Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
954 PM EST Wed Feb 19 2020

.DISCUSSION...
Current-Tonight...A weak sfc boundary over central FL will wash out
overnight as surface winds become light NE-E areawide. Cloudy to
MCloudy sky conditions will continue overnight. Rain chances will
revert mostly to the marine area late tonight, but will keep a small
chc of a light shower in the forecast. Patchy fog is indicated by
most avbl guidance across the northern counties in the early morning
hours Thu along with development of lower clouds Expect mild
conditions with lows in the 60s areawide.

prev disc...

Thu...As the former boundary washes out across the central FL
peninsula, winds will gradually become south to southwest during the
day in response to a stronger boundary pressing southward that will
approach the I-4 corridor by sunset. This boundary will be
encouraged southward by mid-level shortwave energy aloft. Surface
winds may veer northwest to north late in day north of I-4 depending
on speed of the front. Moisture will again start to pool over the
area ahead of this feature. Another unseasonably warm day is in
store for much of the forecast area. Expect I-4 corridor northward
to find the U70s to L80s with M80s and perhaps a few U80s further
southward which could approach records for this date. An isolated
shower threat early in the period will become more scattered (30-
40pct) during the afternoon from Indian River County northward.
While there may be some breaks in the clouds at times during this
day, expect considerably cloudy skies overall.

&&

.AVIATION...
Winds becoming NE-E this evening and overnight as the boundary
begins to wash out. Winds on Thu will gradually become SWRLY in the
afternoon, then WRLY with the approach of a stronger front that will
sink near the I-4 corridor by early Thu evening. Some patchy fog and
low stratus clouds may become an issue for some TAF sites late
overnight into early Thu morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Afternoon-Tonight...A weak frontal trough wl remain stationary south
of the Cape. ISOLD to SCT showers/sprinkles will be forecast over
the next 24 hours due to coastal troughing/convergence, ample
moisture and approaching stronger weather system. Winds N/NE behind
the boundary and generally southerly ahead of it. Wind speeds
remaining AOB 15 kts. Seas 2-3 ft near shore and 3-4 ft offshore
north of Sebastian Inlet.

Thu...Another (stronger) front will approach the northern waters
late in the day with a stronger northerly surge behind it. Scattered
showers are forecast again. Lighter morning winds will become S/SW
and increase during the day to 10-15 kts over the open Atlc ahead of
the approaching front. Initial seas 2-4 ft building to 3-4 ft near
shore and 5 ft offshore, north of Sebastian Inlet by late day. Small
Craft Advisories and/or a Gale Watch/Warning will be necessary as
both winds/seas are forecast to deteriorate and become very
hazardous behind the latest front.

.MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

A Moderate Risk of rip currents will continue Thursday.

Strong high pressure building southeast from the Plains States
will drive a cold front across central Florida and the adjacent
Atlantic waters Thursday night. Boating and beach conditions will
quickly become hazardous behind the front, as north to northeast
winds increase 15 to 25 mph over land and 25 to 30 knots over
water, with gusts to Gale Force likely through Friday night. Seas
will build 8 to 12 feet near shore and up to 16 feet in the Gulf
Stream. Large breaking waves up to 9 feet expected in the surf
zone will result in minor to moderate beach erosion.

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