.DISCUSSION...

...FEW STRONG/ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED INTO THIS
EVENING...

CURRENT-TONIGHT...WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS CREPT INTO OUR NORTHERN
FORECAST ZONES. EARLY ONSET OF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE FROM THE
CAPE NORTHWARD HAS TRANSITIONED WINDS TO EAST OR NORTHEAST. WINDS
SOUTH OF THE CAPE WILL BECOME EAST OR SOUTHEAST BEHIND THE SEA
BREEZE. A LIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL KEEP WIND SPEEDS LIGHT
ALL AROUND OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE IN
NORTH BREVARD/VOLUSIA COUNTIES. SLOW MOVEMENT TO THE WEST IS
EXPECTED OF THESE CELLS AND THEY WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE OFF THE EAST
COAST INTO THE INTRACOASTAL/NEAR SHORE WATERS OF THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC. A FEW STRONGER CELLS ANCHORED ALONG THE SEA BREEZE WILL
MOVE SOUTHWARD. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION WILL BE LIKELY AS
THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE (MOVING VERY SLOWLY EASTWARD AT PRESENT)
MOVES INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA LATER TODAY AS WELL AS FROM SUBSEQUENT
MESOSCALE BOUNDARY/LAKE BREEZE INTERACTIONS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LAST
INTO THE EVENING AND EVENTUALLY BECOME MORE ISOLATED MID TO LATE
EVENING. MAIN THREATS IN PLAY REMAIN FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING...GUSTY DOWNBURST WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH...COIN SIZE
HAIL AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS CAUSING PONDING OF WATER...ESPECIALLY
IN PRONE LOCATIONS DUE TO THE SLOW NATURE OF THESE STORMS. DEEPER
MOISTURE (1.61 PWAT FROM 15Z KXMR SOUNDING)...MID-LEVEL IMPULSES AND
COOLER AIR ALOFT ALL PLAYING A PART IN THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.

...PREVIOUS EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

TUE-THU...BROAD TROUGHING ALOFT WILL PERSIST INTO LATE WEEK...WHICH
WILL KEEP LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SUPPRESSED SOUTH OF CENTRAL FLORIDA.
WHILE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WILL EXIST FOR AT LEAST SCT AFTN/EVENING
CONVECTION...SUBTLE H50 VORT LOBES PASSING OVHD SHOULD LEAD TO A LTL
HIGHER POPS (50-60) ON THAT DAY AREAWIDE. FLOW FLATTENS SLIGHTLY
WED-THU...WITH HIGHER POPS INDICATED ALONG THE EAST COAST (50 VS 40)
IN PROXIMITY TO LATE DAY SEA BREEZE. BY THU...DEEPEST MOISTURE IS
PROGGED TO GET PUSHED A BIT FARTHER SOUTH TOWARD LAKE OKEECHOBEE...
AHEAD OF WEAK COOL FRONT THAT SAGS INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA THU NIGHT.
POPS OVER THE SOUTHERN CWA WILL BE ABOUT 10 PCT HIGHER (40 VS 30).
MAV TEMPS LOOK LIKE THEY RUN ABOUT A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE CLIMO...
WHICH LOOKS FINE GIVEN THE SW FLOW REGIME. EARLY MAY MID LEVEL
ATMOSPHERIC TEMPS TYPICALLY FAVOR SOME STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE
STORMS.

FRI-MON...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WASHES OUT OVER SOUTH FL/STRAITS BY LATE
FRI AS ONSHORE FLOW TAKES HOLD AND FRESHENS SOME INTO THE WEEKEND.
EVEN WITH IMMEDIATE RETURN TO ONSHORE FLOW...MEAN DRYING INDICATED
FOR FRI-SAT DUE TO TRANSIENT MID LEVEL RIDGE WHICH BUILDS ALOFT.
POPS BOTH DAYS 20 OR LESS....TEMPTED TO GO WITH JUST LOW TOPPED
SHOWERS (CONFINED TO THE SOUTH FRI) BUT SINCE WERE GETTING TOWARD
LATE MAY KEPT TS IN FCST. INCREASING MOISTURE/POPS INDICATED FOR
SUN-MON AS NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES TOWARD THE SERN CONUS.

