AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 935 AM EDT THU JUN 14 2012 .UPDATE... ...BOATING CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE FROM FRIDAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND... TODAY...FRONTAL TROUGH EXTENDS SOUTHWESTWARD FROM A LOW OFF OF NORTH CAROLINA COAST TO THE NORTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA. BAND OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS OCCURRING NEAR THE AXIS OF THIS TROUGH...WHICH APPARENTLY LIES FROM NEAR BUOY 41010 (WHERE AREA OF CONVECTION IS OCCURRING) TO NORTH CENTRAL PENINSULA (WHERE GPS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE HIGHEST). THE MODELS SHOW CONVECTION GETTING GOING NEAR THIS BOUNDARY BY EARLY AFTERNOON. EXPECT THAT STORMS WILL ZIPPER DOWN THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. THIS MAY OCCUR A LITTLE FARTHER INLAND THAN YESTERDAY SINCE THE SEA BREEZE WILL HAVE A LITTLE GRADIENT NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW ALONG THE NORTH COAST. STILL WITH ENOUGH WESTERLY STEERING FLOW AND THE PRESENCE OF THE LARGE SCALE BOUNDARY...SOME PRECIPITATION SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO AFFECT THE NORTH COAST. HOWEVER...THE STRONGEST STORMS SHOULD BE ACROSS THE INTERIOR. THIS IS ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED IN THE GRAPHICAL HWO. HAVE MADE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE POP/CLOUD/QPF GRIDS. && .AVIATION... DEBRIS CLOUDS DISSIPATING ACROSS THE NORTH WILL ALLOW FOR HEATING AND EXPECT SCATTERED STORMS TO FORM AS WEST/EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARIES INTERACT...ALONG WITH SOME WEAK LARGE SCALE CONVERGENCE FROM FRONTAL BOUNDARY. STORMS SHOULD ZIPPER DOWN THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE...HAVING PRIMARY IMPACT ON THE INTERIOR TERMINALS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION...BUT MAY NEED TO GO WITH A LITTLE EARLIER START TIMES IN THE NORTH...ESPECIALLY KSFB-KLEE. && .MARINE... TODAY-TONIGHT...WINDS WILL BE SLOWLY VEERING TODAY AS FRONTAL TROUGH SAGS INTO/THROUGH THE WATERS. DIRECTIONS WILL BE NORTHERLY BEHIND THE TROUGH TODAY AND THEN NORTHEAST TONIGHT. SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 10 KNOTS TODAY AND MAINLY 10-15 KNOTS TONIGHT. STORMS OVER THE MAINLAND LOOK TO BE FARTHER INLAND TODAY...BUT THERE IS STILL A THREAT FOR GUSTY WINDS AND OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES TO AFFECT THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS. && .MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY SLIDING SOUTHWARDS INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA TODAY WILL BRING DEEPER MOISTURE VALUES ACROSS THE REGION. NORTHEAST FLOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN AREAS BEHIND THE FRONT ALLOWING THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE TO PUSH FURTHER INLAND ACROSS THE INTERSTATE 4 CORRIDOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS MAY FORM BY MID AFTERNOON NORTH OF INTERSTATE 4...WITH STORM COVERAGE INCREASING ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS ONGOING STORMS AND OUTFLOWS COLLIDE WITH THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES. A FEW OF THE STORMS WILL LINGER INTO THE LATE EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING. STORMS WILL MOVE TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST AT AROUND 10 MPH TODAY. IN ADDITION TO HEAVY DOWNPOURS...A FEW STRONGER STORMS MAY PRODUCE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES...SMALL HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
