Area Discussion for - Miami-South Florida, FL
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmfl 230906 afdmfl area forecast discussion national weather service miami fl 406 am est Wed jan 23 2019 Cold front could bring strong storms on Thursday... Discussion Today is likely the final day of relatively quiet weather before a more unsettled pattern begins over most of south florida. A persistent southeasterly flow will combine with atlantic moisture to produce some chances for light rain showers over the atlantic waters and along the east coast today. Rain chances are expected to increase as the front moves closer to the region tonight. The parent surface low will be centered north of the great lakes in canada with a mid-level trough extending south, along with the surface front, into the gulf of mexico. Not only are showers expected with this front, so are thunderstorms. There is a possibility that the atmospheric environment could support some stronger storms. The main storm modes would be discrete cells well ahead of the front and a quasi-linear convective system or squall line closer to the frontal boundary. One factor raising some concern for stronger storms are 0-1 km helicity values well in excess of 150 m2 s2. The focus of the wind shear is highest over northern portions of the forecast area around lake okeechobee. This will have to be monitored as a strong to severe storm threat could emerge for late tonight into Thursday with this system. The primary concerns would be with strong to damaging winds and the potential for tornadic activity. As we enter Friday, the front will stall south and east of the forecast area. This will allow some drier, cooler air to settle over the region for a brief period of time. Unsettled weather returns for Sunday as some surface tropical moisture from the gulf of mexico and caribbean combines with a mid-level shortwave trough to allow showers and thunderstorms to return to the forecast Sunday into Monday. There is some divergence between guidance on possible solutions in this time period. All seem to have focused on a more southerly track over south florida and the florida straits for the moisture. Some solutions are also resolving a surface low developing (or an elongated trough) which could raise thunderstorm chances for Monday. Once again, the progress of this portion of the forecast will also have to be monitored for strong storm potential in case the surface low were to develop more vigorously than currently forecast. As this disturbance moves out Tuesday, a reinforcing cold front will make its way through the region. It could be a drier frontal passage compared to the one earlier in the forecast though additional moisture could be knocking on the door from the gulf if the front stalls north of the region. Uncertainty this far out in the forecast period is still high as minor changes to the synoptic pattern could mean the difference between dry, cold air |
over the region or warm, moist air. The potential for some very cold air invading part of the state does exist in this portion of the extended, but it is way too early to discern just how impactful any cold air intrusion could be for south florida. Kept a middle of the road philosophy for temperatures through the period with a preference around the mean of the models. Marine A persistent southeasterly flow will continue through the day with advisory conditions continuing over the atlantic waters. The wind should begin to diminish over the gulf waters and lake okeechobee this morning, allowing conditions to slowly improve. As the front moves across the region on Thursday, increasing shower and thunderstorm activity is expected. A brief dry period to kick off the weekend will eventually give way to the next disturbance late in the weekend into early next week. Beach forecast A high risk of rip currents will remain along the atlantic beaches into Thursday thanks to a persistent southeasterly flow today that will shift as the front pushes across the region tomorrow. Behind the frontal passage, some of the gulf beaches could see a brief elevated risk of rip currents on Friday. Prev discussion issued 111 am est Wed jan 23 2019 aviation... a tight pressure gradient across the area continues to bring breezy conditions to south florida. This will continue until a cold front moves through on Thursday. There are a few -shra along the atlantic coast, but on sprinkles for the most part, so left out of the tafs for now. Chances of rain should increase sometime tomorrow night as the front begins to approach the area. A few ts are also possible by Thursday morning.
