Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 9:38 PM EDT, 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 938 PM EDT Mon Aug 1 2022 .DISCUSSION... Current-Overnight...A little cooler aloft (-8C at 500 mb) and additional moisture allowing for more convection than we have seen recently from evening sea breeze collision just west of Lake George through western Orange and northwest Osceola counties. With the later collision and slow movement of activity, expect convection will wind down through late evening, with a few cells possibly hanging on past midnight across the interior. SE flow near 10 mph behind the sea breeze will become light and generally southerly overnight. Mins will slowly fall into the M-U70s late tonight into Tue morning. Tuesday (modified previous)...The Atlantic ridge will remain draped over central Florida with predominate south to southeasterly flow. Guidance indicates that weak troughing will setup over northern Florida. Additionally, weak pulses of energy are expected near the area as a weak inverted trough continues to diminish while approaching the east coast of Florida. Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms are expected across central Florida in the afternoon and evening. The highest chances for rain will be across the interior (~50-60%) with lower chances near the coast (~30-40%). Drier air and cooler temps (~-7C) aloft will mean that any strong storms that develop will have the potential to produce wind gusts up to 50 mph, frequent lightning strikes, heavy rainfall, minor flooding due to slow/erratic storm motion, and small hail. High temperatures will reach the low 90s along the coast and mid 90s inland. && .AVIATION...VFR conditions outside of convection. A late sea breeze collision over the interior will produce ISOLD to SCT lightning storms this evening. VCTS at KMCO/KSFB/KISM/KLEE through 02/03Z. TEMPO MVFR in convection. Winds become light and variable to calm overnight. High pops (50-60pct) across most of east central FL on Tue, and VCTS at all terminals. VCTS to start along the coast around 16-17Z and at inland terminals around 18Z. Not enough confidence for TEMPOs at this time but will likely need to be added with future TAF packages. && .MARINE...Overnight-Tue...Favorable boating conditions are forecast to continue. The Atlantic ridge will remain elongated across the area with south to southeasterly winds. A few showers may develop again late tonight into early Tue morning offshore from the Treasure Coast. SE winds around 10-12 kts veering SW and diminishing to 5-10 kts through daybreak. Seas 2-3ft. Expect winds around 10-12 kts to develop in the afternoon Tue along the coast with the sea breeze. && .MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None. AM...None. && Sedlock/Rodriguez/Law

Scattered strong thunderstorms this evening, resulting from sea breeze boundary collisions over the interior, will produce strong wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph, frequent to excessive lightning strikes, torrential downpours, and coin-size hail. This activity may hold together long enough to propagate back to the Brevard County coast with gusty outflow winds arriving well ahead of any precipitation. Move indoors to safety at the first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Scattered thunderstorms this evening from sea breeze collisions across the central peninsula may produce wind gusts in excess of 40 knots across inland lakes. A large outflow boundary propagating eastward across eastern Orange and northern Osceola counties may hold together to make it to the Brevard County coast and then across the intracoastal and near shore Atlantic waters well ahead of any showers or storms and may produce wind gusts of 30 to 40 knots. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. Coverage of rain and lightning storms will gradually increase this week, especially during the latter half of the week, as moisture increases. The east coast sea breeze will continue to focus the highest coverage of afternoon and evening storms along and west of Interstate 95. The strongest storms will be capable of gusty winds, frequent lightning strikes, and torrential downpours. Afternoon temperatures in the low to mid 90s and peak heat index values of 100 to 105 are expected through the week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed tonight.
