AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 230 PM EDT TUE JUN 15 2004 .DISCUSSION...SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY MAKING GOOD PROGRESS INLAND AT MID AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES WHERE IT WAS REACHING INTO EASTERN SECTIONS OF INTERIOR COUNTIES. ISOLATED SHOWERS MOVING ONSHORE SOUTHERN COASTAL SECTIONS WITH PERSISTENT AREA OF SHOWERS MOVING WEST FROM CONVERGENT AREA IN BAHAMA BANK REGION. A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE ALSO DEVELOPED FARTHER WEST OVER THE INTERIOR WHERE LINGERING THICK CIRRUS THIS MORNING RESULTED IN A GOOD DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY TO HELP FOCUS STORMS. THROUGH TONIGHT...LIGHT E-SE FLOW THROUGH H5 WILL RESULT IN A SLOW STORM DRIFT TO THE W-NW. HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF LATE AFTN/EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL OCCUR OVER NORTHERN INTERIOR SECTIONS OF EC FL AS NUMEROUS BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS TAKE PLACE. 15Z CAPE SOUNDING STILL HAD PWATS OVER TWO INCHES AND WAS WARM ALOFT WITH -5C AT H5...SO COUPLED WITH THE VERY WEAK WIND FIELDS...HEAVY RAINFALL STILL THE PRIMARY THREAT...ESPECIALLY INTERIOR SECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RAIN SOAKED OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS AND WILL BE MORE PRONE TO FLOODING WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL. EVEN AFTER HEAVIEST RAINS START TO TAPER OFF AROUND SUNSET...AREA SHOULD DEBRIS OUT INTO LARGE STRATIFORM AREA OF LIGHT/MODERATE RAIN THAT WILL PERSIST FOR A FEW MORE HOURS...AS OCCURRED PAST COUPLE OF EVENINGS. WED-SAT...LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS REMAINS ANCHORED NORTH OF THE REGION PROMOTING A SYNOPTIC SCALE EASTERLY FLOW THROUGH LATE WEEK...THEN WILL SETTLE SOUTH TO CENTRAL FLORIDA FRI/SAT. MEANWHILE...A MID LEVEL ANTICYCLONE WILL PERSIST TO THE N/NW...ALLOWING SEVERAL DAYS OF NORTHEAST STEERING FLOW ACROSS THE CWA. THE DEEP/MOIST LAYER AIRMASS OF RECENT DAYS WILL BE REPLACED TEMPORARILY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEARLY A HALF INCH LESS...GENERALLY 1.6-1.8 INCHES MID WEEK. ONSHORE GRADIENT FLOW WILL BE REINFORCED BY THE SEA BREEZE COMPONENT NEXT SEVERAL AFTERNOONS...LEADING TO GREATEST DIURNAL RAIN/STORM PROSPECTS OVER THE INTERIOR...WITH LESSER OVERALL COVERAGE THAN RECENT SEVERAL DAYS...AS IS NORMAL WITH NORTHEAST STEERING FLOW. ALTHOUGH SOME INTERIOR LOCATIONS MAY STILL EXPERIENCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...DURATIONS SHOULD BE MINIMAL AS STORM MOTION INCREASES. A RETURN TO HIGHER MOISTURE LEVELS EXPECTED BY LATE IN THE WEEK WITH A SLIGHT INCREASE OF POPS...HIGHEST INLAND. SUN-TUE...SUNDAY SHOULD BE A TRANSIION DAY AS THE FLOW REGIME BEGINS TO REVERT FROM AN ONSHORE TO OFFSHORE COMPONENT AS THE DEEP LAYER RIDGE SINKS SOUTHWARD AND A MID LEVEL TROUGH SLOWLY ADVANCES TOWARD THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. WILL INDICATE A UNIFORM COVERAGE OF SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING POPS SUNDAY GIVEN THE WEAK ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW. ONSET OF SOUTHWEST FLOW LIKELY BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH MOISTURE RETURNING TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS AS LOW LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SETTLES TOWARD THE GA/FL BORDER. HAVE DEPICTED HIGHEST DAYTIME STORM COVERAGE...A LITTLE ABOVE CLIMO...FOR THE EAST COAST WHERE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY CONVERGENCE SHOULD MAXIMIZE. IF LATER MODEL CYCLES TREND TOWARD LESS AMPLITUDE OF TROUGH AND LOWER AVAILABILITY OF DEEP MOISTURE...MAY NEED TO BACK POPS DOWNWARD AREAWIDE TO OR A LITTLE BELOW CLIMO. && .MARINE...NO HIGHLIGHTS THROUGH SUNDAY. LIGHT ONSHORE WINDS WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE RIDGE AXIS DROPS SOUTHWARD. DAILY SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS WILL REINFORCE THE WEAK PRE EXISTING ONSHORE FLOW. SMALL RESIDUAL SWELL STILL OBSERVED AT CANAVERAL BUOYS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD COMBINED SEAS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN CONTRIBUTION FROM WIND ALONE INTO WEDNESDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

LUCIE- 500 AM EDT TUE JUN 15 2004 .DAY ONE...TODAY ...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... ABUNDANT ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE WILL ONCE AGAIN LEAD TO SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS OVER INTERIOR SECTIONS. THE INITIAL FOCUS FOR ISOLATED STORMS WILL BE THE INLAND MOVING EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY...BUT BY LATE AFTERNOON NUMEROUS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS OVER THE INTERIOR WILL INCREASE THE COVERAGE OF STORMS. A FEW STRONG STORMS WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. ...FLOOD IMPACT... SLOW STORM MOVEMENT WILL ALLOW FOR 2 TO 3 INCH RAIN AMOUNTS IN ABOUT AN HOUR AT A FEW INTERIOR LOCATIONS. THIS WILL RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE PONDING OF WATER IN POORLY DRAINED AREAS...PARTICULARLY ON ROADWAYS. ...RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A NORTHEAST SWELL IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THE SEAWARD PULL OF RIP CURRENTS. THE GREATEST DANGER IS USUALLY NEAR THE LOW TIDE WHICH WILL OCCUR DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON. CHECK WITH THE BEACH PATROL ABOUT OCEAN DANGERS...AND ALWAYS SWIM NEAR A LIFEGUARD. ...WATERSPOUT IMPACT... LIGHT WINDS AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE MAY LEAD TO ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS. THE GREATEST CHANCE SHOULD BE DURING THE MORNING HOURS AS SHOWERS RAPIDLY DEVELOP ALONG CLOUD BOUNDARIES OVER THE OCEAN OR INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY...PARTICULARLY AROUND CAPE CANAVERAL. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MAINLY BE OVER THE INTERIOR THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...THEN COASTAL SECTIONS SHOULD START TO HAVE INCREASED CHANCES OVER THE WEEKEND.
