Ditto that....i plan to join the tourists on the beach thursday or friday. There will definitely be ice on miami beach this holiday....in beach coolers and cocktails!

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Heat Wave!
It's not at all out of the question that if the forecast for the next week verifies, Dec 2008 will be as warm...or warmer...than Nov 2008 was. As of yesterday, the month to date avg in Miami for Dec was 70.6 deg (+0.4 above normal). This number has been steadily increasing by a few tenth's of a degree each day during the warm spell. By comparison, Nov 2008 had an avg temp of 71.8 deg (-2.7 below normal). It's going to be close if the forecast for the next week pans out (low last night was 72 deg...above the avg temp even, so off to a good start).
The lowest temp in Miami in November 2008 was 52 deg. The lowest temp so far (and more than likely to remain as such) in December has been 51 deg.
The winter of 2006/07 was more extreme in this manner...average temps in Miami...
Nov-06 73.0 deg (-1.4 below avg...lowest temp for month was 45 deg)
Dec-06 74.4 deg (+4.5 above avg...lowest temp for month was 56 deg)
Jan-07 72.5 deg (+4.4 above avg...lowest temp for month was 51 deg)
Feb-07 69.2 deg (+0.1 above avg...lowest temp for month was 42 deg)
Until a real cold front moved through in Feb 07, the coldest temp for the season took place in Nov 06!!! The Feb cool down was short-lived....March in Miami warmed up and temps never looked back till the next fall.

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Heat Wave!
I've been running my ac nonstop since Dec 10th.No real cold fronts in sight just weakening troughs pushing thru as the winds shift NE not cooling us down. Hey its Florida its not supposed to get cold. My air conditioner got a break for 3 weeks. I'm wishing for another break in January.On another weather forum some pro mets were talking about a - NAO in January which means real cold fronts not dying troughs.

Your statement: "Hey its Florida its not supposed to get cold."
Answer: MYTH
South Florida has a notable history of numerous severe, persistent freezes and cold events. Most seasons feature a minimum of one event with temperatures below 40 F in south Florida. In fact, Miami has seen lows in the 20s and low 30s on several occasions. A small sample of the most significant cold events and freezes includes December 1894, February 1895, February 1899, February 1917, 1927 (?), December 1934, January 1940, December 1957, December 1962, January 1977, January 1981, December 1983, January 1985, December 1989, and February 2003.

Recent GFS runs continue to indicate a very cold pattern setting up for the USA, including Florida, by early to mid January. Things could definitely get interesting for the sunshine state in about a week or two if the recent model trend verifies.

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Heat Wave!
Is it a coincidence that the vast majority of your posts focus on the operational GFS beyond 200 hours? You're a decent contributor, so I would anticipate more short/medium term analyses. I'm not discrediting your approach, but it's surprising that anyone would solely focus on long range (individual) model runs...
I've closely examined numerous atmosphere/ocean connections, and nothing favors a colder regime in southern Florida, based on my assessments.

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Heat Wave!
I post the long range runs just for fun mostly. Looking at such extremes, even if they are unlikely to actually come to fruition, gives a nice spark to the forums on some of the tamer weather days. The only thing I really look for seriously in the long range is run-to-run and model-to-model trends. In this case, the trend of late has been for a colder pattern to set up across the eastern USA in the long range. This trend, which has gone on for 2-3 days now, has credibility due to the fact that the NAO is forecasted to continue becoming more and more negative through the beginning new year and the PNA is forecasted to go positive. Since both a -NAO and a +PNA favor cold along the eastern seaboard, including Florida, I see no reason why Florida would not be headed for a colder regime over the next few weeks. The models are probably overdoing it a bit right now, but a cool down to some degree seems inevitable IMO.MiamiensisWx wrote:Is it a coincidence that the vast majority of your posts focus on the operational GFS beyond 200 hours?

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Weak front then cooler
Dewpoints are in the 40's and 50's behind the front in the panhandle and northern peninsula...compared to dewpts in the 60's central and south....but hard to call the air behind this front 'cold'. The drier air will allow for some radiational cooling esp north tonight, but nothing unseasonable.
