Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
357 PM EDT Fri Jul 9 2021

.DISCUSSION...
Current-Tonight... Isolated to scattered showers and storms ongoing
across the Treasure Coast, and across areas north of Sanford. The
east coast sea breeze is beginning to move inland, with the ECSB
along the Treasure coast moving inland faster. Boundary collisions
between the east and west coast sea breeze, as well as outflow
boundaries, will result in additional shower and storm development.
Thus, expect scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms
later this afternoon and evening, with 60-70 percent PoPs areawide
through early evening. A few showers and lightning storms may linger
past sunset as they drift towards the Atlantic. Forecast soundings
continue to support higher rain chances across ECFL this afternoon
with PW values ranging from 1.99-2.11". However, the 15Z XMR
sounding came in with a PW value of 1.84", which is a little less
than this morning's sounding. Winds are variable around 5 mph across
the interior and Southeast around 5-10 mph along the coast. Tonight,
winds will generally be from the southwest and light. Overnight lows
will be low to mid 70s under partly cloudy skies.

Saturday... Upper level high pressure system will set up over the
Florida Peninsula early on Saturday, as a surface high pressure
ridge axis builds into southern Florida through the day. Deep
moisture over the local area, with PW values of 1.90-2.05", will
continue to linger as the weak pressure gradient allows for a
typical summer-time pattern. Thus, high PoPs once again, with
highest rain chances (70 percent) across the interior and 50-60
percent for the rest of the CWA in the afternoon. Scattered to
numerous showers and lightning storms are expected, particularly
along boundary collision between outflow boundaries and the east and
west coast sea breeze in the afternoon. A few of the showers and
storms may linger into the evening hours as they drift towards the
coastal areas. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s
under partly cloudy skies. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid
70s under partly cloudy skies.

Sunday-Monday... (Modified Previous Discussion) The surface ridge
axis will begin the shift northward on Sunday, as mid/upper level
high pressure shifts to the western Atlantic and strengthens through
Monday. During this time, an upper level low will pivot around the
southern edge of the high pressure, maintaining high moisture across
the peninsula, albeit slightly drier than previous days, with PWATs
closer to 2". Thus, not expecting large changes in the PoP trend
from Saturday. However, increasingly onshore flow as the high
strengthens will cause the highest PoP coverage to shift to the
western side of the peninsula during the afternoons, especially on
Monday. PoPs generally 60-70% on Sunday, decreasing slightly to
around 50-60% on Monday. Afternoon highs each day in the upper 80s
to low 90s. Morning lows in the low to mid-70s, possibly remaining
in the upper 70s along the immediate coast by Monday night thanks to
onshore flow.

Tuesday-Thursday... (Previous Discussion) Surges of higher moisture
will continue through mid-week, as the mid/upper level ridge and
surface high pressure linger along the Carolina coast. PoPs
remaining around 50-60% each day, but persistent onshore flow will
continue to keep the highest shower and thunderstorm chances across
the western half of the peninsula. By Thursday, models suggest the
ridge axis may shift southward a bit, decreasing the amount of
available moisture. So, have kept PoPs that afternoon at a modest 30-
40%. No change to the forecast temperature trend though, with
afternoon highs remaining in the upper 80s to low 90s and morning
lows in the low to mid-70s. Upper 70s will still be possible along
the immediate coast.

&&

.AVIATION...
A few storms developed along the east coast sea breeze
from KSUA to KVRB but these dissipated by 09/19z. The sea breeze
will continue to move inland and as it collides with the west coast
sea breeze and lingering boundaries, new development of SHRA/TSRA is
expected through the rest of the afternoon. Some of these storms
will have the potential to generate gusty winds of 20-30 kt,
MVFR/IFR CIG/VIS and lightning strikes. Coverage and intensity of
storms should then diminish near sunset. VFR returning this evening
through Sat morning as SHRA/TSRA dissipate or move away from the
terminals.

&&

.MARINE...
Current-Tonight... Quieter start to the afternoon than yesterday.
Isolated showers ongoing over the Atlantic waters, mainly across
far northern Volusia waters and far southern Brevard waters.
Additional showers and lightning storms are expected to form as
the east and west coast sea breeze collide across the interior and
then move out towards the Atlantic. Current buoy 41109
observations show seas are 2 ft with winds less than 5 KT. Winds
will generally be west to southwest overnight around 5 Kt. Seas
will be 1-3 ft.

Saturday...(Modified Previous Discussion) Deeper moisture remaining
over the local area will produce scattered to numerous showers and
lightning storms during the afternoon as the east and west coast sea
breezes collide over the interior and move out into the Atlantic. A
few of these showers and storms may linger into the evening
hours. Otherwise, generally S/SE winds remaining around 10 KT or
less as low level ridging develops, keeping the pressure gradient
weak. Seas 1-2ft.

Sunday-Tuesday... (Previous Discussion) The ridge axis moves
northward Sunday, as high pressure strengthens off of the Carolina
coast through mid-week. This will develop increasingly onshore flow,
mainly SE on Sunday, becoming ESE Monday and Tuesday. Onshore flow
will keep much of the afternoon convective activity on the western
side of the peninsula, decreasing the chance for any showers and
storms to drift eastward toward the local Atlantic waters. Wind
speeds increasing slightly through the period, initially around
10kts on Sunday, becoming 10-15kts into Tuesday. Seas also building
a bit, from 1-2ft on Sunday to 3-4ft on Tuesday.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Numerous afternoon showers and lightning storms are expected
across east central Florida again today. Storm motion will be
eastward, ranging from 10 to 15 mph north of greater Orlando and
Titusville, to around 5 mph from southern Osceola and Brevard
Counties to Lake Okeechobee and Tequesta. Today's storm threats
will be frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes, torrential
downpours and wind gusts to around 45 mph. Move indoors at the
first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Temporary poor drainage flooding of roads and urban areas from
downpours of 2 to 3 inches in a 60 to 90 minute period, will be
possible. This threat will be the highest south of Lake Kissimmee
and Melbourne, where storm motion will be slower. Never drive into
water of unknown depth, and reduce your speed when approaching a
torrential downpour.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Storms will be capable of producing wind gusts of around 35 knots
over inland lakes and the Intracoastal and nearshore Atlantic
waters, mainly north of Sebastian Inlet. Move to safe harbor in
advance of storms that will approach from the west this afternoon.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A Moderate risk for life-threatening rip currents continues at
the central Florida Atlantic beaches today. While dangerous rip
currents will be present all day, the threat will be the highest
between 11 AM and 5 PM, due to tidal effects. Remember to swim
only within sight of a lifeguard and never enter the ocean alone.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
Numerous afternoon and early evening showers and lightning storms
are expected again across east central Florida for the next
several days, with cloud to ground lightning strikes, torrential
downpours and gusty winds continuing to be the main storm threats.

A moderate risk for potentially life-threatening rip currents will
continue through this weekend and early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
