.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT...TROPICAL STORM "DEBBY" REMAINS STALLED OVER THE NERN GOMEX
THIS MORNING. MULTISPECTRAL IR IMAGERY SHOWS BOTH THE STRUCTURAL AND
CONVECTIVE CHARACTER OF THE T.S. LOOKING MORE AND MORE DEGRADED WITH
TIME...THOUGH THE CONVECTIVE PLUME N-E OF THE CENTER CONTINUES TO
PRODUCE PROLIFIC RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE ERN PANHANDLE/AND PARTS
OF PENINSULAR NORTH FL. LOCALLY...MULTILAYERED BKN-OVC CLOUD COVER
DOMINATES ECFL WITH OCCASIONAL WEAK/SPOTTY SHOWER BANDS MOVING
QUICKLY NE THROUGH PARTS OF THE CWA.

TODAY/TONIGHT..."DEBBY" NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE MUCH...JUST A LUMBERING
EASTWARD DRIFT. GIVEN IT'S Q-STATIONARY STATUS OVER WATER THAT IS
THOROUGHLY UPWELLED...DON'T EXPECT A MUCH DIFFERENT WIND/MOISTURE
REGIME OVER THE NEXT H24 WITH OCCASIONAL SHOWER BANDS...A LITTLE
HIGHER CHANCE FOR RAIN TOWARD THE NORTH/WEST. HAVE GONE WITH 80/70
N/S SPLIT TODAY...60 AREAWIDE TONIGHT WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
TS.

WED-THU...TOUGH FORECAST DUE TO WIND FIELDS DIFFERING BETWEEN THE
LARGER SCALE MODELS AND TROPICAL STORM DEBBY'S MOVEMENT. 00Z GFS
PLACED T.S. DEBBY MORE SOUTH AND MUCH STRONGER WINDS THAN THE ECMWF.
EVENTUALLY PUT MORE WEIGHT ON THE ECMWF WINDS AND BACKED THEM TO THE
SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST TO ACCOMMODATE NHC TRACK OF T.S. DEBBY ACROSS
NORTHERN FLORIDA. THE SOUTHERLY WIND PATTERN WILL KEEP PULLING GULF
AND CARIBBEAN MOISTURE UP THE PENINSULA KEEPING RAIN CHANCES HIGH.

FRI-MON...CURRENT FORECAST TRACK FOR T.S. DEBBY HAS IT MOVING ACROSS
NORTHERN FLORIDA JUST SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 10 INTO THE ATLANTIC FRI
THEN NORTHEAST INTO THE ATLANTIC AND AWAY FROM FLORIDA THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK. THIS PATH RESULTS IN A WEST WIND PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEKEND
THEN SHIFTING THROUGH THE SOUTH TO THE SOUTHEAST MON AS A SURFACE
RIDGE MOVES UP THE FLORIDA PENINSULA AND OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA. THE
WEST BACKING TO SOUTHEAST WIND PATTERN PULLS MOISTURE OVER CENTRAL
FLORIDA AND KEEP RAIN CHANCES HIGHER THAN THEIR CLIMO 30-40 PERCENT
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND 20 PERCENT FOR THE EVENING. THE WESTERLY
WIND PATTERN WILL ALSO TEND TO MAKE FOR A LATER START TO THE
CONVECTION...KEEP IT CONFINED TO THE EAST SIDE OF CENTRAL FLORIDA
AND LAST LONGER INTO THE EVENING.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR WITH INCREASING CHANCE FOR MVFR TO IFR VSBYS IN
SHOWER BANDS. SHOULD ANY VIGOROUS CONVECTIVE CELLS OR BANDS DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON...THEY WILL EASILY PRODUCE G35KT+ WHERE THEY TRACK
...ALTHOUGH CLOUDS AND OVERALL LACK OF HIGH INSTABILITY SHOULD LIMIT
THAT TO SOME DEGREE.

&&

.MARINE...

*NOTE TO USERS* NOAA DATA BUOY 41009 BROKE LOOSE FROM ITS MOORING ON
MONDAY JUNE 25TH AT APPROXIMATELY AT 2130Z (530 PM) AND IS CURRENTLY
DRIFTING SLOWLY NORTH. THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE BUOY CAN BE
ACCESSED ON THE NDBC WEB SITE AT:

     HTTP://WWW.NDBC.NOAA.GOV/NWS_SPECIAL/41009.TXT  (LOWERCASE)

CURRENTLY...SCA WIND/SEA CONDS ARE LIMITED TO THE OFFSHORE WATERS.
SINCE DEBBY ISN'T FORECAST TO APPRECIABLY MOVE OR CHANGE IN STRENGTH
THE NEXT H24...IT FOLLOWS THERE WON'T BE MUCH CHANGE IN CONDITIONS
OVER THE ATLC THROUGH TONIGHT. TENTATIVE PLAN IS TO LOWER NEAR SHORE
SCA TO A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT. MAY WIND UP EXTENDING THE OFFSHORE SCA
DEPENDING ON PENDING OUTPUT OF LOCAL WAVE MODEL.

WED-SUN...GENERALLY A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND REGIME DUE TO T.S.
DEBBY'S SLOW EASTWARD TRACK OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO AND
NORTHERN FLORIDA. STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD BE FROM AROUND CAPE
CANAVERAL NORTH DUE TO THE TIGHTER SOUTH TO NORTH PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN DEBBY AND HIGHER PRESSURES OVER THE CENTRAL BAHAMA ISLANDS.
