...COLD FRONT WITH ASSOCIATED LINE OF STORMS TO SWEEP ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA ON TUE...

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENT/OVERNIGHT...CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAD A DIFFICULT TIME TRYING
TO INITIATE ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA LATE THIS AFTERNOON &
EVENING DUE TO A STRONG MID-LEVEL CAP (WARMER AIR). A FEW ISOLD
SHORT-LIVED SHOWERS AND ONE STORM DID GET GOING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PENINSULA ALONG THE EAST-WEST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY COLLISION
BUT WITH LITTLE FAN-FARE. JUST NORTH OF OUR COVERAGE WARNING AREA
TONIGHT...ABOVE LAKE AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES...A TORNADO WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR NORTH-CENTRAL FLORIDA UNTIL (06Z) 2AM. TO THE NORTH AND
WEST A MASSIVE SQUALL LINE IS ONGOING FROM NORTH FLORIDA EXTENDING
SOUTHWEST INTO THE GOMEX. MODELS SHOW THIS ORGANIZED LINE ON THE
DOOR-STEPS OF LAKE AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES BY 12Z (8AM). AT THE RATE IT
IS MOVING NOW IT MAY VERY WELL REACH OUR NORTHERN FORECAST AREA WELL
BEFORE 12Z. DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS &
STORMS IN THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-4
CORRIDOR. A FEW STRONGER CELLS WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT DOWN
SMALL HAIL...CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS AS WELL AS FREQUENT LIGHTNING. DUE
TO THE CURRENT WIND PROFILES...HIGH LOW-LEVEL HELICITY...SOME STORMS
MAY HAVE TO BE WATCHED FOR ROTATION. SOUTHEASTERLY (BREEZY) WINDS
REMAIN GUSTY THIS EVENING...THOUGH ARE FORECAST TO FALL TO BETWEEN
10 AND 15 MPH IN MOST AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY
BY SUNRISE. STILL EXPECT TO SEE STRONGER GUSTS THROUGH THE NIGHT.
LOWS TO REMAIN MILD IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

TUE...(PREVIOUS)...PREFRONTAL SQUALL LINE POISED TO MOVE ACROSS EC
FL. MODELS STILL INDICATING LLJ WILL RACE QUICKLY ACROSS NC
PENINSULA DURING THE MORNING HOURS. LINE OF STORMS WILL BE
FAST-MOVING WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO LOCALLY DAMAGING
GUSTS...ESP FROM AROUND I-4 NORTHWARD. DID NOT PINPOINT TIMING IN
ZONES/GRIDS QUITE THAT CLOSE SINCE TIMING OF ARRIVAL OF THE LINE
COULD STILL SLOW DOWN A BIT. TEMPS IN THE SOUTH SHOULD BE ABLE TO
REACH 90 SOUTHERN SECTIONS AND BE LIMITED TO LOWER 80S NORTH DUE TO
ARRIVAL OF PRECIP.

&&

.AVIATION...SE WINDS 15 KT AND GUSTY WILL NOT FALL OFF TOO MUCH THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WDLY SCT
SHRA/ISOLD TSRA FROM KLEE-KSFB-KDAB NORTHWARD THRU SUNRISE WITH
TEMPO REDUCTIONS TO CIGS/VSBYS. SOME REDUCTIONS IN LOW STRATUS AS
SUNRISE APPROACHES TUE ELSEWHERE. LINE OF STORMS MAY PROGRESS SOUTH
THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA THROUGH THE MORNING/AFTERNOON. THREATS WOULD
INCLUDE SMALL HAIL...GUSTY WINDS AND CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

&&

.MARINE...OVERNIGHT/TUE...SE FLOW TO VEER LATE OVERNIGHT TO MORE
S...THEN TO SW EARLY TUE. WINDS 20-25 KTS OFFSHORE WITH OCNL
STRONGER GUSTS AND 15-20 KTS NEAR SHORE WITH OCNL STRONGER GUSTS. A
SCA REMAINS FOR OFFSHORE WATERS THRU TONIGHT AND TUE. CAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR NEAR SHORE WATERS...THOUGH WILL HAVE
TO REMAIN MONITORED FOR AN UPGRADE TO A SCA IF CONDITIONS WARRANT. A
POSSIBLE STRONG SQUALL LINE WILL APPROACH NORTHERN WATERS LATE
OVERNIGHT/EARLY TUE MORNING WORKING SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY.
AS THE STORMS MOVE OFF THE COAST GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL...CLOUD TO
WATER LIGHTNING AND WATERSPOUTS (NORTH) WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.

...A FEW STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE LATE OVERNIGHT NORTH OF THE I-4

SOUTHWARD AND MOVE ACROSS PORTIONS OF LAKE...VOLUSIA...SEMINOLE AND
ORANGE COUNTIES. PRIMARY WEATHER HAZARDS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND

LEVEL SHEAR...A FEW STORMS MAY ROTATE...PROVIDING FOR A LOW THREAT
FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
A FEW STORMS MOVING OFFSHORE THE VOLUSIA COUNTY COAST OVERNIGHT WILL
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS EXCEEDING 34 KNOTS ACROSS THE
HALIFAX RIVER AND INTRACOASTAL WATERS SOUTH TO MOSQUITO LAGOON AND
THE NEARSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. THERE WILL ALSO BE A LOW END THREAT
FOR AN ISOLATED WATERSPOUT OVER COASTAL WATERS OFF OF VOLUSIA COUNTY.

...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
INCREASING WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT WILL PRODUCE WINDS
OVER 20 KNOTS AND SEAS 7 FEET OR HIGHER OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS.
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 KNOTS ACROSS NEAR SHORE
WATERS AND SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
SCATTERED LIGHTNING STORMS ARE FORECAST ACROSS EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA ON TUESDAY. THE PRESENCE OF STRONG WINDS IN THE LOWER
ATMOSPHERE ALONG WITH FORCING PRODUCED BY THE PASSING SURFACE
FRONT WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS FROM STRONG
OR POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...FREQUENT
LIGHTNING AND SMALL HAIL WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. DRYING
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL LEAD TO A FIRE WEATHER DANGER FOR PORTIONS OF
EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA ON WEDNESDAY.

ACTIVATE IF A WARNING IS ISSUED IN YOUR AREA.
