The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 9, 2:43 PM EDT, 1 hour 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 2:43 PM EDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 243 PM EDT Sun Jun 9 2019 .DISCUSSION... ...Widespread Showers and Storms With Heavy Rainfall On Tap for the Next Several days... Current-Tonight...Many boundary collisions, coupled with deep moisture, surface heating, mid-level impulses, and favorable diffluence further aloft promoting the abnormally "high" coverage of showers and storms across the area. PoPs remain at 80pct areawide with highest coverage continuing thru late afternoon and early evening before conditions gradually diminish. SWRLY steering flow 15- 20 mph will stack up convection across the eastern peninsula. Some gusty outflows will arrive well ahead of precip. Storm impacts continue to be torrential downpours leading to localized flooding, especially if any training of cells or heavy downpours on already saturated ground occur, as well as frequent cloud to ground lightning in a few storms, and gusty winds between 40 and 50 mph. This afternoon the Storms Prediction Center has updated the Day 1 Convective Outlook to Marginal across the eastern peninsula. There may be the potential for hail up to quarter size in the strongest activity. Lows in the L-M70s. Cloud debris will be slow to thin overnight. Previous Extended Forecast Discussion Monday-Tuesday...A rather compressed and amplified upper trough/ ridge will be present across the Atlantic Seaboard on Mon stretching from New England to the eastern GOMEX. At the surface, broad surface low with an associated weak and meandering cool front will be wedged between two significant areas of high pressure, one transitioning east out of the Central Plains and the other over the west Atlantic. This atypical pattern will keep a reinforced supply of concentrated deep moisture in place over FL and with the peripheral axis of the Atlantic ridge tucked well south of Central FL. Consequently, low level flow will continue out of the southwest fostering numerous showers and thunderstorms for the peninsula. Opportunity exists for some localized excessive rain, and otherwise generous wetting most places. A productive west-coast seabreeze will be the added factor. Until the synoptic pattern breaks down, early week multi-day totals will need to be monitored for increased flooding concerns. Tue will see more of the same with said boundary over parts of North FL and the Panhandle with potential for frontal wave development. The stalled boundary will linger over the SE CONUS through mid-week accompanied by disturbed weather along and out ahead. Max temps in the U80s/L90s with mins in the L/M70s. PoPs remaining on the high side peaking near 70 percent each day. Wednesday-Saturday...The upper pattern dampens considerably as broad troughing takes its place by mid-week. Atmospheric moisture remains abundant over the area through much of the week offering plenty of fuel for convection and rain-makers. While the weak cool front tries to inch closer to Central FL, it only manages to promote persistence to the forecast until late week when a significant area of high pressure bridges the boundary. It should combine with the Atlantic ridge Fri-Sat to flip the pattern to an onshore flow regime. Of course, this favors the western side of the peninsula for diurnal convection, and more of a late night/early morning shower/storm regime for ECFL. Temps will be near normal. && .AVIATION...Widespread showers and storms will continue to push across ECFL thru at least early evening before a decrease in both coverage and intensity. SWRLY steering flow of 15-20 kts will send storms across the eastern peninsula and off of the coast. IFR VSBYs/local G30-40KT possible with TSRA. At least a SCHC mention will continue for showers overnight in the soupy airmass. Another round in store for tomorrow/Monday with little change in the pattern. && .MARINE...Today-tonight...Previous modified...Surface ridge axis remains well south/east of the local coastal waters. Seas generally 2 ft near shore and 2-3 ft well offshore. Biggest concern continues the late day/early evening offshore push (high coverage) of showers and storms. Generally southerly flow (SSW-SSE) AOB 15 kts. Winds and seas locally higher invof showers/storms. Expect occasional erratic directional component of wind due to storms. Storm outflows can arrive well ahead of the storm itself with very gusty winds. Mariners over inland lakes are also not immune from storms and need to keep an eye to the sky westward. Storm impacts remain torrential downpours, cloud to water (sometimes frequent) lightning, gusty winds in excess of 34 kts, and small hail. Previous Extended Marine Forecast Discussion Monday-Thursday...A moist and prevailing deep layer southwest wind flow will govern the marine weather through the period. Conditions will be well below cautionary concerns for both winds and seas, yet scattered to numerous storms will push offshore each day with the potential for strong gusts of 34KT or more. The threat will be highest during the afternoon and evening. Winds and seas will be locally higher near the more stout storms, which will also produce very heavy rain. Otherwise, seas will be 3FT or less through mid- week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A southwesterly feed of deep tropical moisture will combine with daytime heating, the west coast sea breeze, and a mid to upper level disturbance aloft to produce widespread showers and storms across east central Florida. Coverage is forecast to increase through the afternoon and early evening. Showers and storms already across west central Florida, will likely continue to develop and move eastward toward the Kissimmee River and across the Interstate 4 corridor from late morning into early this afternoon. Numerous to widespread showers and storms will impact most of the region throughout the remainder of the mid to late afternoon and into early evening. Storm motion will be toward the northeast at 20 to 25 mph. The main threats from today's storms will be deadly cloud to ground lightning strikes, and torrential rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches, which could fall in a 60 to 90 minute period. Wind gusts as high as 40 to 45 mph and small hail will also be possible. .FLOOD IMPACT... Due to the locally heavy rainfall of the past few days, the local water table is starting to rise, and drainage basins and water retention areas area beginning to fill up. Because of this, the threat for temporary inundation of urban, low lying, and poorly drained areas is successively increasing, and is likely to occur more quickly compared to last month. If you live in an area prone to poor drainage flooding, make efforts to shore up any property that might easily flood. Recognize local roadways that are more likely to flood, and avoid them during heavy rain events. Never attempt to cross an area where water covers the road. The depth may be too great to allow your vehicle to get across safely. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Stronger storms could produce wind gusts in excess of 35 knots over larger inland lakes, as well as the Intracoastal and near shore Atlantic waters. Mariners should keep a close eye on weather conditions and watch for storms quickly approaching from the west again today. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. Numerous showers and lightning storms are expected across east central through most of this week. The main concerns will continue to be deadly cloud to ground lightning strikes, and the increasing threat of poor drainage flooding due to several days of locally heavy rainfall. Locally gusty winds will also be possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are requested to monitor the weather and self activate if needed. Please report any rainfall amounts of 2 inches or more, or any flooding or roads or property to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. Cristaldi/Sedlock
