WESTERLY BREEZE OVER KAPF WILL ALSO DIMINISH TO AROUND 3 KTS BY 00Z TONIGHT. EXPECT ISOLD TS INVOF ALL TERMINALS FROM 18Z TO ABOUT 22Z THEN EXPECT THEM TO MOVE FURTHER INLAND AWAY FROM THE TERMINALS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 833 AM EDT FRI JUN 19 2009/ PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...LOCAL AREA WILL CONTINUE WITHIN A SLIGHT WEAKNESS IN THE DEEP LAYERED RIDGE. LIGHT FLOW OUT OF THE SW WILL GIVE WAY TO SEA BREEZES ON BOTH COASTS THIS AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A SW FLOW UP THROUGH ABOUT 10K FT TODAY...THOUGH RATHER LIGHT...WITH NE FLOW ALOFT. GIVEN THIS...REALLY CANNOT RULE OUT TSTORMS JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE AS SEA BREEZES WILL TAKE AWHILE TO ADVANCE INLAND...SO HAVE GONE WITH 30 POPS EVERYWHERE EXCEPT 40 INLAND. A FEW STRONG STORMS COULD OCCUR...BUT SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. THIS GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GULF WILL SLOWLY EXPAND INTO THE AREA...LIKELY LIMITING CONVECTION TO SOME EXTENT...SO HAVE CAPPED POPS AT LOW END CHANCE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODELS STILL SHOW A CLOSED LOW MOVING OFF THE COAST OF THE MID ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND STATES DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH AN AMPLIFYING TROUGH EXTENDING SW ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. GFS IS A BIT FURTHER NORTH THAN THE ECMWF WITH RESPECT TO THE CLOSED LOW AND THEREFORE SENDS THE SURFACE TROUGH...OR BACKDOOR COLD FRONT TO THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION ON WED. HOWEVER...WITH THE ECMWF DEEPER AND FURTHER SOUTH...IT SENDS THIS SURFACE FEATURE DEEPER INTO THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA ON TUE...IN LINE WITH THE NAM. MODELS SHOW WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE TROUGH WITH LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES REALLY ON THE INCREASE BY MON. WESTERLY SFC AND LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED...RESULTING IN THE HOTTEST TEMPS INTERIOR/ATLANTIC COAST. THE HOTTEST DAY LOOKS TO BE MONDAY...BUT POSSIBLY TUE AS WELL...DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE SURFACE FEATURE. A HINT AT HOW HOT IT COULD BECOME IS THE NAM SHOWING UPPER 90S ACROSS PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL FL ON SUNDAY. SOUTH FL WILL SEE THE THICKNESS ADVECTION ON MON...AND SO IT APPEARS RECORD HIGHS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY...AND POSSIBLY TUE...AGAIN DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE SURFACE TROUGH. GIVEN SEVERAL DAYS OUT...JUST WENT SLIGHTLY ABOVE GFS/MEX GUIDANCE...BUT IF TRENDS CONTINUE...IT LOOKS LIKE RECORD HIGHS IN THE MID 90S (UPPER 90S?) WILL BE POSSIBLE MON AND POSSIBLY TUE. MORE STABLE CONDITIONS AND A LACK OF SEA BREEZE AND CONVERGENCE WILL LEAD TO SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN CLIMO POPS. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE FOR A POSSIBLE MCS-TYPE FEATURE MON NIGHT...AS NAM IS HINTING AT. A STORMIER WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED BY WED-THU AS THE SURFACE TROUGH BECOMES ESTABLISHED ALONG WITH INCREASING MOISTURE/INSTABILITY. MARINE...LIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE...BUT AN INCREASE IN WESTERLY WINDS IS EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK. SIDED WITH THE GFS OF PREVAILING WINDS OF 10-15 KT EARLY NEXT WEEK...THOUGH NAM SHOWS STRONGER WINDS. FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
