AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 348 AM EDT WED JUN 30 2010 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A LOW TO MID LEVEL ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO EXTEND WESTWARD ACROSS NORTH- CENTRAL FLORIDA. THIS WILL KEEP S. FLORIDA UNDER A RELATIVELY MOIST SE FLOW THROUGH THIS PERIOD. ONE FEATURE THAT COULD WORK AGAINST HIGH POPS...AT LEAST OVER ERN AREAS TODAY...IS THE UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER THE NRN BAHAMAS. THIS LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTHWEST TODAY AND THEN DISSIPATE THURSDAY AS IT MOVES INTO THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN. WATER VAPOR IMAGES CLEARLY SHOWS AN AREA OF DRIER AREA AND SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE LOW. WL EXPECT THIS DRIER AIR TO MOVE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY AND THURSDAY LIMITING PRECIP COVERAGE. THAT BEING SAID...SLIGHTLY WEAKER LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL LIKELY ALLOW THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE TO PENETRATE FURTHER INLAND INITIATING AND ENHANCING CONVECTION OVER WESTERN/INTERIOR SECTIONS. WL KEEP SCT POPS ALL AREAS BUT WL RANGE FROM LOWEST POPS ERN ZONES TO HIGHEST NORTHWEST INTERIOR. FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A LARGE MID LATITUDE TROUGH WILL DIG SOUTH ACROSS ERN U.S./WESTERN ATLANTIC. THIS WILL NOT ONLY DISPLACE THE RIDGE EASTWARD, BUT WILL ALSO DRAG A "COLD FRNT" SOUTH THROUGH THE FLORIDA PENINSULA INCREASING THE CHANCES FOR RAIN. WL INDICATE HIGH SCT POPS ALL AREAS. && .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...BOTH GFS AND ECMWF STALL THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA WITH AMPLE MOISTURE BEING PUMPED INTO THE LOCAL AREA INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A WET FOURTH OF JULY. BELIEVE GFS IS STILL OVERDOING IT WITH PRECIP AMOUNTS DURING THIS PERIOD AS IT SHOWS SEVERAL BULL EYES OF HEAVY PRECIP AROUND THE PENINSULA IN WHAT SEEMS TO BE A CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK PROBLEM. .MARINE...MODERATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST SFC WINDS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PACKAGE...EVEN AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES INTO THE LOCAL WATERS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SEAS SHOULD REMAIN AOB 4 FEET. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO PROBLEMS EXPECTED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
