The issue has been reported. 5/23/2017 - Worked with NOAA again to speed up the 7 day forecast load times. Thanks to them for being responsive. 5/19/2016 - There were issues with the 3 day airport observation history. I switched to another data source. Let me know if you see any issues with the data feeds. |

Updated national weather service miami fl 1020 am edt Fri jul 28 2017 Update As of 1020 am edt... A more active convective day is expected across south florida as a weakening ridge allows winds to veer more southerly. With a more southerly wind flow in place, the east coast sea breeze will have a difficult time making any decent inland push, while the gulf sea breeze will be able to go inland further than usual. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible, especially later this morning into the afternoon, with coverage becoming more numerous towards the late afternoon as activity drifts and becomes focused over portions of the east coast metro. Poor drainage flooding in east coast urban areas will be of concern later today, as storms will be slow to move with fairly light steering flow. Frequent lightning and brief gusty winds of 30-40 mph will also be of concern with the strongest storms. Outside of the storm potential for today, it will be hot yet again with high temperatures well into the 90s. Heat indices will generally be as hot as 105 degrees in most areas, with a few areas briefly flirting with higher values at times. Will continue to monitor potential for a short-fused heat advisory, but expected convective development should hinder any more extreme heat concerns for today. Prev discussion issued 732 am edt Fri jul 28 2017 aviation... generallyVFR flying conditions will prevail at the TAF sites, with MVFR and possibly ifr restrictions in and around thunderstorms. With flow becoming more south southwest, east coast sites should see a better opportunity for activity later this morning and through the afternoon, with vcts possible. Will continue to assess trends in model guidance and may include tempo groups to account for better timing in future amendments. East coast sea breeze will have a hard time pushing inland today, but still expect southeast winds generally around 10 knots, except southwesterly at kapf. Prev discussion... Issued 328 am edt Fri jul 28 2017 discussion... today: upper trough over southern ga and northern fl will move into western atlantic waters today before it gets pick up by a deepening trough along the northeast plains the coming week. This has allowed for the ridge to erode with a more S to SW flow setting up over the fl peninsula. There is still the potential for afternoon scattered showers and storms mainly in the interior and building into the east coast metro areas as the steering flow shifts more southwest today. This will also limit east coast sea breeze from developing this pm. High temperatures will remain above normal |
ranging from the low to mid 90s across the forecast area. Dewpoints will lower into the mid to low 70s today helping keep heat indices ranging from the 100-108. Conditions will remain below advisory criteria at this time for all south fl. This weekend and next week: southwesterly flow will prevail through the weekend as upper level low over the northeast plains deepens an elongated trough along the east coast. This trough is expected to remain in place through next week, potentially digging as far south to fl bringing an unseasonably robust surface front into the state Monday, potentially reaching as far south as central fl. Abundant deep moisture ahead of the front will result in an increase period of precipitation through mid week across south fl, with a few more stronger storms possible as temps aloft cool down. Western atlantic ridge gradually retrogrades westward returning SE flow across south fl and as a result lifting the moist boundary north. There will be a chance of showers and thunderstorm through the end of the week but with less coverage into Friday. A thick plume of saharan dust is observed tracking east over the atlantic. This time it looks more robust stretching across the atlantic into the greater antilles and eventually into florida by the end of the week into next weekend. Models continue to show a decent bulk of it north enough for most of the fl peninsula to feel the effects of it. Marine... Southeasterly winds will veer south to southwest today into the weekend around 10 knots and begin to pick up up to 15 knots over the 15 knots into Sunday. Expect the gulf seabreeze to develop today, with the atlantic breeze struggling to develop as winds shift more sw. Afternoon showers and storms will generally remain over the interior, with more isolated activity over the open waters during the nights and morning. Coverage of showers and storms are expected to increase as we head into the weekend and early next week. Ridge begins to build by the end of the week returning light southeast flow across the coastal waters.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
