| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 109pm EDT Wednesday September 27 2023 Long Term (Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 214am EDT Wednesday September 27 2023 Unsettled weather will continue through the remainder of the week and start of the weekend. Abundant tropical moisture, from the Caribbean, will continue to stream northward between a subtropical high to our east and low in the Gulf of Mexico. PWAT (Precipitable Water) values will be slightly lower, but still around 2.0-2.4 inches. With the plentiful moisture, but lack of low level synoptic forcing, sea breeze and convective outflow boundaries will play the major role in shower and storm formation across the region. The surface winds will be out of the east-southeast on Friday and Saturday. Therefore, the best chance for precipitation will be to the north of Alligator Alley, especially in Palm Beach County and interior. However, there will be, at minimum, a 60-80% chance for afternoon & evening showers and thunderstorms across all of South Florida. Due to high PWATs, saturated soils, and lighter steering flow, there is a chance for flash flooding with heavy rainfall and/or slow moving storms, especially across flood prone areas across our eastern metro corridor. Temperatures will continue to trend warm, with afternoon peak temperatures in the mid 80s to low 90s. In some locations, with clear skies and high dew points, heat indices have the potential to reach the low triple digits, especially in SW Florida. Around mid-weekend, there will be a change in our endless precipitation pattern with the procession of an upper level trough and surface front. The winds will shift to a north-northeasterly direction accompanied by a drop in PWATs (Precipitable Waters) and a slight drop in temperatures into the mid to upper 80s. With the wind shift, it may give some of the recent hardest hit areas a break with the best chance for rain in the southeast and interior of the region. Quantitative Precipitation Forecast values are trending much lighter with potential for dry conditions mid-week. Marine Issued at 1232pm EDT Wednesday September 27 2023 Generally light to moderate easterly to southeasterly winds will prevail through the end of the week as high pressure is positioned north of the area. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the weekend which could result in locally hazardous marine conditions. Seas 2 ft or less today increasing to 2- 4 ft in the Atlantic by the end of the week as northerly swell increases due to a system off the SE coast. Beaches Issued at 1232pm EDT Wednesday September 27 2023 A high risk of rip currents will continue for the Palm Beach County beaches through Thursday evening with a moderate risk for the Broward County and Miami-Dade County beaches. An elevated risk of rip currents is likely to persist for the Atlantic beaches through at least late week as onshore (easterly) flow persists. Minor coastal flooding is possible during high tide cycles this week along the Atlantic coast this week due to King Tides. A Coastal Flood Statement has been issued for the Atlantic coast of South Florida through at least Thursday evening.
