Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
338 PM EDT Wed Jun 24 2020

.DISCUSSION...

...Isolated to Scattered Afternoon/Evening Showers and Storms (Few
Strong)...
...Hot & Humid with Heat Indices Between 103 and 108F across ECFL on
Thursday...
...A Moderate Rip Current Threat will Continue at Beaches into the
Weekend...

Current-tonight...Delayed sea breeze formation along the east coast
(though earlier than yesterday) has allowed for temperatures to soar
into the L90s along the coast. M90s will be common inland with a few
U90s within reach. Heat index values average between 100-106F across
much of ECFL ahead of the sea breeze this afternoon. Sea breeze and
subsequent mesoscale boundary collisions late today into the evening
will focus convection over the eastern/central peninsula with some
storms moving back across Volusia/Brevard counties.

The surface ridge axis will remain across the south-central FL
peninsula through tonight. The 15Z KXMR sounding came in with a PWAT
of 1.80 inches and a cooler 500 mb temp of -8.7C. The 915 MHZ Cape
wind profilers continue to show a deep, but weakening, WRLY flow (10-
15 kts) above the surface through 10.0 Kft. Average PWATs areawide,
again, continue between 1.70-2.00 inches. Some ISOLD convection is
forecast along the ECSB during this afternoon, with highest coverage
and intensity of storms across the interior late in day/evening.
Westerly storm motion will push storms slowly eastward with average
speed 10-15 mph I-4 north and 5-10 mph south. Boundary collisions
should allow for a 30-40pct coverage in convection late day/evening.
Storm impacts, again, include torrential downpours leading to
ponding of water on roadways with some nuisance minor flooding
possible, frequent cloud to ground lightning, downburst winds of 45
to 55 mph locally, and perhaps some small hail. An isolated severe
storm with winds to 60 mph and possible nickel to quarter-size hail
cannot be ruled out.

Activity will diminish through this evening with warm and muggy
conditions as eventual low temps fall into the L-M70s areawide.
Cloud cover from earlier storms thinning overnight. Winds will
gradually become a light offshore component once again later this
evening and overnight.

Previous Extended Forecast Discussion Slightly Modified...

Thursday-Sunday..Local wx pattern through this weekend will continue
to be dominated by a strong mid level ridge anchored across SOFL.
The surface ridge axis will drift north from near Lake Okeechobee to
the Cape Fri-Sat, then settle back southward by Mon. This will keep
hot conditions in place with maxes in the L90s near the coast and
mid to upper 90s inland, with heat indices peaking between 105-110
the next several afternoons. These values would be very close or at
Heat Advisory criteria for east central FL.

Given the strength and expected suppressive influence of the ridge,
not at all surprised to see the aggressive NBM POPs (40-60), which
we had been undercutting by 10-20 pct, drop back to near-slightly
below climo. The latest guidance shows 20 coast/30 inland Thu/Fri,
increasing to 30 coast/40-50 inland by Sunday, which was used for
this package.

Monday-Wednesday...Synoptic pattern breaks down as the strong ridge
shifts west across the GOMEX and over TX, allowing an eastern CONUS
trough to amplify into Florida. This should result in low level flow
veering to SW, along with increasing deep layer moisture, and higher
POPS having an earlier onset. Conservatively capped POPS at 50-60
for now given the extended (day 6-8) time frame but these can be
adjusted upward assuming guidance remains steadfast with this trend
for another run or two. Maxes remain a few degrees above normal Mon,
before dropping back to near climo Tue-Wed.

&&

.AVIATION...East coast sea breeze will spark isolated SHRA/TSRA as
it pushes inland west of MLB/VRB/FPR/SUA. Sea/lake breeze collisions
will increase coverage of TSRA aft 20Z esp MCO northward with some
push back to the east coast (DAB, TIX, possibly MLB). Strong wind
gusts 35-45 knots will occur in the stronger storms. Convection may
linger through 02Z-03Z before dissipating. On Thu, mainly VFR with
light W/SW winds turning onshore in a sea breeze along the coast 16Z-
18Z. Scattered TSRA will develop late in the day SFB/MCO/ISM.

&&

.MARINE...Afternoon-tonight...The Atlantic ridge axis remains across
the south-central FL peninsula. Favorable small craft boating
conditions outside of afternoon/evening showers/storms along the
coast. Seas around 2 ft near shore and 3 ft well offshore. Onshore
afternoon winds will become light offshore again this evening and
overnight. ISOLD aftn storms near the coast with sea breeze
formation and slow advancement inland. Some storms could be strong
to severe as they push toward the coast this evening from additional
boundary collisions across the interior. Storm steering flow remains
light and from the west.

Inland lakes are not immune from the effects of strong storms and
hazardous boating conditions can quickly develop over lakes with
gusty winds and frequent lightning. Be prepared to seek safe harbor
well before a storm approaches your area late this afternoon and
evening. Winds/seas locally higher invof storms.

Previous Extended Marine Forecast Discussion...

Thursday-Sunday...Favorable boating conditions will continue through
this weekend the surface ridge axis remains between Cape Canaveral
and Lake Okeechobee. This will maintain a light south to southwest
wind flow, with seas 2ft near shore and 3ft well offshore.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Isolated lightning storms may develop later into the afternoon along
the east coast sea breeze, before coverage of storms increases
across the interior from very late afternoon and early this evening,
as the east and west coast sea breezes come together. Storm motion
will be generally to the east at 10 to 15 mph north of I-4 and 5 to
10 mph southward, which could push some of the storms back toward
the east coast this evening. However, motion could be come more
erratic where boundaries merge. Strongest storms today will be
capable of producing wind gusts up to 50 mph as well as frequent
lightning and small hail. A severe storm or two is also possible
mainly across inland areas with the threats being damaging wind
gusts to 60 mph and perhaps hail up to one inch in diameter.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Slower-moving storms, especially where larger boundaries merge,
will be capable of torrential downpours resulting in 2 to 3 inches
of rainfall in a short period of time. This could result of ponding
of water on roadways and also localized flooding of low-lying and
poor-drainage areas.

.EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
The combination of afternoon temperatures getting into the low to
mid 90s with high relative humidity values will result in heat index
readings between 101 and 106 degrees across the region. If you will
be working or engaging in any outdoor activity today, be sure to
remain well-hydrated and take indoor rest breaks, preferably in an
air conditioned room.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
There is a Moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents at area
beaches today with the highest threat between 2 pm and 8 pm due to
tidal effects. Only swim within sight of a lifeguard.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Isolated storms that develop along the east coast sea breeze could
be pushed back toward the Intracoastal and near shore Atlantic
waters this afternoon. However, highest coverage will be across the
interior from late afternoon into this evening. Easterly storm
motion of 10 to 15 knots could bring some storms toward and offshore
of the Brevard and Volusia Coasts again this evening, and mariners
will need to keep a watchful eye for storms approaching from the
west. Threats with stronger storms will be frequent lightning, small
hail, and wind gusts in excess of 34 knots. A storm or two may also
become severe across the interior this evening with wind gusts up to
50 knots possible as well as hail up to one inch in diameter.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
A Moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents is expected into
the weekend at the beaches of east central Florida. The combination
of heat and humidity will produce heat index values in the 103 to
107 degree range on Thursday and Friday. A Heat Advisory may be
necessary for portions of east central Florida on Thursday.

Scattered lightning storms are expected each afternoon and early
evening through early next week. Frequent lightning strikes,
torrential downpours, small hail, and gusty winds are the main
threats with any stronger storms which will develop.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed this afternoon and tonight.
