AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
203 PM EDT TUE JUN 16 2009

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENT...INTENSE HEATING ACROSS THE PENINSULA ONCE AGAIN WITH
LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING CU DEVELOPMENT FAVORING THE
WESTERN PENINSULA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. HEAT INDICES ARE ALREADY IN
THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES ACROSS MUCH OF EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA. AGAIN...THE HEAT INDEX IS AN INDEX THAT COMBINES AIR
TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN AN ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE THE
HUMAN-PERCEIVED EQUIVALENT...HOW HOT IT ACTUALLY FEELS.

REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON & TONIGHT...AS WITH THE PREVIOUS DAY A
SHORTWAVE IS DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENINSULA THIS
AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASED MOISTURE AND UNSTABLE
AIR...AS WELL AS LIFT AND SLIGHTLY COOLER MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES.
THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL BOOST FOR
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. THE
WEST AND EAST COAST SEA BREEZES WILL ALSO MOVE INLAND THROUGH THE
DAY PROVIDING A BOUNDARY FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP. COLLISIONS BETWEEN VARIOUS LAKE BREEZES AND MESOSCALE
OUTFLOWS FROM FUTURE STORMS WILL KEEP THE PROCESS GOING FOR IGNITING
NEW CONVECTION. THE MAIN THREATS CONTINUE TO BE CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
(ISOLATED) AND PERHAPS SOME SMALL HAIL IN STRONGER CELLS. THE
STEERING FLOW IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT WITH MOVEMENT OUT OF THE
NORTH/NORTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 MPH. ACTIVITY WILL DECLINE AGAIN AROUND
MID TO LATE EVENING. YET ANOTHER MILD AND MUGGY NIGHT IN STORE WITH
LOWS IN THE 70S. EXPECT SOME SPOTTY FOG FORMATION AGAIN IN THE USUAL
SPOTS...THOUGH COVERAGE WILL NOT WARRANT WORDING IN THE ZONES
OUTSIDE OF LAKE & INLAND VOLUSIA COUNTIES.

WED...THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN WILL REMAIN PERSISTENT WITH
RIDGING ALIGNED ACROSS THE CENTRAL PENINSULA. NORTH-NORTHEAST FLOW
ALOFT WILL REMAIN AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TRAVELS AROUND THE PERIPHERY
OF THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE AND DOWN THE PENINSULA DURING THE DAY. EXPECT
ACTIVITY TO GENERATE AGAIN EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON WITH FORMATION AND
INLAND MOVEMENT OF THE SEA BREEZES WITH ENHANCEMENT VIA THE
SOUTHWARD TRAVELING SHORTWAVE. WILL TAPER POPS FROM 20 PERCENT NEAR
THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND 30 PERCENT INLAND AS THE STEERING FLOW
REGIME TENDS TO FAVOR HIGHER CHANCES INTO THE INTERIOR. HIGHS AGAIN
VERY WARM...BUT NO RECORDS EXPECTED TO FALL...WITH NEAR 90 DEGREES
TO THE LOWER 90S ALONG THE COAST AND MIDDLE 90S INTO THE INTERIOR.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THU-SAT...UPR RIDGE HOLDS FIRM ACROSS THE NRN GULF COAST WITH A
WEAK SFC TROUGH EXTENDING DOWN THE MID ATLC SEABOARD TOWARD THE
PENINSULA. MITIGATING FACTORS LIMITING RAINFALL WL BE WARMER THAN
NORMAL TEMPS ALOFT ALONG WITH A WEAKLY NORTHEAST STEERING WIND.
MARGINAL MOISTURE COUPLED WITH AFTN HEATING WL ALLOW FOR  20-30
PERCENT DIURNAL SHOWER/STORM COVERAGE WITH INTERIOR FAVORED FOR
THE HIGHER COVERAGES DUE TO BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. TEMPS WILL BE
QUITE WARM WITH MID 90S INLAND AND LOWER 90S AT THE COASTAL AREAS.

EXTENDED...ECMWF/GFS INDICATE BREAKING OF UPR RIDGE EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH DEVELOPMENT OF UPR TROUGHING OVER THE EASTERN CONUS
EARLY/MID NEXT WEEK. THIS PATTERN WL LEAD TO INCREASED RAINFALL
POTENTIAL ALONG WITH WLY FLOW FAVORING THE EAST PENINSULA FOR
AFTERNOON STORM COVERAGE FROM SUNDAY THROUGH AROUND TUE.

