NWS Miami not biting on the massive ECMWF trough at 168-200 hours out...just yet.
As it stands now this trough would not create a widespread freeze across Florida but would bring lows into the 40s for parts of Southern Florida.
However, looking at the latest 12Z ECMWF guidance, the trough is not quite as amplified as in previous runs which makes me wonder if the ECMWF is going to back off on the Eastern CONUS chill in subsequent runs.

And i think they are only going about 144 hours out in their extended forecast...be interesting to see if Miami is finally going to drop below 50 deg (offically at airport, lowest for season is 51 deg)...but not forecast in the next 6 days at least.

Looks like things could be getting pretty chilly for the sunshine state next week if the 00z GFS plays out...

Re: Florida Weather Thread: SLGT risk in the panhandle, wtch pos
Temp in Miami tomorrow more like May than January...record highs possible across south florida....followed by a nice, refreshing airmass that warms to 'perfectly seasonable' into the weekend and first half of next week...NWS discussion goes no further than 1 week out at this point...wise move since anything beyond is speculation at best.

Hopefully we'll get some much needed rain tomorrow. A new tornado watch has just gone out for the panhandle, se Alabama & into western Georgia. Hopefully this squall line can build into the gulf and sweep the peninsula tomorrow with at least a quick downpour. The drought map posted a few days ago by fact789 shows that the region now in moderate drought matches almost perfectly with the region that was in the tropical storm Fay screw zone. I got no rain from Fay in my neighborhood and august and sept were exceptionally dry. in fact i can't recall an august with less thunder than 2008. We need rain in west central florida and we need it bad.

It came in much quicker than the local models had hinted, by 3-4 hours in some cases. Klystron9 has impressed me in the one break I have seen it in action. 3D radar has made a move into the Bay Area permanently. It has also shown that there was a 44mph gust near the Courtney Campbell. SVR Warning for East Pasco, NW Polk, S Sumter.

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Thin line of storms today, then cool
Hard to tell from 12 hour time steps which could mean precip ends before temps and thicknesses would become favorable for ice or snow, but Panhandle winter weather threat from 0Z Canadian?

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Thin line of storms today, then cool
It will be an interesting test of the models....GFS is depicting much cooler scenario than ECMWF....key is to whether the models start to show a consensus...in one direction or the other. Great Discussions to read...examples of the challenge forecasters have to deal with when models differ pretty significantly in the long-term.
From NWS Jacksonville:
LONG TERM (SAT THRU TUE)...
SERIES OF VORTICITY MAXIMA/SPEED MAXIMA WILL DROP SOUTHEAST
OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN UNITED STATES EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE SCALE TROUGH. DGEX AND MEDIUM RANGE GFS
MODELS DISAGREE WITH PLACEMENT OF THIS LARGE SCALE TROUGH...DGEX
SOLN IS FARTHER WEST OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WHILE THE GFS
DEPICTS THIS FEATURE ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. WILL FOLLOW
GFS SOLN...WHICH IS DRIER OF THE TWO SOLNS. NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM
AND ATTENDANT DYNAMICS/SHOWERS ARE FORECAST TO ARRIVE LATE TUESDAY.
From NWS Tallahassee:
LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY).
AFTER CAREFULLY READING LAST NIGHT`S LONG TERM DISCUSSION...IT
APPEARS THAT THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE NOW COMPLETELY
FLIP-FLOPPED...WITH THE 00 UTC GFS NOW PUSHING THE 1ST COLD FRONT
FAIRLY QUICKLY THROUGH THE REGION SAT AFTN AND EVENING...WHILE THE
12 UTC ECMWF RUN FROM TUE LINGERS THE FRONT AND DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
IN THE REGION INTO TUESDAY. WITH THIS MUCH UNCERTAINTY...WILL WAIT
FOR THE 00 UTC ECMWF RUN BEFORE COMPOSING THE EXTENDED GRIDS...WITH
THE HOPE THAT THE MODELS CONVERGE TOWARDS A CONSENSUS. IN ANY
EVENT...INDICATIONS ARE POINTING TOWARDS THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ARCTIC
AIRMASS PLUNGING SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE REGION NEAR THE END OF THE
PERIOD...AS A STEEP TROF BEGINS TO CARVE OUT OVER THE EASTERN U.S.
THIS SCENARIO WILL CERTAINLY BEAR WATCHING...AS THE COLDEST AIR OF
THE NEW YEAR MAY ARRIVE IN FULL FORCE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK
From NWS Tampa Bay:
HAVE KEPT WITH THE FORECAST TREND OF THE ECMWF AS IT
HAS BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT MODEL OF LATE. THIS MODEL KEEPS A FRONT
STALLED OVER NORTHERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE FINALLY PUSHING IT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY. THE GFS ON THE OTHER HAND PUSHES THE FRONT THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY...THUS THIS MODEL IS INDICATING A MUCH COOLER
SCENARIO FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST GUIDANCE NEAR
CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD.
From NWS Melbourne:
SAT-TUE...HAVE GIVEN A BIT MORE WEIGHT TO THE ECMWF IN THE EXTENDED
RANGE WITH SLOWER FRONTAL PROGRESSION WITH NEXT COLD FRONT PROGD TO
NEAR E CENTRAL FL THIS WEEKEND. PTLY CLDY SKIES WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID 70S EXPECTED SAT THEN INCREASING CLOUDINESS WITH FRONT PROGD TO
NEAR THE AREA SUNDAY. WILL INCLUDE SLIGHT SHOWER CHANCES SUNDAY/
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE NEXT FRONT. 00Z GFS MUCH COOLER BY TUE WITH
REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL AIR AS MID-UPR LVL TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS
THE ERN CONUS. ECM ALSO INDICATES PUSH OF DRIER AND COOLER AIR IN
THE WAKE OF THE WKND FRONT BY TUE...SO WILL TREND FORECAST COOLER...
BUT NOT QUITE AS COOL AS THE 00Z GFS WHICH HAS DROPPED TUE TEMPS
5-10 DEG S AND 10-15 DEGS NORTH FROM YDAYS 00Z RUN.
From NWS Jacksonville:
LONG TERM (SAT THRU TUE)...

