AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
222 PM EDT SUN SEP 2 2007

.DISCUSSION...
TONIGHT...ANOTHER ACTIVE ROUND OF AFTERNOON STORMS MOVING IN FROM
THE WEST WITH A WEAK WESTERLY STEERING WIND. MOISTURE LEVELS WERE
QUITE HIGH ON THE XMR SOUNDING EARLIER AND THIS COUPLED WITH LIGHT
WINDS WILL CREATE SOME HEAVY RAIN OCCURRENCES OVER THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EXPECT LINGERING SHOWERS AND SCATTERED
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 02Z WITH CONCENTRATION
AT THE COAST AFTER INTERACTION WITH THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY. EVENING PRECIP FORECAST KEEPS A SLIGHTLY HIGHER RAIN
CHANCE ALONG THE COAST AND MARINE AREAS. WILL KEEP A SCT PRECIP
MENTION THIS EVENING WITH THE HIGHER AMTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
NORTH SECTIONS. ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE WHILE BECOMING
SITUATED MAINLY OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS TONIGHT.

MON-WED...FORECAST HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE MODEL TREND TOWARDS
DEVELOPING A SURFACE LOW OFF NORTHEAST FLORIDA ALONG STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND THEN A VERY SLOW MOVEMENT. HAVE NOT MADE
MANY CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST WHICH WAS IN PRETTY CLOSE
AGREEMENT TO THE LATEST RUN.

THE GFS STARTS TO BRING DRYING INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS ON MON BUT
THIS LOOKS TOO QUICK AND HAVE JUST KEPT THE PREVIOUS FORECAST POPS
OF 50 PERCENT INLAND AND 60 PERCENT ALONG THE COAST AS
WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW FAVORS THE COASTAL COUNTIES FOR HIGHEST
AFTERNOON POPS.

ON TUE...HAVE STARTED TO TREND POPS DOWN SLIGHTLY ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE NORTH AS LOW PRESSURE CENTER SHOULD START TO FILTER IN SOME
DRIER AIR.  STILL HAVE 40 PERCENT FOR MOST AREAS EXCEPT 50 PERCENT
ALONG THE SOUTH HALF OF THE COAST.

WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT OF THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER OFF NORTHEAST
FLORIDA...HAVE TRENDED POPS DOWN A LITTLE MORE FOR WED TO 30/40
PERCENT NORTH/SOUTH SINCE IF THE FLOW STAYS PERSISTENT OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST TO NORTH THERE WILL BE CONTINUED DRYING.

THU-SUN...WOULD EXPECT THAT THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE LOW
WILL ATTAIN TROPICAL STATUS IF IT STAYS OUT OVER THE WARM WATERS
FOR SO LONG. THE LATEST GFS DOES NOT MOVE IT OUT TO THE NORTHEAST
BUT INSTEAD TRAPS IT BELOW A BUILDING RIDGE TO THE NORTH AND
ACTUALLY STARTS DRIFTING IT BACK TO THE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST.
I HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THIS PART OF THE FORECAST AS IT IS
HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON SOME PROBABLE INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE MID
LATITUDES AND TROPICS. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE
WESTERN STATES INTO THE MID SECTION OF THE COUNTRY IS PROGGED LATE
IN THE PERIOD WHICH WOULD TEND TO PULL THE LOW NORTHWARD...HOWEVER
THE EVOLUTION OF THIS TROUGH IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN SINCE HENRIETTE
AND FELIX MAY HAVE SOME INFLUENCE ON IT.

&&

.AVIATION...SCT MVFR WITH ISOLD IFR CONDITIONS IN PRECIP AND TSRA
THROUGH 02Z BECOMING VFR AREA WIDE BY 04Z. MAIN THREATS WL BE ISOLD
CONVECTIVE DOWNBURST WINDS NEAR AIRPORT SITES AND REDUCED VISBYS
THROUGH AROUND 02Z. LOCAL 3-4SM BR OVER INLAND SITES THROUGH
DAYBREAK DUE TO RAIN SOAKED GROUND AND LIGHT OFFSHORE WINDS.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WL BE HIGHER AT THE NEARSHORE WATERS AS ORGANIZED
STORMS MOVE OFFSHORE ESP NORTH OF FORT PIERCE INLET. THE THREAT FOR
STRONG WIND GUSTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING EXISTS AS WELL AND WINDS
AND SEAS WILL BE LOCALLY HIGHER NEAR EVENING STORMS THROUGH AROUND
10 PM.

