.DISCUSSION...

...HEAVY RAIN WITH LOCAL FLOODING LIKELY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...
...HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS AND BEACH EROSION THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THRU MIDNIGHT OVER MUCH OF EAST
CENTRAL FL AS STRONG/DEEP ERLY FLOW PUSHES A MOISTURE BAND ACRS THE
AREAS. BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE HEAVY RAIN AFT MIDNIGHT AS LATEST SAT
PICS SHOW A POCKET OF RELATIVELY DRY AIR OVER THE LCL ATLC WATERS.
DRY AIR CONFIRMED BY LATEST RADAR TREND AS PRECIP OVER THE ATLC HAS
DIMINISHED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HRS. PRECIP WILL PICK UP AGAIN IN
THE PREDAWN HRS AS THE NEXT MOISTURE BAND NE OF THE BAHAMAS PUSHES
INTO THE LCL ATLC. THE TIGHT PGRAD WILL MAINTAIN WINDY CONDS ALONG
THE COAST.

RECENT DROUGHT CONDS ACRS CENTRAL FL APPARENTLY HAVE ALLEVIATED
WDSPRD SIGNIFICANT FLOODING AS MOST PUBLIC REPORTS INDICATE ONLY
A FEW INCHES OF STANDING WATER IN MOST AREAS OUTSIDE OF A FEW ROAD
CLOSURES IN NRN OSCEOLA COUNTY. NEVERTHELESS...WHILE THE BREAK IN
THE PRECIP WILL ALLOW SOME STANDING WATER TO DRAIN OR RUNOFF...RADAR
RAINFALL ESTIMATES FROM 08/12Z-09/00Z INDICATE WIDESPREAD RAIN BTWN
3"-4" FROM BREVARD/INDIAN RIVER COUNTIES AND ERN ORANGE/OSCEOLA/NRN
OKEECHOBEE COUNTIES. ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN IN THESE AREAS WILL ALLOW
STANDING WATER TO REDEVELOP. A FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR ALL OF EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LAKE COUNTY.

SQUALLS NEAR THE COAST WILL GENERATE OCNL SFC G40-45 MPH...WHICH
WILL TAPER OFF TO 30-35MPH AFT MIDNIGHT AS THE POCKET OF RELATIVELY
DRY AIR PUSHES INTO CENTRAL FL.

.MARINE...
TIGHT PGRAD ACRS THE FL PENINSULA WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVERNIGHT AS
A STRONG HI PRES RIDGE OVER THE ERN CONUS INTERACTS WITH A BROAD LOW
PRES TROF OVER THE NW CARIB. THIS WILL GENERATE SUSTAINED SFC/BNDRY
LYR WINDS BTWN 25-30KTS WITH OCNL GUSTS OVER 40KTS...WHILE THE
LENGTHY ERLY FETCH WILL MAINTAIN 8-10FT SEAS NEARSHORE AND 12-15FT
SEAS OFFSHORE...UP TO 18FT IN THE GULF STREAM. DEEP MOISTURE OVER
THE SOURCE REGION THRU THE H100-H50 LYR WILL PROVIDE THE FUEL TO
ALLOW WDSPRD SHRAS/ISOLD TSRAS TO DEVELOP AREAWIDE...SOME OF WHICH
WILL BE CAPABLE OF GENERATING SFC GUSTS ARND 50KTS AS THEY MOVE E/SE
AT 30-35KTS.

GALE WARNING IN PLACE THRU 10Z MON. VENTURING OUT OF PORT IN
