AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
1000 AM EST FRI FEB 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT...SFC COLD FRONT LIES JUST SOUTH OF THE FL KEYS...BUT THEN
BENDS NWD ACROSS GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND INTO A DVLPG SFC TROUGH/LOW
NEAR NOAA BUOY 41010. WIDESPREAD OVC LOW CLOUDS COVER THE CWA WITH
SOME OCNL MID/HIGH CLOUDS CASTING SHADOWS ON THE LWR DECK AS THEY
STREAM OVHD IN STRONG MID-UPR LVL FLOW. KMLB/TPBI SHOW AREA OF LGT
RAIN/DRIZZLE CONTINUING OVER FROM SOUTH FL NEWD INTO OUR SERN 3 COS.

TODAY...SFC LOW OFFSHORE ECFL COAST WILL LIFT OFF TO THE NW BY THIS
AFTN. THIS WILL DRAG A SURGE OF DRIER CONTINENTAL AIR SWD INTO THE
CWA...WITH SOME BREAKS IN THE LOW CLOUDS DVLPG LATE AFTN/PRIOR TO
SUNSET ACROSS THE FAR NORTH...BUT REMAINING CLDY TO THE SOUTH. CLDS
WILL HOLD TEMPS DOWN IN THE 50S THROUGH EARLY AFTN AND ONLY REACHING
L60S NORTH...AND MID TO PSBL U60S FAR SOUTH.

MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GRIDS TO LOWER MAX TEMPS BY ABOUT A CAT
AREAWIDE...AND LIMIT DCRS IN CLOUDS TO THE FAR NORTH...AND NOT QUITE
AS MUCH AS PREV INDICATED. WILL WORD SKIES OVER THE NORTH AS SHOWING
BREAKS OF SUN LATE OR VERBIAGE TO THAT EFFECT.

&&

.AVIATION...CIGS HAVE REMAINED ALONG CUSP OF IFR/MVFR (FL007-010)
SINCE A FEW HRS BEFORE SUNRISE WITH SPOTTY -DZ AND AREAS OF BR IN
MANY LOCALES. EXPECT CIGS TO GRDLY LIFT INTO MVFR CAT OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE HRS...BUT PROBABLY STAYING OVC AOB FL020 FOR MOST OF THE DAY
OVER ALL BUT THE FAR NRN (DAB/LEE AND PSBLY SFB) SITES...WHERE CONDS
COULD IMPROVE TO BKN020-030 TO LCLY SCT CLDS LATE. WILL SEE LOW CLD
CIGS BREAK UP N-S OVERNIGHT AS DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR SURGES INTO CWA
BEHIND DEPARTING ATLC LOW PRES.

&&

.MARINE...ALTHOUGH PRESENCE OF INVERTED TROUGH IS KEEPING WINDS S/SE
AT 41010...THINK IT'S AXIS IS EAST OF 60NM OFFSHORE. BASED ON WINDS/
SEAS AT 41009 (15-18KT AND 6-6.5FT)...THINK IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME THAT
NW-N FLOW IS PUSHING SEAS TO 7FT IN THE GULF STREAM...AND THAT CONDS
WILL SPREAD SOUTH FROM THIS AFTN ONWARD AS THE ATLC LOW SPINS UP AND
LIFTS OUT. HAVE COORD WITH JAX ON ISSUING SCA FOR THE 20-60NM LEGS
WITH THE MID MORNING PKG...AND CONTINUING THROUGH 03Z SUN (10 PM SAT
NGT).
