AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
202 PM EDT FRI JUN 5 2009

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENT/TONIGHT...SHOWERS AND STORMS ONGOING ACROSS AREA AT MID
AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE
EVENING. EXTENSIVE AREA OF STORMS STRETCHING WWD OVER THE GULF
WILL LEAD TO HIGHER THAN NORMAL RAIN CHANCES INTO THE
EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH PORTIONS OF THE
AREA.

FASTER STORM MOVEMENT THAN THURSDAY HAS DIMINISHED FLOODING THREAT...
HOWEVER MID LEVEL DRYING AND COOLER TEMPS ALOFT WILL ALLOW FOR
STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. A
DIFFUSE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY PRESENT FROM THE SPACE
COAST SOUTHWARD HAS POTENTIAL TO ENHANCE STRENGTH OF STORMS OVER
THE NEXT FEW OF HOURS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH.

SAT-A WEAK QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY WILL BE LOCATED OVER THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. AND GULF COAST STATES. AN UPPER TROUGH ALIGNED
ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THROUGH THE EASTERN GOMEX IS PROGGED
BY THE GFS TO CUT-OFF DURING THE DAY. THIS WILL KEEP SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT ( -10C AT 500 MB) AND ENHANCE
DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE AND DEEP
SOUTHWEST FLOW IN PLACE WE WILL SEE ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION
CHANCES IN LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON STORMS.

SAT NIGHT-SUN NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO RE-
ESTABLISH ITSELF OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA SUNDAY AS MID LEVEL RIDGING
MOVES OVERTOP THE PENINSULA...WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND FROM
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AS THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA
STARTS LIFTING UP THE PENINSULA. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE LEVELS REMAIN
HIGH AND WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT AT 500MB (-9 TO -10C)
HELPING TO FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE STRONG STORMS WITH
SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS OVER 40 MPH ARE STILL POSSIBLE. STORMS
SHOULD TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST AS THE STEERING FLOW REMAINS
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST NOT ALLOWING MUCH OF AN INLAND PENETRATION
OF THE SEA BREEZES ESPECIALLY FROM CAPE CANAVERAL NORTH. OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S EXCEPT IN THE MID AND
UPPER 80S BEACHSIDE COCOA BEACH SOUTH. AFTERNOON HIGHS UPPER 80S
TO AROUND 90 INTERIOR TO THE MID 80S ALONG THE COAST WHERE THE
DEVELOPING SOUTHEAST TO EAST FLOW OVER ATLANTIC WATER TEMPERATURES
IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S ARE STILL COOL ENOUGH TO SLOW DOWN
DAYTIME HEATING DURING THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE COAST.

PREVIOUS EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
MON-THU...WEAK LOW-LEVEL RIDGING WILL GRADUALLY LIFT NORTH ON MON
INTO THE CENTRAL PENINSULA AND FINALLY MOVE INTO THE NORTH PENINSULA
BY LATE IN THE PERIOD. THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN WEAK DURING
THIS PERIOD AND WILL SEE A DAILY SEA BREEZE FORM ALONG THE EAST
COAST EACH MORNING MOVING INLAND EACH AFTERNOON. EXPECT LATE
DAY/EVENING COLLISIONS WITH THE WEST COAST BOUNDARY COUNTERPART WITH
THE RESULT BEING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE STEERING
FLOW WILL BE WEAK AND CHAOTIC AT BEST SO A FEW STORMS WILL LIKELY BE
PROFICIENT PRECIPITATION PRODUCERS. SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES
ALOFT WILL KEEP COVERAGE IN CHECK AND WILL KEEP 30%-40% POPS IN THE
FORECAST EACH DAY. HIGHS & LOWS WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE VICINITY
OF SEASONAL NORMS.
&&

.AVIATION...
SCT MVFR WITH ISOLD IFR IN SHRA/TSRA THROUGH 02Z WITH IMPROVING
CIGS AND REDUCING RAINFALL COVERAGE AFT 03Z. MAINLY VFR OVERNIGHT
WITH EXCEPTION OF LOCALIZED MIFG/BR OVER INLAND SITES FROM 08Z-
11Z.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW-LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA SLOWLY LIFTS
NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PENINSULA BY MONDAY. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW BECOMES LIGHT SUNDAY AS SURFACE RIDGE AXIS MOVES OVERTOP
CENTRAL FLORIDA COASTAL WATERS WITH A SEA BREEZE COMPONENT OVER
THE NEARSHORE WATERS SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SEAS GENERALLY 3
FEET OR LESS EXCEPT IN THE VICINITY OF AFTERNOON LIGHTNING STORMS
MOVING OFF THE MAINLAND SAT AND SUN AFTERNOON.

BOATERS ON BOTH THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND LAKES-RIVERS ON THE MAINLAND
SHOULD KEEP AN EYE TO THE WESTERN SKY FOR APPROACHING WEATHER THIS
EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY.

957 AM EDT FRI JUN 5 2009

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO COMBINING
WITH GOOD MOISTURE AND SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL LEAD TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND LIGHTNING STORMS FROM LATE THIS MORNING INTO THIS
EVENING. STRONGER STORMS WILL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 50 MPH...HAIL TO COIN SIZE...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...WHICH WOULD CAUSE PONDING OF
WATER IN LOW AREAS...AS WELL AS LOCALIZED POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.

STORMS TODAY WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AT AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH. PERSONS
IN EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR DEVELOPING
HAZARDOUS WEATHER...AND HEAD INDOORS IF SKIES LOOK THREATENING.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ONE TO TWO INCHES OF
RAIN WITHIN AN HOUR. MOTORISTS SHOULD USE CAUTION AND SLOW DOWN
DUE TO AREAS OF PONDING WATER AND HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS.
DURING STRONG STORMS.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
LIGHTNING STORMS WILL QUICKLY MOVE OFFSHORE OVER THE INTRACOASTAL
AND NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS WITH THE A HIGH POTENTIAL OF
PRODUCING STRONG GUSTY WINDS...LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS...HAIL AND
FREQUENT CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING. ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE. BOATERS OVER THE INLAND LAKES SHOULD ALSO BE ON THE
LOOKOUT FOR LIGHTNING STORMS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST...AND HEAD TO SAFE ASHORE IN ADVANCE OF DEVELOPING
STORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE AREA WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED HIGH COVERAGE
OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING LIGHTNING STORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
WESTERLY STEERING FLOW WILL CONTINUE THE RISK OF STRONG LIGHTNING
STORMS MOVING OFFSHORE INTO THE ATLANTIC. COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL RETURN TO CLOSER TO NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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