The 7 day NWS says that 7 days from now, the front
will have been stalled saturday through next monday over the SE, and then
the front will fall apart, unless something reinforces it, now
that might mean a NW turn if the front is STRONG enough...
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/productview.php ... &version=0.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT - MONDAY)...PERIOD STARTS WITH A STALLED
SURFACE FRONT OVER THE GA/FL BORDER AND ITS PARENT MID LEVEL LOW
OVER EASTERN CANADA MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC. A
PERSISTENT SURFACE RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE OVER CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN FLORIDA. GFS ALSO SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC... FLORIDA AND EXPANDING INTO THE CENTRAL GULF
WATERS.
THESE FEATURES REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH FRIDAY WHEN A
SECOND STRONGER TROUGH DEEPENS OVER THE GREAT LAKES AREA AND SENDS
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. WHICH REACHES NORTHERN
FLORIDA BY SATURDAY MORNING. THE SURFACE RIDGE WEAKENS SOME AND
ALLOWS FOR DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE FRONT TO PENETRATE
INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA. MEANWHILE...MODEL DATA CONTINUES TO SUGGEST
A TROPICAL WAVE FEATURE PASSING THROUGH SOUTHERN FLORIDA LATE
FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY.
WITH ALL THESE FEATURES INTERACTING OVER THE AREA...CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE GOOD THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
50/40 POPS REMAIN IN PLACE EACH AFTERNOON AND BEST CHANCES FOR
SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON SATURDAY.
THE FRONT FINALLY
BREAKS DOWN ON MONDAY AND ITS ASSOCIATED MOISTURE FIELD LIFTS
NORTHWARD.Where in the caribbean will this be on monday?
Note a strong cold front making it all the way down
into florida-
if its influence saturday through monday is
still strong, a NW turn is likely...
But if it breaks down by monday
there will be less influence,
but from the current looks of it this trough
will be strong...
The ridge would be substantially
weakened by this "front".
