Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 10:28 AM EDT, 1 hour 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 1028 AM EDT Thu Jun 21 2018 .DISCUSSION... ...Heat Indices Between 101 and 106 Areawide this Afternoon... Current-Tonight...WFO MLB WSR-88D active early this morning showing echoes across WCNTRL FL with some ISOLD activity occasionally moving into the central peninsula. Local HRRR model shows this trend of convection pushing eastward into the ECFL thru late morning/early afternoon, especially near/north of I-4. 915 MHZ Cape wind profilers show fairly deep westerly flow, but light with wind speeds averaging around 10 kts. The 10Z KXMR sounding has come in with a PWAT of 2.13 inches, but with a warm 500 mb temperature of -5.2C. Models show forecast temperatures at -6.0C to -6.5C at this level which is still relatively warm. The ECSB does not appear to develop today at least north of the Cape. Should it develop southward along the Space Coast or Treasure Coast, then it will likely be pinned along the coast without much or little movement inland. The WCSB will be the main player today with convection pushing from WCNTRL FL eastward into the eastern peninsula during the afternoon and early evening. Coverage should be highest late afternoon into early evening through additional boundary collisions, and perhaps pulsing near the east coast should the ECSB develop. Main concerns continue to be torrential downpours, cloud to ground lightning, small hail, and gusty downburst winds up to around 45 mph. Fairly high PoPs areawide around 50pct. A hot day in store with afternoon highs in the L90s. Combined temperature/moisture readings will push apparent temperatures/heat indices in the 101 to 106 range areawide. Lows remain warm in the L- M70s with conditions sultry. && .AVIATION...Convection getting an early start along the I-4 corridor with activity pushing eastward across the area from WCNTRL this morning. This trend will continue into early afternoon. Some tempo groups for IFR/MVFR conditions necessary for KLEE to KDAB and down to KISM/KMCO/KSFB and KTIX. Additional tempo reductions in cig/vis during the afternoon and early evening as the WCSB promotes development of scattered showers and storms pushing them E/SE across the area and eventually offshore. && MARINE...Today-Tonight...Surface ridge axis remains south of the area promoting a SWRLY flow generally 6-12 kts, though does increase for a few hours mid/late evening to around 15 kts over the open Atlc. The ECSB may not develop at all across the Volusia coast due to the stronger westerly flow, but if it develops southward it will likely remain pinned along the coast. Should it develop anywhere, then naturally we will see winds back at the coast to ESE/SE. Expect an increase in offshore pushing showers/storms as early as early afternoon Cape northward with increasing chances southward late afternoon/early evening. Winds/seas locally higher invof storms. Seas mainly AOB 2 ft otherwise. && .HYDROLOGY...The St Johns River Above Lake Harney near Geneva is forecast to remain fairly steady at current levels, staying above Action Stage and below flood stage through late this week and into the weekend. && .MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None. AM...None. && Sedlock/Johnson
