UPDATE...54/BNB
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 248 PM EDT MON JUL 5 2010/
..ONE MORE DAY OF WET WEATHER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA BEFORE A DRYING
TREND FOR MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK...
DISCUSSION...
THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WAS STILL STATIONARY OVER NORTH FLORIDA
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AS A BOUNDARY WAS PUSHING SLOWLY NORTH
THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA FROM THE LEFTOVER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY FROM CUBA LAST NIGHT. THESE TWO FEATURES WERE HELPING TO
GENERATE SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON.
THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTH THROUGH THE CWA
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...AS THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY. SO WILL CONTINUE THE LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL
POPS OVER THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WILL LOWER THE THUNDER
TREAT TO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DUE TO THE CLOUD COVER KEEPING THE
TEMPERATURES COOLER THAN EXPECTED FOR TODAY.
THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD SLOWLY DISSIPATE THIS EVENING
OVER THE CWA AS THE HEATING OF THE DAY IS LOST. HOWEVER...SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD AGAIN DEVELOP OVER CUBA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND MOVE NORTH TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT IN
THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW. THIS ACTIVITY COULD WORK
INTO THE SOUTHERN AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. SO WILL MAKE THE NORTHERN AREAS OF CWA DRY AFTER
MIDNIGHT...BUT KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE CAT OVER THE
SOUTHERN AREAS OF THE CWA FOR THE THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
THE SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE SHOWING THAT A WEAK LOW PRESSURE TO
DEVELOP EAST OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS ON TUESDAY AND MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL PUSH THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS SOUTHWEST AND THROUGH SOUTH
FLORIDA ON TUESDAY...BEFORE BRINGING DRY AIR INTO THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.
SO WILL UP THE POPS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA ON TUESDAY TO LIKELY
CONDITIONS.
EXTENDED FORECAST...
THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE SOUTH OF THE CWA ON
THURSDAY...BEFORE MOVING BACK NORTH ON FRIDAY AS A TROPICAL WAVE
PASSES TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA FROM THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOUTH FLORIDA TO DRY OUT SOME ON WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY...BEFORE THE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE
AREA ON FRIDAY. SO WILL LOWER THE POPS ON WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY
TO SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE CAT...BEFORE GOING BACK TO A HIGH IN
CHANCE CAT ON FRIDAY.
THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN DISSIPATE FRIDAY NIGHT
ALLOWING FOR RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST
UNITED STATES TO BUILD BACK INTO SOUTH FLORIDA NEXT WEEKEND. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR THE EASTERLY WIND FLOW TO SET UP...AND ALLOW FOR
THE TYPICAL DIURNAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER SOUTH
FLORIDA FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
MARINE...
THE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA...EXCEPT 15 TO 20 KNOTS
OVER THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS. THIS WILL KEEP THE SEAS BELOW 6
FEET THROUGH WEDNESDAY OVER THE ATLANTIC AND GULF WATERS. SO THE
ONLY HEADLINES WILL BE A SCEC FOR THE WINDS OVER THE GULF WATERS
TONIGHT.
HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH ISOLATED AREAS OF 3
TO 5 INCHES HAS FALLEN OVER SOUTH FLORIDA OVER THE FOURTH OF JULY
WEEKEND. THE PWAT VALUES WILL REMAIN AT 2.2 TO 2.3 INCHES TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS FORECAST
TO MOVE THROUGH THE CWA. THESE PWAT VALUES ARE 2+ STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE THE NORMAL 1.8 INCHES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR FOR
SOUTH FLORIDA. SO WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION POSSIBLE HEAVY
RAINFALL OVER SOUTH FLORIDA FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY.
THIS COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH SOME LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH TUESDAY. IF THE
RAINFALL AMOUNTS BECOME HIGHER THAN FORECAST OVER SOUTH FLORIDA
DURING THIS TIME...THEN A FLOOD WATCH COULD BE NEEDED FOR PARTS OR OF
ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA.
