AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
312 PM EDT MON MAY 25 2009

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY-THIS EVENING...THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE HAS BEEN A
LITTLE SLOWER MOVING INLAND THAN YESTERDAY. CLOUDS WERE SLOWLY
BUILDING ALONG IT AND EXPECT THAT COASTAL AREAS WILL HAVE THEIR
SHOT AT SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH MID-LATE AFTERNOON THEN THE EAST
COAST BOUNDARY WILL PUSH TOWARDS THE INTERIOR COUNTIES. THERE HAS
BEEN MORE CONVECTION ALONG THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE...AND A
LITTLE MORE GRADIENT SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL HELP TO PUSH THE
BOUNDARY FURTHER INLAND THAN YESTERDAY. THEREFORE THE VAUNTED
EAST/WEST BOUNDARY COLLISION THAT EPITOMIZES THE FLORIDA RAIN
MACHINE SHOULD OCCUR A LITTLE FURTHER EAST THAN THE PAST FEW
DAYS...POSSIBLY OVER METRO ORLANDO.

TUE...LITTLE CHANGE TO THE LIGHT SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES LOOK SIMILAR STARTING OUT THE DAY...1.6
TO 1.7 INCHES. THE GFS SHOWS A WEAKENING 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH
APPROACHING. THEREFORE...EXPECT SCATTERED-NUMEROUS AFTERNOON
STORMS WITH THE HIGHEST COVERAGE ON THE EAST HALF OF THE PENINSULA
DUE TO MOST NUMEROUS BOUNDARY COLLISIONS OCCURRING THERE. MOS
POPS HAVE INCREASED TO AROUND 70 PERCENT BUT WILL RETAIN CURRENT
NUMBERS THAT ARE AT 60 PERCENT.

WED-THU...MID/UPL LVL TROF OVR THE MS VALLEY WILL MERGE WITH A
SHORT WAVE TROF OVER THE NRN TIER STATES LATE TUE NIGHT AND PUSH
EAST THRU MID WEEK AS A BROAD SFC LOW OVER THE OZARK MTNS LIFTS NE
TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. THE COMBINED SYSTEM WILL PUSH THE DLM ATLC
RIDGE AXIS INTO THE FL STRAITS...ALLOWING A DLM W/SWRLY FLOW TO
DOMINATE ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA THRU THE H100-H70 LYR.

THIS FLOW REGIME FAVORS THE E FL COAST FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION AS
IT KEEPS THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE PINNED NEAR THE COAST WHILE
PUSHING THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE WELL INLAND. DLM RH VALUES
ACROSS THE GOMEX AND THE NW CARIB (H100-H70 AOA 60%...H85-H50
AOA 50%)...SCT/NMRS PRECIP COVERAGE IS A GOOD BET. STRONG/SVR
CONVECTION PSBL WITH H50 TEMPS PROGGED BETWEEN -8C TO -9C DEG.
HIGHEST STORM POTENTIAL WILL BE TIED TO MESOSCALE BOUNDARY
COLLISIONS AND MID LVL SHORT WAVE VORT MAXIMUMS...WHICH ARE
DIFFICULT TO PREDICT WITH ANY DEGREE OF ACCURACY BEYOND 24HRS.

EXTENDED...(PREV DISC)
FOLLOWING THE POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUATION OF AMPLIFIED PATN OVER
THE  EASTERN CONUS AS WAVE ENERGY DROPS SOUTH FROM MID-LATITUDE
FLOW ACROSS OH/MS VALLEY AROUND FRI. LTST GFS AND TO SOME DEGREE
ECMWF SHOW LATE SEASON FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING ACROSS SE BUT NORTH
OF OUR AREA FRI/EARLY SAT. CONTINUATION OF SCT PRECIP ALTHOUGH
LOWER COVERAGE WITH DRYING INDICATED BEHIND PASSING SHORTWAVE OVER
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...STORMS THAT FORM ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL
BE CLOSER TO THE COAST TODAY AND MAY EVEN SHOW A LITTLE MORE PUSH
BACK. SO HAVE CARRIED SOME TEMPO GROUPS UNTIL 20Z KVRB-KMLB.
CLOUDS ALONG THE BOUNDARY HAVE BEEN LESS DEVELOPED IN THE NORTH SO
HAVE A LATER TEMPO TIME AT KDAB AS THEY MAY ACTUALLY GET SOME OF
THE PUSH BACK TO THE COAST FROM EAST/WEST COAST BOUNDARY COLLISION.
THE INTERIOR SITES WILL BE SQUEEZED BETWEEN THE EAST/WEST COAST
BOUNDARIES WITH THE COLLISION LIKELY BEING NEAR THE I-4 CORRIDOR...
PRODUCING THE GREATEST COVERAGE OF STORMS WITH IFR CONDITIONS AND
GUSTY WINDS/FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

