AN OUTER BAND FROM T.S. DEBBY APPROACHING SW FLA COAST MAINLY AND
INTO THE GULF WATERS OFF OF COLLIER AND MAINLAND MONROE COUNTIES.
IR SATELLITE LOOPS INDICATED WARMING TOPS EARLIER HAVE NOW BEGUN TO
COOL AGAIN. ALL OF THIS OCCURRING ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF DEBBY
AND THIS ACTIVITY MAY PERSIST INTO THIS AFTERNOON SPREADING FROM SW

OF THE CWA. HAVE UPPED POPS A BIT ESPECIALLY LAKE OKEE REGION AND W.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 AM EDT MON JUN 25 2012/

DISCUSSION...MODELS FINALLY COMING MORE IN LINE TO THE FUTURE
EVOLUTION OF T.S. DEBBY BUT HAVE LEANED CLOSER TO THE GFS AND NAM
SOLUTIONS AS CURRENT CONDITIONS MATCH THEIR PARAMETERS CLOSER
ESPECIALLY WITH THE WIND SPEEDS FROM THE NAM. EVEN THE ECMWF HAS
BEGUN TO COME MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS SOLUTION. THE STRONGEST
CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BE WELL TO THE EAST OF THE CENTER OF DEBBY
WHICH PLACES THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL FL WITH
S FL IN A TEMPORARY LULL. STILL, CONVECTION IS CURRENTLY FIRING IN
THE YUCATAN CHANNEL AND THIS WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE NE. HOWEVER,
THE NAM AND THE SHORT TERM MODELS HRRR AND WRF DO NOT SHOW MUCH
IN THE WAY OF CONVECTION TODAY BOTH SHOWING MOST OF THE BANDING
JUST NORTH OF OUR CWA. IN FACT THE MET GUIDANCE HAS VIRTUALLY NO
CHANCES FOR RAIN ALONG THE E CST. THAT MAY BE A LITTLE TOO
OPTIMISTIC. SO BASED ON ALL OF THIS, PLAN TO LOWER POPS BY A
CATEGORY BUT NO LOWER GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF DEBBY. THE OTHER
FACTOR IS THAT THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE SYSTEM STILL PLACES S FL
IN A QUADRANT FAVORABLE FOR STRONG CONVECTION SO ANY STORMS THAT
DO DEVELOP COULD BECOME QUITE ACTIVE AND POSSIBLY EVEN SEVERE
ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION INCLUDING THE NAPLES
AREA TO AROUND PALM BEACH COUNTY. THE OTHER BIG IMPACT THAT THIS
SYSTEM WILL HAVE NOW ON S FL IS THAT IT IS NOW FCST TO REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF BEFORE MOVING INLAND IN
THE BIG BEND AREA SO THIS WILL MAINTAIN A PROLONGED S TO SW WIND
FLOW OVER THE REGION. THAT BEING SAID AND THE FACT THAT TIDES
ALONG THE GULF COAST ARE RUNNING ABOUT A FOOT ABOVE NORMAL, THIS
WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE COAST
OF COLLIER COUNTY MAINLY SOUTH OF THE NAPLES AREA ALONG WITH AN
INCREASED RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS. A COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT HAS BEEN
ISSUED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. AS DEBBY CHURNS OVER THE NORTHEAST
GULF THROUGH TUESDAY, A CONTINUED FLOW OF TROPICAL AIR WILL
MAINTAIN ITS GRIP ON S FL BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE CONTINUOUS
BANDING WILL BE FARTHER TO OUR NORTH AND POPS WILL BE IN THE SCT
RANGE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE NAM AND GFS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT
DEBBY WILL EVENTUALLY MERGE WITH AN UPSTREAM MID LEVEL TROUGH AND
BEGIN TO LIFT TO THE NE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK WITH DRIER AIR
ALOFT MOVING OVER S FL AND GRIDS WILL REFLECT THIS TREND.

MARINE...A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND HAS NOW DEVELOPED OVER THE
MARINE AREAS AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY.
SPEEDS WILL BE IN THE RANGE OF 20-25 KT OVER THE GULF WATERS WITH
OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KT. WIND SPEEDS WILL BE AROUND 20 KT
IN ALL OTHER S FL WATERS SO SCA WILL CONTINUE FOR ALL WATERS.
CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE BY WEDNESDAY.

FIRE WEATHER...NO PROBLEMS WITH PLENTY OF AMPLE TROPICAL MOISTURE.
