.AVIATION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP. WE EXPECT
THE FOCUS TO BE ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND EAST COAST...SO WILL PLACE
A TEMPO THIS AFTERNOON FOR TSRA FOR ALL EAST COAST TERMINALS. SOME
OF THE TSTORMS COULD PRODUCE FREQUENT LIGHTNING, DAMAGING WINDS
AND HAIL SO WILL MONITOR CLOSELY. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO WANE
DURING THE EVENING HOURS. /GREGORIA

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 730 AM EDT THU APR 23 2015/
AVIATION...
THE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS MORNING OVER THE TAF
SITES BEFORE BECOMING SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 KNOTS AFTER 17Z TODAY
FOR THE EAST COAST TAF SITES. KAPF TAF SITE WILL SEE WESTERLY
WINDS AFTER 15Z TODAY AT 5 TO 10 KNOTS. THE WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN
DRY FOR THE EAST COAST TAF SITES THIS MORNING BEFORE THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS AND PUSH EAST INTO THE EAST COAST
TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...VCTS WILL BE IN PLACE AFTER
17Z TODAY FOR THE EAST COAST TAF SITES. KAPF TAF SITE WILL SEE
SHOWERS AROUND ALL DAY. THEREFORE...VCSH WILL BE IN PLACE FOR KAPF
TAF SITE TODAY. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD EVEN PRODUCE WIND GUSTS
UP TO 45 TO 55 MPH ALONG WITH SMALL HAIL OVER THE EAST COAST METRO
AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA.
AT THIS TIME...THE CEILING AND VIS WILL REMAIN IN VFR CONDITIONS
AT THE TAF SITES FOR TODAY. HOWEVER...ANY STORMS THAT DO MOVE
THROUGH THE EAST COAST TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ABLE TO
REDUCE THE VIS AND CEILING DOWN INTO THE IFR CONDITIONS. THIS WILL
BE COVER BY AMENDMENTS TO THE TAF SITES.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 AM EDT THU APR 23 2015/
DISCUSSION...
FORECASTING CHALLENGE AGAIN TODAY WILL BE HOW SWATH OF CLOUDS
FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO THIS MORNING INFLUENCE AFTERNOON STORM
DEVELOPMENT. BASED ON POOR PERFORMANCE/WET BIAS OF THE MODELS OVER
THE PAST FEW DAYS, WILL BE SHADING POPS SOMEWHAT LOWER THAN WHAT
OUR LOCAL BLENDS PRODUCE. MUCH OF THE NEAR TERM MODEL SUITE BRINGS
SOME PRECIP INTO MIA THURSDAY MORNING, AND MODEL SOUNDINGS REALLY
TAIL OFF CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY IN THE AFTERNOON POSSIBLY BECAUSE
OF THIS. PWATS REMAIN ELEVATED AND STILL FAVORABLE SHEAR VALUES
INDICATE AT LEAST AN ISOLATED THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND A STRONG
STORM. SPC HAS HIGHLIGHTED THE EAST COAST OF SOUTH FLORIDA FOR A
MARGINAL RISK WITH DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SEA BREEZE. SURFACE
CONVERGENCE WILL DEVELOP AS INTERIOR W AND EAST COAST SSE WINDS
MEET THROUGH THE INTERIOR AND EAST COAST.
THERE WILL BE ENOUGH NORTHERLY COMPONENT IN THE MID AND UPPER
LEVEL FLOW TO SHOVE ANOTHER FRONT INTO THE LAKE REGION LATER
FRIDAY, WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVING OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST
BEHIND IT. WINDS WILL VEER TO THE EAST INTO FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS
SOUTH FLORIDA AND INCREASE IN MAGNITUDE SOMEWHAT. IN ADDITION,
MUCH DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE IN THE MIDLEVELS WITH PWATS BEGINNING
TO FALL. SOME COASTAL AND OFFSHORE SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE TO BEGIN
FRIDAY, BUT LLVL EASTERLY FLOW MAY SHIFT THE FOCUS FOR MOST OF
THE PRECIP TO INTERIOR AND WEST BY THE SECOND HALF OF FRIDAY.
RELATIVELY DRIER AIR ALOFT REMAINS THROUGH THE WEEKEND, AS UPPER
RIDGING POKES NORTH FROM THE CARIBBEAN, AND THE ZONAL H3 JET
PARKED OVER THE GULF COAST FOR MANY DAYS, IS DISPLACED NORTH. THE
NAM/GFS/ECMWF ALL HAVE +20C H85 AIR OVER HALF OF SOUTH FLORIDA BY
SUNDAY, WHICH IS AN IMPRESSIVELY OPPRESSIVE AIRMASS EVEN FOR SOUTH
FLORIDA CONSIDERING IT IS ONLY APRIL. HEAT AND LACK OF RAIN
SCREAMS BEACH WEEKEND.
HOWEVER, THE UPPER RIDGE WILL EASILY BE FORCED BACK SOUTH INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE THAT AN UPPER
TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND THROUGH TEXAS
EARLY NEXT WEEK, WILL PHASE WITH A TROUGH OVER THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY INTO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT
THIS SOLUTION DOES HAVE SUPPORT AMONG THE ENSEMBLES, GEFS/NAEFS.
H5 HEIGHT ANOMALIES OF 3.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL WITH
THIS SYSTEM ALONG THE GULF COAST, SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD TAKE
NOTICE. THIS VERY WELL COULD CARVE OUT A CLOSED UPPER LOW AND DEEP
TROUGH EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, WHICH COULD SEND A
FORMIDABLE COLD FRONT NEAR SOUTH FLORIDA NEXT WED OR THURS. STILL
MANY DAYS AWAY, BUT THIS COULD BE AN ACTIVE STRETCH OF WEATHER.
MARINE...
GOOD MARINE CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST.
WINDS ACCELERATE TO ABOVE 10 KTS DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE
WEEKEND AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
WATERS.
