Synopsis.. A weak area of low pressure will continue moving off to the northeast away from the state early this week, leaving light west-southwest flow across south florida. A small northeasterly swell may arrive for the atlantic waters in the wake of the system mid to late week, bringing seas to 3 to 4 feet. Showers and storms can be expected each day, with the highest coverage moving offshore the atlantic coast in the afternoons.

Area Discussion for - Miami-South Florida, FL
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmfl 251402 afdmfl area forecast discussion national weather service miami fl 1002 am edt Sun aug 25 2019 Update The area of low pressure that was over south florida yesterday has lifted out to the northeast of florida this morning, remaining disorganized as it drifts away. It continues to be monitored by nhc for additional development, with a medium chance in the next 48 hours and a high chance in the next five days. While this system will no longer be directly impacting us, it leaves behind a well defined trailing low-mid level trough across central and south florida. Satellite imagery and radar this morning show two large scale convergence bands associated with this feature; one aligned from jupiter-lake okeechobee-naples, and the other from grand bahama-biscayne bay-cape sable. Showers and storms are already picking up in coverage along the aforementioned convergence bands late this morning, and expect activity to continue to increase as we head into midday and peak heating. The east coast seabreeze is a little uncertain given the prevailing SW flow, but feel speeds are generally light enough for a weak boundary to develop just inland from the coast by early afternoon. This will lead to a pile up of activity along the east coast mid to late afternoon, especially across palm beach and broward. With a moist tropical atmosphere still in place, and the best rain chances across areas that saw heavy rainfall yesterday, flooding remains the main threat. Prev discussion issued 740 am edt Sun aug 25 2019 aviation... lingering influence from yesterday's weak low pressure system keeping prevailing SW flow, though very light. East coast seabreeze uncertain, but expect at least a S to ssw backing 16z- 18z. Ongoing shra likely to expand after 15z, though kapf may see vcnty activity to start cycle. Shra tsra shift towards east coast late afternoon, with activity winding down towards sunset. Light and variable winds overnight. Prev discussion... Issued 405 am edt Sun aug 25 2019 discussion... a weak low pressure system, which has been wandering around the region for the last couple of days, should begin it journey off to the northeast, along with a 500mb low. As the system exits the area, models are indicating some weak ridging at 500mb, and a fairly neutral sfc pattern over south florida. There is still a bermuda high sitting well to the east north east, which will help to shift the surface wind to the southwest behind the system. However, pwats should continue to run over 2 inches for a couple more days. This with daytime heating should allow for mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms to affect the area. The models are not showing much in the way of a sea breeze today, at least not for the atlantic coast. With the SW flow, the eastern half of the cwa, especially around the lake and in broward and palm beach counties, look to have the best chances for convection today. With the are still fairly saturated, the flooding of roadways and low laying areas may still be subject to flooding. The GFS is indicating that the 500mb temperatures should be around -6c and cape should be between 1500 and 2000 j kg. Again, conducive for diurnal convection today. Monday looks to be very similar to Sunday, with perhaps a somewhat stronger SW flow. Tuesday, the pattern begins to change a little, with some drier |
air trying to work is way in and a weak high trying to build over the keys. However, the GFS is showing the drier air may have some trouble totally covering the area. Even so, pwats may drop to below 2 inches for much of the area for Tuesday and Wednesday. Cape values also drop to around 1000 j kg over much of the area, with the exception of the lake region, which is still around 2000 j kg. Wednesday shows a more consistent CAPE value of around 1600 j kg in the afternoon. Tuesday should see a downward trend of coverage, which GOES into Wednesday, with only a chance of showers and thunderstorms across the area. The GFS and ECMWF show the low is slowly moving away from the area, still sitting off the carolina coast on Wednesday. There is a possibility that the area could see a dry slot behind this system. Both models are hinting at this solution, but with slightly different timing, and coverage. So confidence is fairly low at this time that this will occur. By the latter half of the week, a strong 500mb trough will be traversing southern canada and the great lakes region. This trough should pick up the low and quickly move it away from the carolina coast, and bring a cold front as far south as north florida, maybe even north central florida by Thursday morning. This, of course would keep south florida in the warm sector and keep convection in the forecast for the remainder of the week. This will increase pops for Thursday. However, the bermuda high should begin to strengthen and retrograde back towards the area, pushing the front back to the north on Friday, and allowing a south southeasterly flow to set up. This would help to lower the pops a tick along the east coast, but would increase the for the western lake region. Saturday is still very questionable. The wind pattern does look to turn more easterly, which would mean lower pops for the atlantic coast, and an increase for the gulf coast. However, there is a large amount of uncertainty with the weather for the weekend as a tropical system may approach the area. The models are currently showing that the moisture from dorian may move into the area. It is very uncertain if this will be in the form of an organized system, or a simple wave of tropical moisture. It is also possible that the system misses the area entirely. For this reason, have kept pops right around 50 percent for the weekend. As the system gets closer and the models get a better handle on its life cycle, the forecast certainty should increase. Marine... showers and thunderstorms continue to be in the forecast through the week. The wind is forecast to become southwesterly today. By Tuesday, the wind should shift more westerly for the middle of the week. Seas are forecast to run 1 to 3 feet, with some possible building in the gulf stream off palm beach county mid week due to a weak swell. Even then, the models are only calling for 4 foot seas for the middle of the week, before dropping back to the 1 to 3 foot range.
