Special Marine Warning 80, NWS Melbourne, FL

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
326 PM EDT Tue Jun 15 2021

.DISCUSSION...
Rest of Today...Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
are expected to continue this afternoon into this evening, moving
eastward at around 15 to 20mph. The 15Z XMR sounding late this
morning found 500mb temperatures around -8C, so small hail cannot
be ruled out from any stronger storm today. In addition, quick
storm motions have already produced gusts up to around 40mph as of
3pm. This threat will continue, with maximum wind gusts generally
around 45mph. However, enhanced convection due to boundary
collisions and upper- level support from the trough across
northern Florida could produce a storm or two capable of producing
an isolated severe wind gust. PWATs generally around 2", validated
by the 1.96" found in the XMR sounding, will provide ample
moisture for storms to be capable of producing torrential
downpours of 1-3" within a 60-90 minute period. Temporary ponding
or localized flooding of poorly drained roads, parking lots, and
low lying areas will be possible, especially in areas of training
storms and areas that have received heavy rainfall over the last
couple of days. Highs this afternoon expected to reach the upper
80s to low 90s.

Convection will taper off this evening, as lingering showers and
thunderstorms push offshore. Then, dry conditions for the
remainder of the overnight. Lows in the low to mid-70s.

Wednesday...Similar conditions continuing on Wednesday, though the
focus for higher moisture will generally shift south of
Melbourne. Also, upper level forcing will shift southward into
southern/south- central Florida on Wednesday, as a stronger upper
level trough pushes off of the Atlantic Coast, north of the local
area. Nonetheless, high coverage of showers and thunderstorms
expected, with PoPs 50-60% north of Melbourne and 60-70% to the
south. PWATs remaining around 1.8-2" will continue to produce
heavy rainfall in stronger showers and thunderstorms, with
forecast 500mb temperatures continuing around -8 to -9C.
Persistent westerly flow will again keep the highest coverage on
the eastern side of the peninsula, with easterly storm motions.
Shower and thunderstorm chances diminishing from the evening hours
into the overnight. Afternoon highs rising into the upper 80s to
low 90s.

Thu-Tue (previous)...As the stronger upper trough to the north
slips off of the mid Atlc coast into the western Atlc, mid-level
energy stymied across the southern peninsula on Thu returns back
northward (Fri- Sun). The surface ridge axis over the south-
central FL peninsula early in the period will advance northward
into the central peninsula into the weekend.

The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor an area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the Bay of Campeche (SW
GOMEX) associated with a broad trough of low pressure. Slow
development remains possible over the next few days while this
system moves slowly northward. A tropical depression could develop
late week as it moves across the central or northwestern Gulf.
Differences remain in medium range models for placement, timing, and
potential strength of any developing system, though it bears
watching.

For now, we continue mainly aftn/early evening, scattered showers
and lightning storms, for the remainder of the extended. The mainly
afternoon and evening activity will be the result of local sea
breeze interactions and diurnal effects. Highs will be in the U80s
to L90s with lows in the L-M70s.

&&

.AVIATION...
Deep layer westerly flow will push scattered showers and
storms quickly across the region and over the Atlantic waters into
this evening. Activity closely tied to diurnal heating should occur
through dusk in multiple episodes. Usage of tempo to describe
reduction to sky and cig elements over the next several hours, while
reserving the possibility of later amendments for sky and visibility
reduction below VFR through at least nightfall. Prevailing VFR aft
02z. On Wednesday, another round of rather showers and a few storms
is indicated as early as late morning, with an increasingly
favorable setup for scattered to numerous storms developing once
again during the afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
Rest of Today-Tonight...Showers and thunderstorms will continue to
push easterly into the Atlantic waters through the evening hours.
Then, chances diminishing into the overnight hours. Mariners should continue to
keep an eye to the sky westward/southward and seek safe harbor ahead
of approaching storms. Southwesterly flow persisting through the
night, generally around 10-15kts. However, winds will remain
around 15-20kts overnight across the offshore waters north of the
Volusia-Brevard County line. Small craft should exercise caution
in this area. Seas 2-4ft.

Wed-Sun (previous)...Conditions will remain favorable for
afternoon/evening lightning storms (some strong) across the ECFL
coastal waters. The offshore storm steering flow will become more
southerly on Fri/Sat, but revert back to SWRLY again on Sun.
Mariners should continue to keep an eye to the sky
westward/southward and seek safe harbor ahead of approaching
storms. Winds and seas locally higher ahead of storms.

There will remain a 10-15 kt SW surface wind component thru Wed
night, backing to S/SE on Fri-Sun, but occasional 15-20 kt winds for
a short time may be possible late afternoon/evening on Wed. Seas
generally 1-3 ft, but may approach 4 ft offshore on occasion thru
Wed night.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Showers and thunderstorms will increase and become scattered to
numerous into the afternoon. This will setup multiple rounds of
rain across Central Florida lasting through the evening. Movement
will be east-northeast around 15 to 20 mph as storms converge
toward the east-central Florida coast once again. Within stronger
storms, the primary threats will be gusty winds up to 45 mph, with
the chance that one or two could reach severe criteria having
gusts to 60 mph. There is a coincident chance for one-quarter to
one-half inch hail along with frequent lightning.

Locally heavy rain will also be a concern, especially given the
recent generous rainfall over previous days. This may cause travel
delays as driving becomes more challenging, especially if
localized urban and small stream flooding occurs within low-
lying and poor drainage areas.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Storms will be capable of producing torrential downpours of 1 to
3 inches in a 60 to 90 minute period, which may produce temporary
ponding or localized flooding of poorly drained roads, parking
lots, and low lying areas. Localized flooding is also possible
over areas where recurring thunderstorms repeatedly move across
the same locations.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
A few stronger storms may produce wind gusts to around 45 knots on
inland lakes, as well as the intracoastal and nearshore Atlantic
waters today. Boaters should watch for storms approaching from the
west.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Small craft should exercise caution over the offshore waters for
southwest winds of 15 to 20 knots.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are forecast each afternoon
and early evening. A few stronger storms will be possible each
day, with cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, gusty winds and
torrential downpours. Offshore moving storms will also pose a
threat for locally higher winds and seas to mariners.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed.
