AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 245 PM EDT WED JUL 26 2006 .DISCUSSION... ...WEEKEND POSSIBLY LOOKING A LITTLE DRIER AS A TROPICAL WAVE IS FORECAST TO PASS SOUTH OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA... CURRENT-TONIGHT...LOW-UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS ACROSS CENTRAL FL THIS AFTERNOON. MID-HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS HAS KEPT AFTN TEMPS A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN FORECAST. WARM MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL KEEP INSTABILITY LIMITED AND AFTN/EVENING CONVECTION ISOLD-WDLY SCT.

MOVEMENT OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTH WILL BE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST...WHEREAS CONVECTION FURTHER SOUTH OF THE CAPE WILL BE FROM THE WEST TO EAST.

MAY SEE AN INCREASE IN WINDS N OF THE WAVE ...HOWEVER THIS IS MORE OF A MARINE CONCERN AS DRYING SHOULD STILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
