Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
1035 AM EDT Sat Jun 18 2022

.DISCUSSION...

...Dangerous Heat Index Values Today with a Threat for Strong
Thunderstorms...

Current...A more active day is expected as a surface trough and
weak frontal boundary drag south through the area. As of late
morning, a large area of convection extends along the FL/GA border
soon to reach Jacksonville and the outer periphery of the KMLB
radar. Added a slight chance of thunderstorms to areas generally
north of I-4 to account for motion of these storms, but the
greater threat for strong to severe weather will arrive later in
the day. Locally, conditions remain clear and quiet with a few
onshore streaming mid- level clouds along the Volusia and Space
coasts.

Today-Tonight...As the trough and frontal boundary shift southward,
forecast PW will rise from the 1.60" detected in the 10Z XMR
sounding to near 2.00" by the mid afternoon. This will lead to the
highest coverage of showers and storms seen all week, with an
atypical development pattern. CAMs predict a large scale boundary
and associated convection dipping south through the area similar to
what is depicted in current radar imagery, with activity enhanced
along additional outflows and the developing east coast sea breeze.
Timing still remains a bit uncertain, with most meso models holding
off on widespread convection until the latter half of the afternoon,
with activity lingering beyond sunset especially for the Treasure
Coast and Lake Okeechobee. Still, regardless of timing, parameters
are supportive of strong to marginally severe storms, those typical
of summertime afternoon convection in Florida. Temps at 500mb
dropped to -10C which is a bit cooler than forecast soundings
suggested, so confidence has increased in the potential for
sustainable strong storms. Highest coverage of 60% PoP is favored
over the interior, but zippering storms along the east coast sea
breeze (Volusia & Brevard) are also anticipated as well.

In addition to the threat for strong storms will be the oppressive
and above normal heat as afternoon highs climb to the mid to upper
90s and even reaching 100F across the interior. Max heat index
values will reach above 108 and even towards 110-111F between 1pm-
4pm, prompting the need for a Heat Advisory for portions of the
area. While it will be very hot today, the timing of storms later
this afternoon may prevent the hottest temperatures from actually
being reached, but confidence in the timing of rain is lower than
the confidence in heat. By dusk, temperatures will fall back to the
upper 80s.

&&

.AVIATION...
Approaching boundary from the north will increase the chance for
afternoon convection at all site as it interacts with the east coast
sea breeze. 12Z package added TEMPO groups for all sites except
those south of KMLB with increasing confidence in MVFR/IFR impacts
and gusty winds associated with storms. Activity already developing
over KJAX this morning and will shift towards KDAB/KLEE by 18-19Z,
moving through the forecast area into the evening. VFR outside of
convection.

&&

.MARINE...
Current through tonight...(previous) Winds have been steadily
veering from S-SW this morning, and this trend will continue as
flow becomes WSW to W this afternoon through tonight. Winds will
temporarily back to SE near the Treasure Coast, possibly as far
north as Cape Canaveral, but will shift back to light west
overnight. Given steering flow and sea breeze considerations,
threat for strong Atlantic storms appears to be limited to areas
from the Cape northward. Speeds AOB 15kt with seas 2-3ft.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
Hot and increasingly humid conditions will be felt across east
central Florida today. Afternoon temperatures will reach the lower
to mid 90s across the Space and Treasure Coast counties, with
widespread readings in the upper 90s across the remainder of the
region. Combined with the humidity, peak heat index readings will
top out between 102 and 107 degrees over the Treasure Coast, and
108 to 112 degrees across the interior, and inland sections of
Volusia and Brevard counties, where a Heat Advisory is in effect.

NEVER leave small children or pets unattended inside a vehicle,
even for a short period of time. If you will be engaged in any
sort of outdoor activity, keep well-hydrated, and take frequent
indoor rest breaks, preferably in an air-conditioned area.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Along with the increasingly humid, unstable conditions will come
a higher coverage of afternoon and evening lightning storms. Some
of the storms could produce wind gusts of 50 mph or greater, hail
up to one inch, frequent lightning and torrential rainfall amounts
between 1 and 3 inches, which could cause ponding of water on area
roads, and temporary urban and poor drainage flooding.

Storm motion will be toward the south at 10 to 15 mph. Always move
indoors to safety at the first sign of threatening skies, or if
you hear thunder.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents continues in the surf
zone along the central Florida Atlantic beaches today. While rip
currents will be present all day, the risk will be highest through
900 AM this morning, and again from 300 PM through sunset due to
tidal effects. To reduce your risk of becoming caught in the
seaward pull of a rip current, swim only within sight of a
lifeguard, and never enter the ocean alone.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Boaters should be on the lookout for strong storms capable of
producing wind gusts in excess of 35 knots, lightning and hail
approaching from the north today. The greatest chance for storms
will be over interior lakes as well as the Intracoastal and
nearshore Atlantic waters north of Cape Canaveral.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
Coverage of afternoon and evening showers and storms will remain
high Sunday and Monday as a weak frontal boundary drops into the
area and stalls. A few strong storms will remain possible. Storm
chances will decrease from Tuesday onward, as conditions become
increasingly hot and dry once again through mid to late week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed in
the event of warning issuance. Please report any flooding, or
rainfall amounts greater than 2 inches to the National Weather
Service in Melbourne.
