NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 5, 6:53 AM EST, 1 hour 37 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Miami FL 653 AM EST Sun Nov 5 2017 .AVIATION... Northwest winds of 5 to 10 knots this morning will swing to a northeast direction after 17Z today over the east coast taf sites. The weather will remain dry across the east coast taf sites along with VFR conditions. However, the vis and ceiling could fall down into IFR conditions between 12Z and 13Z this morning at KPBI, KFXE, and KTMB taf sites due to patchy fog in the area. KAPF taf site will remain northeast around 5 knots this morning before swinging to a northwest direction after 18Z today. The weather will also remain dry at KAPF taf site today, but the ceiling and vis could fall down into MVFR conditions between 12Z and 13Z due to patchy fog in the area early this morning. && AVIATION...54/BNB .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 316 AM EST Sun Nov 5 2017/ DISCUSSION... Short Term (Today-Tuesday)...models depict prevailing deep high pressure anchored to the west of the state, and sfc ridging across South Florida through mid-week. This synoptic setup will keep the area under mainly NNE flow, generally stable conditions, and keeping low chances of rain for most of the short term. With the light winds in place and enhanced radiational cooling at night, periods of patchy fog are possible early Monday Morning, mainly interior and west coast areas. Temperatures will remain slightly above normals for most locations. Long Term (Tuesday night-Saturday)...the synoptic pattern seems to modify a little by the end of the work week week as a mid lvl short wave trough and a sfc disturbance develop to the north of the state. However, it may only translate into slightly better chances for showers Friday afternoon. Otherwise, not a lot of changes through the long term. MARINE...benign marine weather is expected for all South florida waters through the mid-week. A northeast wind may be gusty at times, and may cause a few issues for small craft through the week. Therefore, operators of small craft should remain well informed with the latest marine forecast and use caution while out on the open waters. BEACH FORECAST...a coastal flood statement is now in effect for the entire Atlantic coast with possible modest water level increases today with the arrival of the king tides. Best chances of experiencing some tidal flooding will be between 8-10 AM this morning and again 8-10 PM tonight. AVIATION...Drainage flow at all sites should keep current Atlc SHRA off the coast through at least daybreak. Isold SHRA may affect east coast sites through the TAF cycle thereafter, but current threat is too low to mention in forecast. Winds become NE 8-12kts for east coast after 17Z with Gulf Breeze at KAPF after 19Z. Drainage flow expected to setup again at all sites after 06/00Z tomorrow eve. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
