.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT/TONIGHT...EAST COAST SEA BREEZE MOVING INLAND FROM SOUTHERN
VOLUSIA COUNTY SOUTHWARD EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND
STORM ACTIVITY FROM SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY SOUTHWARD CONTINUES TO
MOVE NORTH ALONG THE BOUNDARY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS DRIER AIR
NOSING INTO THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA FROM THE EAST AND EXPECT THIS
TREND FOR DRIER AIR INFILTRATE NORTH AND WESTWARD TO CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT INTO OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. SHOWER AND STORMS WILL INCREASE
IN COVERAGE THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
INTERIOR AND NORTHWARD AS SURFACE HEATING INTENSIFIES...HIGHER
MOISTURE CONTENT AND BOUNDARY COLLISIONS. STEERING FLOW REMAINS WEAK
AND EXPECT SLOW DRIFT OF CELLS TO THE NORTH/NORTHWEST. SOME AREAS
WILL EXPERIENCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING AND SOME GUSTY WINDS. STORMS WILL FINALLY WIND DOWN LATER
IN THE EVENING ACROSS OUR NORTHERN-INTERIOR ZONES. LOWS WILL BE IN
THE LOWER/MIDDLE 70S.

MON-WED...ATLC SFC RIDGE AXIS MOVES NORTH OF CTRL FL BY MON NIGHT AS
MID/UPPER HIGH RETROGRADES WWD FROM THE WRN ATLC ACROSS THE SERN
CONUS TWD THE LWR MS VLY. POSN OF SFC HIGH PLACES CWA IN LGT
EASTERLY FLOW REGIME THROUGH MID WEEK. THIS SHOULD MAINTAIN HIGHEST
DIURNAL POPS FOR THE CWA OVER THE INTR COS (SAVE FOR MON WHERE POPS
WILL BE 40 AREAWIDE)...WITH LINGERING EVENING CONVECTION PROBABLY
LIMITED TO THE FAR WRN INTR. HAVE TRIMMED WED POP NUMBERS BACK A TAD
(TO LOW END SCT) GIVEN THE SLGTLY LOWER PWAT AIR DEPICTED BY THE 12Z
GFS COMPARED TO MON/TUE.

THU-SUN...AS THE MID/UPR RIDGE RETROGRADES WWD DURING THE SHORT
RANGE...A WEAK TROUGH WILL DROP SWD OVER THE WRN ATLC...WITH THE
FEATURE SHEARING OUT ALONG THE SERN SEABOARD LATE IN THE WEEK. EXPECT
THAT THIS WILL KEEP H50 HGHTS ON THE LOW SIDE...AND COUPLED WITH A
RATHER WEAK LOW LEVEL FLOW REGIME...SHOULD ALSO LEAD TO CONTINUATION
OF AN ACTIVE DIURNAL CONVECTIVE PATTERN...SOMETHING WHICH HAD BEEN
NOTICEABLY ABSENT FOR MUCH OF THE FIRST 3 WEEKS OF AUGUST.

&&

.AVIATION...MAINLY VFR OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION. SCT-NMRS SHRA/TSRA
DVLPNG THRU THIS AFTN ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WITH HIGHEST COVERAGE
MOVING INTO THE INTERIOR BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. KDAB TAF SITE HAS
RECENTLY IMPROVED FROM EARLIER RESTRICTIONS DUE TO FU FROM AREA
WILDFIRES. SEA BREEZE LATER THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD CLEAR OUT FU
TEMPORARILY...BUT DEPENDING ON SCALE OF WILDFIRES...COULD SEE A
RETURN TO IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WHEN WINDS
BECOME LIGHT AND SWITCH BACK TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST.

&&

.MARINE...CURRENT/TONIGHT...SOUTHEAST WINDS REMAINING AOB 10 KTS
TONIGHT. SEAS 3 FT OR LESS. SURFACE RIDGE AXIS TO SLOWLY LIFT
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN A SMALL OCEAN
SWELL OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. PRECIPITATION CHANCES ON THE DECLINE
TONIGHT AS DRIER AIR DRIFTS WESTWARD INTO THE REGION. FROM MONDAY
ONWARD...NO HIGHLIGHTS AS PROXIMITY OF SFC RIDGE AXIS KEEPS MARINE
CONDS RATHER BENIGN. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 15KT...WITH
SEAS AOB 3FT. CONDS COULD APPROACH 15KT/4FT WELL OFFSHORE BTWN FPR

500 AM EDT SUN AUG 26 2007

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL EXTEND ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA
AGAIN TODAY. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR LIGHTNING
STORMS ACROSS INTERIOR AREAS...PARTICULARLY NEAR THE INTERSTATE 4
CORRIDOR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. A FEW STRONG STORMS WITH
FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL OCCUR AGAIN. SOME DRIER AIR ALOFT WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE AREA WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FEW STORMS PRODUCING
STRONG WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH...ESPECIALLY FROM SOUTH OF
ORLANDO TO OKEECHOBEE.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
WEAK STEERING CURRENTS WILL ALLOW FOR THE STRONGER STORMS TO
PRODUCE 2 TO 3 INCH DOWNPOURS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. PONDING
OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND POORLY DRAINED AREAS WILL OCCUR ACROSS A
FEW INTERIOR LOCATIONS.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A SMALL OCEAN SWELL WILL LEAD TO A MODERATE RIP CURRENT
RISK...PARTICULARLY FROM LATE MORNING UNTIL AROUND THE EARLY
AFTERNOON LOW TIDE. CHECK WITH THE BEACH PATROL ABOUT OCEAN
HAZARDS AND ONLY SWIM NEAR A LIFEGUARD.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
THE ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL MIGRATE SLOWLY NORTH AND
PRODUCE LIGHT...MAINLY ONSHORE WINDS. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE
MAIN CHANCE FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON LIGHTNING STORMS TO BE ACROSS
THE INTERIOR AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE PENINSULA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
RAINFALL SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO RELAY ANY AMOUNTS EXCEEDING
TWO INCHES TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MELBOURNE.

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING SOUTHEASTERN ORANGE COUNTY...
NORTH OSCEOLA COUNTY...

AT 441 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED
SEVERAL STRONG STORMS ACROSS EASTERN ORANGE COUNTY AND NORTHERN
OSECOLA COUNTIES. THE STORMS WERE MOVING NORTH AT 15 MPH.

STRONG WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 45 MPH WILL OCCUR BRIEFLY AHEAD OF THESE
STORMS AND WITH THE STORMS AS THEY CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AND MOVE
ACROSS ORANGE AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES.

THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES AND
GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 45 MPH...WHICH MAY CAUSE UNSECURED OBJECTS TO
BLOW AROUND. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL TEMPORARILY REDUCE VISIBILITY. SEEK
SHELTER INDOORS UNTIL THE STORM PASSES.
