AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 920 AM EDT FRI JUN 4 2004 .DISCUSSION... ...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LIKELY TODAY... FOR SEVERAL RUNS DATING BACK TO LAST WEEK...GFS HAD BEEN POINTING TO A MID WEEK BREAK IN THE HEAT WAVE CORRESPONDING TO THE ONSET OF THE WET SEASON AND HAD ALSO BEEN SHOWING THE INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS WITH FRIDAY HAVING THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL. FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS AS OF 12Z...IT HAS PRETTY MUCH NAILED BOTH THESE EVENTS. COMPARED TO THIS TIME THU...THE SYNOPTIC SETUP OVER ECFL LOOKS EVEN MORE CONDUCIVE TO STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OVER ECFL. H50 VORT AXIS ANALYZED BY WATER VAPOR/RUC EXTENDING FROM NE GOMEX ACROSS NORTH FL AND UP THE SERN SEABOARD. LOCAL MEAN PWAT HAS INCREASED TO 1.8 WITH H50 TEMPS -9/-10C. MODIFYING FOR 91F/72F YIELDS 2800J/KG CAPE WITH LI NR -8C AND WBZ 13KFT. H85-H50 WINDS FCST TO BE SW AT 15-17KT NR THE OCALA FOREST AND 10KT NR LAKE OKEE BY THIS AFTN SO STEERING IS STRONGER THAN THU..AND DIRECTED ONCE AGAIN BACK TWD THE EAST COAST. LOOKING UPSTREAM...FOR (AT LEAST) THE 4TH DAY IN A ROW...THERE IS A RESIDUAL SQLN TO OUR NW...HOWEVER THIS ONE IS MUCH CLOSER TO ECFL... ALREADY IMPINGING ON THE JAX CWA...SO IT APPEARS CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE A DIRECT FACTOR. ALSO (SIMILAR TO WED/THU) ANTICIPATE CONVECTION TO FIRE OUT AHEAD OF THIS LINE EAST OF APALACHEE BAY OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS...ESPECIALLY WITH THE DYNAMIC FORCING FROM THE H50 VORT LOBE POISED TO DROP SEWD ACROSS THE AREA THRU THIS AFTN. GIVEN THE SFC-STEERING FLOW COUPLED WITH DYNAMIC AND THERMODYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS...AS WELL AND ONGOING UPSTREAM CONVECTION...I REALLY HAVE NO QUALM WITH KICKING POPS UP TO AT LEAST 70% ALL ZONES (COVRG MAY BE A TAD LOWER ALONG THE TREASURE COAST) TODAY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT OUTSIDE OF HAVING PWATS AOA 2.0... YOUD BE HARD PRESSED TO PRIME THE LOCAL AIR MASS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THIS. HWO/G-HWO HAS HIT LOCAL THREATS VERY WELL. ONLY ANTICIPATE A MINOR TWEAK OR TWO THERE. && .MARINE...MAIN CONCERN THIS AFTN WILL BE STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING AND MOVING ENE TWD THE INTRACOASTAL AND NEARSHORE WATERS BY LATE AFTN. THREAT FOR FREQUENT LIGHTNING...WIND GUSTS GREATER THAN 35 KNOTS AND HAIL WITH STORMS. WINDS HAVE BEEN IN THE 5-10 KNOT RANGE THE LAST 24 HOURS AT BUOY 41009 WEAKER THAN MODEL PROGS. WINDS SHOULD BACK TO SOUTHERLY (AND SE NEAR THE COAST WITH THE AFTN SEA BRZ) AND INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KNOTS BUT WITH STRONGER GUSTS NEAR STORMS DURING THE LATE AFTN AND EVENING. && .MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM...CRISTALDI LONG TERM...VOLKMER
