AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
308 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2008

.DISCUSSION...

...TROPICAL STORM FAY MADE LANDFALL VICINITY FLAGLER AND ORMOND BEACHES...
...HEAVY RAINFALL AND A CONTINUED FLOOD THREAT MAINLY OVER NORTHERN
AREAS AS RAIN BANDS WRAP AROUND THE CIRCULATION CENTER...

TONIGHT/TOMORROW...LATEST DOPPLER RADAR IMAGES INDICATING TROPICAL
STORM FAY IS BEGINNING TO HAVE A SLIGHTLY FASTER MOVEMENT TOWARDS
THE WEST TO NORTHWEST AND LOOKS TO HAVE MADE LANDFALL BETWEEN
ORMAND BY THE SEA AND FLAGLER BEACH WHICH FOLLOWS THE LATEST NHC
FORECAST TRACK. NHC TRACK THEN TAKES FAY TOWARDS THE WEST ACROSS
THE NORTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA AND BRIEFLY DRAGS IT THROUGH THE
GULF OF MEXICO LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. CONTINUING TROPICAL STORM
FORCE WINDS AND AREAL FLOODING DUE TO PERSISTENT HEAVY RAIN BANDS
AROUND FAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW.
HOWEVER WINDS DO LOOK TO BEGIN TO DECLINE THIS EVENING AS FAY
WEAKENS OVER LAND. WILL HAVE TO RE-EVALUATE CURRENT TROPICAL
STORM WIND/TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNINGS WITH NEXT TPC/NHC
ADVISORY BUT AS FOR NOW THEY REMAIN IN PLACE.

FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE OF CONCERN THROUGH TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTH WHERE A PERSISTENT RAIN BAND
CONTINUES TO ROTATE OVER THE CENTER OF FAY. FLOODING HAS BEEN
REPORTED ON SEVERAL ROADS IN SEMINOLE COUNTY WITH HEAVY RAIN
CONTINUING OVER THE AREA AT THIS TIME. A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN
PLACE ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

FRI NIGHT-SUN...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD
AND ADJACENT ATLANTIC WATERS INTERACTING WITH TS FAY TRACKING
ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA AND THE PANHANDLE WILL RESULT IN AN
ONSHORE FLOW THROUGH SUNDAY. DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE
OF TS FAY WILL DRAW DEEP MOISTURE UP THE PENINSULA AND WHEN COMBINED
WITH VORTICITY MAXIMAS ROTATING SOUTH TO NORTH AREAS OF RAIN AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CHANCES
OF RAIN AND STORMS DECREASE TO SCATTERED AREAWIDE SUNDAY AS FAY
WILL HAVE TRACKED FAR ENOUGH TO THE WEST TO LOSE MUCH OF ITS
INFLUENCE ON EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA/S WEATHER.

PREVIOUS EXTENDED...
RIDGE AXIS OVER THE ERN U.S. WILL PUSH OFF THE ERN SEABOARD SUN AND
MERGE WITH THE BERMUDA RIDGE OVER THE ATLC AS THE T.S. FAY (OR HER
REMNANTS) MOVES INTO THE LWR MS VALLEY.  DEEP E/SE FLOW WILL PREVAIL
OVER THE FL PENINSULA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...TAPPING HIGH MOISTURE
AND PUSHING IT ACROSS THE CWA.  DEEP E/SE FLOW IN A HIGH MOISTURE
ENVIRONMENT TYPICALLY RESULTS IN DECENT PRECIP COVERAGE FOR E FL.
FURTHERMORE...WITH UNCERTAINTY WRT THE FUTURE TRACK OF THE REMNANTS
OF FAY AFT MON...PRECIP CHANCES WILL REMAIN AT 50% THRU THE PD WITH
TEMPS NEAR CLIMO.
&&

.AVIATION...WIDESPREAD IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVER
NORTHERN TAF SITES CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF FAY AND WHERE HEAVY
RAIN BANDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. FURTHER SOUTH VFR CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE WITH DEGRADING CONDITIONS WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION IN
REDEVELOPING BANDS AROUND FAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AT
THIS TIME. WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS FAY ALSO WEAKENS OVER
LAND TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS MAY BE REPLACED
LATER TONIGHT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES.

FRI NIGHT-TUE...REMNANTS OF TS FAY FORECAST TO TRACK WEST TO
THE PANHANDLE AND LOSE MOST OF ITS INFLUENCE ON EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA BY SATURDAY WHILE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE WATERS
RESULTS IN AN ONSHORE WIND THROUGH MONDAY. WINDS SHIFT TO THE
SOUTHEAST MONDAY AS THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS STARTS TO SLIDE ACROSS
SOUTHERN FLORIDA.
