AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
450 PM EDT THU AUG 2 2012

.UPDATE...POPS WERE ADJUSTED AND LARGELY INCREASED ACROSS A LARGE
PORTION OF THE REGION. CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ALONG SEA
BREEZE AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES, AND WILL BE SLOW TO DIMINISH, WITH
NO SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN ACTIVITY EXPECTED UNTIL AFTER 00Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 232 PM EDT THU AUG 2 2012/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...LATEST 850MB STREAMLINE
ANALYSIS SHOWS A TROPICAL WAVE/TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE NORTHERN
BAHAMAS SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL CUBA AND INTO THE WESTERN CARIB.
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGES SHOW A LARGE AREA OF MOISTURE MAINLY TO
THE EAST OF THE TROUGH AXIS. MDLS MOVE THIS SYSTEM WESTWARD
THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH MOST OF THE MOISTURE SPREADING ACROSS
SOUTH FLORIDA FROM FRI EVENING TO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. GFS ALSO SHOWS
AN UPPER LOW MOVING WEST AHEAD OF THE WAVE AND POSITIONS IT WEST OF
THE PENINSULA BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF THIS TWO
SYSTEMS WILL NOT ONLY RESULT IN INCREASED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT, BUT ALSO INCREASED UPPER LVL DIVERGENCE
RESULTING IN INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...TROPICAL WAVE AND UPPER LOW
MENTIONED ABOVE SHOULD MOVE WEST OF THE LOCAL AREA BY MONDAY AND
BE REPLACED BY AN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDING WESTWARD.
THIS WILL RESULT IN A MODERATE EAST FLOW BEING ESTABLISHED ACROSS
THE REGION. THIS WILL TEND FOCUS AFTERNOON CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
MOSTLY OVER INTERIOR/WESTERN AREAS, WHILE NIGHTTIME/EARLY MORNING
SHWRS/TSTMS COULD BE EXPERIENCED OVER ERN AREAS.

TD#5 JUST EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE RATHER FAST WESTWARD NEXT FEW DAYS
AND SHOULD BE NEAR THE ISLANDS BY FRIDAY. THE FUTURE TRACK OF THIS
SYSTEM WILL GREATER DEPEND ON ITS ORGANIZATION AND INTENSITY AS
WELL AS ON THE STRENGTH OF THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE CURRENTLY OVER
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC NORTH OF THE ISLANDS. THE CURRENT FORECAST
THINKING FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS THAT THE EASTERLY
STEERING CURRENT AROUND THE BASE OF THE RIDGE SHOULD KEEP THE
DEPRESSION ON A MAINLY WESTWARD TRACK THROUGH THE CARIBBEAN SEA
THROUGH NEXT WEEK. AT THIS TIME, IT IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM COULD HAVE ANY EFFECT OVER THE LOCAL
AREA. HOWEVER, IF THE LONG RANGE GFS VERIFIES, THERE COULD BE
BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA DUE TO A TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THIS SYSTEM AND THE ATLANTIC RIDGE.

MARINE...PLEASANT BOATING CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE AT LEAST
THROUGH THE PERIOD. HOWEVER...WINDS AND SEAS COULD BE HIGHER NEAR
SHOWERS AND STORMS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE TROPICAL WAVE MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA.

FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS AT THIS TIME.
