AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 256 PM EDT MON JUN 13 2011 .DISCUSSION... WINDS ACROSS THE REGION ARE LIGHT AND SOMEWHAT VARIABLE...ALTHOUGH AS WE PROGRESS INTO THE AFTERNOON BOTH THE WEST AND EAST COAST SEA BREEZES ARE BECOMING ESTABLISHED WITH SHOWERS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE PENINSULA.

A WEAK AND DIFFUSE FRONT IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE REGION LATE TUESDAY BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. BY WEDNESDAY...BOTH THE WEST AND COAST SEA BREEZES ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ACROSS THE PENINSULA WITH SCATTERED ACTIVITY IN THE INTERIOR.
