Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 3:15 PM EDT, 5 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 315 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2016 .DISCUSSION... ...Hot temperatures and below normal rain chances will continue through the weekend... Tonight...Sea breeze boundary interactions should favor the interior in the very late afternoon and evening and will keep 20-30 pct rain chances through around 8 pm. Will see some lingering showers/storms into late evening with very slow moving storms as steering flow collapses with activity ending into late evening. Muggy lows are expected overnight in the mid to upper 70s. Sat-Sun...12z model guidance supports lower than normal rain chances this weekend and above normal temperatures. For Saturday the mid level ridge will remain across the srn peninsula with the sfc ridge axis near Lake Okeechobee. GFS has considerable dry air in the h8-h7 layer which will not be conducive for much more than isolated mid to late afternoon storms focusing toward the interior by late in the day as the east and west coast sea breeze boundaries move well inland. Highs into the lower to mid 90s coast and mid to upper 90s across the interior. Slightly higher moisture levels by Sunday afternoon may support slight more coverage of late afternoon storms but will keep POPs from 20-30 percent with highs maybe a deg or two below Saturday's readings but still into the mid 90s for the interior. Overnight lows this weekend mainly in the mid 70s. Extended...Models continue to lift the axis of the western Atlantic ridge further to the north early next week. Moisture levels remain unimpressive, though most of the globals suggest a slight increase in precipitable water can be expected. Isolated to scattered coverage expected with higher chances of mid/late afternoon storms across the interior continuing. Storms should not be particularly strong as notable cooling/drying aloft is not anticipated over the next 5 to 6 days. && .AVIATION... Isold SHRA/TSRA may affect interior terminals into early evening with additional storms developing as west and east coast sea breeze boundaries move toward the interior. Have included VCTS for interior TAF sites for this expected convection. Should be mainly VFR past 03z and overnight with low SHRA/TSRA chcs again expected for Sat. && .MARINE... Tonight...Southerly winds will become SW overnight to 10-15 knots offshore with seas up to 3 ft. Could see redevelopment of isolated late night showers/storms across the Gulf stream waters north of the Cape. Sat-Sun...S-SW winds Sat will become more southerly Sunday with SE winds to 10-15 knots developing near the coast each afternoon with the east coast sea breeze circulation. Most of the afternoon showers/storms will remain over the mainland with seas to 2 ft near shore and 3 ft offshore. Mon-Wed...The ATLC ridge axis will shift slowly northward early next week allowing southerly winds Monday to become southeast across the waters by Wed. Seas generally 2-3 ft through the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
