(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmfl 191546 afdmfl area forecast discussion national weather service miami fl 1041 am est Mon nov 19 2018 Discussion Modest westerly flow prevails aloft, with low-level winds turning east-southeast. Column integrated precipitable water from the 19.12z mfl sounding was 1.30, with satellite analysis and model forecast time-height plots indicating this moisture should remain in place today at and below 10 kft, with a pronounced dry layer above this. Surface analysis reveals troughing both along the atlantic coast and in the southeast gulf of mexico, and these boundaries will serve as foci for isolated to scattered shower development today. Easterly flow will then carry these showers into interior south florida this afternoon. Modifying the sounding for heating mixing this afternoon generates a meager 650 j kg of sbcape, and combining this with weak lapse rates and limited forcing, suggests keeping thunder out of the forecast for today. The going forecast remains in good shape, and only minor changes were made to pops sky to account for trends, and to increase wind speeds slightly across the atlantic gulf waters and along the coastal interface. Beach forecast Increased today's rip current risk to moderate for palm beach county beaches, where recent wind wave data suggest that swimming conditions may become more hazardous for today. This elevated risk may persist for palm beach county this week, while increasing for broward and miami-dade county beaches late in the week. Prev discussion issued 652 am est Mon nov 19 2018 aviation... vfr conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period. Winds will generally remain light and variable through the overnight hours. These winds will gradually increase out of the east southeast by the middle of Monday morning to 5 to 10 knots. There could be some isolated to scattered showers through the overnight hours mainly at kpbi. At kapf, a gulf coast seabreeze will develop shifting the winds to the west southwest Monday afternoon. Prev discussion... Issued 233 am est Mon nov 19 2018 discussion... somewhat warmer and more active weather is in store for the week. Models are in pretty good agreement for at least most of the week with the pattern. Cyclogenesis is forecast off the mid-atlantic coast over the next 24 hours. This low will have an associated cold front, which should extend into the gulf of mexico. Models are indicating the front will be fairly weak, and no significant temperature or dew point changes. It is more like a weak boundary moving through. However, it may be enough to initiate some shower activity over the next couple of days. The models do show the front sneaking across the area on Tuesday. This can be seen by the 1000-500 mb thickness decrease on Tuesday. The front will not have a good push behind it and there is uncertainty as to how far south it will make it. However, both the ecmwf and the GFS are hinting it may make it into the florida straits by Tuesday afternoon. Behind the front, high pressure builds to the north. However, the surface wind never really turn to the east, but maintains a fairly dominate northerly component. The high does seem to quell shower activity for Wednesday and Wednesday night. By Thursday, thanksgiving day, a 500mb short wave approaches the area, bringing some instability to the area. Pwats are not very |
impressive, with the GFS showing around a half of an inch. Gfs does also show some weak CAPE for the area, generally around 700 j kg or less across south florida. The higher CAPE tends to stay off shore, according to the model. However, the both the ECMWF and the GFS are indicating another round of cyclogenesis, this time over the western gulf of mexico. This looks to be a slow process, as it takes a couple of days before it becomes a closed low, somewhere near the louisiana coast. However, it does attach itself to the boundary that stalled in the florida straits, giving it a push northward, as weak warm front. This will mainly aid in initiating shower activity for thanksgiving day for a good portion of south florida. Friday looks to be in about the same pattern and therefore showers are still possible for much of south florida. By the weekend, a strong low develops as a lee side low over the plains. This low will quickly move eastward, absorbing the gulf low, and push a cold front into the florida peninsula over the weekend. But alas, it looks like an okeechobee teaser, basically a cold front stalling out in the lake region, and never making it quite into south florida. But it will be enough to keep showers in the forecast through the beginning of next week. So, overall, the week will see a slight chance to a chance of showers for south florida. The atlantic waters may see a few thunderstorms later this week. There does not seem to be any significant change to the temperatures through the week, with highs generally in the 80s, and lows in the 60s and 70s. The weak cold front could bring some upper 50s into the western lake region by Wednesday morning, and for the remainder of the week. Marine... the weather for the next week will see showers in the forecast each day, with a weak cold front slightly enhancing shower coverage Tuesday. The front move back to the north for the second half of the week, which may initiate some thunderstorms over the atlantic waters Wednesday, and again for the weekend. Seas for the next couple of days should run up to a foot in the gulf and 1 to 2 feet in the atlantic. The wind is forecast to increase for the middle of the week, out of the northeast. This would cause seas to build slightly, up to around 3 feet on Wednesday for both the atlantic and the off shore gulf waters. Aviation... vfr conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period.
