.DISCUSSION...

Tonight...

Tropical Depression Bonnie continues disrupt the lcl pgrad, leaving
much of the central/south peninsula under the influence of an H100-
H70 col. latest data from the KMLB/KTBW/KMFL 88D profilers show mean
winds up to 10kft are blo 10kts. Not surprisingly, inland progression
of the east/west coast sea breezes is at a snail's pace, as is
ongoing storm motion.

With such a sluggish WX pattern in place, fcst philosophy has
changed little from this mrng. Sufficient moisture in place for
convective dvlpmnt thru late aftn/early evng, RAP40 analysis
continues to measure PWATs btwn 1.50"-1.75" acrs the peninsula with
H100-H70 mean RH values btwn 70-80pct. Furthermore, H100-H70 mean
dew point depressions have decreased to 3C-5C along and S of the FL
Turnpike, suggesting a little higher coverage S of the Orlando
Metroplex this evng. Plenty of instability in place as well with H85-
H70 lapse rates btwn 6.0-6.5C/KM, cool aloft with H50 temps arnd
-9C.

Shra/tsra dvlpmnt will work its way inland along the sea breeze thru
the aftn, culminating in late aftn/early evng tsras as outflow
boundaries from existing convection pushes the east/west coast sea
breezes inland. Negligible H85-H50 steering flow will result in slow
storm motion and very heavy lcl rain, while the cool air aloft will
keep a small potential for strong downbursts. Convection and cloud
debris will dissipate/thin through late evening/overnight. Sfc
dewpoints in the U60s/L70s should keep min in temps on the same
order.

Tue-Thu...(Modified prev disc)
Residual mid-upper troughing across the southeast U.S., Florida,
Bahamas and the adjacent Atlantic will gradually lift out, replaced
by weak and flat ridging aloft through midweek. Position of the
ridge axis will drift from the S half of the peninsula into the N
half, while at the surface, the low level ridge axis near Lake
Okeechobee Tuesday morning will slowly lift northward into the
southern (Wed) and then central (Thu) CWA. While mean moisture
remains sufficient for diurnal convection, the northward shift in
the ridging pattern should gradually shift higher rain chances
inland and toward the western peninsula. With weak steering currents
in place, convection should linger into the early evening each day
before ending. Temperatures look to average near to a degree or two
above climo through the period.

Fri-Mon...(Prev Disc)
Local pattern remains undergoes some slight changes from late week
through the weekend into Monday. The mid level low over Texas drifts
very slowly eastward, opening up into a trough over the NW GOMEX.
The mid level ridge across Florida will weaken as northern stream
short wave energy carved out a large broad trough from the Great
Lakes across the NE quadrant of the CONUS. This slight pattern
change will dislodge the low level ridge over Florida, and nudge it
eastward into the Atlantic. The prevailing low level flow over FL
will veer to S-SW, strengthening a bit in the process. This in turn
will advect higher mean PWAT across FL, increasing peninsular rain
chances and shifting the higher POPs back toward the central-eastern
side of the state. We should see rain chances head back above the
early June climo normal of 30-40 percent, and toward 50, and perhaps
60 percent by Sunday-Monday.

.MARINE...
Tonight...Very weak pgrad acrs the lcl waters as broad cyclonic
circulation around the center of TD Bonnie keeps the Atlc ridge axis
disorganized. Light to S/SE breeze bcmg S/SW aft midnight as the
diurnal seabreeze circulation transitions to a land breeze. Seas
generally 2-3FT...up to 4FT in the Gulf Stream.

Tue-Wed...Weak pgrad will continue...though the Altc hi pres ridge
will slowly rebuild over the region as TD Bonnie (or her remnant
circulation) drifts up the Carolina coast. Light to gentle srly
breeze will prevail...meandering back and forth btwn S/SW in the
predawn/mrng hrs to the E/SE in the aftn/evng hrs with the diurnal
seabreeze/land breeze circulation.

Thu-Sat...Little change to the overall WX pattern as the Atlc ridge
axis remains draped over the FL peninsula. Prevailing wind direction
will be out of the S...shifting more to the E/SE near the coast each
aftn with the formation of the east coast sea breeze. Seas will hold
a steady 2-3FT...up to 4FT in the Gulf Stream. offshore moving
tsras should hold off until late in the weekend.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
ADEQUATE MOISTURE WILL COMBINE WITH AFTERNOON HEATING AND SEA AND
LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SLOW MOVING LIGHTNING
STORMS AGAIN TODAY. STORMS WILL INITIATE ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE JUST INLAND FROM THE TREASURE COAST AROUND NOON AND SPREAD
INLAND TO OKEECHOBEE COUNTY. EARLY THIS EVENING...BOUNDARY
COLLISIONS SHOULD PRODUCE SCATTERED STORMS OVER THE INTERIOR OVER OR
NEAR METRO ORLANDO.  CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR STRONG AND
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS CONTAINING FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS UP TO AROUND 50 MPH...SMALL HAIL AND LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
SLOW MOVING STORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ACCUMULATING
ONE TO TWO INCHES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME...WITH STORM TOTAL
ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 4 INCHES POSSIBLE IN A FEW LOCATIONS. THIS WILL
CAUSE TEMPORARY FLOODING OF SOME ROADS AND LOW LYING AREAS.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
OCEAN SWELLS AND TIDAL CONDITIONS WILL BRING A HIGH RISK FOR
STRONG RIP CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES TODAY ALONG VOLUSIA AND BREVARD
COUNTIES. A MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK WILL EXIST FOR INDIAN
RIVER...SAINT LUCIE AND MARTIN COUNTIES. MANY RIP RESCUES HAVE
BEEN REPORTED ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH ONE RIP RELATED
FATALITY REPORTED NEAR SPESSARD HOLLAND BEACH SUNDAY. MAKE SURE
TO SWIM NEAR A LIFEGUARD BEACH LOCATION AND NEVER SWIM ALONE.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
WIND GUSTS BRIEFLY IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN A FEW
STRONG STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE THREAT WILL START
ALONG THE TREASURE COAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THEN SPREAD INLAND TO
THE LARGER LAKES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS ALONG THE INLAND MOVING EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE AND WITH ANY BOUNDARY COLLISIONS OVER THE INTERIOR.
INCOMING SWELLS WILL KEEP THE RIP CURRENT THREAT ELEVATED
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.

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