NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 9, 1:57 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 257 PM EDT SAT JUL 9 2005 .DISCUSSION... TONIGHT...AREA HAS BEEN ON THE EDGE OF THE MAIN OUTER BANDS ASSOCIATED WITH DENNIS...GENERALLY IN THE SUBSIDENCE REGION OF THE HURRICANE. FEW CELLS HAVE BEGUN TO FORM ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN SECTIONS DUE TO SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE/HEATING. THERE IS RATHER HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK BEING NORTHWEST DURING THE FIRST 24 HOURS. MAIN QUESTION IS WHETHER WE WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE BANDS OF CONVECTION ROTATING NORTHWARD ON THE EAST SIDE OF DENNIS. WITH STILL SOME SLIGHT COMPONENT AWAY FROM THE PENINSULA...THINK THAT THESE BANDS WILL STAY JUST TO OUR WEST. PLAN TO TAPER POPS FROM LIKELY IN LAKE COUNTY TO 50 PERCENT ALONG THE COAST. THOUGH WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN MARGINAL ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...AND NOWHERE NEAR VERIFYING IN NORTHERN SECTIONS...WILL LEAVE IN EFFECT UNTIL EXPIRATION AT 8 PM RATHER THAN TAKING IT DOWN PIECEMEAL. SUN-TUE...GFS MORE BELIEVABLE THAN THE CURRENT NAM MODEL RUN IN THAT IT KEEPS DENNIS MOVING MORE NORTH THAN NORTHWEST AS IT BUMPS AGAINST BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER MID WEST AND THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS. GOING AT/ABOVE PRECIP GUIDANCE AS DEEP TROPICAL SOUTHERLY FLOW MAINTAINS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES 2 INCHES OR MORE UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT THEN A SLIGHT DRYING AS THE RIDGE AXIS BRIEFLY SHIFTS NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY. WILL ALSO KEEP CONSIDERABLE TO CLOUDY SKIES DUE TO HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE MID/UPPER LAYERS BEING DRAWN DOWN FROM DENNIS MOISTURE FIELD TO THE NORTH. CONSIDERATION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO A FLOOD WATCH FOR SUNDAY AS THERE WILL BE MUCH HIGHER COVERAGE TOMORROW IN THE MOIST INFLOW SIDE OF THE HURRICANE AND LIKELY A TRAILING CONVERGENT BAND. HOWEVER WITH THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF COVERAGE TODAY AND THE SLIGHT ANGLE OF THE TRACK AWAY FROM THE PENINSULA...WILL NOT GO WITH ONE IN THIS PACKAGE. WED-SAT...WEDNESDAY LOOKS REASONABLE WITH THE REMNANTS OF DENNIS OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND THE ATLANTIC RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS FLORIDA. THURSDAY-SATURDAY...THE LONGER RANGE MODELS BUILDING DEEP LAYER HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST ACROSS THE WIND WEST AND OHIO RIVER VALLEY PUSHES THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE... DENNIS REMNANTS... DOWN TO THE SOUTHEAST FORCING THE RIDGE AXIS SOUTH OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. RESULTING DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WOULD KEEP MEAN LAYER MOISTURE HIGH AND PUSH WEATHER TO THE EAST COAST. CANADIAN DAY 5-7 LOOKS SIMILAR WITH THE RIDGE AXIS TO OUR SOUTH. BOTH GFSLR AND CANADIAN SHOWING LIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR DAILY SEA BREEZE FORMATION ESPECIALLY FROM THE CAPE TO JUPITER INLET WITH AFTERNOON STORMS OVER THE INTERIOR THEN MOVE BACK TOWARD THE EAST COAST LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. && .MARINE...SOLID ADVISORY CONDITIONS WITH WINDS 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND SEAS AT LEAST 7 FEET...SO LITTLE CHANGE TO CURRENT FORECAST/GRIDS FOR TONIGHT. ON SUNDAY THE COASTAL WATERS ARE STILL BEING INFLUENCED BY HURRICANE/TROPICAL STORMS DENNIS AS IT MOVES NORTHWARD ACROSS THE PANHANDLE AND SOUTHEAST STATES. STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE MID ATLANTIC AND DENNIS AS IT MOVES NORTH ACROSS THE PANHANDLE AND SOUTHEAST SUNDAY WILL MAINTAIN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WIND/SEA CONDITIONS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS UNTIL MONDAY. PRESSURE GRADIENT BEGINS TO RELAX AND WINDS VEER EASTERLY AND DIMINISH MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES THE CONTROLLING WEATHER FEATURE. WINDS CONTINUE VEERING TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE UPPER MID WEST AND THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY SUPPRESSES THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA TO SOUTH FLORIDA THURSDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

LUCIE- 340 PM EDT SAT JUL 9 2005 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT: ...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES OVER NORTHERN INTERIOR SECTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA INTO THIS EVENING AS HURRICANE DENNIS MOVES NORTHWEST THROUGH THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. OUTER RAINBANDS IN THE RIGHT FRONT QUADRANT OF DENNIS WILL BRING A MODERATE THREAT FOR SHORT-LIVED TORNADOES...MAINLY OVER NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA...INCLUDING LAKE COUNTY. A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR LAKE COUNTY THROUGH 11 PM. RAINBAND STORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE WIND GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM FORCE...OR 40 MPH. HAIL IS NOT EXPECTED...AND THE THREAT OF LIGHTNING WILL BE LOW. ...FLOOD IMPACT... WITH RECENT GENEROUS RAINS AND THE INCREASED TROPICAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE DENNIS...A MODERATE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING EXISTS AS ONE OR TWO INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED IN SPOTS. WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT ANTICIPATED AS THE RAINBANDS WILL BE ROTATING RAPIDLY THROUGH THE AREA AND LIMIT RAINFALL AMOUNTS. ...HIGH WIND IMPACT... AS DENNIS MOVES NORTHWEST OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO...WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH... ESPECIALLY IN SQUALLS. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING. RESIDENTS SHOULD SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS OR BRING THEM INDOORS. ...COASTAL FLOOD IMPACT... AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND WINDS INCREASE...CONDITIONS IN THE SURF ZONE WILL BE ROUGH WITH DANGEROUS BREAKING WAVES. ...RIP CURRENT IMPACT... SOUTHEAST WINDS AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND GUSTY WILL PRODUCE A STRONG NORTHWARD FLOWING LONGSHORE CURRENT. BEACH GOERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO STAY OUT OF THE WATER. ...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... A FEW OUTER RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE DENNIS WILL BE PULLED ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA COASTAL WATERS. WITHIN THE RAINBANDS...CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS TO 34 KNOTS OR HIGHER ARE POSSIBLE. ...WATERSPOUT IMPACT... THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADIC WATERSPOUTS ALONG THE COASTAL ZONE AND ALONG THE RIM OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE. ANY WATERSPOUTS WILL BE FAST MOVING AND COULD QUICKLY AFFECT LAND AREAS. ...WIND AND SEA IMPACT... VERY CHOPPY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND SEAS OF 7 TO 9 FEET IN THE OPEN ATLANTIC. TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE AS FAST MOVING SQUALLS MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WELL AFTER HURRICANE DENNIS MAKES LANDFALL. AS A RESULT...THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY WHEN A CONVERGENT BAND TRAILING FROM DENNIS MAY SET UP ACROSS THE AREA. WINDY CONDITIONS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO CONTINUE SUNDAY BUT WILL DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY BY MONDAY AS DENNIS MOVES AWAY AND WEAKENS OVER LAND. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE IF NEEDED. LASCODY/GLITTO
