Synopsis.. High pressure will remain in control over south florida through the week keeping an easterly wind flow over the region and mostly benign marine conditions. Isolated to scattered convection may agitate seas just a bit along with producing brief heavy rainfall and lightning each day.
Gulf stream hazards..Winds and waves could be locally higher in and around showers and Thunderstorms. The approximate location of the west wall of the gulf stream as of aug 06, 2020 at 1200 utc... 10 nautical miles northeast of fowey rocks. 12 nautical miles southeast of port everglades. 9 nautical miles east northeast of lake worth. 12 nautical miles east of jupiter inlet.

Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Miami FL 1052 AM EDT Mon Aug 10 2020
. Late Morning Update .
Update. A cloud-line has developed across portions of the local Atlantic waters. We'll keep an eye on this feature as the day continues, however, no adjustments needed at this time to the current forecast as any rainfall dissipates as it moves onshore. Still expecting convection to develop across the western portions of the Atlantic metros or just lightly west over the interior sections shortly. This activity will generally move west along with the sea breeze through the afternoon. Can't rule out a strong wind gust with the strongest activity. At the moment, temperatures and POPs look good.

.12z Aviation Update.
Aviation . More convection will develop across the western portions of the Atlantic metro again today and slide westward with the sea breeze. APF may need additional short fused tempos as storm chances are slightly higher across the Gulf Coast. Otherwise, light to moderate easterly flow continues.
Prev Discussion . /issued 423 AM EDT Mon Aug 10 2020/
Maximum Heat Indices of 104-109 Across Most Areas Today. A Few Strong Storms Possible Across Interior and Gulf Coast Today.
Short Term . (Monday through Tuesday Night):
A broad area of mid-level high pressure situated across the eastern Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic waters continues to facilitate weak easterly to southeasterly lower to middle tropospheric flow and seasonably modest moisture (PWs of 1.7 to 1.9 inches) across the area. As previously advertised, a batch of relatively drier mid-level air is beginning to gradually spread across the far southern portions of the South Florida County Warning Area, highlighted by a notable mid-level drying trend seen in the latest 00Z MFL RAOB. Present indications are that the slightly drier mid-level air will remain confined to the southern portions of South Florida, allowing for the establishment of a subtle moisture gradient across the area. While the development of an inland-advancing Atlantic sea-breeze circulation and nearly stationary Gulf breeze should once again be the focus for convective initiation today, the aforementioned moisture gradient could also assist in focusing convection towards inland Palm Beach County and the Lake region by this afternoon. With weak deep- layer flow in place, anticipate convection to generally propagate westward along subsequent convective outflow boundaries towards the interior and Gulf Coast of South Florida, where 0-3 km (low- level) lapse rates will be locally steepest due to diurnal heating.
Depending on the magnitude of the mid-level dry air, convective initiation could be somewhat delayed compared to previous days, though this could allow convection to persist a bit later into the evening hours (especially across the Gulf Coast and adjacent waters). The primary hazards with any convection that develops this afternoon will be locally strong convective wind gusts, lightning, and heavy rainfall. The strong wind gust potential may be slightly higher this afternoon than previous days due to the presence of drier mid-level air amid seasonably modest PWs. This could allow for a few wet microbursts to develop across inland and western portions of South Florida, where low-level lapse rates should be steepest and DCAPE will be maximized (south of the subtle moisture gradient). Maximum temperatures will once again be slightly above average, with lower 90s forecast across the eastern portions of South Florida, and middle 90s across inland and western portions of the area. While the presence of drier mid- level air and associated enhanced boundary-layer mixing could slightly reduce heat-related concerns for this afternoon, caution is advised to those taking part in outdoor activities, as heat- related impacts could become a concern (especially prior to the onset of convection).
Short-range model guidance continues to depict a transition day on Tuesday, with a weak low-level trough moving through the southeastern CONUS which will continue to slightly weaken the mid- level high that has been in control of the weather pattern across South Florida. As the low-level trough interacts with the aforementioned high, anticipate a brief tightening of the pressure gradient and a slight enhancement to the easterly/southeasterly flow. Convection should once again initiate along sea-breeze circulations, though a slight increase in moisture could allow for earlier initiation and slightly greater convective coverage (especially across inland and western portions of the area). Maximum temperatures will be closer to normal, as the mid-level high over the area continues to weaken, and Atlantic high pressure becomes the primary influence across the area.
Long Term . (Wednesday through Sunday):
The eastern U.S. trough should continue to shunt the low- mid level ridge center into the western Atlantic by the middle of the week leaving South Florida on the southwest side of the ridge. However, the consensus of the extended range global models is that the ridge should start building back into the SW Atlantic and the peninsula while a trough remains across the eastern U.S. This should result in a modest increase in the pressure gradient yielding a slight increase in the low-level easterly flow particularly across the offshore waters towards late in the week.
A tropical wave across the eastern Caribbean at this time should be moving south of the area by mid week with another wave approaching 50W at this time passing to our south by sometime in the weekend or later. The first wave is wrapped in a lot of dry air around it with a good pocket of dry air also advancing ahead of the second wave that follows behind. This in combination with the ridge to the north building back closer to the region mid to late week, and the trough across the eastern U.S., means the area should remain within a gradient of precipitable water values that should be around or slightly below normal across the area and well above normal farther up north across the state. This scenario should result in a steep gradient in rain chances in the afternoon and evening between east coast and inland/western areas through much of the extended with the usual diurnal shower activity across the Atlantic and east coast overnight and through the morning hours. This could be disrupted some by the second wave moving to our south this weekend or early next week but that remains rather uncertain at this time. The Atlantic ridge to the north could keep any significant increase in moisture with that wave south of the area but global models diverge quite in bit in its timing and extent. So stuck close to the blended guidance for this period. Whether it is this weekend or into next week, some increase in moisture is possible as the wave advances towards the Bahamas and northwest Caribbean Sea. Seasonal temperatures are anticipated through the period.
Marine . Surface high pressure will remain in control across the region through the week. Light to moderate flow will persist and may increase some mid to late week. Regardless, rather favorable marine conditions expected. Showers and storms will be possible through the week, which may locally agitate seas. Additionally, storms may produce locally heavy rainfall and cloud-to-water lightning.
Beach Forecast . Rip current risk is forecast to remain low through the week as marine conditions remain benign outside any thunderstorm activity.
Fire Weather . Light surface and transport winds today and tomorrow will result in fair dispersion conditions at best prior to any onset of convection. Afternoon relative humidities will remain well above marginal levels.
Climate . Although temperatures today will be above normal, the chance of they reaching record levels is very small at this time as low to mid level ridge weakens some.
