AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
250 AM EDT TUE MAY 2 2006

.DISCUSSION...

...DRY PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE WORK WEEK...

CURRENTLY...SFC HIGH CENTER ACROSS THE CAROLINAS EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH NE/NNE FLOW ACROSS NRN SECTIONS ADVECTING A DRY LOW LVL AIRMASS
TOWARD ACROSS THE NRN PENINSULA. DWPTS RUNNING IN THE MID 40S ACROSS
FAR NRN SECTIONS FROM LEESBURG TO DAYTONA ABOUT 3-5 DEGS BELOW
GUIDANCE.

TODAY...SFC HIGH PRESSURE CENTER FORECAST ACROSS THE NE GULF THIS
AFTN WILL KEEP NNE/NE FLOW ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FL. VERY DRY AIRMASS
PROGD ACROSS THE NRN PENINSULA WITH MID LVL NVA AND SUBSIDENT LR
QUAD OF THE UPPER JET OVERHEAD. WATER VAPOR ALSO SHOWS STREAK OF
VERY DRY AIR IN THE MID-UPR LVLS ACROSS NRN SECTIONS. SUNNY/MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES TODAY WITH HIGHS 79-80 NEAR THE COAST AND 82-84 INLAND.
MODERATE NE SWELLS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A HIGH RIP CURRENT THREAT AT
THE BEACHES THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...SFC HIGH CENTER WILL NUDGE EASTWARD OVER THE CENTRAL
PENINSULA WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT TO CALM WINDS EXPECTED. LOWS
SHOULD DROP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 50S WHICH WILL BE JUST A FEW DEGS
HIGHER THAN LOW TEMP RECORDS FOR ORLANDO (55 IN 1998)...MELBOURNE
(55 IN 1998) AND VERO BEACH (54 IN 1992).

WED-FRI...SFC RIDGE HOLDS ACROSS CENTRAL PENINSULA THROUGH MID-WEEK
WITH BROAD RIDGING ALOFT TRANSITIONING TO ZONAL FLOW BY WEEKS END
OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER OF STATES. NOT MUCH RELIEF UPSTREAM IN THE
FORM OF A PATTERN BREAK ADVERTISED TIL LATE IN THE WEEK AS A
SHORTWAVE MIGRATES SWD FROM THE NRN PLAINS. HEIGHT FALLS WL EXTEND
SOUTH INTO THE SE REGION AND SHOULD BE ENUF TO BREAK THE GRIP OF THE
RIDGE OVER THE STATE DURING THE WEEKEND. TEMPS LIKELY TO WARM EACH
DAY...REACHING SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO WED/THU.

SAT-TUE...MODEL TRENDS REMAIN VARIABLE WITH PROSPECTIVE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY FOR THE WEEKEND. LATEST GFS/DGEX SHOWING BEST PRECIP CHCS
LATE SAT AND INTO SUN AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAGS SOUTH INTO N FL.
MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF SYS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR ISOLD
POPS WITH SCT COVERAGE N CENTRAL FL AND LESSER AMTS SOUTH. ANY
ADJUSTMENTS IN TIMING OF PRECIP MAY FAVOR SUNDAY FOR WIDER COVERAGE
ESPECIALLY IF A STALLED BOUNDARY IS INDICATED BY LATER GUID PKGS.
FOR NOW WILL KEEP 20/30 FOR SAT AND ADD 20 PCT COVERAGE AREA WIDE
SUN. LINGERING BOUNDARY COMBINED WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE MAY ALLOW
FOR LINGERING PRECIP COVERAGE EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT WILL KEEP FCST DRY
FOR NOW CONSIDERING LACK OF CONFIDENCE ON EXTENDED SFC FEATURES.

&&

.MARINE...NNE/NE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TODAY AND DECREASE TO 10-15
KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON. COMBINED SEAS WITH WIND WAVES AND NE SWELLS
WILL STILL BE HAZARDOUS FOR SMALL CRAFT AND A SCA FOR SEAS REMAINS
IN EFFECT. WINDS WILL DECREASE TONIGHT AS HIGH CENTER BUILDS CLOSER
BUT WILL CONTINUE SCA FOR SEAS (SWELLS) INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD
OFFSHORE.

DIMINISHING SEAS THROUGH MIDWEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING BECOMES
SITUATED OVER THE WATERS. SEAS WILL BE TIED TO WIND WAVE WHICH
SHOULD AVERAGE 3 FT AND LESS AFTER MIDWEEK.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DEWPOINTS EARLY THIS MORNING ARE IN THE MID-UPR 40S
ALONG AND NW OF THE I-4 CORRIDOR (3-5 DEGS BELOW GUID). RED FLAG
WARNING ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE INTERIOR THIS AFTERNOON.
SOME CONCERN THAT CSTL VOLUSIA MAY ALSO REACH CRITICAL DURATIONS BUT
ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD KEEP HIGH TEMPS IN CHECK (MAKING IT SOMEWHAT
MORE DIFFICULT TO REACH LONG DURATION OF LOW RH ALONG THE COAST).

DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HAS PROMPTED ISSUANCE
OF RED FLAG FOR WED AFTERNOON AS WELL WITH MAIN PARAMETER LOW RH
DURATION OVER THE INTERIOR SECTIONS NORTH OF OKEECHOBEE COUNTY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
MODERATE TO LARGE NORTHEAST OCEANS SWELLS AND AN OUTGOING TIDE
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A HIGH THREAT FOR RIP
CURRENTS AT EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA BEACHES. IF CAUGHT IN A RIP
CURRENT...SWIM PARALLEL TO THE COAST UNTIL OUT OF THE PULL OF THE
CURRENT AND THEN SWIM BACK TO SHORE.

...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
A LONG FETCH OF NORTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WATERS WILL
ALLOW COMBINED SEAS TO CONTINUE OVER 7 FEET TODAY. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT.

...COASTAL FLOOD IMPACT...
MINOR BEACH EROSION WILL BE POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE
AROUND NOON TODAY AS NORTHEAST OCEAN SWELLS CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE
BEACHES. THE SURF MAY BE ALSO BE ROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING.

...FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
A VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD FROM THE NORTHERN
PENINSULA ACROSS MUCH OF THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON. LOW REALTIVE HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED WHICH
WILL ELEVATE THE FIRE WEATHER THREAT. NORTHEAST WINDS TO 15 MPH
ARE ALSO EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD SPREAD ANY EXISTING
FIRES OR FIRE STARTS TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK WITH AN
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT FOR INTERIOR AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. ISOLATED LIGHTNING STORMS ARE IN THE
FORECAST THIS WEEKEND AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES AND STALLS
NEAR THE AREA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
