AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
315 PM EST TUE DEC 7 2010

.DISCUSSION...

...FREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED AGAIN LATE TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING...

TONIGHT...THE APPROACH OF HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY CENTERED OFF TO
THE WEST/NORTHWEST WILL ACT TO DECREASE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. AS A RESULT...WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIE
DOWN TO AROUND 5 MPH AND BELOW BY THIS EVENING AND NEGATE THE
THREAT FOR DANGEROUS WIND CHILL VALUES TONIGHT. HOWEVER...LOWER
WIND SPEEDS WILL ACT TO ALLOW FOR INCREASING RADIATIONAL COOLING
AND TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO OR SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN THOSE EXPERIENCED
TUESDAY MORNING.

THE ONLY CAVEAT TO THE SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AS
OPPOSED TO LAST NIGHT IS THE CHANCE FOR SOME CIRRUS BY EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WOULD ACT TO PARTIALLY INHIBIT RADIATIONAL
COOLING AND KEEP TEMPERATURES ELEVATED A FEW DEGREES FROM FORECASTED
LOWS. REGARDLESS...IT WILL BE ANOTHER COLD NIGHT ACROSS EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA AND CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP WARM THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET INTO THE UPPER 20S ACROSS A
GOOD PORTION OF THE INTERIOR WHILE COASTAL AREAS WILL REMAIN IN THE
LOWER 30S.

MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW THE UPPER AND MID LEVELS CONTINUOUSLY
MOISTENING WEDNESDAY OUT AHEAD OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTING OUT OF
THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THIS
WILL INCREASE CLOUD COVER ABOUT THE AREA DURING THE DAY
TOMORROW...BUT LOW AND EVEN MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL STILL BE FAR
FROM SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT ANY KIND OF PRECIPITATION DURING THE
DAY ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE IT INTO THE UPPER
50S TO THE NORTH AND LOW TO MID 60S TO THE SOUTH...AS MID TO UPPER
LEVEL WINDS BACK TO THE WEST OUT AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
SHORTWAVE TROUGH.

WED NIGHT...THE COOL PATTERN WILL PERSIST WITH SFC RIDGE AXIS
REMAINING WEST OF THE AREA ALLOWING DRY CONTINENTAL AIRMASS TO
CONTINUE FUNNELING DOWN THE PENINSULA. INCREASING MID AND UPPER
MOISTURE WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM THE WEST AS A WELL DEFINED
SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROTATES ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. AN INCREASE IN MID
AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS IS EXPECTED BUT A LOWER LEVEL DRY LAYER IS
INDICATED IN THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS...WHICH SHOULD INHIBIT ANY
PRECIPITATION CHANCES.

HOW QUICKLY THE CLOUDS DEPART WILL DETERMINE HOW COLD IT WILL GET.
THIS COMPLICATES THE LOW TEMP FCST. THE LATEST NAM KEEPS IT CLOUDY
ACROSS THE AREA...WHILE THE GFS SHOWS CLOUDS THINNING OUT IN THE
NORTH LATE. BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW IS FORECAST AROUND 10 KNOTS
THOUGH...SO CONDITIONS LOOK TOO MARGINAL AT THIS TIME TO WARRANT A
FREEZE WATCH IN THE FAR NORTH INTERIOR.

THU-MON (PREVIOUS DISCUSSION)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER
THE SOUTHEAST TO OFFER EVER VEERING AND RELAXING WINDS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. MODERATING EFFECTS WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO NEAR CLIMO
FRI INTO SAT. PROGRESSIVE SHORT WAVE DEVELOPS OVER THE PLAINS WITH
STRONG SFC LOW MOVING EAST ACROSS TN VALLEY SUNDAY AND INTO NEW
ENGLAND MONDAY. TRAILING COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY AND BRING WITH IT THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN...40 PERCENT NORTH
AND 30 PERCENT SOUTH. NOTICEABLY COLDER AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA
ONCE AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. A FEW CIRRUS LOOK
TO ROLL IN EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THICKEN AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN NORTHWESTERLY AT AROUND 5
KNOTS TONIGHT AND 5 TO 10 KNOTS WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...WINDS WILL
BECOME ALL WESTERLY ABOVE 4000 TO 5000 FEET DURING THE DAY
TOMORROW.

