AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 300 PM EDT TUE JUN 22 2004 ...DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS POSSIBLE AS STORMS COLLIDE WITH DEVELOPING EAST COAST SEA BREEZE... .DISCUSSION...15Z CAPE SOUNDING SHOWS A BIT OF COOLING AND DRYING ALOFT COMPARED TO 24 HOURS AGO. AS A RESULT...STORM COVERAGE AND STRENGTH TODAY HAS BEEN LOWER...SO FAR. BUT AM INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT STORMS COLLIDING WITH THE DEVELOPING EAST COAST BREEZE BOUNDARY AND PRODUCING DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS. THREAT APPEARS HIGHEST ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTS FROM BREVARD DOWN TO ST LUCIE COUNTIES...INCLUDING VERO BEACH IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. RADAR AND SAT IMAGERY SHOW INDICATIONS THAT THE SEA BREEZE IS DEVELOPING JUST OFFSHORE AND WILL SLOWLY PUSH ONSHORE. CAPE WIND TOWERS ARE ALSO STARTING TO SHOW AN ONSHORE COMPONENT DEVELOPING. WITH EARLIER DEVELOPMENT THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...STORMS WILL PUSH OFFSHORE AND END EARLIER THAN PREVIOUS NIGHTS. TORRENTIAL RAIN AND EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING ARE EXPECTED WITH THE STRONGER CELLS. TEMPORARY FLOODING IS A CONCERN ESP OVER AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED COPIOUS RAIN AMOUNTS THE LAST FEW DAYS. WED...DRIER POCKET OF AIR ASSOCIATED WITH SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL SLIDE NORTHWARD TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE CWA. MEAN LAYER RHS HAVE TRENDED DOWNWARD...WITH THE GFS INDICATING PWATS LESS THAN 1.7 INCHES SOUTH OF THE CAPE ALONG WITH WEAK SUBSIDENCE IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS. HOWEVER...THE GFS MAY BE SLIGHTLY OVERDONE IN ITS DEPICTION OF THE DRYING. WILL RUN WITH POPS JUST ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE...SCATTERED ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND ISOLATED ALONG THE COAST SOUTH OF THE CAPE. THU...RIDGE AXIS WILL TRACK NORTHWARD AND ACROSS THE CWA. ACTIVE COLLISION OF EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES ACROSS THE INTERIOR COUNTIES WILL SUPPLY ADDITIONAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE A GOOD BET WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR ALOFT (-8C @ 500 MB). GUSTY WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HAIL ARE CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY. FRI-SUN...RIDGE AXIS WILL MEANDER NORTH AND SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA. MAIN FOCUS FOR STORMS WILL SHIFT WELL NORTH OF THE REGION AS A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY TAPS INTO DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES. DRIER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDGE WILL LIMIT RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA AND WILL RUN WITH LOW SCATTERED POPS...JUST BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS. MON-TUE...LITTLE CHANGE IN THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN WILL TAKE PLACE. ACTIVE BOUNDARY COLLISIONS WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...THOUGH THE DEEPEST MOISTURE AND MORE SIGNIFICANT WEATHER WILL REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTH. && .MARINE...WITH THE RIDGE AXIS NUDGING NORTHWARD OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WINDS WILL ONLY TOP OUT AROUND 10 KT. WINDS GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST WILL BECOME ONSHORE EACH AFTERNOON. SEAS REMAIN QUITE LOW WILL LITTLE TO NO CONTRIBUTION FROM SWELLS. CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN TRANQUIL EXCEPT FOR LOCALLY STRONG WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS IN LIGHTNING STORMS TRACKING OFFSHORE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