and the NWS Miami has mentioned this well-advertised ECMWF/GFS trough for the first time in their latest disco. Snippet:
For all of those in Florida waiting for the return of more "winter-like" conditions there is hope for you

AN EVEN STRONGER FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA MON NIGHT. THE
HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THIS STRONG FRONT COMES FROM THE DAKOTAS BUT
THE QUESTION IS HOW FAR SOUTH THE HIGH GOES AND HOW DEEP THE MID
LEVEL TROUGH GETS. ANYHOW, THE COLDEST MORNING NOW APPEARS TO BE
WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH MOST AREAS SEEING 40S TO NEAR 50 MIAMI.
AFTER TODAY AND THIS EVENINGS 40/50 PERCENT POPS, POPS WILL BE
ALMOST NIL THROUGH SAT NIGHT AND THEN SLGT CHC FROM TIME TO TIME
UNTIL THE STRONG FRONT COMES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Thin line of storms today, then cool
What is interesting is that 51 is the lowest temp Miami has seen so far this fall/winter....very unusual to go through even Nov-Dec-Jan without a temp below 50 deg, so maybe we are going to see the 50 deg mark finally reached (or lower..but doesn't sound right now but very much if that were to happen...the NWS office location at MIA often is warmer than the surrounding areas...esp rural ones to the west that can see more in the way of radiational cooling).
To compare, by 1/7/08 Miami had already seen a temp in the 30's for the 07/08 fall/winter season.....39 deg on 1/3/08.

Re: Florida Weather Thread: Thin line of storms today, then cool
Noticed that GFS kicks out over an inch of rain for Weds 21st... Then drops the temps back again... Over 300hrs out, so just God only knows what will happen. Would love to see the EURO 850 temps out to 240hr.
I'll be down in Florida, so i need to watch this stuff carefully

In 1200 hours it will just about be March....pretty sure the model runs will be trending warmer by then.

The 6z GFS is showing a low temperature of 28.75F at the Orlando International Airport next Wednesday morning. If this actually plays out, then it will be the coldest reading MCO has experienced since January 24th, 2003 when it hit 27F.
In South Florida, this same run also drops Miami down to 45.85F next Wednesday morning.