ACTIVITY WILL DIE DOWN SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. TOMORROW LOOKS SIMILAR
WITH SCATTERED-NUMEROUS AFTERNOON STORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT-TUE...THERE WILL BE A LIGHT GRADIENT FLOW OUT OF THE
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST. A FEW STORMS MAY PUSH ACROSS THE COAST THIS
EVENING...ESPECIALLY FROM THE CAPE NORTHWARD.

WED-SAT...A LOW PRESSURE TROF WILL PUSH OUT OF THE MS RIVER VALLEY
TOWARD THE ERN SEABOARD THRU THE UPCOMING WEEK. AS IT DOES...IT
WILL PUSH THE DLM ATLC RIDGE AXIS TOWARD THE S PENINSULA AND THE
FL STRAITS...WHICH WILL RESULT IN A W/SWRLY STEERING FLOW FOR MUCH
OF THE WEEK. WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT NEAR THE COAST BY AFTERNOON
AS THE EAST COAST SEABREEZE FORMS. SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY WILL
INCREASE BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON EACH DAY WITH OFFSHORE MOVING
TSRAS POSING THE GREATEST MARINE THREAT. OUTSIDE OF TSRA
ACTIVITY...LIGHT TO MODERATE SWRLY SFC/BNDRY LYR WINDS WILL
PREVAIL WITH SEAS AOB 4FT.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
DEEP MOISTURE IN COMBINATION WITH SURFACE HEATING AND COOL
TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL LEAD TO A CHANCE FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY
SEVERE STORMS MAINLY OVER OVER INLAND AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. LIGHT
STEERING FLOW OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST WILL BRING THE COLLISION OF THE
EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES SLIGHTLY EAST OF
YESTERDAYS COLLISION...OVER WESTERN VOLUSIA...CENTRAL AND EASTERN
PORTIONS OF SEMINOLE...ORANGE...AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES. DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS...HAIL AND FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES WILL
BE POSSIBLE IN A FEW STORMS. PERSONS PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
THIS MEMORIAL DAY SHOULD BE PREPARED TO MOVE INDOORS AT THE FIRST
SIGN OF THREATENING WEATHER. REMEMBER LIGHTNING CAN STRIKE WELL
BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF RAINFALL WHEN A STORM APPROACHES.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
SLOWLY MOVING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND LIGHTNING STORMS WILL GENERATE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN OVER SATURATED GROUND AND IN SOME CASES ALREADY
FLOODED AREAS. SLOW STORM MOVEMENT WILL PROMOTE LOCALLY 2 TO 3
INCHES OF RAIN IN SOME AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. THE HIGHEST TOTALS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE
COLLISION...FROM WESTERN VOLUSIA COUNTY SOUTHWARDS WITH ACTIVITY
DRIFTING EAST INTO THE EVENING.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
OCEAN CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A MODERATE RISK OF RIP
CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES TODAY. THE THREAT WILL BE HIGHEST
THROUGH 230 PM DURING THE OUTGOING TIDE. BEACHGOERS ARE URGED
CHECK WITH BEACH PATROL FOR LOCAL CONDITIONS AND TO SWIM WITHIN
SIGHT OF A LIFEGUARD WHILE NEVER SWIMMING ALONE.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OFF THE COAST LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...MAINLY FROM CAPE CANAVERAL NORTH. THESE STORMS MAY
PRODUCE LOCAL WIND GUSTS ABOVE 35 KNOTS.

...WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
MORNING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE A WATERSPOUT OVER
THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE THE SEA
BREEZE PUSHES INLAND.

...RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
CURRENT AND PROJECTED RIVER STAGES AT LAKE HARNEY... SANFORD...AND
DELAND ARE NOT A CONCERN AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...THE RIVER LEVEL AT
ASTOR IS VERY CLOSE TO FLOOD STAGE AND IS FORECAST TO REMAIN JUST
BELOW THAT LEVEL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
WELL ABOVE AVERAGE RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK AS ABUNDANT MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION. THE
POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS OVER ALREADY FLOODED AREAS
WILL CONTINUE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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

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.
