AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
200 PM EDT TUE MAR 24 2009

.DISCUSSION...

...ABOVE NORMAL RIP CURRENT RISK THIS WEEK...
...GUSTY SE WINDS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WATERS THROUGH FRIDAY...

TONIGHT/WEDNESDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER THE
AREA INTO TOMORROW AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS NORTH OF THE AREA ALONG
THE EAST COAST. SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR OVERNIGHT WITH
EASTERLY WINDS DECREASING TO AROUND 5-10 MPH. ONSHORE WINDS LOOK TO
BE STRONGEST ALONG THE COAST SOUTH OF THE CAPE WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPS
ELEVATED WITH LOWS IN THE LOW/MID 60S. FARTHER NORTH AND INLAND LOWS
WILL BE IN THE MID/UPPER 50S.

WINDS WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHEASTERLY TOMORROW BUT WILL CONTINUE TO
BECOME BREEZY ALONG THE COAST UP TO 15 TO 20 MPH AND AROUND 15 MPH
INLAND. SLIGHT INCREASE IN MOISTURE WILL OCCUR OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS WHICH MAY ALLOW A FEW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP OFFSHORE...THEREFORE
WENT AHEAD AND ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OVER THE MARINE
WATERS WEDNESDAY. HIGHS WILL ONCE AGAIN REACH THE MID 70S ALONG THE
COAST TO UPPER 70S/NEAR 80 INLAND.

THU-FRI...A SHORTWAVE WELL NORTH OF THE AREA WILL MOVE NE ACROSS THE
OHIO AND TN VALLEYS AND DRAG A FRONT ACROSS S GA/AL. FRONTAL
CLOUDINESS AND PSBL STORMS WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE PENINSULA
AS HIGH PRESSURE EAST OF THE STATE KEEPS BREEZY SE/SSE FLOW NEAR THE
COAST. SE FLOW WILL VEER TO SOUTHERLY ON FRIDAY OVER THE INTERIOR
AND SE ALONG THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON WITH ANOTHER BREEZY
AFTERNOON SEA BRZ. MOISTURE VALUES LOOK TO REMAIN TOO LOW FOR ANY
PRECIP WITH HIGHS IN THE UPR 70S/LWR 80S THU WARMING TO THE LWR-MID
80S ON FRI...A BIT COOLER NEAR THE EAST COAST. THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND WITH ANOTHER SET OF
NE SWELLS AFFECTING THE BEACHES THROUGH LATE WEEK.

SAT-TUE...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...STRONG H50 SHORT WAVE TROUGH/LOW
MOVG NEWD OUT OF THE CTRL CONUS WILL GRADUALLY BEAT DOWN THE
RIDGE...WITH THE UPR FLOW BECMG GNRLLY ZONAL BY SUN NGT/MON. STRONG
SFC LOW MOVG IN TANDEM WITH THE UPR FEATURE WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT
INTO NORTH FL BY SAT NGT...WHICH WILL SLOW AS IT MOVES GRADUALLY
SEWD THROUGH CTRL FL SUN AFTN/EARLY EVENING. SAT LOOKS TO BE
DOWNRIGHT HOT WITH MAXES AT OR NEAR 90F UNDER GUSTY SSW-SW
FLOW...WITH A LATE DAY SEA BREEZE PSBL NR THE SPACE/TREASURE COASTS
THOUGH LKLY PINNED PRETTY CLOSE TO THE BEACH. EARLY SPRING DAYS CAN
SOMETIMES BE NOTORIOUSLY WARMER THAN WHAT EARLY GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS...SO WILL KEEP TABS ON TEMP TRENDS. HAVE NUDGED POPS UP A
BIT FOR BOTH SAT NGT (30/20...MAINLY LATE) AS WELL AS SUN (30 ALL
AREAS) AS FRONT LOOKS TO HAVE A DECENT MOISTURE BAND ASCD WITH
IT...AS WELL AS SOME MID/UPR LVL SUPPORT. HAVE HELD OFF ON MENTION
OF TS...GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN DIURNAL TIMING. SLGTLY COOLER/DRIER
FOR MON. WITH FRONT STALLING ACROSS SOUTH FL...THERE COULD BE A BIT
MORE IN THE WAY OF CLOUDS NR LAKE OKEE MON.

MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO FCST EARLY NEXT WEEK AND FOLLOWED
06Z/12Z GFS AND 00Z ECM WHICH DRIES AIRMASS OUT BEHIND THE FRONT.
WILL KEEP NEW DAY7 DRY AT THIS POINT WITH SFC HIGH BUILDING NEAR THE
AREA AND PWATS DROPPING BELOW A HALF INCH.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS NEXT 24 HOURS.

