AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
225 PM EDT WED JUL 18 2007

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY-TONIGHT...A LITTLE MORE TRADITIONAL LOOKING CONVECTIVE
PATTERN FOR A LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA.  A FEW
STORMS HAVE FIRED IN THE NORMAL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AREAS...BUT
TODAY THEY ARE ALONG THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES
RATHER THAN ALONG THE I-4 CORRIDOR.  THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE
EAST/WEST COLLISION TO OCCUR MORE DOWN THE SPINE OF THE PENINSULA...
PROBABLY ORIENTED FROM OUR NORTHERN INTERIOR TO WEST OF THE
KISSIMMEE RIVER.

SOME CELLS HAVE BEEN POPPING UP NEAR INLAND LAKES SO THIS MAY HELP TO
RELEASE SOME INSTABILITY BEFORE THE COLLISION OCCURS.  STILL EXPECT
SOME STORMS WILL BE STRONG AND HAVE A LOW END CHANCE FOR SEVERE
WINDS/HAIL.

HAVE GONE WITH SMALL EVENING POPS EXCEPT ALONG THE SOUTHEAST PORTION
OF THE COAST.

THU...STRONG ANTICYCLONE ATOP THE CENTRAL PENINSULA WILL BEGIN TO
WEAKEN THU AFTERNOON AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH/VORT LOBE MOVES INTO GA.
MEANWHILE...EXTREMELY WEAK FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE
WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WELL-DEFINED SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY.
THIS BOUNDARY WILL SERVE AS THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR ISOLATED-SCATTERED
AFTERNOON SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AS IT PROPAGATES WESTWARD
ACROSS THE AREA. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT
EXPECTED...ISOLATED CELLS WILL CERTAINLY BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
FREQUENT LIGHTNING...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL...STRONG WIND GUSTS AND
SMALL HAIL.

FRI...ANTICYCLONE WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE WESTWARD INTO THE GULF OF
MEXICO AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST AMPLIFIES
THE PERSISTENT EASTERN LONGWAVE TROUGH. FALLING HEIGHTS WILL HELP TO
STEEPEN LAPSE RATES AND WITH PWATS GENERALLY AROUND 1.9
INCHES...SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP.

SAT-WED...A RETURN TO A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING FROM A
WEAKENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL SETTLE
ACROSS GA OR NORTHERN FL AS A SURFACE HIGH BUILDS ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY. SEVERAL VORTS ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH COUPLED WITH
THE DEEPER MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STALLED FRONT WILL PRODUCE
ABOVE AVERAGE RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN COUNTIES. FURTHER DOWN THE LINE...MODELS EXHIBITING A LARGE
AMOUNT OF VARIABILITY MON-WED WITH REGARDS TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE
EASTERN TROUGH AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE LOCATION OF THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC RIDGE.

&&

.AVIATION...GENERALLY EXPECT ISOLATED STORMS WITH MFVR CONDITIONS
ALONG THE COAST.  THE WEATHER AT INTERIOR SITES SHOULD DEPEND ON
WHERE THE SEA BREEZE COLLISION OCCURS.  WITH THE RIDGE ACROSS
CENTRAL FLORIDA...THIS USUALLY OCCURS CLOSE TO THE I-4 CORRIDOR SO
KSFB-KMCO MIGHT HAVE THE HIGHEST CHANCE FOR STRONG STORMS WITH IFR
CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...RIDGE ACROSS THE WATERS WILL KEEP WINDS AT OR BELOW 10
KNOTS.  SOME EAST SWELL WAS KEEPING SEA HEIGHTS AT 2 TO 3 FEET.  DO
NOT SEE MUCH PUSH OF SHOWERS/STORMS TO THE NORTHEAST NORTH OF
CANAVERAL...SO MAINLY JUST EXPECTING ISOLATED SHOWER/STORMS
OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE GULF STREAM.

LOW-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS...RESULTING IN LIGHT WINDS AND FAVORABLE BOATING CONDITIONS
THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
ISOLATED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THESE STORMS
SHOULD HELP TO PUSH THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE INLAND...WHICH WILL
IGNITE ADDITIONAL STORMS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS
WILL BECOME STRONG WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS TO 40
MPH. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY
WHERE THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES COLLIDE DOWN
THE CENTER OF THE PENINSULA. FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING...DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL COULD OCCUR IN THESE AREAS DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
SLOW STORM MOVEMENT WILL ALLOW HEAVY RAIN FROM STRONGER STORMS TO
PRODUCE SHORT TERM PONDING OF WATER IN POORLY DRAINED AREAS...MAINLY
ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 4 LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
SCATTERED LIGHTNING STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
IF NEEDED.

355 PM EDT WED JUL 18 2007

...STRONG THUNDERSTORM AFFECTING EASTERN SEMINOLE COUNTY...

AT 348 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
STRONG STORM OVER GENEVA.  THE STORM WAS NEARLY STATIONARY.

THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES AND
GUSTY WINDS OF 45 TO 55 MPH...WHICH CAN CAUSE UNSECURED OBJECTS TO
BLOW AROUND...SNAP TREE LIMBS OR CAUSE POWER OUTAGES. HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL TEMPORARILY REDUCE VISIBILITY. SEEK SHELTER INDOORS UNTIL THE
STORM PASSES.

A BRIEF PERIOD OF SMALL HAIL...PEA TO DIME SIZE...WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE IN LOCALIZED AREAS.

TORRENTIAL RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED...CAUSING TEMPORARY PONDING ON
SOME ROADS AND MINOR FLOODING OF POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. MOTORISTS
SHOULD SLOW DOWN IN HEAVY RAINFALL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HYDROPLANING
AND LEAVE SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN OTHER VEHICLES. STATE LAW REQUIRES
HEADLIGHTS TO BE TURNED ON WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE IN USE.
