EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED PRELIM CCF
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
200 PM EST WED NOV 14 2001
CURRENTLY/TONIGHT...SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND RADAR LOOP INDICATING A
BROAD LOW PRESSURE CENTER WAS FORMING JUST OFFSHORE BETWEEN
MELBOURNE AND VERO BEACH. LARGE AREA OF RAIN CONTINUED OVER
NORTHERN COASTAL SECTIONS. WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS LAND AREAS
SOUTH OF THIS BAND HAD SET UP A NORTH/SOUTH CONVERGENCE LINE WITH
ADDITIONAL SCATTERED HEAVY RAIN OVER BREVARD.
THE ONLY MODEL OF THE BIG 3 TO PICK UP ON THIS NORTHWEST FLOW OVER
LAND AREAS WAS THE AVN MODEL. MODEL DRIFTS THE LOW NORTH NORTHEAST
TONIGHT AND WEAKENS THE ONSHORE FLOW...BUT WITH SUCH STRONG EAST
NORTHEAST WINDS...WILL PLAN ON LIKELY POPS FOR NORTHERN COASTAL
SECTIONS TONIGHT. ELSEWHERE...THE POPS WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER
TO NIL IN THE SOUTH.
THURSDAY...TREND FROM THE MODELS HAS BEEN TO SHIFT THE MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE BAND SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD. WEAK H50 CUTOFF IS PROGGED
VICINITY OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA WITH AVN MORE AGGRESSIVE IN LIFTING IT
TO THE NORTHEAST. THOUGH UPPER LEVEL LIFT WILL BE ON THE WANE...
WILL OPT FOR LIKELY POPS IN THE NORTH SINCE THE WINDS OFFSHORE ARE
SO STRONG AND SHOULD BE SLOW TO ABATE. THINK THAT AVN IS ON TRACK
INDICATING LOW POPS IN THE SOUTH.
FRIDAY...MODELS SHOWING CUTOFF STARTING TO OPEN UP AND DRIFT EAST
AS STRONG NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
U.S. THEY ALSO HINT AT MOISTURE BAND BEING NUDGED BACK TO THE
SOUTHEAST. WEAK LOW/INVERTED TROUGH OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND
STRONG HIGH IN THE SOUTHEAST SHOULD PRODUCE RATHER BREEZY ONSHORE
FLOW ONCE AGAIN. WILL PLAN ON BUMPING POPS TO 30/40 PERCENT ALONG
THE COAST AS A RESULT.
SATURDAY...MID/UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS WELL EAST OF THE AREA AND
BRINGS NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. HIGHER MOISTURE BAND STILL DENOTED BUT
AVN SHIFTS IT SOUTHWARD AND WEAKENS IT. WILL CONTINUE THE SMALL POP
WITH STILL NEAR BREEZY ONSHORE FLOW.
SUNDAY/MONDAY...NORTHWEST TO WEST FLOW ALOFT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
GENERALLY LESS THAN AN INCH PROGGED BY 12Z AVN LOOKS SIMILAR TO THE
LATEST MRF. ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD ALSO WEAKEN AS HIGH TO THE NORTH
WEAKENS AHEAD OF COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE MID SECTION OF THE
COUNTRY. WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY.
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY...WEAK FRONT PROGGED TO PASS TUESDAY WITH GUIDANCE
INDICATING SLIGHT COOLING. 850 TEMPS SUGGEST A LITTLE MORE COOLING
THAN MEX GUIDANCE SHOWS...BUT FLOW WILL BE SWINGING TO ONSHORE
RATHER QUICKLY...SO WILL STAY CLOSE TO IT.
MARINE...AFTERNOON FORECAST CALLED FOR 20 TO 25 AND GUSTY...AND IT
HAS BEEN A LITTLE MORE GUSTY THAN ANTICIPATED WITH BUOYS SHOWING A
FEW GUSTS OVER 35 KNOTS. THE SLIGHT LOWERING OF PRESSURES OFFSHORE
IS THE CULPRIT HERE. ETA MODEL WAS THE CLOSEST IN SHOWING THE
STRENGTH OF THE WINDS BUT WAS NOT DEPICTING THE NORTHWEST WINDS OVER
LAND AREAS. WILL STAY CLOSE TO PERSISTENCE FOR TONIGHT AND NOT BE
AS QUICK IN DIMINISHING WINDS/BACKING THEM TO THE NORTHWEST LIKE THE
AVN IS DOING TOMORROW. FRIDAY IS TRICKY DEPENDING ON THE EVOLUTION
AND MOVEMENT OF THE SURFACE FEATURE. WILL CALL FOR 20 KNOT WINDS
NORTH AND 15 TO 20 SOUTH. SHOULD REMAIN BREEZY SUNDAY THEN WINDS
SHOULD START TO DIMINISH. PLAN TO KEEP CURRENT ADVISORIES OVERNIGHT.

THE COMBINATION OF A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH ALONG THE FLORIDA EAST COAST AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES WAS PRODUCING STRONG EAST NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS FROM CAPE CANAVERAL NORTHWARD. THIS WAS RESULTING IN A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS SPREADING ACROSS ADJACENT COASTAL SECTIONS. THE BAND OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY SHIFT NORTH...BUT OCCASIONAL HEAVY RAIN WILL RESULT IN PONDING WATER ON ROADWAYS AND OTHER POORLY DRAINED AREAS OF COASTAL VOLUSIA COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON. THE GUSTY WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS HAD CHURNED UP THE OCEAN... WITH SEA HEIGHTS EXCEEDING 10 FEET. POUNDING SURF WILL BE A DANGER AT THE BEACHES. MINOR BEACH EROSION WILL LIKELY OCCUR NEAR THE HIGH TIDE THIS EVENING...MAINLY IN BREVARD AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES. ENTERING THE OCEAN IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED WHERE DANGEROUS BREAKING WAVES ARE OCCURRING. RIP CURRENTS WILL ALSO BE STRONG ALONG ALL OF THE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA BEACHES.
