(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmfl 190751 afdmfl area forecast discussion national weather service miami fl 351 am edt Thu apr 19 2018 Discussion Today and Friday: axis of the ridge centered over the western atlantic will continue to sink south into the region as broad upper level trough moves into the eastern us. This will bring light southerly flow across south florida, allowing both seabreezes to develop and move inland the next two afternoons. The south component will also continue the warming trend with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s, with a few spots over the interior reaching into the lower 90s. Very weak frontal boundary moves down the peninsula late on Friday, bringing an east-northeast wind surge with it overnight as the boundary stalls out across the region. Increasing moisture pooled along the boundary along with the low level convergence will lead to increasing showers Friday night. Saturday through Wednesday: frontal boundary is forecast to stall out somewhere across the state through the weekend, acting as a low level focus for shower development. Models continue to suggest that overall deep moisture and instability will remain limited on Saturday, suggesting as pattern of low topped showers moving from east to west in the brisk low level easterly flow. Potent low pressure system is forecast to slide eastward over the southern CONUS on Sunday, increasing the low level south- southeasterly flow and southwesterly aloft across our area. A broad area of isentropic lift ahead of the low will help to enhance precipitation coverage Sunday into early Monday, though the best focus may end up just to our north and east. Models continue to keep sufficient CAPE in place Sunday and Monday that along with the passing vort maxes and upper level jet in place, there will be enough instability for the mention of isolated thunder. The operational GFS forecast pwat values approach 1.8" during this timeframe, and though ensemble values |
are a little lower, this combination suggests the possibility of heavy rainfall at times. The upper level low is forecast to slowly open into a trough as it slides east, gradually pushing the front back through the region with a clearing trend towards midweek. Marine High pressure gradually sliding further east will keep good boating conditions across south florida through the end of the week. Prevailing flow veers more southerly today as the ridge axis slips into the region, and then light and variable on Friday as a weak frontal boundary moves into the state. Expect both seabreezes to develop both afternoons, with local speed enhancements near the coast. Conditions are forecast to deteriorate Friday night into the weekend as strong east-northeast winds filter in behind the cold front that will stall out across the region. Aviation MainlyVFR though some fog low CIGS overnight could affect apf with sub-vfr conditions possible. Conditions should improve toVFR around sunrise and persist through the day. Seabreezes are expected to develop and push inland today, which will produce an onshore flow at most terminals through a good portion of the day. The wind should become lighter and variable overnight.

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. |
