...POSSIBILITY OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING SOUTHWEST COAST TUESDAY NIGHT...

 

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA.

 

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

 

WINDS: A COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA ON

TUESDAY. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM, WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WITH

WINDS OF AROUND 25 KNOTS FROM THE SOUTH REACHING THE OFFSHORE

WATERS OF COLLIER COUNTY LATE TONIGHT.

 

NO OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME TODAY OR TONIGHT.

 

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

 

STRONG LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA ON

TUESDAY WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT SWEEPING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA.

A FAST MOVING LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS FORECAST TO MOVE

ACROSS THE AREA...AFFECTING THE GULF COAST SHORTLY AFTER

SUNRISE...THEN MOVING FAST ACROSS THE PENINSULA AT 40 TO 50

MPH...EXITING THE ATLANTIC COAST SHORTLY AFTER NOON ON TUESDAY.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA ON

TUESDAY DUE TO INCREASING WIND FIELDS. THE PRIMARY IMPACT FROM THE

STORMS IS EXPECTED TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS TO AROUND

60 MPH. HOWEVER...A TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

 

MARINE CONDITIONS WILL RAPIDLY DETERIORATE TUESDAY AS THIS SYSTEM

MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTH FLORIDA COASTAL WATERS. ALONG THE SOUTHWEST

FLORIDA COAST, STRONG ONSHORE FLOW TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT  WILL

RESULT IN DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS. THESE SAME CONDITIONS TUESDAY

NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT COMBINED WITH HIGH SEAS IN EXCESS OF 10 FEET

OFFSHORE AND A FULL MOON WILL LIKELY RESULT IN ROUGH MARINE CONDITIONS

AND A POSSIBILITY OF A ROUGH SURF, SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AND

BEACH EROSION. BEST CHANCES FOR ANY COASTAL FLOODING THAT COULD RESULT

FROM THIS WOULD BE AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE WHICH IS EXPECTED

SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT.

 

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS, SIMILAR CONDITIONS

WILL RESULT IN SEAS IN EXCESS OF 7 FEET OFFSHORE WHICH ARE LIKELY

TO LAST MUCH OF THE WEEK AS WINDS REMAIN FROM THE NORTHWEST

PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE GULF STREAM WATERS.

 

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT, MINIMUM WIND CHILL VALUES

WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL RUN IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS GLADES

COUNTY AND LOWER 40S ELSEWHERE AWAY FROM COASTAL AREAS EXCEPT FOR

PALM BEACH COUNTY.
