Damaging Wind in Florida, June 26, 2016

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
445 PM EDT SUN JUN 26 2016

.DISCUSSION...

--Near Term (tonight and Monday)--
Little change in the pattern through Monday. A back-door front
approaching northeastern Florida this afternoon will continue to
wash out before approaching the area. Light easterly winds Monday
will allow the east coast sea breeze to again move into the
interior, and hold the Gulf breeze near the west coast metro
areas, which will again be the two main focus areas for showers
and thunderstorms Monday afternoon.

--Short to Medium Range (Monday night through Wednesday night)--
Another front (currently over the Midwest) will make a run at
northern Florida before stalling and washing out north of the area.
Surface high pressure over the western Atlantic will also
strengthen. These two features will allow winds to turn more
southerly and become confluent over the southern peninsula. With
seasonably abundant moisture remaining in place, diurnal showers
and thunderstorms over south Florida will remain in the forecast.
With a more southerly component to the surface flow, afternoon
showers and thunderstorms may develop a little closer to the east
coast urban corridor than previous days. Warming temperatures
aloft should keep any chance for severe thunderstorms low.

--Long Range (Thursday through Sunday)--
Generally northwest flow will continue over the midwest and mid-
Atlantic states, with a Bermuda high remaining in place. This
should continue to promote generally light southeast flow over the
region into the weekend. Daytime showers and thunderstorms
developing along the Gulf and Atlantic sea breezes will continue
to be the predominant weather.

&&

.MARINE...
Light to gentle easterly breezes to continue Monday, before a
more southerly component develops Tuesday. Wave heights will be
generally 2 feet or less. Locally higher winds and waves are
possible for brief periods near thunderstorms.
