AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 139 PM EDT TUE JUN 9 2015 .AVIATION... CONVECTION FIRING OVER MIAMI-DADE COUNTY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH DEVELOPMENT IMMINENT OVER COLLIER AND BROWARD COUNTIES. LESS LIKELY IS TSRA OVER PBI...WHERE NO TEMPO GROUP EXISTS. AFTER DIURNAL CONVECTION WANES...VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT/CALM WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MID-MORNING WEDNESDAY. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1049 AM EDT TUE JUN 9 2015/ UPDATE... GENERALLY WEAK EAST TO SOUTHEAST SURFACE FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE DAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE POSITIONED EAST OF THE BAHAMAS. LATEST HRRR AND OTHER SHORT TERM HI-RES MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE MAIN CONVECTIVE INITIATION ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PENINSULA AND EXTENDING ACROSS MUCH OF THE INTERIOR AND GULF COASTAL AREAS DUE TO SEA BREEZE INTERACTIONS AND ASSOCIATED OUTFLOWS. BELIEVE CONVECTION MAY BE A BIT MORE ROBUST THIS AFTERNOON THAN YESTERDAY. 12Z MFL SOUNDING SHOWS STEEPER LAPSE RATES WITH SB CAPE VALUES OF 2000+ J/KG...QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY MORNING/S SOUNDING. POP AND WEATHER GRIDS FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON CURRENTLY LOOK GOOD...ONLY ADJUSTED WEATHER ELEMENTS FOR THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON PERIODS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LATEST TRENDING. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 803 AM EDT TUE JUN 9 2015/ AVIATION... AFTER QUIET START TO THE DAY...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. BEST COVERAGE WILL BE INTERIOR OF TERMINALS...BUT FELT 60-70 POP WARRANTED TEMPO GROUPS AT MOST SITES BETWEEN 18-22Z. GUSTY WINDS AND SIGNIFICANT...BUT BRIEF...RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR CONVECTION. OTHERWISE...SE WINDS 10 KTS DURING DAY...LIGHT/CALM OVERNIGHT. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 334 AM EDT TUE JUN 9 2015/ DISCUSSION... TODAY AND WEDNESDAY...COUPLE OF FACTORS FOR INCREASED CHANCES OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PENINSULA TODAY AND WEDNESDAY AND FOR THE FOCUS OF THE CONVECTION TO START SHIFTING TO THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE PENINSULA. ONE IS AN INFLUX OF TROPICAL MOISTURE AND THE OTHER IS THE STEERING FLOW SHIFTING TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS. THE GLOBAL MODEL CONSENSUS AND RECENT SATELLITE DERIVED PWAT ESTIMATES INDICATE THAT TROPICAL MOISTURE IS ENTERING INTO THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FLORIDA STRAITS AND THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS. THE GUIDANCE CONSENSUS INDICATES THAT MOISTURE CONTINUING TO LIFT NORTHWARD AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHERLY TODAY AND WEDNESDAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT REGIONAL PWAT'S COULD BE IN THE 1.8 TO 2 INCH RANGE TODAY AND AROUND 1.8 INCHES ON WEDNESDAY. EVEN THOUGH THE GUIDANCE TREND THE LAST FEW DAYS HAS BEEN INDICTING A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE EASTERN GULF TODAY INTO WEDNESDAY...THE HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT AND THE DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION IS NOT FORECAST TO BE HAMPERED WITH THE GUIDANCE INDICATING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PENINSULA...WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED STEERING FLOW FOCUSING THE GREATEST COVERAGE ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND EASTERN PART OF THE PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE PREVIOUS GUIDANCE TREND WAS A DRYING TREND DURING THIS PERIOD WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE FORECAST TO BUILD INTO THE EASTERN GULF. BUT THE MOST RECENT GUIDANCE NOW INDICATES THAT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SHIFTED SOME TO THE EAST WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FORECAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF. THAT COMBINED WITH LINGERING DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION WILL ALLOW FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY WITH THE FOCUS SHIFTING TO THE INTERIOR AND WEST AS HIGH PRESSURE AND EASTERLY FLOW RETURNS TO THE REGION. BY FRIDAY LESS SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS FORECAST AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...THE GLOBAL MODELS DIVERGE OVER THE WEEKEND ON THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE WITH THE GFS INDICATING DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF AND SOUTH FLORIDA WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. NEVER THE LESS...SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST OVER THE WEEKEND WITH AVAILABLE GUIDANCE INDICATING AVAILABLE MOISTURE TO SUPPORT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. RECENT SAHARAN AIR LAYER/SAL FORECASTS INDICATE THE SAL MIGHT ENTER INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AND LINGERING ACROSS THE REGION INTO FRIDAY. THE MOST LIKELY IMPACT WILL BE JUST HAZIER SKIES THAN USUAL. THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED CHANCE OF RIP CURRENTS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC COAST BEACHES THIS WEEK. A SLIGHT RISK IS EXPECTED TODAY AND WILL INCREASE TO A MODERATE RISK WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND INCREASED WINDS AND SEAS RETURN TO THE REGION LATER THIS WEEK. MARINE... REGIONAL WINDS WILL BE SOUTHEASTERLY AROUND 10 KNOTS OR LESS TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. BY FRIDAY REGIONAL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO THE 10 TO 15 KNOT RANGE BUT COULD APPROACH 16 TO 18 KNOTS IN THE OFF SHORE GULF WATERS...WITH SEAS POSSIBLY REACHING 3 TO 4 FEET IN PORTIONS OF THE ATLANTIC AND GULF WATERS DURING THIS PERIOD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