&&

.AVIATION...TEMPO IFR/MVFR CIG AND VSBYS POSSIBLE IN SCT SHRAS/TSRAS
EARLY THIS AFTN ALONG THE COAST...AND MID-LATE AFTN FURTHER INTO THE
INTERIOR. SOME GUSTS FROM STRONGER STORMS MAY EXCEED 35 KTS.
ACTIVITY TO DIE DOWN AGAIN DURING THE MID TO LATE EVENING PERIOD.
SOME REDUCTION TO VISIBILITIES AGAIN LATE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY WED
MORNING POSSIBLE AT LOCAL AERODROME SITES.

&&

.MARINE...TONIGHT-WED...WEAK SURFACE RIDGING REMAINS OVER THE
CENTRAL PENINSULA AND COASTAL WATERS. RELATIVELY GOOD BOATING
CONDITIONS CONTINUE WITH SEAS 1-2 FT. LIGHT E/SE WINDS AOB 10 KTS
EXPECTED TO TRANSITION LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT ANYWHERE
FROM W/SW TO A W/NW COMPONENT. WED AFTN WINDS WILL AGAIN REVERT BACK
TO THE E/SE DUE TO THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE FORMATION AND
PENETRATION INLAND.

MARINERS OVER THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS AND NEAR SHORE WATERS OF THE
WESTERN ATLC WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY ALL THIS WEEK FOR
STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS...LOCALLY HIGHER
SEAS...FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING WITH STRONG
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING STORMS.

THU-SUN...OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
LATEST GFS INDICATES WIND SPEEDS WILL INCREASE BY FRI...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE WEEKEND. NEARSHORE SEA CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN RATHER
BENIGN BUT WELL OFFSHORE THE SEAS MAY REACH 3-4 FEET.

DESPITE THE LOW LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW...THE PROSPECT FOR OFFSHORE
MOVING STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON LOOKS LOW AS THE STEERING FLOW IS
FORECAST TO BE TO THE SOUTHWEST THU-FRI THEN BECOME WEAK.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE ALOFT ROTATING AROUND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
PUSH OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA LATE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THIS
FEATURE ALONG WITH NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES FROM SEA AND LAKE
BREEZES...AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SCATTERED AFTERNOON STORMS. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM OVER THE
NORTHERN SECTIONS ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BY LATE
MORNING...THEN BUILD TOWARD THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN ADDITION TO DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS...A FEW STRONGER STORMS MAY PRODUCE
WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH AND SMALL HAIL.

MOVE INDOORS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF AN APPROACHING STORM. WAIT UNTIL A
HALF HOUR AFTER YOU HEAR THE LAST THUNDER BEFORE RETURNING OUTDOORS.

...EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IN PLACE OVER THE REGION WILL CONTINUE
TO BRING LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE REGION. THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON WILL CAP AFTERNOON
HIGH TEMPERATURES ALONG THE COAST AT AROUND 90 DEGREES. THE SLOW
PROGRESS OF THE SEA BREEZE WILL ALLOW HIGHS ACROSS THE INTERIOR TO
REACH INTO THE MID 90S. THESE TEMPERATURES...IN COMBINATION WITH
MOISTURE VALUES SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE WILL COMBINE TO BRING
AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 100 TO 102 DEGREES FOR SEVERAL
HOURS THIS AFTERNOON. IF YOU MUST ENGAGE IN STRENUOUS OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES TODAY...BE SURE TO DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES AND TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS IN AIR CONDITIONED BUILDINGS.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
ISOLATED LIGHTNING STORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEAR
SHORE ATLANTIC AND INTRACOASTAL WATERS BY LATE THIS MORNING AS THE
EAST COAST SEA BREEZE DEVELOPS AND MOVES INLAND. SCATTERED STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE INTERIOR DURING THE
AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL ALSO AFFECT INLAND LAKES ACROSS THE REGION. A
FEW STORMS MAY MOVE OFF SHORE INTO THE INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE
WATERS OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC DURING THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EVENING.

STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS...LOCALLY HIGHER
SEAS...FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING WILL OCCUR
WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. INLAND LAKES ARE NOT IMMUNE FROM THE
EFFECTS OF STRONG STORMS AND HAZARDOUS BOATING CONDITIONS CAN
QUICKLY DEVELOP OVER LAKES WITH GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY WHILE BOATING...AND BE PREPARED TO SEEK SAFE
HARBOR WELL BEFORE A STORM APPROACHES YOUR AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE REGION THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES...AND HIGH
AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE DAILY
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. MARINERS ON INLAND LAKES AND THOSE
OUT ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE WATERS OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL NEED
TO KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