&&

.AVIATION...PREVAILING VFR OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION. EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE HAS FORMED AS OF VERY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON BECOMING
NOTICEABLE FIRST ACROSS THE VOLUSIA/NORTH BREVARD COASTS. WINDS HAVE
BECOME E/ENE BEHIND IT HERE. FURTHER SOUTH WEAK OFFSHORE WINDS WILL
BECOME E/ESE AS THE SEA BREEZE DEVELOPS AND MOVES ONSHORE. SCT
SHRA/TSRA WILL RESULT FROM DEEPER MOISTURE...PVA ALOFT AND BOUNDARY
COLLISIONS INTO THE EVENING. RISKS TO AVIATION INCLUDE FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...COIN SIZE HAIL...HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND GUSTY DOWNBURST
WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 KTS. ACTIVITY WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME ISOLATED
THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT. LCL LOW (STRATUS) CLOUDS/PATCHY GROUND FOG
CANNOT BE RULED OUT TOWARDS SUNRISE TUE MORNING. ABOVE NORMAL
CONVECTION CHANCES WILL CONTINUE AGAIN ON TUE WITH SIMILAR THREATS.

&&

.MARINE...AFTN MON-TUE...SURFACE BOUNDARY LINGERING OVER THE AREA
WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SCATTERED LIGHTNING STORMS ACROSS INLAND
LAKES...INTRACOASTAL WATERWAYS AND NEAR SHORE/OFFSHORE MARINE ZONES.
CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR A FEW STRONG/ISOLD SVR CELLS WITH WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 35 KTS...COIN SIZE HAIL...CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING AND
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS. CELLS WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST AT LESS THAN 10
KTS WITH MOST FAVORABLE LOCATION FROM THE CAPE NORTHWARD. WITH SUCH
A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT/VARIABLE AT
TIMES...THOUGH ARE FORECAST TO BE EAST/NORTHEAST CAPE NORTHWARD AND
EAST/SOUTHEAST SOUTHWARD. THIS EVENING WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BECOME
SE/S AND EVENTUALLY SW LATE OVERNIGHT TOWARDS DAYBREAK. ON
TUE...INITIAL SW WINDS LESS THAN 10 KTS WILL BACK TO S/SE NEAR THE
COAST DUE TO EAST COAST SEA BREEZE FORMATION AND BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN
SLIGHTLY. SEAS DUE TO AN INCOMING SWELL FORECAST TO BUILD TO 3-4 FT
NEAR SHORE/3-5 FT OFFSHORE THRU THE PERIOD. ANOTHER ROUND OF
OFFSHORE MOVING SHOWERS/STORMS FORECAST ON TUE WITH SIMILAR THREATS
AS THE PAST DAY.

