Area Forecast Discussion

.DISCUSSION...

Rest of Today-Tonight... The cold front is currently located across
central Florida, and is forecast to slowly moving southward through
this afternoon and early evening. An early start to convection this
morning, with showers and storms continuing to move southward with
the approach of the cold front. The line of storms is beginning to
weaken as they move southward and towards the Atlantic waters, which
is in agreement with what the HRRR model has been trying to show
today. The front and associated showers and storms are expected to
continue to move southward through the CWA this afternoon, and
exiting the Treasure Coast by this evening. The main impacts with
the stronger of these storms will be gusty winds up to 40 to 45 mph,
frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, and torrential downpours.
Westerly winds around 10 mph this afternoon, will veer to the NW by
late afternoon and early evening before becoming N/NE tonight and
decrease to around 5 mph. Behind the front, expect cool dry air with
clearing skies.

Warm once again today, with afternoon highs in the upper 80s and low
90s, with the higher temperatures occurring along the Treasure Coast.
Overnight lows will drop into the low 60s, except across Martin
county where lows will drop into mid to upper 60s.

Monday... A surface high pressure will build over the local area on
Monday and remain anchored there through the day. The cold front is
forecast to clear the Florida peninsula early Monday morning as the
associated low pressure located by the northeast U.S will continue
to pull northward. Locally, conditions will be dry with no
mentionable rain chances through the day with mostly sunny skies.
Winds will be NE around 5 mph in the morning before increasing to
around 10-12 mph in the afternoon. Temperatures will be slightly
cooler than they have been the last couple days, with afternoon
highs only reaching in the low 80s.

modified prev disc...

Tuesday-Thursday...Dry and warmer conditions forecast to prevail
through much of the week, as sfc high builds SE off the Mid-
Atlantic coast and ridge aloft extends NE across the Gulf and FL.
Onshore winds will progressively veer to E/SE through Thursday.
Highs will range from the low 80s along the coast and mid 80s
inland from through midweek, and then increase to the mid to upper
80s on Thu. Overnight lows will remain in the M-U60s.

Friday-Saturday...Consensus of more recent global guidance
indicating a fairly dry solution into at least Friday and the
blended Model guidance reflects this with introduction of small
PoP Friday, with somewhat better chances Saturday, as the ridge
in proximity and east of the area breaks down in response to a
northern stream trough moving offshore the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Will bump up shower coverage slightly Sat with a mentionable but
lower chc as well during Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...Ongoing showers and storms from KMLB southward. A cold
front located across central Florida is making its way southward,
and is expected to exit the Treasure Coast by this evening. Have
included VCSH from KMCO southward through 21/23Z. VFR conditions
through the TAF period. Behind the front, expect clearing skies and
dry conditions with no mentionable rain chances through most of the
week. Westerly winds around 10 KT this afternoon will decrease and
veer to the N/NE around 5 KT overnight before increasing to around
12KT by mid morning tomorrow.

&&

.MARINE...
Rest of Today-Tonight... Ongoing showers and storms over the
Atlantic waters, mainly over the Brevard county waters. A cold front
is currently located across central Florida and is slowly moving
southward. The cold front, and associated convection, is forecast to
continue to move southward, exiting the Treasure Coast waters by
this evening. Current buoy 41009 observations show seas are around 2
ft. West to northwest winds around 10-15 KT this afternoon and
evening will veer north/northeast tonight.

Monday... A high pressure system will build over the local waters
during the day on Monday and will remain for much of the week. Drier
air will filter into the local area behind the front, allowing for
no mentionable rain chances on Monday. Winds will be from the NE
around 10-15 KT through the time frame. Seas are forecast to be 2-3
ft in the nearshore waters and 4-5 ft in the offshore waters.

Tuesday-Thursday...High pressure building SE off the Mid-Atlantic
coast during the period. Onshore winds veer E to SE Tue-Thu. Wind
speeds around 14-17 knots from Mon night-Tue, and then diminish
to 10-15 knots Wed-Thu. Seas 4-5 feet Tue decrease to 4 feet or
less toward mid-week.
