AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 301 PM EDT SAT JUN 14 2014 .DISCUSSION... ALTHOUGH CONVECTION IS OCCURRING ACROSS THE INTERIOR REGIONS...IN GENERAL COVERAGE IS NOT EXTENSIVE YET WITH THE HRRR MODEL INDICATING A LATER START TO THE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. EARLIER RADAR RETURNS ALREADY INDICATED POSSIBLE HAIL IN THE CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHWEST INTERIOR BROWARD COUNTY WITH A LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE EARLIER ANALYSIS FROM THE 12Z SOUNDING INDICATING AN ENHANCED 700 TO 500 HPA LAPSE RATE...DRIER AIR IN THE HAIL GROWTH REGION OF -20 T0 -30 CELSIUS AND A THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE FAVORABLE FOR AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUST. THEREFORE AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WITH HAIL TO NEAR ONE INCH POSSIBLE AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 60 MPH OR JUST OVER. FOR THE SHORT TERM...I.E.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WITH AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE AS WELL. THERE IS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL CONTINUE TO PERSIST ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF THROUGH SUNDAS AND THEREAFTER IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY DRIFT EASTWARD BUT COULD LINGER ACROSS THE REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED 700-500 HPA LAPSE RATES WILL PERSIST SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO MONDAY. THAT COUPLED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUING AND SUFFICIENT MOISTURE...WITH PWAT'S FORECAST TO BE AROUND 1.6 INCHES SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH SIMILAR CONDITIONS POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO TUESDAY. && .MARINE... WITH A WEAKER PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND 10 KNOTS OR LESS ACROSS THE LOCAL GULF AND ATLANTIC WATERS THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH SEAS FORECAST TO BE 2 FEET OR LESS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
