Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 3:29 PM EDT, 5 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
329 PM EDT FRI JUN 24 2016

.DISCUSSION...
Tonight...Isold/Sct diurnal pcpn, and perhaps a storms or two
related to late boundary collisions will linger through dusk with
activity in the form of showers confined to the marine area and
near shore waters of the Treasure coast overnight.

SAT-SUN...(from prev disc) Slow erosion of subtropical ridge,
which has been present the entire work week across the area will
bring eventual increase in rain chances during the weekend.
A frontal boundary well north of the area wl sags south toward the FL
border, keeping a rather weak S/SW flow over the area. Sea/lake
breeze boundaries wl develop and move inland each afternoon.

Moisture profiles and steering winds aloft favor best chance for
storms over the interior during the afternoon and evening hours.
Convective coverage forecast to be greater on Sunday as deeper
moisture and disturbance aloft builds down into the area ahead of
weakening front to the north.

Highs Saturday will reach the low to mid 90s with heat index values
ranging from 100-105. Then with more showers and storms expected
Sunday, highs will range from the upper 80s to low 90s. Overnight
lows will be in the low to mid 70s.

MON-THU...Models in fairly good agreement into the work week with
ridge axis generally meandering across the southern half of the
Florida peninsula. GFS indicates some initial drying working in
behind passing disturbance aloft early next week, but then
sufficient moisture quickly rebuilds in the low level S/SW flow to
maintain forecast of scattered afternoon showers and storms each day
with greatest coverage expected over the interior from late day sea
breeze/outflow boundary interactions.

Highs continue in the upper 80s to low 90s with overnight lows in
the low to mid 70s.

&&

.AVIATION...
Prevailing VFR. ISOLD-WDLY SCT shra/TS chances mnly along I-4 and
across interior sections of Osceola Co. to Lake Okeechobee into this
eve. Tempo MVFR conds in shra/tsra psbl in the affected locations.
Light onshore winds through dusk wl become VRBL tonight. Somewhat
higher rain chcs Sat wl have a greater chc of producing brief
cig/vsby reductions to both coastal and inland forecast sites.

&&

.MARINE...
Tonight-Sat...The slowly weakening subtropical ridge across
central Florida will set up a typical looking summer pattern with
east/southeast flow in the south and a south/southwest gradient
wind in the north. Speeds look 10 knots or less and seas will
continue 3 feet or less. With higher moisture over the south,
expect isolated showers and storms. Afternoon sea breeze
generated showers/storms should mainly occur inland.

Sun-Tue...Ridge axis generally remains across the southern half
of Florida during the weekend and into early next week as a
frontal boundary sags into the southeast U.S. and weakens. Winds
will remain below 15 knots out of the S/SW during the overnight
and early morning hours, becoming more onshore into the afternoon
as the sea breeze forms and moves inland. Seas will range from 1-3
feet nearshore and up to 3-4 feet offshore.

Highest chance for showers and storms will remain over the
interior through this period, with offshore moving storms
unlikely.

TREASURE COAST. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS WILL GRADUALLY
DEVELOP FURTHER INLAND AND NORTHWARD AS THE AFTERNOON CONTINUES. A
