Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
409 PM EDT Sun Jun 13 2021

.DISCUSSION...

Current-Tonight...Scattered showers ongoing, mainly from Brevard
northward. Cell movement is towards the east around 15 to 20 mph.
Additional showers and lightning storms may develop from collisions
between outflow boundaries and the sea breeze as well as convection
moving into the local area from the north and west. Any showers and
storms that form will move south and eastward offshore and towards
the Atlantic. Forecast soundings show PW values of 1.8-2.0 inches
across the north, further supporting convection primarily across the
north and along the coast. Main impacts from storms this afternoon
and evening will be heavy rain, frequent cloud- to- ground
lightning, gusty winds up to 45 mph, and small hail. Winds are SE/
SSE around 10 mph this afternoon with the passage of the east coast
sea breeze. Winds are then expected to veer to the SW overnight and
decrease to around 5 mph. Afternoon temperatures continue to be hot,
with afternoon highs in the low 90s under party to mostly cloudy
skies. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 70s under mostly
cloudy skies before becoming partly cloudy after midnight.

Monday... A mid to upper level weak trough will be over central
Florida on Monday and will slowly move southward across the
peninsula through the day. Southwest flow will continue through the
morning and early afternoon, before an east coast sea breeze forms
and pushes onshore in the mid to late afternoon. Wind speeds will be
around 5 mph in the morning before increasing to around 10 mph in
the afternoon, with higher winds along the coast. Deeper moisture
over most of east central FL, along with surface heating, and
boundary collisions, will allow for increased coverage in showers
and storms (80% PoPs) in the early to mid afternoon, with additional
showers and storms expected through early evening before dissipating
by mid evening. Due to the SW flow, convection will once again
initialize along the west coast, and move eastward around 15 KT.
Temperatures will be hot once again with afternoon highs in the
upper 80s to low 90s under mostly cloudy skies. Overnight lows will
be in the low to mid 70s under mostly cloudy skies.

Tuesday... (Modified Previous Discussion) Weak troughing aloft over
central FL will continue to slowly push southward across the FL
peninsula during this period. This will continue to allow deeper
moisture to overspread most of east central FL. Increased moisture,
surface heating, boundary collisions, and energy aloft should permit
for 60pct PoPs on Tue for the afternoon and early evening hours. A
moderate westerly steering flow will aid in keeping the majority of
showers and storms on the eastern side of the peninsula late day.
Activity should taper off thru mid to late evening with some
additional convection over the local coastal waters overnight. Highs
in the U80s to L90s each day, with overnight lows in the 70s.

Wed-Sun... (Previous Discussion) The aforementioned weak upper
troughing slips into the southern peninsula on Wed with some of this
mid-level energy possibly returning northward (Fri-Sun). The surface
ridge axis over the FL Straits and southern FL peninsula early in
the period will advance northward into the central peninsula thru
late week. The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor an
area of cloudiness and showers over the Bay of Campeche in the SW
GOMEX. Slow development remains possible over the next several days
while this system moves slowly northward. Differences remain in
medium range models for placement, timing, and potential strength of
any developing system this far out.

Higher PoPs continue (near 60pct) on Wed, then due to uncertainty
into late week (perhaps drier air) will keep scattered showers and
lightning storms in the forecast until things become a bit clearer.
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...  Scattered storms along the Space Coast will move
offshore through 6 PM. Additional storms will move across portions
of north central Florida, and near the I-4 corridor through 7 PM.
General coverage should be isolated from late afternoon through
nightfall, mainly due to earlier activity. Terminals mainly along
the east coast have a period of TS mentioned while reserving the
possibility of later amendments for sky and visibility reduction
below VFR through nightfall. Activity should be largely east of the
coast after 02Z.

On Monday, another round of rather early showers and a few storms is
indicated as early as mid-morning with an increasingly favorable
setup for numerous to widespread storms developing during the
afternoon.

&&

.Marine...
Current-Tonight... Scattered to numerous showers and storms ongoing,
pushing from the coast out into the Atlantic and moving east at 20
KT, mainly from Cape Canaveral northward. Additional showers and
storms are expected from the west through this afternoon and into
early evening as collisions occur between outflow boundaries and the
sea breeze and the resulting convection moves eastward offshore.
Current buoy 41009 observations shows seas are 2 ft with a dominant
period of 10 seconds. Seas will continue to be 2-3 ft overnight.
Winds will be in a general S/SE flow this afternoon with speeds
around 7-12 KT before veering to the SW overnight.

Monday... A weak trough over the area will continue to keep the
offshore flow in place around 10-15KT with higher gusts possible.
Showers and storms are expected to form overland and move eastward
and offshore around 15 to 20 KT with the steering flow in the
afternoon and evening. Seas will be 2-3ft with a dominant period of
9 seconds.

Tue-Fri...(Modified previous discussion) Weak troughing over the
region will keep an offshore steering flow for afternoon/evening
lightning storms (some strong) across ECFL. Mariners should keep an
eye to the sky westward and seek safe harbor ahead of approaching
storms. There will remain a 10-15 kt SW/W component of wind thru mid-
week, backing to S/SE on Friday, but occasional 15-20 kt winds for a
short time may be possible late afternoon/evening on a couple of
days. Seas generally 1-3 ft, but could approach 4 ft well offshore
from Cape Canaveral northward on occasion. Winds and seas locally
higher ahead of storms.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
An earlier start to scattered lightning storms today as they move
East around 20 mph across east central Florida from late this
morning through the afternoon. The primary threats in the stronger
storms will be gusty winds up to 50 mph, frequent lightning strikes
and heavy rain. If threatening weather approaches or thunder is
heard, seek shelter in an enclosed building or automobile. Picnic
shelters and porches offer no protection from the dangers of
lightning.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Storms will be capable of producing torrential downpours of 1 to
2 inches in a 60 to 90 minute period, which may produce ponding or
temporary poor drainage flooding of poorly drained roads, urban
and low lying areas. Flooding is also possible over areas where
training of thunderstorms occur.

.EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
Peak heat index values between 102 and 104 degrees is forecast over
much of east central Florida. Remember to drink plenty of water and
take frequent breaks from spending time outside for prolonged
periods of time.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
There is a moderate risk for life-threatening rip currents at all
Central Florida Atlantic beaches.

.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.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
Scattered-to-numerous thunderstorms are forecast each afternoon
and early evening, with the activity increasing in coverage today
into early next week. 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. A moderate
risk of rip currents will also continue.

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