AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 348 PM EDT SAT SEP 13 2014 .DISCUSSION... THE LATEST CONSENSUS OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE...BOTH THE GLOBAL MODELS AND THE LATEST HRRR RUN...INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM ACROSS THE FLORIDA STRAITS THIS EVENING AND AFFECT THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA AND ADJACENT WATERS LATER THIS EVENING AND POSSIBLY CONTINUING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON SUNDAY. RECENT SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR RETURNS INDICATE THIS PROCESS IS ALREADY UNDERWAY WITH BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OBSERVED ACROSS THE FLORIDA STRAITS. OVER NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY...A BROAD AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK WESTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL GULF. THE MORE RECENT GUIDANCE HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN INDICATING THAT DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND ADJACENT WATERS WITH LOW LEVEL MASS AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE CONTINUING ACROSS THE REGION INTO SUNDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS COULD BE FAVORABLE FOR SPEED DIVERGENCE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
