Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
315 PM EDT Sat Jun 17 2017

.DISCUSSION...

...Above normal rain chances will continue into next week...

Current through this evening...Active convection over the Treasure
Coast Counties has helped kick an ECSB/outflow boundary combination
well inland, while it appears that some low level synoptic backing
of the low level winds (apart from any sea breeze influence) has
indeed shifted boundaries farther west as was being advertised by
the mesomodels. WCSB/outflow generated Convection also starting to
impinge on NW Lake and Volusia Counties, although cellular motion
has backed to almost due north, at an increasingly slow pace.

Based upon these radar and satellite trends, this necessitates
dropping back late afternoon POPs for the coastal areas, since the
ongoing activity over the SE CWA will continue to be on the wane
toward issuance time. Will keep pre-first period likely POPs over
the interior owing to expected late afternoon collision and cell
propagation in that area, rather than farther eastward.

Tonight...Lingering showers/storm for a few hours post sunset,
mainly inland, with activity dissipating toward midnight. Small
threat for a late night shower/storm along the Saint Lucie/ Martin
coast in sultry air mass as flow continues to slightly back. Mins
in the L-M70s.

Sunday...Very deep moisture will pivot back NW across the central
peninsula on the east side of a large developing tropical gyre/ T-
wave axis centered well to the SW. Expect a much more active
Atlantic sea breeze, with activity pushing steadily inland as low
levels continue to back slightly south of the westward-expanding
nose of the ridge to the north. POPs will trend from 40-50 along the
Volusia coast to 60 north-central interior and 70 south. Scattered
showers/storms lingering well into the evening, with small threat
for precip lingering into the overnight. A little higher chance
continues along the Saint Lucie/Martin coast owing to SE flow in
place. Maxes in the U80s to around 90F, with mins in the M-U70s.

...Modified previous discussion follows...

 Monday... Deep tropical moisture will remain over the area on
MOnday with PWATs from 2.2 to 2.4 inches and low level SSE flow to
20-25 knots in the H9-H8 layer. Will continue high chances for
showers and isolated storms with locally heavy rain expected. Rain
chances are expected in the 50-60 percent range near the east coast
and 60-70 percent for the interior. Mostly cloudy skies will keep
highs in the mid 80s.

Tuesday-Wednesday...Global models continue to diverge with eventual
low pressure development along the tropical wave axis into mid week.
GFS/GEM track the low northward into the AL/MS coast by late Tuesday
night/early Wednesday morning, while the ECM has the low moving
W/WNW across the southern Gulf and eventually toward the upper
MX/lower TX coast by late Wednesday night. UKM also shows a more
westward track.

An eastern solution would keep deeper moisture across east central
FL longer into mid week with the potential for locally heavy rain
and high rain chances. The ECM solution would portend this moisture
lifting northwestward over the GOMEX with more backed lower levels
some lowering of moisture levels for the Treasure coast. Will lean
somewhat closer to the GFS which has higher rain chances and cloud
cover lingering into mid week. Rain chances will 40-60 percent
Tuesday (lower along the Treasure coast) and 50-60 percent Wed.
Highs temperatures generally in the U80s with mins in the 70s.

Thursday-Saturday... The forecast trend into late week and the start
of the weekend is for lowering mean moisture levels...especially in
the mid to upper levels as a mid level ridge at 500 mbs builds just
north or northeast of the area. Low level flow will remain from the
southeast with the GFS model continuing deeper moisture into Thu
before showing some drying into late week. Will indicate one more
day with some likely shower/thunderstorm chances across the nrn
interior then rain chances back to the scattered range for Friday
and Saturday. Highs should climb into late week with more sun
expected. Temps will reach the upper 80s to near 90 with morning
lows in the 70s.

&&

.AVIATION...Focus for TS chances will shift toward the inland
aerodromes from MCO-SFB to ISM-LEE, mainly from 21Z-01Z. IFR VSBYs
and gusts to around 30KT will remain possible. Activity will
diminish and dissipate after sunset, with slight chance for late
night (08Z-12Z) redevelopment near FPR-SUA.

&&

.MARINE...

Tonight-Sunday...S-SE winds increase to 10-15KT from tonight into
Sunday and 13-18KT Sunday night. Seas continue at 2-3 ft through by
afternoon, with 3-4FT seas developing well offshore Sunday night.
scattered to numerous shower and storms.

Monday-Tuesday...SE winds to 10-15 knots north and 15-20 knots srn
waters with seas building to 3-5 ft. Scattered showers and storms
are expected.

Wednesday-Thursday...SE winds decreasing to around 10 knots with
seas subsiding to 3-4 ft.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A moist and unstable air mass remains in place over central
Florida. Daytime heating will combine with local sea and lake
breezes to allow numerous showers and lightning storms to develop
across the area today. Showers and storms are expected to
initially form along the coast by early afternoon as the east and
west coast sea breezes develop and push inland. Activity will
then increase in coverage and intensity by mid to late afternoon
over the interior counties or toward the east coast as sea and
lake breezes interact with thunderstorm outflow boundaries.

Storm motion will be to the north-northeast at 10 MPH or less.
The main storm hazards will be frequent cloud-to-ground lightning
strikes, gusty winds up to 40 mph and torrential rainfall within
stronger storms.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Due to slower storm motion, today's thunderstorms will be capable
of producing torrential downpours of 2 to 3 inches in a 60 to 90
minute period. This will result in considerable water ponding on
roadways and other poorly drained and low lying areas.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A small long period swell will produce a moderate rip current
risk at area beaches. The threat will be highest after 5:30 PM
this afternoon due to tidal effects. Check with beach control for
local conditions and only swim in the ocean near a lifeguard.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will occur over
land this afternoon, with the activity pushing north-northeast at
10 knots. A few stronger storms will have the potential to produce
wind gusts over 35 knots as well as frequent lightning strikes
over inland lakes or as they push offshore. The best chance for
offshore moving storms will be from early to mid afternoon as they
initially develop along the east coast sea breeze.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
Moist conditions will remain in place into the middle of next
week. Little, if any, interruption to the pattern of scattered to
numerous afternoon showers and thunderstorms is expected. The
highest coverage will shift to the western half of the peninsula
early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is not anticipated. Rainfall observers are
requested to report measured rain amounts of three inches or
greater to the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
