.DISCUSSION...

...POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TODAY...
...TURNING DRY AND MUCH COOLER THURSDAY...REMAINING WINDY...

CURRENT-THIS AFTERNOON...THE VERTICAL WIND PROFILER(S) AT/AROUND THE
SPACE CENTER/TAMPA RADAR VAD WINDS SHOWING THE WIND STARTING TO VEER
THROUGH THE LOWEST LEVELS AND BECOME "UNIDIRECTIONAL". LATEST RAP40
VORTICITY ANALYSIS SHOWING THAT THE STRONG VORTICITY OFF VOLUSIA AND
FLAGLER COUNTIES AND MOVING QUICKLY NORTHEAST. CENTRAL FLORIDA UNDER
A WEAKER ...AROUND 10 UNITS... WHICH WAS ALSO LIFTING QUICKLY TO THE
NORTHEAST. WFO RADARS TRENDS STILL WARRANT AT LEAST A SIGNIFICANT
WEATHER ADVISORY AS THE STRONGER CELLS TO THE WEST MOVE INTO
LAKE...ORANGE AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES EAST THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.
VISIBLE SATELLITE TREND SHOWING MOSTLY CLOUDY TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
WEST OF A FLAGLER BEACH TO TAMPA LINE MOVING IN BEHIND THE SOLID
CLOUD COVERAGE TO THE SOUTH.

WILL WATCH RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS FOR ANOTHER HALF HOUR-HOUR
BEFORE ISSUING UPDATES TO A LATE MORNING UPDATE WHICH SHOULD LOOK AT THE
AREA DAYTONA-ORLANDO NORTH.

.AVIATION...MVFR TEMPO IFR CEILINGS WITH G25KT+ KDAB-KSFB-KISM TIL
NOON/17Z THEN PREVAILING MVFR CEILINGS/VIS WITH VCSH THROUGH THE
AFTN POST "SQUALL LINE". MVFR TEMPO IFR IN/VC SHOWERS SOUTH OF KDAB-
KMCO-KISM FM 15Z-20Z.

.MARINE... BUOY 009 AT 20NM OFF THE BEACH REPORTING SOUTH WINDS 23-
27 KNOTS BUT ONLY 5 FOOT SEAS. THE TWO SCRIPPS BUOYS AT 4 AND 6NM OFF
THE BEACH WERE RECORDING 4 FOOT SEAS EACH. BIG DIFFERENCE AT BUOY
010 AT 120NM OFFSHORE WITH 9 FOOT SEAS. WINDS SHOULD 25 KNOTS PLUS
WITH SOME GUSTS AROUND GALE FORCE ONCE THE LINE OF STORMS ROLLS
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS AFD ISSUED 420 AM EST WED FEB 24 2016

 TODAY...MID LEVEL CUT-OFF LOW OVER WESTERN TN AT
SUNRISE WILL EJECT NE AND REACH THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES LATE
TONIGHT. ASSOCD SFC LOW WILL FOLLOW SIMILAR TRACK...DEEPENING AS IT
DOES SO. WHILE MID/UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS AND SFC LOW WILL REMAIN WELL
NW OF THE AREA...STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OF 45-50 KNOTS WILL CROSS
CENTRAL FL AT MID DAY. MODELS SHOWS A VEERING WIND PROFILE
SUPPORTING HELICITIES AROUND 300 M2/S2 SUFFICIENT FOR ROTATING
STORMS THROUGH MID DAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN 1/3 OF FA. THEN LOW LEVEL
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL THIS AFTN WHICH
SHOULD REDUCE THE TORNADO THREAT ACROSS SOUTHERN FA. BUT ISOLATED
DAMAGING WIND THREAT WILL EXIST ACROSS ALL OF EC FL.

THE PRIMARY CHANGE TO THE FCST IS A FASTER ARRIVAL OF MAIN BAND
OF STORMS FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. ARRIVAL COULD BE AS EARLY AS
9 AM IN LAKE COUNTY...10AM TO NOON ALONG THE I 4 CORRIDOR...
ADVANCING TO BREVARD COUNTY 11AM-1 PM...THEN PUSHING ACROSS
OKEECHOBEE AND TREASURE COAST 2PM-5PM. A WATCH BOX IS LIKELY
ACROSS NORTHERN COUNTIES LATER THIS MORNING WHERE GREATEST THREAT
FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND/TORNADO THREAT EXISTS.

SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BECOME STRONG AND GUSTY SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE
AND BECOME SOUTHWEST WITH TIME...SUSTAINED WINDS 20 TO 25 MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH OUTSIDE OF STORMS. HAVE RAISED A WIND ADVISORY
FOR ALL COUNTIES. INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND EARLIER ONSET OF PRECIP
WILL LIMIT HIGHS TO THE UPPER 70S IN LAKE COUNTY BUT ELSEWHERE
TEMPS SHOULD REACH 80...WITH WARMEST TEMPS ALONG THE TREASURE COAST
IN THE MID 80S. RECORDS THOUGH ARE OUT OF REACH. STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING WITH COLD ADVECTION
DROPPING TEMPS INT0 THE 50S BY DAYBREAK THU...UPPER 40S LAKE AND
VOLUSIA COUNTIES.

