AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
353 AM EST TUE FEB 15 2011
.DISCUSSION...
...QUIET WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND WITH A GRADUAL
WARMING TREND...
TODAY/TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GULF WILL MERGE WITH A
STRONGER HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY ELONGATED ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES REGION AND INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BUILD TOWARD THE EASTERN U.S. SEABOARD THROUGH
THE DAY. A WEAK BACK DOOR FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL IN THE MEANTIME
APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST AND MOVE SOUTHWESTWARD OVER
EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS BOUNDARY WILL ALLOW FOR A
SURGE IN NORTHEAST WINDS AND AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE
AREA LATER TODAY. DESPITE THE CROSSING OF THIS BOUNDARY...HIGHS WILL
STILL BE ABLE TO REACH NEAR NORMAL VALUES IN THE LOW 70S THIS
AFTERNOON. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE ALONG THE VOLUSIA COAST WHERE
ONSHORE FLOW OVER COOLER SHELF WATERS WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 60S.
LOW LEVEL NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO TONIGHT
BEHIND THE WEAK BACK DOOR FRONT AS HIGH PRESSURE CENTER REMAINS
NORTH OF THE AREA ALONG THE EASTERN U.S. COAST. MODELS CONTINUE TO
HINT AT THE GENERATION OF SHOWER BANDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS DUE
TO SPEED INDUCED CONVERGENCE AND MOVING THIS ACTIVITY ONSHORE.
HOWEVER MOS POPS ARE STILL TO LOW TO WARRANT THE MENTION OF RAIN
CHANCES AT THIS TIME ALONG THE COAST...SO WILL KEEP A DRY FORECAST
FOR NOW. TEMPS WILL BE MORE MILD TONIGHT DUE TO THE CONTINUED
ONSHORE FLOW WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE LOW/MID 50S OVER THE
INTERIOR TO UPPER 50S/NEAR 60 ALONG THE BREVARD AND TREASURE
COASTS.
WED...A STRONGER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH EAST AND OFF THE
CAROLINA COAST AND PRODUCE BREEZY ONSHORE FLOW AT THE COAST. MOS
POPS HAVE INCREASED ALG THE COAST WITHIN THIS WIND SURGE SO HAVE
ADDED SMALL SHOWER CHANCES TO THE COAST SOUTH OF THE CAPE. THE 925
MB WINDS LOOK STRONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MODIFY THE COOL/DRY
AIRMASS INLAND AND BRING ANY SHOWERS INTO THE INTERIOR COUNTIES
BUT WILL LIMIT RAIN CHANCES TO THE COAST FOR NOW.
FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW QUITE A BIT OF MARINE STRATOCU
ACROSS THE AREA SO HAVE GONE CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS FOR SKY
CONDITION. NONETHELESS...TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO SEASONAL AVERAGES
IN THE LOW-MID 70S. ONSHORE FLOW WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN WED NIGHT
SO WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PATCHY FOG ESPECIALLY
OVER THE INTERIOR.
THU-MON...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO
FROM LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AND EXTEND ITS INFLUENCE ACROSS
THE FL PENINSULA. GFS SHOWS ANOTHER BACK DOOR FRONT PUSHING
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SAT WITH ONLY A WIND SHIFT TO SHOW FOR
IT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH SE AND OFF THE CAROLINA COAST
PRODUCING A QUICK RESUMPTION OF ONSHORE FLOW. WEATHER CONDITIONS
LOOK QUITE PLEASANT THROUGH THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND WITH VERY
LOW RAIN CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES A COUPLE/FEW DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION...
VFR CONDS EXPECTED. NE WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 12-15 KTS THIS
AFTERNOON AND MAY BE GUSTY AT TIMES...UP TO 20 KTS...AS A WEAK
BACK DOOR FRONT CROSSES THE AREA. CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AS
WELL OVER THE AREA LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT...HOWEVER CIGS SHOULD
REMAIN ABOVE MVFR LEVELS.
&&
.MARINE...
W/NW WINDS AT BUOY 41009 CONTINUE TO COME IN AROUND 20 KTS THIS
MORNING AND DESPITE AN EXPECTED SLIGHT REPRIEVE IN THIS MORE
ELEVATED FLOW LATER THIS MORNING...WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE
AGAIN BY THIS AFTERNOON AS A WEAK BACK DOOR FRONT CROSSES THE
WATERS. WILL THEREFORE GO STRAIGHT TO A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OVER
THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF THE VOLUSIA AND BREVARD COASTS WITH THIS
CWF ISSUANCE.
NW WINDS THIS MORNING WILL BECOME MORE NORTHEAST BEHIND THE WEAK
BACK DOOR FRONT AND REMAIN UP TO 15-20 KTS OFFSHORE INTO TONIGHT
WITH SEAS BUILDING TO 6-7 FT. SCA FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF THE
TREASURE COAST WILL GO INTO EFFECT LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
WED...EASTERLY WIND SURGE AROUND 20 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE WED AND
GRADUALLY DIMINISH WED NIGHT. WITH A RELATIVELY LONG FETCH...
SEAS ARE FCST TO BUILD TO 7 FT OFFSHORE DUE TO 5 SECOND WIND CHOP
AND 10-11 SECOND SWELL. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE INTO
WED NIGHT FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS AS SEAS WILL BE SLOW TO DECREASE
THOUGH THE WINDS WILL BE DIMINISHING BY THEN. THE ADVISORY MAY
NEED TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE SOME OF THE NEARSHORE WATERS BUT
FOR NOW WILL HIGHLIGHT CAUTION.
THU-SAT...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SETTLE SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH
FRI THEN WEAKEN SAT AS ANOTHER BACK DOOR FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OVER
THE OPEN ATLANTIC. WEAKENING ONSHORE FLOW WILL OCCUR THU AND
ESPECIALLY FRI AS THE RIDGE AXIS GETS CLOSER. THE WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO SHIFT OUT OF THE NORTH SAT DUE TO THE BACK DOOR
FRONT...WITH THE LATEST GFS/ECMWF SHOWING WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A SURGE IN NORTHEAST WINDS TODAY WILL HELP ELEVATE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA AND WILL KEEP RH VALUES ABOVE CRITICAL
LEVELS. HOWEVER COULD STILL SEE MIN RH VALUES AROUND 40% OVER THE
INTERIOR THIS AFTERNOON.
WED-SAT...ONSHORE WINDS WILL BOOST SURFACE DEW POINTS INTO THE
50S WED AND THU...SO MIN RH VALUES ARE FORECAST ABOVE 40 PERCENT.
