AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 330 PM EDT TUE MAY 15 2012 .DISCUSSION... TONIGHT...MID/UPR LVL CLOUD DECKS HAVE LARGELY BROKEN UP...ALLOWING DIURNAL CONVECTION TO FIRE S OF I-4. CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO DVLP THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN AS THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE PUSHES INTO THE CWA AND BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE EAST COAST BREEZE. CONVECTION SHOULD PEAK BEFORE SUNSET AS MID LVL LAPSE RATES ARE MODERATELY UNSTABLE...THERE IS NO DISCERNIBLE CAP THRU THE H100-H70 LYR...H85-H30 VORTICITY FIELDS ARE QUITE WEAK...AND THE H30-H20 LYR IS WEAKLY CONVERGENT OUTSIDE OF EXISTING CONVECTION. EXPECT SCT SHRAS/ISOLD TSRAS TO DISSIPATE WELL BEFORE MIDNIGHT. LIGHT SRLY WINDS WILL KEEP MIN TEMPS IN THE U60S/L70S. THURSDAY...LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL WX PATTERN AS THE POSITIVELY TILTED FRONTAL TROF OVER THE DEEP SOUTH CONTINUES TO INTERACT WITH THE DEEP RIDGE OVER THE WRN ATLC. DYNAMIC LIFT WILL REMAIN WEAK AS MID LVL VORTICITY/UPR LVL DIVERGENCE OVER THE ERN GOMEX ARE LARGELY ABSENT. HOWEVER...THE H30-H20 JET SHOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO PLACE CENTRAL FL UNDER ITS ASCENDING LEFT EXIT QUAD. LOW LVL MOISTURE WILL BE PLENTIFUL AS SRLY WINDS THRU THE H100-H70 LYR TAP KEEP MOISTURE OVER THE FL STRAITS. CONVECTION WILL BE TRIGGERED BY MESOSCALE BNDRY INTERACTION. PRIMARILY DRIVERS WILL BE THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEABREEZES. W/SW FLOW THRU THE H85-H50 LYR WILL PUSH CONVECTION BACK TO THE EAST COAST. GFS/ECMWF MOS POPS HAVE INCREASED INTO THE LIKELY AND EVEN CATEGORICAL IN SOME SPOTS. WILL GO WITH 70PCT AREAWIDE. S/SWRLY FLOW WILL PUSH AFTN TEMPS INTO THE M/U80S INTERIOR...EAST COAST SEABREEZE SHOULD FORM BY MIDDAY KEEPING THE COASTAL REGIONS IN THE L/M80S.

AT THE SURFACE...LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW LINGERS AROUND THE BROAD INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE WESTERN ATLC TO THE NW CARIBBEAN. OVERALL THE PATTERN LOOKS FAIRLY STAGNANT AND UNSETTLED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. HAVE CONSERVATIVELY NUDGED POPS UP ABOUT 10 PCT THROUGH THE WEEKEND BUT LEFT MON-TUE AS IS... HOWEVER THE CURRENT FCST POPS FROM SAT ONWARD (30 FOR SAT/SUN AND 20 FOR MON/TUE) ARE NOW ABOUT 10 PCT BELOW THE ECX AND ABOUT 20 PCT BELOW THE MEX.

ABUNDANT MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL THIN THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR MORE DAYTIME HEATING COMPARED TO MONDAY. WITH A MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND WEAK SURFACE WINDS IN PLACE...THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE SHOULD DEVELOP AND BECOME ACTIVE BY EARLY AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FORMING. MULTIPLE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL OCCUR BY LATE AFTERNOON...CAUSING THE GREATEST STORM COVERAGE AND STRENGTH TO SHIFT TOWARD THE INTERIOR COUNTIES. HOWEVER...STORMS WILL TEND TO MOVE NORTHEAST BACK TOWARD THE COAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND TEMPORARY PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS FROM TORRENTIAL RAINFALL OF ONE TO TWO INCHES IN A 60 TO 90 MINUTE PERIOD. STRONG WIND GUSTS AND SMALL HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... SCATTERED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE THIS AFTERNOON. BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL LEAD TO HIGHER COVERAGE OF STORMS ACROSS THE INTERIOR BY LATE AFTERNOON. A FEW STRONGER STORMS WITH WIND GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE EXPECTED. STORMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AT 15 KNOTS WITH SOME MOVING ACROSS THE COAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... THERE IS A LOW TO MODERATE ENVIRONMENTAL FIRE DANGER DUE TO DRY FUELS. SOME RAIN WETTING IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...BUT LIGHTNING STORMS COULD INITIATE NEW FIRES. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... EARLY MORNING CONTACTS WITH LOCAL BEACH PATROLS INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF RIP CURRENTS THIS MORNING. ADDITIONALLY...SOME RIP CURRENT RESCUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BEACH PATROL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE BEACH. ALWAYS SWIM WITHIN SIGHT OF A LIFEGUARD. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY. SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WILL EXIST FOR SCATTERED STORMS THROUGH THURSDAY WITH COVERAGE DECREASING A LITTLE FROM FRIDAY INTO THIS WEEKEND. UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING WILL RESULT IN STEERING WINDS THAT WILL FAVOR THE HIGHEST COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON STORMS OVER THE EAST SIDE OF THE PENINSULA INTO LATE WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE IF NEEDED. LASCODY/CRISTALDI