MON...SHOULD MAINTAIN AN WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW AND OTHER THAN
STORMS MOVING OFFSHORE DURING THE AFTERNOON...THERE SHOULD BE NO
WIND/SEA PROBLEMS.

TUE-FRI...THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST COULD SEE A SIGNIFICANT
DETERIORATION IN BOATING CONDITIONS AS A SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE
CENTER IS FORECAST JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE WATERS. WITH SUCH A
SLOW MOVEMENT...AND POSSIBLE INTENSIFICATION DUE TO THE VERY WARM
WATERS...WE COULD BE IN FOR A SIGNIFICANT MARINE EVENT WITH
INCREASING SEAS AND POSSIBLE BEACH EROSION.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...DEADLY LIGHTNING AND VERY HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON...

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
LIGHTNING STORMS WILL BECOME NUMEROUS IN THE AFTERNOON ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA. THE MAIN HAZARDS WILL BE FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES...WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH AND SMALL
HAIL. NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STRIKES TO STRUCTURES OCCURRED IN FIVE
DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA ON SATURDAY. AS WE ENJOY
THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPROACH OF LIGHTNING STORMS. MOVE INDOORS
BEFORE STORMS APPROACH AS LIGHTNING STRIKES CAN OCCUR WELL AWAY
FROM THE RAINFALL AREAS.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
A VERY SLOW EASTWARD STORM MOVEMENT WILL INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR
EXCESSIVE ACCUMULATIONS OF RAINFALL. NUMEROUS AFTERNOON SHOWERS
AND LIGHTING STORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCAL RAIN AMOUNTS OF TWO TO
THREE INCHES. HEAVY RAIN WILL EASILY COLLECT IN LOW SPOTS AND ROAD
SURFACES CREATING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. MOTORISTS SHOULD
SLOW DOWN IN HEAVY RAIN AND USE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. DO NOT DRIVE
THROUGH WATER OF UNKNOWN DEPTH.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STORMS MOVING FROM THE MAINLAND
SLOWLY OVER THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS AND NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS
WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIND GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS. THE
BEST CHANCE FOR STRONG MARINE GUSTS WILL GENERALLY BE NORTH OF
FORT PIERCE INLET THIS AFTERNOON.

...WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
A LIGHT WIND PROFILE COMBINED WITH VERY HIGH MOISTURE HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WATERSPOUTS. SPOUT
FORMATION WILL BE POSSIBLE MOST NOTABLY IN THE VICINITY OF THE
INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY ALONG THE SPACE AND TREASURE COAST AS WELL
AS NEAR MERRITT ISLAND AND CAPE CANAVERAL AS STRONG SURFACE
HEATING OCCURS. SPOUTS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING RAPID CLOUD GROWTH
STAGE AND ALSO NEAR EXISTING STORMS AS THEY CROSS THE COAST LINE
FROM THE MAINLAND WHILE INTERACTING WITH AN EAST COAST SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
MOIST CONDITIONS WILL LINGER THE REMAINDER OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND
AND THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THE PRESENCE OF A FRONTAL TROUGH
JUST NORTH OF THE AREA WILL ALSO PROVIDE FOR INCREASED RAINFALL
POTENTIAL. THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
STRIKES AND HEAVY RAIN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING NORTHERN LAKE COUNTY AND VOLUSIA
COUNTY...

AT 305 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
STRONG STORM NEAR ASTOR.  THE STORM WAS NEARLY STATIONARY.
ADDITIONAL STRONG STORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
VOLUSIA COUNTY FROM DELAND AND PIERSON TO ORMOND BEACH AND DAYTONA
BEACH.

THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES AND
GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 50 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.

THESE STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING
STRIKES...DEFINED AS 12 OR MORE CLOUD TO GROUND STRIKES PER MINUTE.
SEEK SHELTER IN AN ENCLOSED BUILDING OR HARD TOPPED AUTOMOBILE. OPEN
SHELTERS FOUND IN PARKS...ON BEACHES OR GOLF COURSES OFFER NO
PROTECTION FROM THE DANGERS OF LIGHTNING.

TORRENTIAL RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED DUE TO SLOW STORM MOTION...
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.