&&

.MARINE...WIND SPEEDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS NEAR 25 KNOTS
ARE CURRENTLY BEING REPORTED AT BUOY 41009. WAVES ARE RANGING
BETWEEN 7 AND 8 FEET WITH PERIODS OF APPROXIMATELY 8 TO 9
SECONDS...MAKING FOR CHOPPY SEAS. WILL HANG ON TO SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS UNTIL 4 AM WEDNESDAY. WAVE
HEIGHTS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY FALL UNTIL REACHING 4 TO 5 FEET
DURING THE AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY AND PERIODS WILL DECREASE TO 6 TO 7
SECONDS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT BOATING CONDITIONS TO
IMPROVE DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

THU-FRI...THE LATEST GFS SHOWS AN INVERTED TROUGH LINGERING ACROSS
THE WATERS DUE TO COOLER/DRIER AIR MASS ENTRENCHED OVER THE
PENINSULA AND EASTERLY FLOW UPSTREAM OVER THE ATLANTIC. THIS WOULD
RESULT MAINLY IN A NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW 10 KNOTS OR LESS.

WEEKEND...THE LIGHTER WIND REGIME SHOULD CONTINUE ON SAT.

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTING INTO THE MID SECTION OF THE
COUNTRY ON SUNDAY IS FORECAST TO SWING A STRONG COLD FRONT INTO
THE WATERS DURING THE AFTERNOON. INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REACH STRONG SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS BY LATE IN
THE DAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WIND SPEEDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS NEAR 25
KNOTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING REPORTED AT BUOY 41009. WAVES ARE
RANGING BETWEEN 7 AND 8 FEET WITH PERIODS OF APPROXIMATELY 8 TO 9
SECONDS...MAKING FOR CHOPPY SEAS. WILL HANG ON TO SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS UNTIL 4 AM WEDNESDAY. WAVE
HEIGHTS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY FALL UNTIL REACHING 4 TO 5 FEET
DURING THE AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY AND PERIODS WILL DECREASE TO 6 TO 7
SECONDS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT BOATING CONDITIONS TO
IMPROVE DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

THU...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SHOULD
SHIFT THE WINDS TO ONSHORE...BUT THE GFS CONTINUES TO INDICATE AN
INVERTED TROUGH SETTING UP JUST OFFSHORE...WITH MAINLY A NORTH TO
NORTHEAST FLOW ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WOULD LIMIT AIR MASS MODIFICATION
ACROSS THE INTERIOR...SO CURRENT FIRE WEATHER WATCH THERE STILL
LOOKS GOOD.

FRI-SUN...INCREASING MARINE INFLUENCE SHOULD KEEP MIN RH VALUES
ABOVE 35 PERCENT THROUGH SAT THEN THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...EXCESSIVE COLD IMPACT...
FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING...LASTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. LIGHTER WINDS AND
CLEAR SKIES WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO QUICKLY DROP AFTER SUNSET
WITH TEMPERATURES AFTER MIDNIGHT FALLING INTO THE UPPER 20S OVER
MUCH OF THE INTERIOR WITH LOW 30S EXPECTED OVER URBAN AREAS AND
ALONG THE COAST. ALONG THE BARRIER ISLANDS OF THE BREVARD AND
TREASURE COASTS...TEMPERATURES WILL REACH NEAR FREEZING.

PEOPLE SHOULD CONTINUE TO TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT
COLD SENSITIVE PLANTS THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING.

BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING SPACE HEATERS.
SEVERAL HOME FIRES HAVE OCCURRED IN THE PAST WEEK DUE TO IMPROPER
USE OF PORTABLE HEATERS. ADDITIONALLY...PLAN TO KEEP SMALL PETS
INDOORS OVERNIGHT.

...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
ELEVATED NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE HAZARDOUS
BOATING CONDITIONS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WITH WIND SPEEDS THIS
MORNING UP TO 20 KNOTS NEARSHORE AND 20 TO 25 KNOTS OFFSHORE. WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO BEGINNING SLOWLY DECREASING THIS AFTERNOON. A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON AND FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS THROUGH THIS EVENING.

...FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
A VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY...PRODUCING MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AS LOW AS THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20S
ACROSS THE AREA. THESE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL COMBINE
WITH GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 15 MPH TO GENERATE DANGEROUS FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN
PLACE FOR ALL OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE WELL BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MID WEEK
WITH NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE OVER THE INTERIOR LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.

A VERY DRY AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TO PRODUCE SEVERAL HOURS
OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES BELOW CRITICAL THRESHOLD LIMITS FOR
MOST PLACES ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND THEN ACROSS INLAND SECTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK...TEMPERATURES WILL MODIFY LATE IN THE WEEK THEN ANOTHER
COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE FLORIDA PENINSULA LATE
THIS WEEKEND...BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AHEAD OF IT AND
ADDITIONAL COLDER AIR BEHIND IT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
