000 FXUS62 KMFL 191725 AFDMFL Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 1225 PM EST Tue Feb 19 2019 .AVIATION... VFR conditions through the TAF period, with breezy conditions out of the southeast persisting through the night. No significant fog formation is forecast at this time for South Florida. && PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 338 AM EST Tue Feb 19 2019/ DISCUSSION... Some patchy fog and low ceilings have begun to develop across the Gulf Coast and interior South Florida this morning as a weak frontal boundary stalls just to the north of Lake Okeechobee. This fog could potentially become dense in some areas but should dissipate by mid morning. A fairly benign weather pattern will remain in place through the forecast period with upper level ridging remaining in place through at least the next 7 days. Generally SE flow is expected through the period with slight chances for showers, particularly along the east coast. Above average temperatures will continue this week under this pattern, with high temperatures only a few degrees shy of record highs at times and low temperatures potentially achieving record high minimum temperatures. A cold front is forecast to push southward into Florida sometime around Monday, but staunch upper ridging in place should cause it to lose it's upper level support and wash out to the north of our area. Although the front itself likely won't make it to South Florida, it could cause a slight increase in rain chances towards the end of the weekend into early next week. The slight increase in rain chances and cloud cover should dial high temperatures back by a few degrees early next week, however generally above average temperatures are still expected to continue. MARINE... A generally benign weather pattern is expected through the period as upper level ridging remains in place.
