.DISCUSSION...

...INCREASING CHANCE FOR STORMS LATE TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT...

...TURNING COOLER STARTING LATE FRIDAY...

CURRENT-TONIGHT...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS LOCATED OVER THE NORTH BAHAMAS
THE FLORIDA STRAITS AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO. LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING EAST ACROSS THE NORTH GULF OF MEXICO AND THE
GULF COAST. LATEST RUC 500MB ANALYSIS PLACES STRONG NEGATIVE
VORTICITY ADVECTION (NVA) AHEAD OF THE COMPLEX AND STRONGER POSITIVE
VORTICITY ADVECTION (PVA) BEHIND THE SYSTEM. FLAT FLOW ALOFT WILL
ALLOW THE UPPER LOW TO MOVE QUICKLY EAST AND OVER NORTHERN AREAS
THIS EVENING. MORNING SOUNDINGS INDICATED COLD 500MB
TEMPERATURES...-12C TO -14C RANGE...MOVING OVERHEAD THE SAME TIME
THE VORTICITY MAXES CROSS OVERTOP NORTHERN COUNTIES. ALTHOUGH THE
LATEST WEATHER ROUNDUP WAS INDICATING DEW POINTS MAINLY IN THE 50S
IF ANY CELL DOES MANAGE TO DEVELOP ANY VERTICAL EXTENT IT WILL BE
QUICKLY PUNCHING INTO EVEN DRIER AIR AND EVENTUALLY THE COLD
TEMPERATURES ALOFT. IT COULD BE JUST A COUPLE OF STORMS THAT HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE STRONG DOWNBURSTS
AND HAIL. ONCE THE SUN SETS AND THE ATMOSPHERE STABILIZES AND
DECOUPLES LATE EVENING... WINDS SHOULD DROP OFF TO THE 5 TO 10 MPH
RANGE. ANY FOG WILL BE SHALLOW AND MOSTLY LIKELY IN LOW SPOTS OR
LOCALLY COOLER AND LESS WIND SITES SUCH AS AN AIRFIELD. LOWS IN THE
60S TO AROUND 70 FORT PIERCE SOUTH.

THU-THU NIGHT...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
STATES AND NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THE SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE WELL SOUTH OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. RESULTING SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WINDFLOW WILL FEED MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHEAST GULF AND
FLORIDA STRAITS NORTHWARD OVER THE PENINSULA AND INCREASE THE DEPTH
OF MOISTURE. COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT...AGAIN IN THE -12C TO -14C
RANGE...AND WEAK MID LEVEL DISTURBANCES CROSSING OVERHEAD LATE
OVERNIGHT AND DURING THE MORNING MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCING FOR
ISOLATED SHOWERS IN THE MORNING AND SCATTERED AFTERNOON STORMS IN
THE NORTH HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AND ISOLATED OVER THE SOUTHERN
HALF. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S EXCEPT WESTERN PORTIONS OF OSCEOLA AND
OKEECHOBEE ALONG THE KISSIMMEE RIVER FROM LAKE KISSIMMEE SOUTH.

STORM CHANCES CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM N-S FROM AROUND SUNSET INTO
THE MID-LATE EVENING AS HIGHER BAND OF PWATS OVERSPREAD MOST OF THE
CWA AHEAD OF THE LATER-ARRIVING MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH AND
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. INTERESTING TO SEE THAT THE LATE AFTERNOON SPC DAY
2 OUTLOOK PLACED THE NRN 2/3 CWA IN "SLGT RISK". POTENTIAL LOOKS LIKE
IT SHOULD BE CENTERED AROUND 00Z...2-3 HRS EITHER SIDE. CLOUD COVER
FROM UPSTREAM BLOWOFF AND/OR LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING COULD BE A
LIMITING FACTOR IN STORM STRENGTH...REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

FRI-SAT...SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST ON FRI AND
AN EARLY APRIL COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE INTO THE AREA LATE. WILL HOLD
ONTO A CHANCE OF STORMS FRI AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS MAX TEMPS WILL
CONTINUE WARM IN THE MID-UPPER 80S. MOS POPS REALLY DROP OFF FRI
NIGHT AS GUSTY NORTH/NORTHEAST WINDS BRING IN MUCH DRIER AIR. WILL
NOT CARRY ANY POPS OVER LAND BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW
LIGHT SHOWERS ESPECIALLY ALONG THE TREASURE COAST FRI NIGHT INTO SAT
MORNING. THE LATEST MOS INDICATES MAX TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL FOR
SAT WITH READINGS MAINLY IN THE 70S.

SUN-WED (PREV)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS WILL SLIDE INTO
THE AREA SUN WHILE WEAKENING. THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN FURTHER MON AS
IT SHIFTS INTO SOUTH FLORIDA. NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPS
ARE INDICATED SUN/MON. THE GFS INDICATES A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING
DOWN FROM THE NORTH AGAIN ON TUE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. SINCE DEW
POINTS ARE ONLY FORECAST TO BE IN THE 50S AND FRONTAL CONVERGENCE
LOOKS WEAK...WILL NOT INTRODUCE POPS YET. COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS
ARE INDICATED BEHIND THE FRONT ON WED AS AMPLIFYING FLOW ALOFT
DRIVES SINGLE DIGIT 850 MB TEMPS INTO THE AREA AGAIN.

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED MVFR TIL 02Z FROM AROUND LAKE GEORGE TO DAYTONA
BEACH THEN SOUTH ALONG THE COAST TO JUPITER INLET AND INDIANTOWN.
AFTER 02Z VFR WITH TEMPO MVFR MIST 09Z-12Z.

