Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 1017 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 1009 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 Not many changes made to the forecast with the update this morning. A few showers have begun to pop-up along the East Coast sea breeze, with activity expected to gradually ramp up this afternoon. With easterly flow prevailing, much of the convective activity that develops later today will gradually drift westward over interior and southwest Florida. PoPs were capped at or below 60% for this afternoon, with PotThunder values in the 40-50% range. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 201 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 A generally unsettled pattern will remain intact, as subtle mid/upper level troughing remains in place over the region. This will allow for a series of upper level impulses to eject southward, and induce low-level mass convergence within the boundary layer. With a fetch of deep subtropical moisture in place (PW around 1.8 to 2.1 inches) scattered showers and thunderstorms will again remain a concern through the day today. Given the weak westerly flow regime atop a fetch of east-southeast boundary layer winds, expect disorganized clusters of showers and thunderstorms to impact the east coast this morning, gradually impacting the interior and southwest portions of Florida later in the day. There is an outside chance at a few strong to perhaps marginally severe thunderstorms across this interior/southwest sector this afternoon; however actual realization of this is conditionally dependent on forcing for ascent sufficiently juxtaposed with pockets of higher instability. The main impacts associated with thunderstorms will therefore be strong wind gusts, localized flooding, and possibly small hail (less likely). Tuesday will generally remain similar, though with perhaps slightly less overall convective coverage. The aforementioned upper troughing and embedded impulses will allow for bursts that may not necessarily follow the typical diurnal heating pattern. Therefore, one should again anticipate early morning coverage along the east coast, with a gradual inland propagation. The primary hazards to consider will again be strong winds and localized flooding, with the latter being more of a concern for recently saturated locations. The easterly winds will allow for less oppressive conditions, as the east coast should experience maximum temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, and heat indices below 100 degrees. For the interior and west coast, temperatures may reach the low/mid 90s and heat indices may exceed 100, but should remain below advisory criteria. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 201 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 Weak mid-level troughing near the Florida Peninsula will gradually transition to a more zonal pattern by mid-week. At the surface, high pressure in the western Atlantic will continue to induce light easterly wind flow over the region. This setup will lead to a return to a typical summertime pattern across South Florida, with shower and thunderstorm activity driven by sea breezes. Convection will initially develop over local waters and the east coast areas in the morning, shifting towards the interior and west coast in the afternoon and evening. High temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday will generally reach the upper 80s to around 90 along the east coast and the lower 90s in the interior and west coast areas. Heading into the latter half of the week, mid-level troughing will amplify over the Southeastern United States. At the surface, a frontal boundary will advance through the Gulf Coast states and Northern Florida on Thursday into Friday. This front may progress further southeast into Central Florida by the weekend. The exact positioning of the front remains highly uncertain; however, it will cause winds across South Florida to veer to a south to southwesterly direction as the week ends and the weekend begins. While convection will continue to be primarily sea breeze-driven towards the end of the week and into the weekend, the highest chances of storms may shift towards the interior and east coast. The front could provide additional lift and instability, increasing storm chances, depending on its southward progression. This scenario remains highly uncertain due to varying guidance and being at the forecast periods end, and will be monitored as the week progresses. Temperatures will steadily increase through the latter half of the week and into the weekend. Highs will reach the lower 90s along the coasts and the mid to upper 90s in the interior sections. Heat indices will rise into the triple digits across most areas each day, driven by the developing south to southwesterly wind flow. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 709 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 Generally VFR through the morning, with some VCTS for KTMB and KMIA. Brief periods of sub-VFR conditions could be possible this afternoon as SHRA/TSRA develop along the sea breeze boundaries, but confidence is too low regarding impacts at this time; short- fuse TEMPOs could be needed as conditions evolve. Easterly winds to 10 kts will prevail through the period, except at KAPF where the Gulf breeze will push inland after 18Z. && .MARINE... Issued at 201 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 Aside from scattered showers and thunderstorms over the waters, boating conditions will be mostly favorable through this week. Easterly winds around 5 to 10 knots can be expected, with locally elevated winds and seas around thunderstorms. Seas generally should not exceed 2 to 3 feet. && .BEACHES... Issued at 201 AM EDT Mon Jun 3 2024 A high risk for rip currents remains in place today for the Palm Beaches, with an elevated risk for the remainder of the east coast beaches. Conditions continue to improve by mid week as the easterly flow weakens. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
