AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
211 PM EDT MON JUN 30 2008

.DISCUSSION...

...A FEW STRONG-SEVERE STORMS THROUGH EVENING AND AGAIN TUE...

THROUGH TONIGHT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVER THE AREA THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH A FEW STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS
POSSIBLE. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EASTWARD
TONIGHT AND AS IT DOES SO WILL HELP MOVE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN U.S. INTO NORTHERN FLORIDA. BOUNDARY WILL LOSE ITS
STRENGTH AS IT DOES SO BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE FAR NORTH (NORTHERN LAKE AND
VOLUSIA COUNTIES) LATE TONIGHT. OTHERWISE EXPECTING TO REMAIN DRY
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. TEMPS STILL AROUND NORMAL WITH LOWS IN THE
LOWER 70S.

TUE...MOISTURE IS PROGGED TO REMAIN AT OR ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE
AREA IN PRE FRONTAL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ZONE (1.7-2.0 INCHES
PRECIPITABLE WATER).  POSITIVE TILTED TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S.
WITH JET ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL PROVIDE LARGE SCALE
ASCENT...THEREFORE ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY FOR STORMS IS EXPECTED.
SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH SEA BREEZE FORMATION AND POSSIBLY SOME INFLUENCE
FROM DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AND/OR OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL ACT AS
FOCUSING MECHANISMS.

RATHER COOL 500 MB TEMPS AROUND MINUS 9 INSURES THAT SOME STORMS
WHICH FORM WILL BE STRONG-SEVERE AGAIN. MOS POPS ARE IN THE 70-80
PERCENT RANGE...SO HAVE BUMPED UP THE POPS IN OUR CURRENT
FORECAST.

WED...EASTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL LIFT/FILL WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING
STARTING TO BUILD FROM THE ATLANTIC BACK ACROSS THE BAHAMAS AND INTO
THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...BUT THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH LINGERING INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND NORTHEAST GULF.  THIS
OCCURRED WITH THE LAST EASTERN CONUS TROUGH AND RESULTED IN A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF HIGH CLOUDS AND NOT A LOT OF REDUCTION IN
POPS.  THE LATEST GFS CONTINUES WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF
1.7 TO 2.0 INCHES.  CURRENT FORECAST SHOWING POPS A LITTLE ABOVE
NORMAL (50 PERCENT) LOOKS GOOD...AND IS SUPPORTED BY LATEST MOS
NUMBERS.

THU-SUN (PREVIOUS DISCUSSION)...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO
GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN OVER THE PENINSULA DURING THIS TIME. LOW LEVEL
RIDGING WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO SHIFT NORTHWARD. SOME DRIER AIR BEGINS
TO MOVE INTO THE PENINSULA THU NIGHT-SUN ESPECIALLY NEARER THE EAST
COAST. STEERING FLOW WEAKENS AND GRADUALLY BECOMES
SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY BY THIS WEEKEND WITH DECREASING POP CHANCES AND
GREATEST THREATS FOR CONVECTION MOVING FURTHER INTO THE INTERIOR AS
THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY PENETRATES FURTHER INLAND.

&&

.AVIATION...INCREASING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
CONTINUE TO CREATE BRIEF IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. SHOULD THEN SEE A RETURN TO
PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS AS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WINDS DOWN BY
MIDNIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...MAIN CONCERN THRU THE EARLY EVENING HOURS WILL BE OFFSHORE
MOVING THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY NORTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET. WINDS WILL BE
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AROUND 5 TO 10 KNOTS AND SEAS AOB 3 FT.

TUE-SAT...SURFACE RIDGE IS PROGGED TO GRADUALLY NUDGE/REBUILD
NORTHWARD AS TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD DISSIPATES. THIS
SHOULD KEEP WINDS AT OR BELOW 10 KNOTS AND SEAS 3 FEET OR LESS. THE
MAIN CONCERNS OF LATE HAVE BEEN THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING THE WATERS.
THE STEERING FLOW THAT HAS BEEN PUSHING STORMS OFFSHORE SHOULD
WEAKEN ON WED AND CONTINUE THROUGH LATE WEEK.  THERE SHOULD BE LESS
CHANCE THAT MAINLAND AFTERNOON STORMS WILL CROSS THE COAST DURING
THAT TIME PERIOD.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
AMPLE MOISTURE COMBINED WITH AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
AND NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES FROM SEA BREEZES...LAKE BREEZES AND
THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS WILL ALLOW NUMEROUS STORMS TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EAST COAST SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT WILL BEGIN
EARLIER AND HAVE FURTHER INLAND MOVEMENT ALONG THE TREASURE COAST.
STORMS WILL INITIATE EARLIER ALONG THE THE SEA BREEZE WITH AN
INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY FURTHER NORTH DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS INTERACTIONS WITH STORMS AND OUTFLOWS FROM THE WEST

CAN BE EXPECTED SOUTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET WITH FASTER MOVEMENT NORTH
OF THIS AREA AROUND 15 MPH TO THE EAST. SCATTERED STORMS WILL
PERSIST INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.

DOWNBURST WINDS AND COIN SIZE HAIL. MOVE INDOORS TO A SAFE LOCATION
AT THE FIRST SIGN OF AN APPROACHING OR DEVELOPING STORM.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
HEAVY DOWNPOURS OCCURRING IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME MAY LEAD TO
TEMPORARY PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AND POORLY DRAINED AREAS.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
EXPECT AN ELEVATED RIP CURRENT RISK AT THE BEACHES TODAY DUE TO A
LONG PERIOD SWELL. ALWAYS SWIM WITHIN SIGHT OF A LIFEGUARD.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
BOATERS ON THE NEARSHORE WATERS...ESPECIALLY FROM SEBASTIAN INLET
NORTHWARD SHOULD KEEP AN EYE TO THE WEST FOR LIGHTNING STORMS MOVING
EAST OFF THE MAINLAND AROUND 15 MPH LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING. THE MAIN HAZARDS WILL BE WIND GUSTS OF 35 KNOTS OR
GREATER AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING STRIKES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
SCATTERED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON. AN UPPER
