AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
309 AM EST THU DEC 5 2013

.DISCUSSION...
THE WEATHER ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA WILL BE IN CONTROL OF A DEEP
LAYER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH
TEMPERATURES RUNNING A FEW DEGREES ABOVE EARLY DECEMBER AVERAGES.
THIS WILL ALSO KEEP THE REGION FREE OF RAINFALL. A MID/UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL AMPLIFY TODAY AND REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A LARGE TROUGH AFFECTS WESTERN AND NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF NORTH AMERICA. A SURFACE RIDGE WILL ALSO MOVE LITTLE
STRETCHING FROM THE ATLANTIC ACROSS THE NORTHERN FLORIDA
PENINSULA. THE MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY BY
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AND SHIFT SOUTH ALLOWING FOR A COLD FRONT
TO MOVE INTO NORTH FLORIDA. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FEW SHOWERS OVER
SOUTH FLORIDA AND LOWER TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF DEGREES DUE TO
INCREASED CLOUDINESS BUT STILL NO MAJOR CHANGES ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS.

.MARINE...
THE WIND WILL MAINTAIN A EAST TO SOUTHEAST DIRECTION THROUGH THE
