Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
408 AM EST Sat Feb 25 2017

.DISCUSSION...

Currently...Fog and stratus is increasing in coverage early this
morning with some locations dropping to a quarter to half mile in fog
through 3 am. Expecting further visibility reductions as fog becomes
thicker across much of east central Florida between 4 am and 8 am
this morning. Will continue to monitor extent of low vsby reductions
through the early morning hours. The fog and stratus will linger
through 9 to 10 am and then begin to break up with daytime mixing
and westerly flow ahead of a cold front.

Today...Surface low pressure east of the state will move northeast
ahead of a mainly dry cold front that will move through the
panhandle this morning and east central Florida from early evening
to around midnight. Lack of moisture in the 850-500 mb layer should
keep precip chances at bay until the front moves over the Atlantic
later tonight with some isolated showers offshore expected. After
areas of morning fog and stratus expect skies to become mostly clear
initially then partly cloudy into the afternoon. High temperatures
will reach the lower to mid 80s, with near record levels at Vero
Beach and possibly Melbourne. Moderate swells will contribute to a
high risk of rip currents at east central Florida beaches.

Tonight...A mostly dry front will switch winds to the NW-N overnight
and allow lows to drop into the lower to mid 50s north to the mid
60s across Martin county. Any shower activity should remain offshore
from the Treasure coast later tonight.

Sunday...Front drops south of CWA by daybreak, followed by rapid
veering of winds from N during the morning to NE by mid day to
E/SE overnight. Relatively dry/cool airmass therefore will be very
shortlived. Max temps ranging from upper 60s along the Volusia
coast due to onshore flow across cooler shelf waters to mid 70s
most areas to near 80 SE coast. Isolated showers should remain
over the southern waters during the day, with a few working
onshore SE coast overnight as winds strengthen and become more SE.

Monday-Wednesday...WSW mid/upper flow pattern between NW Caribbean
anticyclone and mid-latitude troughiness which will deepen and
spread from the NW states to the Great Lakes. Sprawling surface
high offshore the mid-Atlantic states Monday will slowly shift
eastward with the ridge axis dropping southward to central FL by
mid week. Rather tight pressure gradient will result in breezy SE
flow along the coast Monday, with lighter winds becoming more SSE
Tuesday/Wednesday. The Southerly wind component will occasionally
tap areas of higher upstream moisture, bringing a small shower
chance to primarily the coastal counties. Temps will quickly
rebound reaching the lower-mid 80s Monday and mid areas most areas
Tuesday/Wednesday. Mins Monday will range from the mid 50s NW
interior to near 70 along the SE coast, rising to generally 65-70
area-wide Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Thursday-Friday...Southern extent of broad mid-level trough
approaches Thursday, with axis crossing area early Friday.
Advection of deep moisture in advance of associated surface front
rather limited, ECMWF moreso than GFS. However, pre-front
instability should be enough for scattered showers and isolated
lightning storms Thursday, with isolated showers lingering into
Thursday night and across southernmost CWA Friday. Timing of FROPA
rather uncertain at this time, but should drop toward/south of
Lake Okeechobee Thursday night or Friday. Min temps expected to
drop into the 50s by early Friday (except low/mid 60s along the
coast south of the Cape, with max temps genearlly in the 70s
Friday.

&&

.AVIATION...

LIFR fog/stratus conds expected at most terminals across east
central FL early this morning from KFPR northward. Conds will
improve aft 15z with scattered cumulus this afternoon. The front
will move through the area tonight but low CIGs or VSBYs are not
expected.

&&

.MARINE...

Today...Winds will become westerly to around 10 knots today with
lingering east swells. SCEC headlines in effect for the offshore
waters.

Tonight...A front will move south across the waters tonight and
usher in northerly winds to around 20 knots behind it. Will step a
Small Craft Advisory down the waters after midnight with seas
building to 7-8 ft in the northern gulf stream waters late.

Sunday...NE/E flow weakens across north/central waters, but
remains 15-20 kt across southern waters into the overnight. Seas
begin to subside over north/central waters, but remain hazardous
across the south.

Monday-Wednesday...E/SE gradient flow increases again to near 20
kt Monday as high pressure builds to the NE. Seas 3-4 ft nearshore
and 5-6 ft offshore, subsiding overnight. Flow becomes SE/S AOB 10
kt Tuesday as ridge axis drops southward, then increases 10-15 kt
Wednesday. Seas slow to subside, reaching 3-4 ft by Wednesday.
Isolated to scattered showers through the period.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

.DENSE FOG/SMOKE IMPACT...
Clear skies and light winds should lead to areas of dense fog
developing late tonight, especially over northern and interior
sections. The fog will reduce visibilities less than one half mile
in some areas. Motorists who plan to be on the roadways late
tonight and early Saturday should prepare for the possibility of
encountering dense fog.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Although wind speeds are diminishing, seas will be slower to
subside. Small craft should exercise caution for seas 6 to 7 feet
beyond 20 miles offshore.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
Moderate swells will continue Saturday, and even though winds
will be favorable for boating, transiting inlets during the
outgoing tide on Saturday could be hazardous for small vessels.

Northerly winds will increase again behind a cold front Saturday
night and result in poor to hazardous boating conditions into
Sunday.

Beach conditions will also be poor to hazardous into early next
week due to rough surf or dangerous rip currents.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed tonight.

and west of Martin County. Visibilities will drop below one quarter
mile at times. Motorists should prepare to encounter rapidly
