AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 306 PM EDT SUN JUN 15 2014 .DISCUSSION... CURRENT CONVECTION IS CONFINED TO THE INTERIOR REGIONS OF THE PENINSULA AND THE LAKE REGION BUT THE AFTERNOON PORTION OF THE FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED WITH THE MOST COVERAGE STILL EXPECTED TO BE IN THE WESTERN INTERIOR. THE LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY OFF THE CAROLINA COAST WILL SLOWLY RETROGRADE SOUTHWEST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND IS FORECAST TO BE OVER THE SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA BY MID-WEEK. THE GUIDANCE ALSO INDICATES THAT THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENTLINGERING MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION ON MONDAY TO HAVE ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND WESTERN REGIONS. BY TUESDAY SOME DRIER AIR COULD APPROACH THE REGION ALTHOUGH GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THERE COULD BE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WITH DIURNAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST FOR THE INTERIOR REGIONS ALTHOUGH THE COVERAGE COULD BE LESS. BY WEDNESDAY BOTH THE GFS AND THE EURO MODELS INDICATE THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH COULD BE IN THE EASTERN GULF AND BOTH MODELS ALSO INDICATE THAT DEEPER TROPICAL MOISTURE COULD ENTER THE REGION. THE SOURCE OF THE TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY BE SOME WEAK TROPICAL WAVES CURRENTLY IN THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN AND AS THEY CONTINUE TO TRACK WESTWARD THE MOISTURE FROM THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE WAVES COULD ENTER THE REGION. SO THE LATEST GUIDANCE PICKS UP ON THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND MOISTURE FEATURES WITH AN APPROPRIATE INCREASE IN THE POP'S FOR MID WEEK INDICATED IN THE FORECAST. && .MARINE...
