NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 1:29 PM EST, 4 hours 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 229 PM EDT SUN JUN 1 2014 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-TUESDAY NIGHT)... PERSISTENT MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT. THE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND FILL OVER THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS AS A STRONG RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER NORTHERN MEXICO AND EXTENDS INTO THE SOUTHWEST U.S. AND A STRONG TROUGH MOVES INTO THE WEST CENTRAL ATLANTIC. THIS CONTINUES TO PLACE SOUTH FLORIDA IN A MOIST SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OF AIR WITH PWAT CONTINUING IN THE 1.8 TO 2.0 INCH RANGE THROUGH MONDAY. AT THE SAME TIME, A WEAK RIDGE ALOFT BETWEEN THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGHS WILL MAINTAIN FAIRLY WARM 500MB TEMPERATURES SO THE MAIN THREAT FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS MAINLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ATLANTIC TROUGH WILL SAG SOUTHWARD INTO THE BAHAMAS WHILE THE SURFACE RIDGE SHIFTS SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES BY TUESDAY. MUCH DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND SOME DRYING WILL TAKE PLACE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AS A RESULT, ESPECIALLY ON TUESDAY. HOWEVER, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GLOBAL MODELS ON HOW MUCH DRYING WILL TAKE PLACE. THE CRAZY NAM IS THE MOST BULLISH IN THIS DRYING WITH FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING PWAT DROPPING TO UNDER AN INCH BY TUESDAY. THE MORE PRAGMATIC GFS AND ECMWF ARE MUCH LESS AGGRESSIVE AND WHILE THEY BOTH SHOW SOME DRYING KEEP THE PWAT AT JUST UNDER TWO INCHES WHICH IS MORE REASONABLE FOR EARLY JUNE. SO WILL SHOW A LOWERING OF POPS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY, BUT CERTAINLY NOT AS LOW AS THE MET GUIDANCE WHICH ONLY HAS 10 PERCENT FOR TUESDAY! .LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY-MONDAY)... THE EXTENDED PERIOD REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN ESPECIALLY CONCERNING HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING NEAR THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AROUND MID-WEEK AND THEN LIFTING IT TO THE NORTHEAST. HOWEVER, THE GFS HAS BEEN THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND WHILE IT HAS BACKED OFF FROM EARLIER RUNS STILL SHOWS A MUCH FASTER EVOLUTION AND HAS THE TROUGH APPROACHING THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO BY THE NEXT WEEKEND. STILL, BOTH MODELS KEEP SOUTH FLORIDA IN A MOIST ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THE EXTENDED AND WILL MAINTAIN THE CURRENT TREND OF SCATTERED POPS INTO UPCOMING WEEKEND. && .AVIATION... SHOWERS CONTINUE TO PUSH WEST ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND HAVE HELD STEADY IN COVERAGE THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. GIVEN THIS AND ENSEMBLE OF HIGH RES MODELS KEPT VCSH PREVAILING AT ALL EAST COAST SITES THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. PERIODS OF MVFR CEILINGS CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THESE SHOWERS ALONG EAST COAST SITES THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD BUT OUTSIDE OF PBI WHERE IT HAS BEEN STEADY WILL HANDLE REMAINING SITES WITH AMENDMENTS AS NEEDED. AS PREDICTED EASTERLY WINDS HAVE PICKED UP TODAY AND ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN IN 10-15 KTS RANGE OVERNIGHT AND BECOME GUSTY AGAIN TOMORROW DURING THE DAY EAST COAST SITES. AT APF, DUE TO EASTERLY FLOW PICKING UP, C-BRZ WILL STRUGGLE TO DEVELOP TODAY. SHRA/TSTMS ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING COULD LEAD TO PERIODS OF MVFR OR EVEN IFR CONDITIONS BUT GIVEN UNCERTAINTY WILL HANDLE WITH AMENDMENTS AS NEEDED. EASTERLY FLOW OF AROUND 10 KTS OVERNIGHT WILL BE 10-15 KTS AND BECOME GUSTY BY TOMORROW MORNING. && .MARINE... EAST WIND AND SEAS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THROUGH MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE NORTH AND THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL LEAD TO SEAS BUILDING TO 7 FEET LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MONDAY OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS EAST OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. A SLOW DECREASE IN THE WIND IS THEN FORESEEN LATER IN THE FORECAST AS THE HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS AND SHIFTS SOUTH. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
