Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
1044 PM EST Thu Feb 6 2020

.UPDATE...
A Tornado Watch was issued for most of east central FL (from Lake
County to Okeechobee and Indian River counties)this evening until
at least 3 am. At 1030 pm, the line was extending from north of
Tampa Bay to Ocala and moving eastward quickly. The first warning
for Severe Thunderstorm has already been issued, stay weather
aware overnight as this line has the potential to produce damaging
winds and possibly a tornado or two.

&&

.AVIATION...
Tempos in TAFs were delayed by 1-3 hrs on average as the line is
about to reach KLEE. TAFs will be amended as necessary and behind
the line as weather clears the terminals.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 754 PM EST Thu Feb 6 2020/

.DISCUSSION...

...Tornado Watch Likely for Portions of East Central Florida...
...Line of Strong to Potentially Severe Storms Moving Through
the Area Tonight...

Strong squall line was extending at 8 pm from the eastern Gulf to
the NE FL panhandle to southern Georgia. Most of the weather and
strong winds were just ahead of the main line and it is expected
to continue to move to the east tonight. A few showers have been
able to develop from Osceola to southern Volusia but these are
moving quite fast (~50 mph) so accumulations of rainfall, if any,
has been minimal. Atmosphere conditions remain unstable and
favorable for storms moving with the line to be strong to severe.
As of right now, the line will approach Lake county after 11pm and
move quickly eastward.

The Daytona Beach NWR transmitter remains out of service. So for
those that use this transmitter, make sure you have other ways to
receive severe weather warnings, like weather apps or local media.
Local products will be updated in the case a watch gets issued for
east central FL.

&&

.AVIATION...
Strong south-southwest winds will continue tonight 15-20 kt
sustained with gusts to 25 to 35 kts. Squall line will approach
KLEE around 04z but quick SHRAs could impact the terminals in the
next few hours, producing gusts of 40-50 kt. As the squall line
and embedded TSRA reach the terminals through the night, expect
winds to possibly gust to 40-40 kt while changing direction from
SW to W, lightning, and heavy rain reducing visibilities.
Terminals will experience strong winds and heavy rain for at least
one hour. Then winds will stay from the west behind the line
through Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Strong to near-gale sustained winds have been observed across the
central FL Atlantic waters tonight with gusts up to 33 kt at buoy
41009. Gale Warning remains in effect for the offshore waters
while a Small Craft Advisory for the nearshore. As a strong squall
line moves over the waters later tonight, winds will shift from
SSW to W and remain strong from the west on Fri.