&&

.MARINE...CURRENT-THIS EVENING...THE TWO NOAA BUOYS WERE RECORDING
SPREAD OF SOUTHWEST WIND...AROUND 5 KNOTS AT BUOY 009 AND AROUND 15
KNOTS AT BUOY 010 AND SEAS RANGING FROM 3 TO 5 5 FEET WITH A 2 TO 3
FOOT LONG PERIOD SWELL. THE TWO SCRIPPS BUOYS...4 AND 6 NM OFF THE
BEACH... WERE RECORDING 2 FOOT LONG PERIOD SEAS. WINDS SHOULD TAKE
ON A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT NEAR THE COAST FROM AROUND FORT PIERCE
INLET SOUTH AS A SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION STRUGGLES TO SET UP BUT DOES
NOT SHIFT PAST SOUTH SOUTHEAST AND ONLY UNTIL MID EVENING IF THAT.

OVERNIGHT AND THU...AFTER MID EVENING IT SHOULD BE SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE
AXIS REMAINING WELL SOUTH OF THE MARINE FORECAST AREA. WINDS WILL
INCREASE LATE THU AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO
THE SOUTH AND THE ADVANCING FRONT STRENGTHENS. CHANCE FOR STORMS
INCREASES FROM LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING AND CONTINUES N-S INTO FRI.
THE MODELS SHOW INCREASING NORTH WINDS LATE FRI AS A COLD FRONT
DROPS DOWN THE PENINSULA...WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
LOOKING TO BE A GOOD BET BY FRI EVENING.

THIS WEEKEND...BREEZY NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED SAT WITH ADVISORY
CONDITIONS CONTINUING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN SUNDAY WITH RIDGE
AXIS SETTLING CLOSER TO THE WATERS SO WINDS WILL DIMINISH...BUT SEAS
WILL BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER THU THE
DEEPENING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND SHOULD TRANSPORT HIGHER DEW POINT
AIR INTO EAST CENTRAL AND KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ABOVE
CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. TRANSPORT WINDS HOVER AROUND 15 MPH. SLIGHT
DRYING SHOULD OCCUR ON FRI AS A FRONT DROPS DOWN FROM THE NORTH BUT
NO LOW RH IS FORECAST. NORTH WINDS COULD BECOME GUSTY LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NORTH COAST.

THIS WEEKEND...WINDS WILL VEER QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST ON SAT. IT
SHOULD BE BREEZY ALONG THE COAST. MIN RH VALUES 35-40 PERCENT ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTH INTERIOR. ONSHORE FLOW WILL DIMINISH SUN
AND MIN RH VALUES AROUND 35 PERCENT SHOULD OCCUR ACROSS THE NORTH
INTERIOR.

135 PM EDT WED APR 4 2012

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL OCCUR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING OVER EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA...WHICH SHOULD PREVENT THE
EAST COAST SEA BREEZE FROM FORMING. HOWEVER IF IT DOES FORM IT WILL
DO SO LATE AND REMAIN PINNED ALONG THE IMMEDIATE TREASURE COAST.
INTENSE SURFACE HEATING COULD BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS IN
THAT AREA...ALTHOUGH SURFACE BASED AND DEEP LAYER MOISTURE LEVEL
WILL BE LOW AND LIKELY INHIBIT STORMS FROM FORMING.

IF AN ISOLATED STORM DOES FORM...COOL AND DRY AIR ALOFT WILL LEAD
TO STRONG WIND GUSTS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HAIL.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
AN INCREASING LONG PERIOD OCEAN SWELL WILL BRING A MODERATE RIP
CURRENT RISK TO AREA BEACHES TODAY. CHECK CONDITIONS WITH LOCAL
BEACH PATROLS WHEN ARRIVING AT THE BEACH. ALWAYS SWIM WITHIN SIGHT
OF A LIFEGUARD AND NEVER SWIM ALONE.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS EXISTS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
IN THE EVENING OVER EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. MOVEMENT WILL BE TOWARD
THE EAST AROUND 15 MPH AND A FEW STORMS MAY ALSO AFFECT THE
INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS LATE IN THE DAY INTO
EARLY EVENING. GUSTY WINDS TO 35 KNOTS...SMALL HAIL AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING STRIKES WOULD BE THE MAIN HAZARDS.

.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR LIGHTNING STORMS
WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE THREAT FOR WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
A LOW PRESSURE CENTER AND UPPER TROUGHING WILL CONTINUE A CHANCE FOR
STORMS BOTH THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE

AN ELEVATED RIP CURRENT RISK MAY LAST INTO EARLY FRIDAY. WINDS AND
SEAS WILL INCREASE POST-FRONTAL LATE FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED TODAY.

...A SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS
BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH AND SMALL HAIL OVER CENTRAL VOLUSIA COUNTY...

* UNTIL 645 PM EDT.

AT 603 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
STORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS AND SMALL HAIL OVER DAYTONA
INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY...MOVING EAST AT 15 MPH.

LOCATIONS IN THE PATH OF THE STORM WHICH MAY EXPERIENCE STRONG WINDS
AND SMALL HAIL INCLUDE DAYTONA BEACH INTL SPEEDWAY AND WILBUR BY THE
SEA.

THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES AND
GUSTY WINDS OF 45 TO 55 MPH...WHICH CAN CAUSE UNSECURED OBJECTS TO
BLOW AROUND...SNAP TREE LIMBS OR CAUSE POWER OUTAGES. HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL TEMPORARILY REDUCE VISIBILITY. SEEK SHELTER INDOORS UNTIL THE
STORM PASSES.
