Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
314 PM EDT Thu Aug 9 2018

.DISCUSSION...
Tonight...Storms from mid to late afternoon are expected to
increase over ECFL given westerly deep layer winds and a diffuse
west coast boundary moving across the area. Current forecast keeps
sct coverage in place through sunset with steady tapering off of
activity through late tonight while lingering storms move toward
the east coast and off the beaches of Volusia and Brevard
counties.

Fri...Similar regime remains in place for Fri as ridge remains
south of the area. Development of diurnal storms over the favored
eastern portion of the peninsula wl occur. Guid continues to
suggest at least sct coverage, with slightly better chcs over the
central to southern half of the area and along the coast once
again from from mid to late afternoon.

from prev disc...

Sat...Broadly cyclonic pattern over the eastern seaboard
continues thru week's end, which will keep the axis of the Bermuda
Ridge suppressed south of Lake-O and the Nrn Bahamas. This in
turn will generate a westerly flow thru the H100-H70 lyr acrs the
region, a flow pattern that will concentrate diurnal precip over
the east central peninsula.

Sun-Wed... Troffing pattern will persist east of the MS River
Valley into early next week before gradually dampening out into
mid week. This will allow the Bermuda Ridge axis to slowly build
into central FL, with the H100-H70 mean flow gradually backing
from SW on Sun to due S by daybreak Wed. The increasing southerly
component will tap sufficient tropical moisture to push PoPs into
the 50-60pct range Sun/Mon. A new slug of dry air is fcst to
advect into FL by midweek. PoPs will continue to favor the east
coast thru Tue, but dropping back to 30- 40pct, then 30pct
areawide on Wed as low/mid lvl flow orients itself to S/SE,
parallel to the central FL Peninsula. No sig change in PoPs as the
prevailing srly wind component keeps them AOA climo...maxes
L/M90s, mins L/M70s.

&&

.AVIATION...
Stronger west winds today have led to an early start to convection
with some early afternoon showers moving across the interior
areas/terminals. Based on latest trends in HRRR and local WRF models
it seems showers and storms will affect a majority of the terminals
across the area this afternoon. Based on this I included TEMPO
groups for the possibility of strong storms producing brief periods
of MVFR/IFR visibilities. The likely period of shower and
thunderstorm impact will be from approximately 09/19Z-22Z for the
interior terminals, and from approximately 09/20Z-23Z for the
coastal terminals. Storms should dissipate and/or move offshore
after sunset, with VFR conditions prevailing overnight. With a low
chance of showers/storms for Friday, I've held off on adding a
VCSH/VCTS group at KMCO with the 09/18Z TAF package.

&&

.MARINE...
Tonight...Wly steering flow may allow some storms to push just
offshore later in the day/toward sunset from convection that
develops over the interior and can push back toward the coast.
Outside of this activity favorable winds and seas can be expected.

Fri-Mon...Broad troffing pattern over the ern seaboard will keep the
Bermuda ridge axis in the vcnty of Lake-O and the nrn Bahamas into
early next week. Light to gentle SWrly breeze will prevail, backing
to S/SE in the early aftn/late evng hrs due to the sea breeze
circulation. Seas AOB 2FT nearshore and 2-3FT offshore on Fri,
subsiding to AOB 2FT areawide Fri night thru Mon. Primary marine
threat will be sct tsras moving offshore each aftn.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
The river level on the Saint Johns River at Astor is forecast to
remain nearly steady in minor flood stage late this week, then
begin to slowly decline this weekend into early next week. The
river may recede below Minor Flood Stage over the next 5 days, but
will remain elevated above Action Stage beyond the forecast
period. Elsewhere, river levels are forecast to remain within
Action Stage over the next 5 days.

Please refer to our River Flood Warnings/Statements (FLSMLB) and
Hydrologic Statements (RVSMLB) for the most recent stage and
forecast information.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop on
the east and west coast sea breeze boundaries this afternoon and
move to the east at 5 to 10 mph. Boundary interactions should
increase the coverage and intensity of storms during the late
afternoon and early evening, especially near the east coast.

The main storm threat will be from lightning strikes, which will
be frequent in a few strong storms. Drier mid level air will
enhance the thunderstorm gust potential, with gusts up to 50 mph
possible. Stronger and slower moving storms could also dump near 2
inches of rain in an hour.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A small long period swell will continue to produce a moderate rip
current risk at area beaches. Only swim in the ocean near a
lifeguard.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Isolated to scattered storms will move to the east at 5 to 10 mph
across the peninsula this afternoon and evening, with a few pushing
across the coast. Gusts 40 to 50 mph will be possible with a few
storms. Mariners should remember that these strong wind gusts often
occur well ahead of the heavy rain and lightning associated with an
approaching storm.

.RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
The Saint Johns River at Astor remains near Flood Stage. A River
Flood Warning continues in this area for minor flooding.

The Saint Johns River at Sanford, Deland, and above Lake Harney near
Geneva remain above Action Stage. River levels are forecast to
remain steady or slowly fall through late week.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
Rising moisture levels will lead to a gradual increase in storm
coverage through the weekend. Lightning strikes will continue to
be the main hazard, but the presence of some drier mid level air
will keep the gust potential elevated. Slow moving storms will
also produce local rain amounts of 2 or 3 inches in a short
period of time, leading to water ponding problems on roadways and
in other poorly drained areas.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is not anticipated today.
