Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 656 AM EST Sun Dec 10 2023

New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 226 AM EST Sun Dec 10 2023

Conditions start becoming unsettled today as a strong mid level trough progresses across the eastern US, pushing a cold front across the SE US and the Florida peninsula. Ahead of the front, SSE winds will become breezy and gusty, with cloud cover gradually increasing across much of the area into the afternoon. PWATs are forecast to gradually increase up to the 1.5 to 1.7 inch range as the front nears our area, which will support enhanced convection over the coastal waters first, and then spreading over land.
Latest POPs remain in the 40 to 60 percent chance, with a chance of thunderstorms late Sunday evening and through the night. Can’t rule out a few stronger cells with gusty to damaging winds and frequent lightning, especially along the Atlantic coastline where coastal convergence may promote deeper convection.

The front will clear our area by early Monday morning and an area of high pressure will start to build in from the SE US. This should usher a brief period of dry, quiet weather as cooler, drier air advects over our area. It will also help keep daytime temps on Monday in the 70s and overnight temperatures in the mid 50s (over the interior) and mid 60s (along the East Coast). Winds behind the front will remain breezy, with northerly to northeasterly winds 15-20 kts.

LONG TERM
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 226 AM EST Sun Dec 10 2023

Long range solutions keep the decaying boundary lingering near the Florida Keys for much of the extended period, supporting enhanced pressure gradients across the southern half of the peninsula. Therefore, expect periods of breezy and gusty northeasterly winds, especially in the afternoon hours across much of South FL. By late Wednesday and through the end of the week, models suggest another surge of moisture as the decaying boundary retrogrades across the area. A stratiform deck should accompany the returning front, with POPs jumping back into the 50, 60, or even 70 percent range, especially around the east coast, on Thursday. Latest ensemble members show possible PWATs of up to 2 inches Thursday afternoon, and potential for isolated max QPF values of up to 4 inches. But since it is too early to embrace any particular solution, the forecast philosophy will remain on the conservative side in terms of QPF, and continue to adjust accordingly as new guidance becomes available.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 633 AM EST Sun Dec 10 2023

Generally VFR conditions and gusty S-SE flow through early afternoon before a front begins to move through the area. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase after 20Z with the potential for bouts of sub-VFR at terminals directly impacted by convection.
Short-fused AMDs for sub-MVFR cigs/vsbys may be needed. The front should be past the terminals around 06Z-09Z, with dry conditions and N-NW flow following behind it.

MARINE
Issued at 226 AM EST Sun Dec 10 2023

Breezy southerly to southeasterly winds at 15-20 kts will prevail today ahead of an approaching cold front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible this evening and overnight as the front pushes through.

Winds and seas will increase behind the front starting tonight and persisting through the end of the week, resulting in hazardous marine conditions across all local waters. Winds are forecast to increase up to 20-25 kts with gusts up to 30-35 kts by the middle of the week, while seas could build up to 6-11 feet across the Atlantic waters. With this in mind, a Small Craft Advisory will be in effect for the Gulf Waters starting 10PM tonight through at least Monday evening. For the local Atlantic waters, a Small Craft Advisory will also go into effect at 4AM tomorrow morning lasting through at least Tuesday evening.

BEACHES
Issued at 226 AM EST Sun Dec 10 2023

The risk of rip currents along Atlantic beaches will remain elevated into next week thanks to onshore flow. A Rip Current Statement remains in effect through this evening. Behind the cold front, the rip current threat will also increase along the Gulf beaches.
