AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 240 PM EDT MON JUL 31 2006 .DISCUSSION... CURRENT...AS EXPECTED...LOCAL ATMOSPHERE REMAINS RELATIVELY DRY AND THE DIURNAL CU FIELD IS CONVECTIVELY SUPPRESSED. KMLB 88D SHOWS EVEN LESS COVERAGE/INTENSITY TO THE CONVECTION ACROSS NORTH FL AND ALONG THE WCSB COMPARED TO THIS TIME SUNDAY. FCST...WITH WSW STEERING FLOW...WILL NEED SWD PROPAGATING OUTFLOW BDRYS TO BRING CONVECTION INTO THE CWA AS THE LOCAL SEA BREEZE CIRCS DONT LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO OVERCOME MID LEVEL THERMAL CAPPING. HAVE LEFT SLGT CHC POPS ACROSS THE NORTH EARLY TONIGHT TO ACCT FOR POTENTIAL BDRY INTERACTIONS TO SPARK EVENING CONVECTION. TUE-FRI...DONT EXPECT A LOT OF CHANGE IN THE LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE CENTRAL TO SOUTH CENTRAL PENINSULA. UPPER ANTICYCLONE OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. ALSO SHOULD REMAIN RELATIVELY STEADY STATE. TUTT CELL CURRENTLY EAST OF THE BAHAMAS IS FORECAST TO PUSH WEST AND CROSS SOUTH FLORIDA ON THU THEN INTO THE GULF ON FRI. THIS PATTERN USUALLY LEADS TO BELOW AVERAGE MOISTURE/POPS DUE TO SUBSIDENCE BETWEEN THE UPPER RIDGE AND TROUGH...THEN MOISTENING ON EAST SIDE OF TUTT CELL. HOWEVER THE MODELS ARE INDICATING A FEW BANDS OF HIGHER MOISTURE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW...SO WE SHOULDNT SEE THE TYPICAL SUBSIDENCE PATTERN HOLDING FOR SEVERAL DAYS. CURRENTLY SATELLITE SHOWS TWO AREAS OF MOISTURE IN THE ATLANTIC...ONE TO OUR NORTHEAST ASSOCIATED WITH TAIL END OF NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD...AND ANOTHER WELL TO OUR EAST SOUTHEAST ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LOW. GIVEN THE DRIER AIR OVER THE SOUTH HALF CURRENTLY...WOULD THINK THAT TUE SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO TODAY WITH LOW POPS IN THE SOUTH AND A LITTLE HIGHER VALUES IN THE NORTH. WRF POPS ARE BELOW 15 PERCENT AREAWIDE WHILE THE MAV NUMBERS SHOW MORE OF A NORTH/SOUTH GRADIENT...AND WILL STAY CLOSER TO THOSE NUMBERS. MODELS SHOW HIGHER MOISTURE VALUES ON WED AND CONTINUING THROUGH FRI AS BAND CURRENTLY TO OUR NORTH SAGS SOUTH...BUT THIS MAY BE A LITTLE OVERDONE. WILL LEAVE POPS AT 40 PERCENT FOR NOW FOR THE WED-FRI PERIOD. SAT-MON...NOT A LOT OF CHANGES INDICATED IN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES. THE GFS BRINGS ANOTHER TUTT CELL WESTWARD INTO THE PENINSULA MON...THOUGH IS MUCH SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS RUN. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOW DIFFERENCES IN POSITION OF LOW LEVEL RIDGE...SO CANNOT INDICATE TREND FOR WHICH PORTION OF THE AREA (COAST VS INLAND) WOULD BE MOST FAVORED FOR AFTERNOON STORMS. NOT SURE WHEN TO EXPECT SUBSIDENCE/DRYING AHEAD OF TUTT CELL...SO WITH MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODELS...WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO CLIMO LOOKING 40 PERCENT POPS. && .MARINE...RIDGE AXIS NEARBY THROUGH LATE WEEK WILL KEEP A LIGHT OFFSHORE GRADIENT WIND...EXCEPT SOUTHERN SECTIONS WHERE VARIABLE WINDS ARE EXPECTED AROUND 5 MPH. BY THE WEEKEND WE SHOULD GET INTO A RATHER LIGHT SOUTHEAST FLOW AS SURFACE RIDGE AXIS NUDGES NORTHWARD. POSSIBLE PASSAGE OF A TROPICAL WAVE TO OUR SOUTH COULD CAUSE THE WINDS TO BE MORE LIKE 10-15 KNOTS SAT...BUT THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS HAPPENING. WAVE WATCH SHOWS EAST SWELL AT 3-4 FEET CONTINUING TUE THEN GRADUALLY DAMPENING OUT. && .AVIATION...SLGT CHC FOR A FEW TSRA TO DEVELOP NORTH OF KMCO-KTTS FROM 22Z-02Z WITH THE BEST CHC NR KDAB. OTRW...VFR SAVE FOR SOME MVFR SLANTWISE VSBYS IN HAZE ACROSS FROM MLB-VRB SOUTH. DIURNAL CU WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY AFTER 00Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DAB 74 92 74 91 / 20 30 20 40 MCO 75 95 75 92 / 20 20 20 40 MLB 74 92 74 90 / 10 20 20 40 VRB 74 92 75 90 / 10 20 20 40 && .MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM...CRISTALDI LONG TERM....LASCODY
