Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
1030 AM EST Sat Feb 6 2021

.DISCUSSION...

...Potential for Strong to Severe Storms This Afternoon Into
Tonight...

Stalled frontal boundary across central FL will lift slowly
northward through the afternoon, shifting just north of Lake and
Volusia counties around late afternoon/early evening. Increasing
moisture and instability will occur across the area as front lifts
north, with scattered showers and storms initially developing
across areas south of Orlando through Okeechobee/Treasure Coast
region into the late morning and afternoon, lifting to the N/NE
and offshore. A few stronger storms may occur with this activity
through the afternoon, producing strong wind gusts and small hail.
However, greater potential for strong to severe storms will be
across areas near to north of the I-4 corridor from later today
into tonight, as W/SW flow strengthens to 40-50 knots from
925-700mb. This will lead to a greater potential of strong to
locally damaging straight line winds up to 40-60mph with any
storms. However, 0-1km storm-relative helicity around 200 m2/s2
and cold temps aloft (around -12 to -13C) will also keep a threat
of a few tornadoes and small to quarter sized hail, mainly north
of Orlando into the evening.

A shortwave mid-level trough moving across the center CONUS and
into the Deep South will induce a weak surface low across the
northern Gulf of Mexico. As this low moves across northern Florida
and up the SE U.S. Coast, it will shift frontal boundary back
southward across the area overnight. Lingering showers and storms
ahead of this boundary will shift gradually southward as well,
through the I-4 corridor and Osceola/Brevard counties with strong
to isolated severe storms continuing to be possible with this
activity overnight through early Sunday morning.

&&

.AVIATION...
Widespread MVFR/localized IFR cigs have spread across the area
with stalled frontal boundary across the region. Some improvement
of conditions expected into the late morning and afternoon to VFR
expected, as cloud cover lifts and breaks up as front begins to
shift back north and as daytime heating continues. However, tempo
IFR/MVFR conditions will still occur with increasing showers and
storms, initially across areas south of Orlando into the
afternoon, and then near to north of the I-4 corridor from late
day into this evening. Strong to severe storms will be possible
across the area, especially north of Orlando into tonight.

Showers and storms will begin to slowly shift back southward then
into the overnight through early morning Sunday with a few
stronger storms still possible, as cold front shifts back south
across the region.

&&

.MARINE...
Today-Tonight...(Modified Previous Discussion) Weak stalled front
across central Florida will lift back north this afternoon. Winds
will veer onshore north of the boundary while remaining southerly
to the south. As the front lifts back north, winds will return to
SE/S this afternoon and then southerly this evening. Front will
return back toward the south as a cold front will approach this
evening with winds veering southwesterly out ahead of it. A
caution statement will likely be needed across the offshore waters
this evening and tonight as winds will increase to 15-20 kt.

Mariners will also need to watch for fast-moving showers or storms
approaching from the southwest mainly south of Sebastian Inlet from
late this morning and into this afternoon.  Additional showers may
develop and move offshore farther north into this afternoon.
However, higher convective coverage and better potential for
strong to severe storms moving offshore this evening and tonight,
will occur mainly north of Cape Canaveral. Stronger storms may
produce winds in excess of 35 knots, and conditions do support the
potential for waterspouts.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
This morning through afternoon, scattered to numerous showers and
isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop
across the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee counties that may produce
wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph, small hail, and frequent lightning
strikes.

This evening into early Sunday morning, showers and strong to
isolated severe thunderstorms are then expected to develop
north of Interstate 4 and move to the northeast along a line
ahead of a cold front pushing to the southeast. Impacts expected
with these storms will be wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph, frequent
lightning, hail that could reach an inch in diameter, and heavy
downpours. A few tornadoes cannot be ruled out mainly north of
Orlando and the Cape.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Fast-moving showers and storms that develop today and tonight will
be capable of producing wind gusts of 35 to 40 knots and up to 50
knots in the strongest storms. This will be primarily south of
Sebastian Inlet this afternoon and then areas to the north this
evening and tonight. Mariners will need to keep an eye out for
showers and storms quickly approaching from the south and west.

.WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
Strongest storms that develop today and tonight may produce a few
waterspouts over the Atlantic coastal waters.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
There is a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the beaches
of east central Florida. If planning on entering the chilly surf,
only do so at a life guarded beach, and never enter the water
alone.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
South to southwest winds will increase to 15 to 20 knots this
evening and tonight with seas building to 5 to 6 feet beyond 20
nautical miles offshore. Small craft should exercise caution.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
A line of numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms will
continue to push to the southeast on Sunday morning into early
Sunday afternoon for areas mainly south of a line from Kissimmee
and the Cape as a cold front continues to push through the area.
strong gusty winds, frequent lightning, and heavy downpours will
be the primary hazards with these storms.

The rip current risk will remain moderate at area beaches on
Sunday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed
following local safety orders.

242 PM EST Sat Feb 6 2021

...SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ADVISORY FOR CENTRAL BREVARD COUNTY...

At 241 PM EST, a strong thunderstorm was located near Camp Holly Fish
Camp, moving northeast at 25 mph.

Funnel clouds and winds in excess of 40 mph are possible with this
storm.

Locations impacted include...
Melbourne, Rockledge, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach.

This storm may intensify so be certain to monitor local radio
stations and available television stations for additional information
and possible warnings from the National Weather Service.

Funnel clouds can occasionally touch down and produce brief small
tornadoes. Move indoors and stay away from windows.

Local atmospheric conditions are for the possibility of landspout
formation. A landspout is a tornado of very short duration and winds
generally less than 60 mph which can cause minor damage and injuries
in its direct path. If this trend continues, a tornado warning may
be issued shortly. Stay tuned to NOAA weather radio and local media
for additional updates and possible warnings.

To report severe weather, contact your nearest law enforcement
agency. They can relay your report to the National Weather Service
office in Melbourne.

If you are on or near any lake or the Intracoastal Waterway in
central Brevard County, get out of the water and move indoors or
inside a vehicle. Remember, lightning can strike out to 10 miles
from the parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are close
enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not
be caught on the water in a thunderstorm.