THU-THU NIGHT...POST FRONTAL CONDITIONS WITH BOTH SURFACE COLD FRONT
AND UPPER TROUGH WELL EAST OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST WITH
BREEZY/GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS...LIKELY LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.
SKY CONDITIONS BECOMING MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES A FEW TO
SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR HIGHS. OVERNIGHT LOWS MUCH COOLER
WITH 40S AREAWIDE...POSSIBLE U30S IN NORMALLY COLDER LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

FRI-WED...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE GULF COAST STATES WILL
SLOWLY TRANSLATE EASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN ATLC THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
EXPECT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH CONTINUED COOLER TEMPERATURES
REMAINING BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES FRI-SUN...THEN NEAR NORMAL TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE MON-WED. HIGH TEMPERATURES FRI-SAT IN THE 60S...U60S-
L70S ON SUN...THEN M70S ON MON...U70S TUE-WED. LOWS MAINLY IN THE
40S SAT-SUN MORNINGS...U40S-50S MON...50S TUE-WED. NWRLY/NRLY WINDS
ON FRI-SAT WILL VEER ONSHORE/LIGHT ON SUN-TUE...CONTINUING THE
ONSHORE COMPONENT ON WED BUT WITH A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT
WITH DEVELOPMENT/APPROACH OF THE NEXT POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
SYSTEM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/WESTERN GULF COAST STATES. THE 00Z
GFS/ECMWF DIFFER WITH SPEED/PLACEMENT OF SURFACE/UPPER FEATURES OF
THIS NEXT SYSTEM AND PRESENTLY THE ECMWF IS A BIT QUICKER.

&&

.AVIATION...
PRIMARY CONCERN THRU 14Z IS NON CONVECTIVE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
DEVELOPING AT ALL TERMINALS. GUIDANCE INDICATES SOUTH WINDS
30 TO 40 KNOTS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE DEVELOPING EARLY THIS
MORNING...WITH STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED OVER OUR NORTHERN AND
INTERIOR TERMINALS. DAYTIME HEATING WILL ALLOW THESE STRONGER
WINDS TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE...BECOMING STRONG AND GUSTY
AFTER 14Z. BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST...BRINGING TEMPO IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS
WITH GUSTY WINDS UP TO 45 KNOTS AS IT SWEEPS THROUGH EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA FROM 14Z-17Z ACROSS NORTHERN TERMINALS
(MCO-TIX NORTH) AND 18Z-22Z SOUTH.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...STRONG S/SW FLOW IN ADVANCE OF COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT TO
WEST BEHIND FRONT DURING THE EVENING. SPEEDS INCREASING 20 TO 25
KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON OFFSHORE AND CONTINUING TONIGHT WITH FREQUENT
GUSTS TO GALE FORCE. SO HAVE RAISED A GALE WARNING FOR THE OFFSHORE
WATERS OF VOLUSIA AND BREVARD COUNTIES. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL
BE IN EFFECT FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS. INITIAL SEAS 3-5 FT NEARSHORE
AND 5-7 FT OFFSHORE WILL BUILD 7-9 FT OFFSHORE THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT.
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
WATERS FROM LATE MORNING NORTH OF THE CAPE TO EARLY EVENING FAR SOUTH.

THU-THU NIGHT...WNW/NW WINDS WITH SOLID SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS CONTINUING FOR BOTH WINDS/SEAS. OCNL GUSTS TO GALE FORCE
OFFSHORE A POSSIBILITY. INITIAL SEAS 6-9 FT OFFSHORE/4-6 FT NEAR
SHORE WILL SUBSIDE TO 3-5 FT NEAR SHORE AND 5-7 FT OFFSHORE/GULF
STREAM BY DAYBREAK FRI MORNING.

FRI-SUN...WINDS/SEAS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE/SUBSIDE INTO THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE GOMEX. NWRLY
WINDS FRI-SAT WILL VEER NERLY TO ERLY DURING THE DAY ON SUN. WIND
SPEEDS 15-20 KTS EARLY ON FRI WILL DECREASE TO 10-15 KTS FRI NIGHT
REMAINING AROUND THESE SPEEDS THRU SAT NIGHT...THEN DECREASING
FURTHER TO AOB 10 KTS ON SUN WITH A WEAKER PGRAD SETTLING INTO THE
AREA. SEAS CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE TO 2-4 FT FRI OVERNIGHT...REMAINING
NEAR THESE VALUES THRU THE WEEKEND.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THU-FRI...VERY DRY POST FRONTAL AIRMASS WILL ALLOW AFTN MIN RH
VALUES TO FALL INTO THE U20S-30S AREAWIDE. GUSTY W/WNW 20 FT WINDS
ON THU DECREASING INTO FRI. DISPERSION SHOULD BE VG-EX.

SAT-SUN...CONTINUED DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH MIN RH VALUES IN THE
30S AGAIN FOR SAT...THEN M-U30S WELL INTO THE INTERIOR ON SUN AND M-
U40S ALONG THE COAST AS WINDS FINALLY VEER TO NE/E BRINGING A LITTLE
MOISTURE BACK INTO THE AREA. WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES INTO THE AREA WITH A WEAKER PRESSURE GRADIENT.
