AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
255 PM EDT THU AUG 6 2009

.DISCUSSION...

TODAY-TONIGHT...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE EASTERN
US WITH A STRONGER SHORTWAVE CONTINUING TO SHARPEN THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE FL PANHANDLE. OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM
ACTIVITY THIS MORNING OVER SW FL AND THE GULF STREAM INTERACTED WITH
THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE LATE THIS MORNING RESULTING IN AN EARLY
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES.NORTHERN
COUNTIES SO FAR HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY QUIET...BUT EXPECTED TO SEE A
QUICK INCREASE IN ACTIVITY OVER THE NEXT HOUR AS THE SEA BREEZES
INTERACT WITH THE OUTFLOW FROM ACTIVITY FURTHER SOUTH.

WITH CONTINUING S-SW STEERING FLOW STORMS WILL GENERALLY TRACK OFF
TO THE NNE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LATE MORNING SOUNDING ALSO
CONTINUE TO INDICATE PWATS CONTINUING JUST UNDER 2 AND TEMPS AT 500
MB AT -7 TO -8C. AS WITH THE PAST FEW DAYS...ISOLD STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH THE MAIN FOCUS FOR
ACTIVITY SHIFTING OVER THE NORTHERN COUNTIES. FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...HAIL...AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS.
SLOW MOVING STORMS WILL ALSO BRING ROUNDS OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL.

ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH AFTER THE LATE EVENING WITH SKIES
GRADUALLY BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY.

FRI...SHORTWAVE OVER THE PANHANDLE IS FORECAST TO SHIFT WESTWARD AS
FLOW AROUND THE THE MAIN EASTERN US TROUGH BECOMES MORE ZONAL AND
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REASSERTS ITSELF. MODELS STILL ARE INDICATING
FRIDAY AS THE DAY WHEN THE LOW LVL RIDGE AXIS SCOOTS NORTH OF
CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THE EASTERLIES REASSERT THEMSELVES. AS MODELS
HAVENT HAD A GREAT HANDLE ON THIS PROGRESSION SO FAR...SO HAVE OPTED
FOR LESS AGGRESSIVE SOLUTION THAT KEEPS THE AREA A LITTLE MORE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF THE TROUGH. STORMS LOOK TO FOCUS MORE TOWARDS THE
INTERIOR AND WESTERN PENINSULA FOR TOMORROW AND STEERING FLOW PICKS
UP A LITTLE MORE OUT OF THE EAST. WITH PWATS LINGERING PWATS NEAR
2...HAVE KEPT 60 PERCENT POPS OVER THE INTERIOR WITH A DIMINISHING
GRADIENT TOWARDS THE COAST WHERE HAVE KEPT 50 PERCENT.

SAT-SUN...H5 RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER GA/SC OVER THE WEEKEND WITH A
SUBSTANTIAL LOWERING OF PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AS AIRMASS DRIES
ABOVE H7. DEEP ONSHORE FLOW WILL PROMOTE HIGHEST COVERAGE ABOUT 30
PCT ACROSS THE INTERIOR FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. BY SUNDAY...MID LYR
RIDGE REMAINS NORTH OF THE STATE WITH GFS INDICATING A RETURN OF
SOME MOISTURE FROM THE ATLC. THIS WILL RAISE POPS INTO THE SCATTERED
RANGE ALL AREAS...WITH ACTIVITY FAVORED OVER INTERIOR AND SRN
SECTIONS. HIGHS NEAR 90 COAST TO LWR 90S FOR THE INTERIOR.

MON-THU...PREV DISCUSSION...DLM RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN N OF THE
CENTRAL FL PENINSULA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.  THE RESULTING E/SE FLOW
WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR THE W FL PENINSULA FOR DIURNAL PRECIP.  BOTH
THE GFS/ECMWF MODELS BRING A NEW FRONTAL TROF INTO THE ERN SEABOARD
BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.  THIS SHOULD SUPPRESS THE BERMUDA RIDGE
AXIS BACK INTO THE FL PENINSULA...RESULTING IN WEAKER STEERING FLOW
AND INCREASING LOW/MID LVL SUPPRESSION.  POPS WILL REMAIN BLO 50%
THRU MID WEEK...WHILE  OCEAN MODIFIED AIR WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS NEAR
CLIMO...MIN TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABV CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLD SHRA/TSRA OVER THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES THROUGH 23Z.
SCT-NMRS COVERAGE FROM KMCO-KTIX NORTH THROUGH 01Z. ALL SHRA/TSRA
WILL PRODUCE TEMPO MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WITH POSSIBLE GUSTY WINDS
NEAR 35KTS. PREVAILING VFR WITH HIGH CLOUDS AFTER 01Z WITH LOCAL
MVFR FOG IN AREAS THAT RECEIVED RAIN THIS MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...

TONIGHT-FRI...RIDGE AXIS SHIFTING NORTHWARD WILL RESULT IN
INCREASING SE FLOW AROUND 10 KTS. SEAS CONTINUE AT 2 TO 3 FT. WEAK
WESTERLY STEERING FLOW MAY BE ABLE TO PUSH STORMS OFFSHORE MAINLY
ALONG THE VOLUSIA/N BREVARD COUNTY COASTS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING.

SAT-TUE..SE FLOW OVER THE WEEKEND WILL VEER TO SOUTHERLY BY MID
WEEK. SAT LOOKS TO BE A GOOD BOATING DAY WITH LITTLE IF ANY
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY OVER THE ATLC.

506 AM EDT THU AUG 6 2009

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA. STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE BOUNDARY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE SPACE AND TREASURE
COAST. ADDITIONAL STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS LAKE COUNTY AND THE INTERSTATE FOUR
CORRIDOR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. HIGHEST STORM COVERAGE WILL OCCUR
AROUND MID-AFTERNOON OVER METRO ORLANDO TO DAYTONA BEACH AND AREAS
SOUTH TO LAKE OKEECHOBEE WHILE DRIFTING EAST TO SOUTHEAST TOWARD
THE EAST COAST AT 5 TO 10 MPH.

THE PRESENCE OF COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW STORMS
TO PRODUCE COIN SIZE HAIL ALONG WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND
FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
INTERACTION OF BOUNDARIES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SLOW MOVING
STORMS WILL PRODUCE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS UP TO 2
TO 3 INCHES. RAPID ACCUMULATION OF RAINFALL CAN PRODUCE MINOR
FLOODING OF URBAN...LOW LYING...AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
WESTERLY STEERING FLOW WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE THREAT FOR
OFFSHORE MOVING THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY ALONG THE VOLUSIA AND
NORTH BREVARD COUNTY COASTLINE. FREQUENT CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING
STRIKES AND WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 35 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN
THE STRONGEST STORMS AS THEY MOVE EAST TO SOUTHEAST OVER COASTAL
AREAS. INLAND LAKES WILL ALSO HAVE A LOW THREAT OF STORMS
PRODUCING WIND GUSTS NEAR 35 KNOTS ALONG WITH DEADLY LIGHTNING
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

...WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
A BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUD OR WATERSPOUT WILL BE POSSIBLE AT THE COAST
AND INTRACOASTAL WATERS MAINLY LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON IN DEVELOPING STORMS. CONDITIONS FOR THIS ARE
HISTORICALLY HIGHER OVER THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS AND MERRITT
ISLAND AS THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY MOVES INLAND OR
REMAINS STATIONARY ALONG THE COAST.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH
OF THE AREA BY THE WEEKEND. SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP EACH
AFTERNOON WITH GREATEST CHANCES OCCURRING INLAND AWAY FROM THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. THE THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS WILL INCREASE THIS
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ONSHORE
FLOW.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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