WED-FRI...NOT A WHOLE LOW OF WIND CHOP INDICATED GIVEN THE PROXIMITY
OF THE LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS TO THE SOUTH. WAVE MODEL GUIDANCE DOES
SHOW SOME SWELL COMPONENT KEEPING SEAS A FOOT OR TWO HIGHER THAN THEY
NORMAL WOULD BE WITH THIS KIND OF WIND REGIME. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THU WITH AN ONSHORE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE NEAR THE
IMMEDIATE COAST...MAINLY SOUTH. GIVEN THE PREVAILING WESTERLY
STEERING FLOW...THE MAIN MARINE CONCERN FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL
BE OFFSHORE MOVING THUNDERSTORMS. DEVELOPING ONSHORE FLOW STARTING
THU NIGHT WILL LEAD TO A SLIGHT SURGE IN ENE-EAST WINDS AND SEAS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...REMAINDER OF TODAY-TONIGHT...A WEAK FRONTAL TROUGH
HAS SETTLED IN OVER THE AREA (NORTH) AND WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR
SHOWERS/STORMS. SEA BREEZES/MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS THROUGH
THIS EVENING WILL ALSO HELP INITIATE NEW CELL GROWTH. A FEW
LIGHTNING STORMS MAY SPARK ADDITIONAL WILDFIRES AND WILL ALSO BE
CAPABLE OF GUSTY DOWNBURST WINDS TO AROUND 50 MPH. CELL MOVEMENT
SHOULD BE OUT OF THE WEST AT LESS THAN 10 MPH. OCCASIONALLY CELLS
WILL ZIPPER SOUTHWARD ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. WITH THE WEAK
OVERALL PRESSURE GRADIENT THE DISPERSION CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN
RATHER POOR. LVORI'S WILL BE RATHER HIGH WITH THE LIGHT WINDS AND
MOISTURE NEAR THE SURFACE.

TUE...CONTINUED DEEPER MOISTURE AND BOUNDARY COLLISIONS WILL AGAIN
CREATE SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS ACROSS THE AREA...ESPECIALLY DURING
THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. AGAIN...LIGHTNING IGNITIONS/GUSTY STORM
OUTFLOWS WILL BE MAIN FIRE WEATHER CONCERN.

WED ONWARD...NO RH/WIND ISSUES...HOWEVER LTG IGNITIONS WILL BE MAIN
FIRE WX CONCERN.

1115 AM EDT MON MAY 7 2012

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS DRAPED ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA AND
WILL BECOME STATIONARY THIS AFTERNOON.  MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THE
FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH SEA AND LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES TO ACT AS
FOCI FOR AFTERNOON LIGHTNING STORMS.  THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES EXIST
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I 4 CORRIDOR BUT MAY EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO
OSCEOLA COUNTY LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING WITH A SEA
BREEZE COLLISION.  STORM MOTION WILL BE GENERALLY TOWARD THE EAST
BUT MAY BE SLOW AND ERRATIC ALONG BOUNDARIES.  THE PRIMARY THREAT
FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE FREQUENT CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING...
STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS AND HAIL.  ONE OR TWO STORMS MAY BECOME
SEVERE CONTAINING DAMAGING WINDS NEAR 60 MPH AND LARGE HAIL.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AREA WIDE THIS AFTERNOON AND
PUSH EAST-NORTHEAST AROUND 10 MPH THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. THE
STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND STRONG
WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 KNOTS AS THEY PUSH OFFSHORE INCLUDING THE INLAND
LAKES.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
WEATHER AND OCEAN CONDITIONS WILL PRODUCE AN ELEVATED THREAT FOR RIP
CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA TODAY. CHECK WITH
LIFEGUARDS ABOUT OCEAN HAZARDS WHEN ARRIVING AT THE BEACH. SWIM ONLY
WHERE THERE IS A LIFEGUARD ON DUTY.

.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
THERE IS A HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL FIRE DANGER OVER MOST OF THE REGION
TODAY. THE THREAT WILL BE FURTHER ELEVATED TODAY AS SCATTERED
LIGHTNING STORMS ARE EXPECTED. BRUSH FIRES CAN START EASILY FROM
MOST CAUSES. UNATTENDED FIRES ARE LIKELY TO ESCAPE IN DRY FUELS.
FIRES MAY START RAPIDLY AND SHORT DISTANCE SPREADING OF EMBERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE. OUTDOOR BURNING MAY BE PROHIBITED IN YOUR AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STORMS ARE FORECAST THROUGH
MIDWEEK. THESE STORMS WILL AFFECT BOATERS AS THEY CROSS THE
INTRACOASTAL WATERS AND ATLANTIC DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
A FEW STORMS MAY CONTAIN STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS...SMALL
HAIL...AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
IF NEEDED.
