8/26/2020 The 7 day forecast is taking about 5 seconds to load but it will eventually load. NOAA is still working on it. 8/18/2020 NOAA continues to have trouble. Wind guest will occasionally be left off graphs. I am working with NOAA to resolve the issue. 12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Aviation (12Z TAFs).
A stalled stationary boundary across the region will keep deep moisture and enhanced rain and storm chances in place. Confidence in the timing and coverage of convection for today remains low at this time, though coverage should increase after 18Z. Anticipate MVFR to locally IFR cigs/vis in any heavy downpours this afternoon and evening.

.Flooding Possible Into This Weekend.
Short Term .
Today .
A coastal trough has set up over the east coastal metro areas early this morning. This has allowed for a line of showers and thunderstorms to develop over the metro areas of Palm Beach County early this morning. There was also showers and thunderstorm developing over the coastal areas of Miami-Dade and southern coastal areas of Broward County. These showers and thunderstorms should continue over the metro area of Palm Beach County though rest of the early morning hours and fill in over rest of the coastal areas of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties through rest of the early morning hours. Heavy rainfall is expected from these showers and thunderstorms as the satellite images are showing the PWAT values are around 2.1 to 2.3 inches which is near the maximum values for this time of year.
The coastal trough should dissipate through the morning hours, as the surface winds become more northeast. However, showers and thunderstorms will continue over South Florida today as the stationary front remains over the southern areas of South Florida keeping the PWAT values in the 2 to 2.3 inch range. The mid to upper level trough will also remain over the eastern areas of the United States today keeping the steering flow in the south to southwest direction. Therefore, there could still be training of showers and thunderstorms today over the region especially over the eastern areas with heavy rainfall that could lead to some flooding especially over the east coastal areas where it is currently raining.
Long Term .
Tonight through Sunday .
A highly meridional flow pattern will evolve across North America featuring western U.S. ridging and mean eastern troughing. The upper trough will gradually propagate into the Atlantic coastal states, with mid-upper ridging shunted towards the eastern Bahamas in response to the digging wave. A stationary frontal zone should extend from the Yucatan Peninsula into far southern Florida early in the period, with a tendency to slowly drift poleward with time. Deep moisture will reside along the frontal boundary, with east-northeast low-level flow enhancing boundary layer convergence along the Atlantic coastal areas. Several parameters are favorable for a heavy rain event, including tall skinny CAPE profiles, deep warm cloud depths, and precipitable water values exceeding 2.2 inches. Warm rain processes are therefore expected with rain rates potentially exceeding 2-4 inches per hour. Street and urban flooding is probable in this environment. However, an additional concern is the potential for localized training/backbuilding of thunderstorm clusters given the anticipated frontal upglide/coastal convergence. This may bring a flash flooding risk as well should this scenario occur. There is currently low confidence in placing the greatest flash flooding threat, as this depends on mesoscale details not yet elucidated. However this setup suggests the Atlantic coastal portions of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties would be most vulnerable. An aggravating factor is the high astronomical tides, and the potential amplification of any flood event should heavy rainfall coincide with a high tide cycle. A reasonable worst case scenario for total rain amounts is 4-6 inches along the Atlantic coastal/metro areas, tapering off to 2-3 inches for the interior, Gulf Coast, and Lake Okeechobee regions. As always, isolated higher totals are possible. Given this potential, a Flood Watch was issued for the Atlantic coastal and metro areas through this weekend.
Monday through Wednesday .
A progressive flow pattern remains across the CONUS, as shortwave perturbations progress through the mean eastern trough. The aforementioned frontal zone should remain stalled in our vicinity keeping rain/thunderstorm chances above the climatological mean. The evolution of a low pressure system over the northwest Caribbean Sea could also enhance deep moisture across our area depending upon its development (or lack thereof). Regardless of whether tropical development evolves, localized heavy rain and flooding may remain a concern with the front sticking around. This is especially true if a heavy rain event evolves across some portion of our area over the weekend. Keep up with forecast changes.
Marine .
A cold front across the region will continue to bring northerly or northeasterly winds through the remainder of the workweek before a more easterly transition takes shape this weekend. Outside of the potential for scattered showers and storms, wind and seas should remain somewhat favorable through Friday. On Saturday pressure gradient begins to increase, especially over the Gulf waters as a surface low develops across the western Caribbean.
Hydrology .
Total rain accumulations of 4 to 6 inches are possible into this weekend with isolated higher amounts. This may lead to flooding and/or flash flooding. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect through Sunday for the Atlantic metro and coastal areas.
