AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
149 PM EST TUE FEB 13 2007
.DISCUSSION...
...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT CONTINUES THROUGH EARLY EVENING...
...FREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE FOR EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...
.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY...SVR THUNDERSTORM WATCH #21 ISSUED BY SPC IS IN EFFECT
THROUGH 7 PM THIS EVENING. LOCAL MESOSCALE MODELS STILL INDICATE
SCATTERED CELLS SHOULD DEVELOP ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FL DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND TRACK QUICKLY TOWARD THE EAST COAST. MAIN SVR
THREATS INCLUDE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BUT THERE WILL ALSO BE A
LOW THREAT FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO AS STORMS APPROACH BACKED LOW
LEVEL INFLOW ALONG THE COASTAL ZONE NEAR THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY.
TONIGHT...EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO PUSH OFF ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC WATERS THROUGH THE LATE EVENING HOURS BUT WILL KEEP
SCATTERED POPS FOR THE EARLY EVENING. DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE WILL
ORGANIZE NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC OVERNIGHT WITH WESTERLY FLOW
STRENGTHENING. MODELS SHOW SOME LOW LEVEL STRATUS THAT SHOULD
ADVECT IN DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS...OTHERWISE MOST OF THE DEEP
LAYER MOISTURE WILL ADVECT WELL EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA
OVERNIGHT. LOWS IN THE 60S.
WED...DEEP SFC LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE UP THE NORTHEAST U.S. ATLANTIC
COAST WITH GUSTY WESTERLY FLOW CONTINUING ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FL.
AFTER SOME MORNING STRATUS...SHOULD SEE A GOOD DEAL OF SUN BY
AFTERNOON. THE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS MAY NECESSITATE A LAKE
WIND ADVISORY FOR THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE
LWR 70S NORTH TO NEAR 80 FAR SRN ZONES.
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...STRONG ZONAL FLOW ALOFT IN THE WAKE OF
DEPARTING LOW WILL INITIALLY LIMIT COLD AIR ADVECTION FOR CENTRAL
FLORIDA. HIGHER MOISTURE REMAINS JUST SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA THROUGH
EARLY FRIDAY WHEN A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IN THE FAST ZONAL
FLOW BRINGS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RW- TO SOUTHERN ZONES. THEN
REINFORCING COLD AIR PUSH HERALDS THE ONSET OF VERY DRY AIR DURING
THE DAY FRIDAY AND AS COLD HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE FORECAST
AREA AND WINDS RELAX THE RISK OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES OVER MUCH OF
EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA SATURDAY MORNING. WILL HAVE TO STAY TUNED ON
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS POTENTIAL FREEZE. FOR NOW HAVE LEFT PREVIOUS
SHIFTS FORECAST ALONE WHICH SHAVED A FEW DEGREES OFF 00 UTC GUIDANCE
SINCE THEN 12 UTC GUIDANCE HAS COME IN A LITTLE WARMER.
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WARMING TAKES PLACE SUNDAY AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH TROUGH MOVING THROUGH MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
FRONTAL PASSAGE DURING DAY SUNDAY BRINGS GUSTY WINDS WITH PASSAGE
AND INCREASED CLOUDS AND A SLIM CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. COOLER DRIER AIR
AGAIN MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY WITH
BELOW SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AND LOW TEMPS IN THE 30S ON MONDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...+TSRA WILL AFFECT NRN TERMINALS THROUGH AROUND
22Z...AND SRN TERMINALS 20Z-23Z. EXPECT A FEW OF THE STRONGEST
STORMS THIS AFTN TO CONTAIN HAIL...GUSTY WINDS AND FQT LTG. AREAS
OF STRATUS SHOULD MOVE IN ACROSS E CENTRAL FL TERMINALS BY AROUND
09Z WITH LLWS ACROSS NRN TERMINALS. SFC WIND FROM THE WEST WITH G25KT
ON WED.
&&
.MARINE...WILL RAISE ADVISORY FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS THIS EVENING
AND THE NEARSHORE WATERS BY WED MORNING AS WESTERLY FLOW INCREASES
TO NEAR 20 KNOTS. STRONG WEST WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG
LOW MOVING OFFSHORE WILL KEEP WINDS AT OR NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA
FOR THE 20 TO 60 MILE OFFSHORE SEGMENT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
WINDS WEAKEN ON THURSDAY AND THEN PICK UP AGAIN FROM THE NORTHWEST
WITH THE NEXT COOL SURGE FRIDAY WEAKEN A BIT ON SATURDAY AND THEN
STRENGTHEN CONSIDERABLY SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE NEXT
COOL SURGE.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...MIN RHS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 40 PERCENT BUT GUSTY
WESTERLY WINDS AND HIGH DISPERSION VALUES WILL POSE A CONCERN ON
WEDNESDAY. GREATEST CONCERN AND PLANNING SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON THE
PERIOD BETWEEN THU-SAT AND AGAIN MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS
APPRECIABLE DRYING TAKES PLACE BEHIND THE TWO COOL DRY PUSHES.
THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR FRI AND SAT AFTERNOONS AS MIN RHS
COULD TUMBLE TO 25 PERCENT OVER NORTH AND INTERIOR SECTIONS
REMAINING BELOW 35 PERCENT FOR LONG DURATIONS.
