Area Forecast Discussion

412 PM EDT Wed Oct 11 2023

...New DISCUSSION, MARINE, AVIATION, HYDROLOGY...

...Strong to Severe Storms this Evening into Thursday...
...Nocturnal Tornado Threat Overnight...

.DISCUSSION...

Currently-Tonight... KMLB radar imagery shows that isolated to
scattered showers and storms have began to develop across east
central Florida ahead of a warm front. The warm front currently
sits across the eastern Gulf of Mexico, as well as central
Florida which stretches from an area of low pressure situated in
the northern Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, a weakness in the
ridge to the east-southeast has developed with a major shortwave
trough located upstream over Texas. Current temperatures are in
the upper 70s to mid 80s with the warmest temperature near the
coast. Conditions have become muggy with southerly flow in place
with dew points in the mid 70s to near 80 degrees. The SPC
mesoscale analysis page indicates that MLCAPE has risen to
~1,000-1,500 J/kg with 30-40kts of 0-6km shear, as well as an
uptick in SCP and EHI values across central Florida.

As we head into the evening and overnight hours, forcing and
instability are forecast to increase as the warm front lifts north
and the low treks across northern Florida. During this period,
CAMS show 30-50kts of 0-6km shear, MUCAPE ~ 1,500-2,500 J/kg, SCP
~ 2-5, STP ~ 1-4, a 30-40kt LLJ, 200-500 m^2/S^s 0-3km SRH
(especially along and to the north of I-4). A Slight Risk for
severe storms exists across areas north of a line that stretches
from Lake Kissimmee to Melbourne. A Marginal Risk is in place to
the south. The primary storm hazards will be: damaging wind gusts
to 60mph, repeated rounds of heavy rainfall leading to localized
flooding (1-3" with localized amounts up to 5"), and frequent
cloud to ground lightning strikes. An additional threat for a few
tornadoes exists in the Slight Area, especially into the overnight
hours as instability and shear increases.

Even outside of lightning storms, winds will pick up overnight as
the pressure gradient tightens with gusts to 20-25mph out of the
southwest by early Thursday morning. Overnight lows are forecast
to reach the low to mid 70s north of I-4 and the mid to upper 70s
to the south.

Thu (modified previous discussion)... The warm front is forecast
to lie just north of Lake and Volusia counties early Thu as a wave
of low pressure pushes east away from the NE FL coast. Convection
should be ongoing from the overnight and wind fields will remain
strong during the morning hours but will decrease and become more
unidirectional out of the W/SW during the day. So the overnight
severe threat should linger into the daytime morning hours but
decrease in the afternoon. However, very deep moisture (Precip
water values around 2.5") will remain and support heavy rainfall
with localized flooding possible esp from Brevard/Osceola counties
northward. A Slight Risk for severe storms exists along and to the
north of Melbourne with a MArginal Risk to the south. The primary
storm hazards are damaging wind gusts up to 60mph, heavy rainfall
leading to localized flooding, and frequent lightning strikes. A
secondary threat for a tornado or two exists in the Slight Risk
(north of Melbourne). Max temps will range from the mid 80s
across the north half to the upper 80s/near 90 Treasure coast
where a little better heating should occur. With high dewpoints,
peak heat indices will reach 100-105 across much of southern
sections.

Fri-Sat...The old front will sag back to the south across cent FL
by Fri morning before washing out. Deep moisture will remain
across the area so rain chances will remain above normal (50-60
percent). Decreased wind fields in vicinity of dissipating front
will not produce a severe threat but locally heavy rain will be a
concern. On Sat, SW (offshore) flow increases ahead of an
approaching cold front. This will be the last day of scattered
showers and storms (50 percent). From Wed-Sat, widespread
rainfall amounts of 1.5-2.5 inches are forecast with locally
higher amounts to 5 inches possible.

Very Warm and humid conds are forecast with max temps in the mid
to upper 80s most areas with lower 90s on one or more days along
the Treasure coast. Heat index values of 101-106 are forecast with
the peak values more likely to occur over southern sections where
more heating is possible. Melbourne and Vero Beach have a chance
to equal their record highs on Fri given enough sfc heating.

Sun-Tue...A stronger cold front is forecast to sweep across the
area Sun and bring noticeably cooler and drier air to the area,
including the coolest min temps in several months with lows in the
50s most areas Tue morning. Max temps will be held in the mid to
upper 70s Mon and Tue, possibly touching 80F in Martin county.

.MARINE...
Issued at 342 PM EDT Wed Oct 11 2023

Currently-Tonight... Conditions will become hazardous for boaters.
SCA goes into effect overnight for the offshore waters with
southeasterly winds around 15-20kts veering southwesterly at
around 20-25kts offshore overnight with gusts up to 34kts.
Nearshore, expect winds to become southwesterly at around
15-20kts overnight with cautionary headlines there. Strong to
severe storms forecast along and ahead of a warm front with the
potential to produce damaging wind gusts to 60mph, heavy
rainfall, frequent lightning, and waterspouts this evening into
Thursday. Seas build to 2-4ft with up to 5ft nearshore and up to
6ft offshore.

Thu-Sun (previous discussion)... The warm front should be located
just north of the FA sunrise Thu with SW flow 15-20 knots
nearshore and around 20 knots offshore. The winds will decrease
during Thu as low pressure scoots quickly E/NE away from the area.
This will push the front back southward and become stationary
over our local Atlc waters Thu night and Fri allowing winds to
become variable 10 knots or less. But deep moisture will remain
keeping high coverage of showers and storms. Offshore (W/SW) flow
returns Sat increasing 10-15 knots during the day and 15-20 knots
Sat night ahead of the next front. Winds turn W/NW 15 knots Sunday
as the cold front pushes cleanly through the area. Seas 5-6 ft
offshore Thu subsiding below 5 feet late Fri and remaining 3-4
feet Sat before building back to 5 ft Sat night and Sunday.
Nearshore...Seas generally 2-3 ft thru the period.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Showers and lightning storms will increase in coverage this
evening and into the overnight hours as a warm front lifts north
across Florida. The primary storm hazards will be wind gusts to
50mph with isolated damaging wind gusts up to 60mph, repeated
rounds of heavy rainfall leading to localized flooding, and
frequent lightning strikes, mainly north of Fort Pierce. An
additional threat for a few tornadoes exists north of a line that
stretches from Lake Kissimmee to Melbourne. Keep up to date on the
forecast and ensure to have multiple ways to receive warning
information.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
An abundance of moisture and repeated rounds of heavy rainfall
will result in the potential for rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches
in a short period of time with localized amounts up to 5 inches.
The potential for flooding of low lying, urban, and poor drainage
areas will exist into the overnight hours. The heaviest rainfall
is forecast to the north of a line that stretches from Kissimmee
to Melbourne with slightly lower amounts expected to the south.
