Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
412 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2023

.DISCUSSION...

...Risk For Severe Storms This Morning...

Today...A cold front stretches from a 999mb low over the GA/AL
border southward into the eastern Gulf of Mexico. KXMR (Cape
Canaveral) did a special 06Z sounding which shows some dry air in
the low and mid levels which may be a result of the stabilization
that occurred from the convective system late yesterday. The
sounding also depicts a strong S/SW low level jet of 50-60 knots.
Expect low level moisture advection to occur over the area in the
next few hours. Combined with forced ascent associated with a mid
level trough and deep layer shear, there exists a risk of strong
to severe storms spreading across east central FL over the next 8
hours. Most concerning is the risk of tornadoes in this highly
sheared environment despite the limited instability. A strong
tornado cannot be ruled out. The risk of severe storms will begin
shortly (4am-6am) along and north of I 4 (incl NW Osceola) then
spreading quickly SE across Brevard around sunrise then
Okeechobee/Treasure coast counties during the daylight morning
hours. All convection should be offshore Martin county by Noon or
shortly thereafter.

Decreasing cloudiness expected behind the front with increasing
sunshine from north to south during the day. West winds 20-30 mph
behind the front with gusts to 40 mph will produce a windy day and
has prompted a Wind Advisory.

Tonight...West winds will decrease to 10 mph under mostly clear
skies and temperatures falling into the lower to mid 60s by
morning.

Monday-Tuesday... A much different weather pattern will set up to
kick off the workweek. Guidance indicates that an elongated
longwave trough over the central CONUS will nudge east-northeast
across the eastern CONUS as the western Atlantic ridge breakdown
and shifts east. At the same time, the 250mb jet maxima (~110kts)
associated with a southern branch of the upper-level jet stream
will move downstream of central Florida which will shift upper-
level support away from the area. Much drier conditions are
forecast to filter in on the back side of the trough through
midweek with weak high pressure to the south and west of Florida.
Expect relatively weak west to southwest flow with temperatures in
the low to upper 80s for afternoon highs. Lows will be a little
cooler with temperatures expected to drop into the upper 50s to
low 60s.

Wednesday-Saturday... A weak frontal boundary will clip the area to
the north into Wednesday which will shift flow from the west-
northwest Wednesday and northerly on Thursday. High pressure will
build over the Deep Southeast and the eastern Gulf of Mexico behind
the front which will keep us socket into a dry airmass (PWAT values
around 0.5-1"). Then, model guidance signals that flow will shift
onshore by Friday, before a mid/upper level shortwave trough
traverses the Peninsula into the weekend. Thus, PoPs and mentionable
rain chances will creep back up into the weekend. Expect high
temperatures generally in the low 80s to near 90 degrees each
afternoon. Lows will drop into the low 50s to low 60s Thursday, then
mid 50s to mid 60s thereafter.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 230 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2023

Today...Very hazardous boating conditions due to S to SW winds
gusting to Gale force and building seas 7 to 8 feet will offshore.
Numerous showers and storms will race offshore the FL peninsula
this morning capable of producing wind gusts up to 50 knots. Winds
veer westerly by afternoon as the front pushes south of Jupiter
Inlet and the frequency of gale force gusts will decrease.

Tonight...Offshore (west) flow will continue with a relaxing of
the pressure gradient allowing wind speeds to gradually decrease.
Will probably be able to remove the Small Craft Advisory for the
nearshore waters in the evening and replace with a Caution.

Monday-Thursday... Improving conditions expected into the
workweek behind a "cool front." West-southwest winds Monday into
Tuesday around 10-15kts with up to 20-25kts in the Volusia county
and offshore Brevard county (20-60nm) waters. Winds will slacken
Tuesday (~8-15kts), before increasing and veering northwesterly
into Wednesday at around 10-15kts nearshore and 20-25kts offshore.
Then, expect northerly winds Thursday at 8-12kts. Swell heights
in the 2- 3ft range nearshore and up to 4-6ft offshore.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 230 AM EDT Sun Apr 30 2023

Earlier added non-convective LLWS to MCO/ISM/MLB TAFs as
decoupling occurred allowing sfc winds to drop around 10 knots
while low level jet overspreads the area producing an increase of
20-30 knots in the lowest 2k ft. NUM-WDSPRD +TSRA ahead of a cool
front reaching KLEE around 09Z, working quickly SE through the
morning, and pushing south of KSUA ~16Z. MVFR-LIFR impacts with
wind gusts over 30 kts possible for 2-3 hours once convection
reaches each terminal. AWWs for MCO and DAB appear likely for
convective wind gusts 35+ kts. VFR conditions prevail once
convection clears. Behind the front, west winds will be 20-22 kts,
gusting up to 35KT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Min RH values will drop to critical levels behind the "cool
front" with much drier conditions through the workweek. Min RH
drops to 30- 40% Monday and through midweek, mainly to the north
of the Treasure Coast and away from the coast. Min RH values will
drop even further into Wednesday with values expected to reach the
upper 20s to low 30s across areas to the north of the Treasure
Coast and west of I- 95. The aforementioned conditions will lead
to an elevated fire danger.

lightning strikes and heavy rain. Most concerning is the threat
for tornadoes in this highly sheared environment. A strong tornado
cannot be ruled out. Be prepared to act quickly if a warning is
issued for your area. The storms will push offshore Martin county
by Noon.

.HIGH WIND IMPACT...
A Wind Advisory is in effect for Southwest to West winds
increasing 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph.

gusts greater than 35 knots, frequent cloud-to-water lightning,
and locally higher waves on inland lakes, the Intracoastal
Waterway, and nearshore Atlantic waters. Storm motion will be
toward the northeast around 50 mph.

Tornadic waterspouts will be possible over the intracoastal and
adjacent Atlantic waters as strong storms move rapidly toward the
northeast around 50 mph.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Southwest to West winds 20 to 30 knots with gusts to Gale force
will produce very hazardous boating conditions today. Seas will
build 7 to 8 feet well offshore while remaining 3 to 5 feet
nearshore.
