AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
157 AM EDT THU JUN 6 2013
.AVIATION...
EAST WINDS 10-15 KTS EARLY THIS MORNING WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE
SOUTHERLY AND GUSTY BY THIS AFTERNOON. PREVAILING SHOWERS AT KAFP
THROUGH 13Z...OTHERWISE VCSH THIS MORNING. SOME THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...THEN SHOWER CHANCES DIMINISH A BIT LATE
THIS EVENING. OCSNL MVFR CIGS ARE FORECAST...AND 4-6SM IN SHOWERS
WILL BE COMMON...BUT NEITHER APPEAR TO PREVAIL AND NOT INCLUDED IN
6Z TAF ISSUANCE. BRIEF SIGNIFICANT VSBY/CIG DEGRADATION IS
POSSIBLE IN HEAVIEST SHOWERS.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 847 PM EDT WED JUN 5 2013/
UPDATE...
TROPICAL STORM ANDREA HAS BEEN NAMED AND IS CURRENTLY CENTERED
ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. ASSOCIATED MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINFALL ALONG WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO
SPREAD ACROSS THE SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA THIS EVENING. CURRENT
RADAR TRENDS ARE KEEPING THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL ACROSS THE GULF
WATERS. LATEST HRRR TENDS TO KEEP THIS TREND GOING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. UPDATED QPF GRIDS SLIGHTLY BUT THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK. UPDATE SENT.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 205 PM EDT WED JUN 5 2013/
SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO EVOLVE NORTH OF THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA AS IT DRIFTS SLOWLY TO THE NORTH. THIS SYSTEM
REMAINS POORLY ORGANIZED ALTHOUGH DEEP CONVECTION FLARED UP JUST
EAST OF THE CENTER LAST NIGHT AND THIS HAS PRODUCED A MASSIVE
CLOUD SHIELD ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND OUR WATERS WITH AREAS OF
LIGHT RAIN AND EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS MAINLY ACROSS THE GULF
WATERS. THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TO THE BROAD
CIRCULATION LOCATION BUT DIFFER WHERE THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN CLOSEST
ALIGNMENT AND TAKE IT TOWARDS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE BY THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. THIS PLACES SOUTH FLORIDA UNDER A
CONTINUED FLOW OF DEEP TROPICAL AIR WITH A SOUTHERLY STEERING FLOW
TODAY BECOMING MORE SOUTHWEST BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE REAL
DILEMMA IS THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER RESTRICTING THE INSTABILITY
WHICH IS CURRENTLY LACKING. THIS ALSO IS REFLECTED IN THE PAST
SEVERAL RUNS OF THE HRRR WHICH IS SHOWING SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY
THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY OVER THE INTERIOR AND THE LAKE REGION BUT
NOTHING MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT. IN ADDITION, IT NOW APPEARS THAT
THE GREATEST IMPACTS FROM THE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE THE SLIM
POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO NEAR THE WEST COAST AND WATERSPOUTS OVER
THE GULF WATERS MAINLY LATER TONIGHT INTO LATE THURSDAY. THIS
REALLY IS ALSO DEPENDENT ON WHETHER OR NOT CONVECTION CAN FORM
EAST OF THE LOW CENTER. IN ADDITION, AS THE LOW MOVES TO THE NORTH
THE SURFACE WIND WILL BEGIN TO BACK TO THE SOUTH AND INCREASE IN
SPEED AS THE LOW IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN. THIS WILL RESULT IN
AN ONSHORE FLOW ALONG COASTAL COLLIER COUNTY. THE GULF TIDES ARE
RUNNING AROUND A FOOT ABOVE NORMAL SO THIS COMBINED WITH THE
ONSHORE WIND, THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
ESPECIALLY NEAR EVERGLADES CITY, MARCO ISLAND AND THE COASTAL
AREAS OF NAPLES.
ONCE THE LOW MOVES WELL TO OUR NORTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES,
THE CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO THIN AND CLEAR OUT ALLOWING THE
ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE AND THIS IS INDICATED IN THE FORECAST
SOUNDINGS WITH SOME COOLING AT 500 MB BY ONE DEGREE CELSIUS. THE AFFECTS
WILL MAINLY BE MORE LIGHTNING ACTIVITY WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS WITH
THE STRONGER STORMS.
LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
BY SATURDAY, THE LOW WILL BE MOVING INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC WITH
BAND OF DEEP MOISTURE TRAILING TO ITS SOUTHWEST ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTH FLORIDA WITH A DEEP LAYER RIDGE BUILDING BACK ACROSS THE
PENINSULA. THIS WILL REVERT THE PATTERN BACK TO A EASTERLY
STEERING FLOW WITH LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING ACTIVITY ALONG THE
EAST AND THEN INTERIOR AND WEST COAST DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND
EVENINGS. THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
MARINE... ROUGH MARINE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE GULF
WATERS WITH WIND INCREASING TO SCA CRITERIA ALL AREAS LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY. THERE WILL SCEC ALL OTHER WATERS. CONDITIONS
WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE BY THE WEEKEND WITH THE WIND BECOMING EAST
AND DIMINISHING.
FIRE WEATHER...
NO PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS EXCEPT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY
RAINFALL ALONG THE WEST COAST.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT THUNDERSTORMS: ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. TORNADOES: STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR COULD TRIGGER ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADOES. WATERSPOUTS: WATERSPOUTS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE GULF AND ATLANTIC WATERS TODAY AND TONIGHT. FLOODING: LOCALIZED MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN MAY LEAD TO LOCALIZED STREET FLOODING AND FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED AREAS...MAINLY FOR THE GULF COAST TODAY. TIDES ARE FORECAST TO RISE TO 1 TO 1.5 FEET ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE GULF COAST TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING...WHICH MAY LEAD TO MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. WAVES: SEAS WILL RISE TO 7 TO 8 FEET FOR THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. RIP CURRENTS: THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE EAST COAST BEACHES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY SHOWERS ARE LIKELY ANYWHERE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO SLOWLY MOVES TO THE NORTH. THERE MAY ALSO BE SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY ALONG THE GULF COAST. THE MAIN CONCERN AT THIS TIME WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS RESULTING IN LOCALIZED FLOODING. THERE IS A THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER THURSDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES NORTH ACROSS THE GULF WATERS, WITH HEAVY RAIN AND EVEN WEAK TORNADOES A POSSIBILITY MAINLY FOR THE GULF COAST. DETERIORATING MARINE CONDITIONS IN THE FORM OF INCREASING WINDS AND SEAS ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED, HOWEVER INDIVIDUAL SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT FLOODING TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE IN MIAMI.

KONARIKThe Miami radar (KAMX), 121 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 07:17 UTC.
4 tornado, 1 funnel cloud. Local standard time, as filed.
An EF0 tornado moved across Belle Glade with reports of trees down and damage to an awning near 1000 S. Main St. and several power lines down near 400 Martin Luther King Blvd.
An EF-1 tornado tracked almost due north in the Acreage community of north central Palm Beach County. The tornado moved across a suburban, residential community just west of 130th Path North between 69th St. North and 87th St. North. Several homes sustained minor to moderate roof damage, mainly in the form of shingles and roof covering torn off. A couple of homes sustained more substantial rood damage with partial uplift of roofs. Numerous trees were uprooted or sheared off near the trunk, along with plenty of large branches broken or split from the main trunk. Trees damaged consisted primarily of Oaks, Slash Pines and Palms. Flying debris from trees resulted in broken windows in several homes.
One serious injury required hospitalization in a home on 76th Road North. An 85-year old woman was injured when she was struck by flying debris from a large Oak tree which broke through her bedroom window. One home sustained damage to the garage door, causing the door to blow in and leading to the roof being completely punctured above the garage. A few vehicles were moved from their original locations and a 30-foot boat was flipped on its side.
Public reported a funnel cloud near the intersection of Southern Blvd. and State Road 7. The funnel did not touch down.
Storm chasers reported a tornado touching down just east of U.S. 27 about 6 miles north of Alligator Alley/I-75. The tornado likely crossed into Palm Beach County before lifting back up and dissipating. No damage was reported.
Storm chasers reported a tornado touching down just east of U.S. 27 about 6 miles north of Alligator Alley/I-75 in Broward County. The storm producing the tornado moved almost due north and the tornado likely crossed into Palm Beach County east of US 27 and southwest of Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge before lifting back up and dissipating. No damage was reported.
