AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
321 PM EDT THU OCT 23 2014

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT-SAT NIGHT...SHORTWAVE ALOFT FINALLY LIFTS AWAY FROM
CENTRAL FLORIDA TONIGHT AND IS REPLACED BY RIDGING AND A DRIER
NORTHWEST FLOW. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
MIDWEST OHIO AND TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEYS RIDGES SOUTHEAST OVER
FLORIDA AND REMAINS OVER FLORIDA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
PERSISTENT NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS TRANSPORT A STABLE MARINE AIR
MASS INTO THE COASTAL AREAS OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. ANY PRECIP
FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS WOULD BE LIMITED TO MARTIN COUNTY AND THE
ADJOINING COASTAL WATERS THEN RAIN CHANCES DROP TO 10 PERCENT OR
LESS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. HIGHS LOW 80S. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S FROM AROUND DAYTONA...INTERSTATE 4 AND
WEST. LOWER 60S FROM AROUND ORLANDO SOUTH AND WEST OF INTERSTATE
95. MID 60S EAST OF INTERSTATE 95.

PREVIOUS EXTENDED ZONES DISCUSSION.

SUN-WED...DEEP LAYER RIDGING MOVES FROM THE GOMEX TO ACROSS THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA AND OUT INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC DURING THIS
TIME FRAME. LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW AT THE SURFACE DEVELOPS SUN WITH THE
ONSHORE FLOW DEEPENING INTO NEXT WEEK. LIGHT PRECIPITATION FROM THE
MARINE INFLUENCE MAY ENTER THE PICTURE LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE-WED.
GREATEST CHANCES FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION WOULD BE OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS AND ALONG THE COAST. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DIFFER BY AROUND
MID-WEEK WITH THE 12Z ECMWF FORECASTING A LOW OVER THE GULF WITH
DEEP MOISTURE BRINGING AN INCREASED CHANCE OF SOME HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA WED AFTERNOON/EVENING. HAVE ADDED CHANCE
POPS TO THIS DAY BUT WILL WAIT FOR FURTHER MODEL CONSISTENCY TO SEE
IF THIS SCENARIO PLAYS OUT. TEMPERATURES WITHIN A COUPLE DEGREES OF
CLIMO FOR THIS PERIOD.
