE AREA FOR MONDAY...WITH THE HIGHEST POPS OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS. THE TROPICAL WAVE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE CWA TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE MOVING NORTHWEST OF THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING IN TROPICAL MOISTURE TO SOUTH FLORIDA TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SO THE POPS WILL SLOWLY INCREASE FROM ISOLATED COVERAGE ON TUESDAY TO SCATTERED COVERAGE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. .EXTENDED FORECAST... HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS WILL THEN TAKE BACK CONTROL OF SOUTH FLORIDAS WEATHER FOR LATE THIS WEEK...BUT THE TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL STILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. SO SCATTERED POPS WILL BE THE RULE FOR LATE THIS WEEK WITH THE HIGHEST POPS OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS. THE HIGH WILL THEN WEAKEN A LITTLE BIT NEXT WEEKEND...AS A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL WORK SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES FROM CANADA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE STEERING FLOW TO BECOME SOUTHERLY OVER THE AREA...AND FOCUS THE BEST CHANCE OF ACTIVITY AROUND THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE AREA THIS WEEKEND. BUT ALL OF THE CWA SHOULD SEE SCATTERED POPS THIS WEEKEND. && .AVIATION... SEA BREEZE PUSHING INLAND AND HAS PASSED ALL BUT KTMB AS OF 18Z. TSRA SLOW TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON BUT STILL EXPECT ISOLD CONVECTION INLAND OF BOTH COASTS...WITH VCTS REFLECTED IN TAFS AT MOST E COAST SITES. ANY CEILINGS SHOULD BE VFR AND OF SHORT DURATION. TSRA ACTIVITY SHOULD WIND DOWN AT OR SHORTLY AFTER 00Z THIS EVENING...WITH LEFT OVER BKN CIRRUS FOR A FEW HOURS THEREAFTER. NO SGFNT FOG/VSBY ISSUES EXPECTED TONIGHT. EASTERLY FLOW SHOULD KICK IN EARLIER IN THE DAY ON MON AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD NORTHWARD. && .MARINE... THE WINDS WILL REMAIN EASTERLY THROUGH THE WEEK BEFORE SWINGING TO A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION NEXT WEEKEND. THE SPEEDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 15 KNOTS FOR THIS WEEK...EXCEPT TUESDAY NIGHT WHERE THEY WILL BE 15 TO 20 KNOTS AS THE TROPICAL WAVE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THE SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW 6 FEET THROUGH THE WEEK...EXPECT FOR THE OFF SHORE GULF WATERS WHERE THEY COULD BUILD TO 6 FEET TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. && .FIRE WEATHER... THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES EARLY THIS AFTERNOON HAVE IN THE 40S OVER THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR AREAS...AND 50 TO 60S ELSEWHERE. THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES COULD GET INTO THE MID TO LOWER 30S FOR ONE OR TWO HOURS LATE THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR AREAS. SO AT THIS TIME WILL NOT ISSUE ANY RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE NORTHWEST INTERIOR AREAS...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES FOR THIS WEEK...AS THE TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL SLOWLY WORK INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THE TROPICAL WAVE EARLY THIS WEEK...AND REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. SO AT THIS TIME...NO PROBLEM WITH THE FIRE WEATHER FOR THIS WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
