GOOD MORNING SOUTH FLORIDA :) HERE IS YOU FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR 10/5: SHORT TERM (TODAY-TUESDAY)... A BROAD MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING COVERS THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE CONTINENT WITH THE FIRST COLD FRONT OF THE FALL SEASON MOVING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. THE FRONT EXITED THE SOUTHEAST COAST JUST PRIOR TO 07Z WITH DEW POINTS FALLING INTO THE LOWER AND MID 60S BEHIND THE FRONT WITH PWAT LOWERING TO WELL UNDER AN INCH. THE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN STATES THROUGH MONDAY KEEPING SOUTH FLORIDA DRY. ON TUESDAY, THERE IS A WEAK DISTURBANCE ROTATING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH AND THIS WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA WHICH IN TURN WILL ALLOW THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH. THIS WILL INCREASE MOISTURE OVER THE REGION WITH PWAT CLIMBING BACK TO NEAR 1.5 INCHES AND DEW POINTS BACK INTO THE LOWER 70S. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL REMAIN RATHER MEAGER AND ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS, IT APPEARS THE THREAT FOR THUNDER WILL BE LOW. THE BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND HAVE REFLECTED THIS IN THE POPS. RIP CURRENTS: NORTH-NORTHEAST WINDS NEAR 15 MPH AND A GRADUALLY INCREASING NORTHEAST SWELL WILL LEAD TO A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. FARTHER SOUTH, THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE BROWARD AND DADE COUNTY BEACHES. Today Sunny. Highs in the mid 80s. North winds 10 to 15 mph. Tonight Mostly clear. Lows around 70. North winds 5 to 10 mph.