&&

.MARINE...SEAS UP TO 6 FT WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST OFFSHORE AND OVER
THE SOUTHERN NEARSHORE COASTAL WATERS INTO TOMORROW MORNING. WILL
CONTINUE SCEC HEADLINES FOR THIS REGION. EASTERLY WINDS WILL BECOME
MORE SOUTHEASTERLY TONIGHT AND REMAIN UP TO AROUND 15 KTS WITH 15 TO
20 KTS OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS. A COMBINATION OF SWELLS AND WIND
INDUCED WAVES WILL GENERATE SEAS UP TO 7 FT OFFSHORE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WITH A SCA STARTING AT 2 PM WEDNESDAY.

EXTENDED PERIOD OF BREEZY SE WINDS OVER THE ATLC WATERS AVERAGING
15-20 KNOTS THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BUILD WIND WAVES TO 4 TO 6 FT.
ANOTHER NE SWELL TRAIN WILL IMPACT THE WATERS AS WELL BRINGING
COMBINED SEAS TO 7-8 FT OFFSHORE. WILL CONTINUE ADVISORY FOR THE
OFFSHORE WATERS INTO FRIDAY WITH SE WINDS TO 20 KNOTS AND COMBINED
SEAS AROUND 7 FT. COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE WATERS
SUNDAY MORNING WITH WINDS BECOMING GUSTY FROM THE SW AHEAD OF THE
FRONT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY TOMORROW AND STILL
INCREASE UP TO AROUND 15 MPH INLAND WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS ALONG THE
COAST UP TO 15 TO 20 MPH. RH VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN FALL TO AROUND
35 TO 40 PERCENT OVER THE NORTHERN INTERIOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
THIS WILL CREATE NEAR RED FLAG CONDITIONS AGAIN OVER THIS AREA.

MARGINALLY LOW RH EXPECTED OVER THE INTERIOR FOR WED-FRI WITH MIN
RHS 36-40 PCT FOR AN HOUR OR TWO EACH AFTERNOON. DRY SOUTHERLY FLOW
SAT (POSSIBLY BECOMING GUSTY IN THE AFTERNOON FOR THE INTERIOR AND
LIKELY ALONG THE COAST WITH THE AFTN SEA BRZ) AND HIGHS IN THE UPR
80S/NEAR 90 OVER THE INTERIOR WILL SPELL A SENSITIVE FIRE WEATHER
DAY.

502 AM EDT TUE MAR 24 2009

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
WEATHER AND OCEAN CONDITIONS WILL PRODUCE A HIGH RISK OF RIP
CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES.

A RIP CURRENT IS A NARROW CHANNEL OF WATER FLOWING RAPIDLY
OUTWARD FROM THE SURF ZONE WHICH CAN CARRY EVEN THE STRONGEST
SWIMMERS INTO DEEP WATER. IF CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...REMAIN CALM
AND SIGNAL FOR HELP. SWIM PARALLEL TO THE COAST UNTIL THE PULL
OF THE CURRENT SUBSIDES...THEN RETURN TO SHORE. DO NOT TRY TO SWIM
BACK TO SHORE AGAINST THE CURRENT SINCE THIS WILL CAUSE EXHAUSTION
WHICH IS WHAT CAUSES MOST RIP CURRENT DROWNINGS. FOR ADDITIONAL
SAFETY...SWIM ONLY AT BEACHES WHERE LIFEGUARDS ARE PRESENT AND
NEVER SWIM ALONE.

...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR OFFSHORE WATERS AND
OVER THE SOUTHERN NEAR SHORE LEGS. EAST WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN
TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS OVER THESE AREAS WITH SEAS 5 TO 6 FEET COMBINING
FOR LESS THAN IDEAL SMALL CRAFT BOATING CONDITIONS.

...FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND EAST WINDS WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE FIRE
DANGER ACROSS LAKE COUNTY AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF VOLUSIA AND
ORANGE COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON. A LOWER FIRE DANGER EXISTS TOWARD
THE EAST COAST.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN HAZARDOUS FOR SMALL CRAFT
MUCH OF THIS WEEK. A LARGE LONG PERIOD NORTHEAST SWELL IS FORECAST
TO IMPACT THE SURF ZONE BEGINNING THURSDAY AND ENHANCE THE RIP
CURRENT THREAT LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

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