What's New / NOTES 6/25/2017 - NOAA is having a major issue that impact the 7 day forecast load times. Many users are reporting problems. 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.

Fxus62 kmfl 280004 afdmfl area forecast discussion national weather service miami fl 804 pm edt Tue jun 27 2017 Update Ir satellite imagery shows convection dwindling across the cwa with cloud tops slowly warming. However, leftover boundaries from this evenings storms may trigger a few showers and storms during the next several hours. Another feature of interest is the line of thunderstorms pushing northward off of the cuban coast. Short term models show outflow from this activity possibly interacting with boundaries near our coast early Wednesday morning. If this occurs, additional thunderstorms may develop over the atlantic waters. Will continue to monitor through the night. Previous forecast package appeared on track, so besides loading in the latest wind and sky guidance, did not have to teak other forecast parameters. Prev discussion issued 723 pm edt Tue jun 27 2017 aviation... Lingering convection this evening inland of terminals, but will have to monitor outflow boundaries for additional isolated development in the vicinity of both kapf and east coast terminals through 02z. For now, best potential will be at kapf where vcsh will start the forecast. Light calm winds overnight with dry forecast expected. Tomorrow looks similar to today with vcts at all sites beginning 14z-16z as seabreezes develop and move inland. Tempo groups will likely be needed with later TAF packages as timing of tsra can be better pinned down. Prev discussion... Issued 358 pm edt Tue jun 27 2017 discussion... latest water vapor imagery loop shows a cyclonic spinning low over new york state with a longwave trough draped along the the mid-atlantic. Surface analysis indicates a east- west oriented stationary boundary sitting stagnant across north- central florida. This feature has managed to push the bermuda high eastward, away from our region, resulting in near natural flow. Thus, well established sea breezes have already developed and continue to push inland, towards the interior. Satellite derived pwat values range from 1.7 inches in the southern peninsula to near 2.0 inches further north. These values are slightly higher than climo and more than sufficient for heavy, slow moving storms. With a modified dcape of 1,400 j kg, wet microbursts producing strong wind gusts are also a possibility. Short term model guidance progs convection to propagating across the interior through the early evening. After diurnal heating ceases, activity should begin to wane. SPC has placed a marginal risk of severe weather from west palm beach to lake okeechobee, so will continue

to monitor for the remainder of the day. Tomorrow should be a similar set up, with not much changing synoptically. Light flow will again lead to sea breeze convergence inland from the coasts. As the day progresses, outflow boundaries will shift most of the convection towards the interior. Maximum temperatures tomorrow are forecast to hover in the upper 80s along the coasts, with lower 90s inland. These values are around normal to slightly above normal for this time of year. Late next week into the weekend: by Thursday, both the GFS and ecmwf prog the aforementioned front to wash out and retreat northward. This will allow surface high near bermuda to once again increase in strength. Stronger southeast flow will begin to concentrate afternoon convection back towards the western interior, as sea breeze collision shifts west. Friday into this weekend, a more typical summertime regime reestablishes itself. Long range models show an elongated high building aloft over the peninsula with surface high building near bermuda. This pattern typically brings persistent southeast flow. Afternoon convection will most likely occur in the western interior and gulf coast with night showers affecting the east coast metro region. Pwats decrease slightly below climo during this time frame, so not anticipating much in the way of significant heavy rain events. Marine... Winds and seas should remain below small craft advisory criteria across the local waters through the forecast period with mainly light southeasterly flow prevailing. Sea breezes may enhance winds near the coast to 10-15 knots at times each afternoon. Only exception will be with any thunderstorm that forms, which will bring brief periods of strong gusty winds and rough seas. Waterspouts are also possible, especially in the morning hours, mainly over the atlantic waters. Seas will be 3 feet or less heading into the weekend.
