AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
225 PM EDT SUN JUN 21 1998

WITH SEA BREEZE PASSAGE TWO HOURS AGO...HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF
WATCHING THE TEMP DROP FROM 96F TO 89F...ONLY TO SEE IT RISE BACK UP
TO CURRENT READING OF 97F AND TIE RECORD FOR THE DATE. CAN 98F BE FAR
BEHIND? CHECK THAT...97.7F JUST BROKE THE RECORD. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
WHAT THE LACK OF SOIL MOISTURE CAN DO. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
DURING THIS HEAT WAVE THAT A RECORD HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN THIS MANNER.

MODELS KEEP THE SURFACE TO 700MB RIDGE AXIS ACROSS CENTRAL PENINSULA
THROUGH 48 HOURS...WITH AXIS BECOMING MORE WELL DEFINED WITH TIME
(EASTERLIES INCREASE OVER STRAITS AND WESTERLIES OVER GA/NORTH FL).
250MB TROF IN THE GOMEX MINORS OUT WITH TIME. IN A NUTSHELL...WEATHER
PROBABLY WON'T CHANGE ALL THAT MUCH MON OR TUE. FAVOR A 30 POP ALONG
THE COAST WITH A 40 INLAND AND HIGHER EVENING POPS INLAND WITH ONLY
ISOLD//SLGT CHANCE ALONG COAST. TEMPS L-M90S AND M-U90S INLAND AS
PERSISTENCE CONTINUES TO PUMMEL MOS.
