Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
1027 AM EDT Sun Jul 22 2018

.UPDATE...
Today-Tonight...Rather anomalous trough aloft over the southeast
states will dig slowly towards our area and provide deep, gradually
increasing westerly flow.  Deep convection developing to our north
is forecast to expand southward through this afternoon, with another
large scale outflow boundary dropping down into the area and
bringing a chance for strong-severe storms late this afternoon and
into the evening.

The HRRR model has been showing this basic convective evolution, but
also shows minimal convection out ahead of the outflow boundary.
This would seem underdone given early morning dew points in the
upper 70s across most of the area (a few locations even had 80-81
degrees). Also, morning soundings across central Florida showed
precipitable water a little above normal (1.8 to 1.9 inches).

There was some distinct drying in the mid levels though, and
convection over the eastern Gulf this morning was less than
yesterday.  500mb temps were around minus 6 but with max temps
reaching the low-mid 90s, expect isolated to scattered storms to
initiate this afternoon and move east/southeast across the peninsula
ahead of the larger scale forced storms dropping down from the
north.

So even though the GFS, and MOS, indicated likely PoPs areawide,
will have to trend them down across the south half.  Will keep
likely values in the north today and have bumped them up to likely
there this evening.

With large scale forcing impacting the area and drier mid level air
in place, some of the storms dropping down into the north half of
the area will have the potential to produce strong and damaging wind
gusts by late afternoon and continuing into the evening hours.  The
Storm Prediction Center has a slight risk for severe storms there,
which is quite unusual for late July in east central Florida.

&&

.AVIATION...Mostly VFR conditions this morning. Two rounds
of SHRA/TSRA will be possible for most TAF sites.  The first will be
starting by early in the afternoon as convection moves from west to
east across the peninsula.  A second, and stronger batch of storms
is expected to drop down from the north in association with a large
scale outflow boundary.  Increasing low-mid level winds and dry air
aloft should lead to a potential for a rather widespread area of
strong wind gusts over 35 knots especially from KISM-KMCO-KTIX
northward late this afternoon and into the evening.

&&

.MARINE...
Today-Tonight...A rather decent gradient for this time of the year
wil support southwest winds 10-15 knots, and even a solid 15 knots
tonight offshore.  While these offshore winds won't build seas that
much (3 feet offshore and possibly 4 feet well offshore), any
boaters racing back to shore to avoid strong storms spreading over
the waters will experience a rough wind chop.

Mariners should be especially vigilant this afternoon as a large
scale outflow boundary will be racing southward again into the
northern waters this afternoon.  Widespread winds 35 knots or
greater are expected to push down to at least Cape Canaveral by
sunset (Special Marine Warnings will be likely).  Additional strong
storms, though more isolated, are expected to push offshore south of
there this afternoon/evening.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
The Saint Johns River ranges from near Action Stage to near Flood
Stage between Geneva and Astor. Little change is expected into mid
week.

Near Geneva, just south of Lake Harney, the most recent stage was
8.0 feet, which is at Flood Stage (8.0 feet). The river is forecast
to stay nearly steady through mid week. A River Flood Warning
remains in effect for this area.

At Sanford, the most recent stage was 4.9 feet, which is above
Action Stage (4.2 feet). The river is forecast to remain nearly
steady, staying below Flood Stage (5.5 feet) through mid week.

Near Deland, the most recent stage was 3.4 feet, which is near the
threshold for Action Stage (3.5 feet). The river is forecast to
remain nearly steady into mid week.

At Astor, the most recent stage was 2.1 feet, which is within Action
Stage. The river is forecast to remain nearly steady into mid week.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms will move
quite quickly across the peninsula this afternoon and evening.
Some of these storms will be strong to severe and have the
potential to produce winds gust of 50 to 60 mph. Frequent
lightning and periods of torrential rainfall can also be expected
with the strongest storms. Strong to severe weather is possible
for all of east central Florida, but the greatest chances will be
north of a line from Kissimmee/St. Cloud to Melbourne/Palm Bay.
Storms will move fast from the west to northwest, so those with
outdoor activities should keep an eye on the western and northern
horizon and be prepared to move to safe shelter.

Timing for strong to severe weather will begin mid to late
afternoon across Lake and Volusia counties and late afternoon to
early evening across Seminole, Orange, Brevard, and Osceola
counties. The threat for strong to severe weather will continue
into the late evening and early overnight hours.

.EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
Heat indices between 100 and 105 degrees are expected where
showers and storms hold off the longest this afternoon. If
working outside or engaging in any outdoor activity, be sure to
remain well hydrated and take frequent rest breaks.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A small ocean swell will keep a moderate rip current risk at area
beaches. Only swim in the ocean near a lifeguard.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Storms will move to the east to southeast at 20 to 25 mph and
reach east central Florida and the coastal waters in the
afternoon into this evening. The latest indication is for the
greatest threat to be north of a line from Kissimmee/St. Cloud to
Melbourne/Palm Bay extending offshore into the Atlantic waters.
Wind gusts over 35 knots are expected over inland lakes and over
the coastal waters, which will prompt Special Marine Warnings for
portions of the coastal waters. Small craft operators should
navigate to safe harbor well in advance of approaching storms.

.RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
The Saint Johns River above Lake Harney near Geneva remains at
Minor Flood Stage, and a River Flood Warning remains in effect
for this area. The Saint Johns River at Astor, Sanford and Deland
remain near or above Action Stage.

Barring additional significant rainfall over the basin or its
headwaters, river levels are forecast to either remain steady or
very slowly fall through early next week.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
Scattered to numerous afternoon and evening showers and storms
are expected this week. The main storm threats will continue to
be frequent lightning strikes, gusty winds and torrential
downpours producing urban, river, and poor drainage flooding.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters are requested to monitor the weather and self activate
if needed.
