NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 29, 1:38 PM EST, 34 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 238 PM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 .DISCUSSION... ...A FEW STRONG CELLS POSSIBLE INTO EARLY EVENING... CURRENT-TONIGHT...THE AREA ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-4 CORRIDOR WAS WORKED OVER EARLIER TODAY BY CONVECTION. FEEL THAT THESE LOCATIONS MAY NOT RECOVER IN TIME FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY STORMS BUT COULD STILL SEE SOME GENERAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS HERE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. THE LARGER FOCUS WILL LIKELY BE SOUTH OF ORLANDO THAT HAS HAD MORE TIME FOR SURFACE HEATING AND NOW HAS ADDITIONAL BOUNDARIES FLOATING AROUND. THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE HAS DEVELOPED SOUTH FROM THE CAPE BUT INLAND PUSH WILL BE FUTILE DUE TO THE OFFSHORE WINDS AT AND ABOVE THE SURFACE. THIS FEATURE WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR STORM ENHANCEMENT ALONG THE COAST AS EASTWARD MOVING CELLS ATTEMPT TO PUSH OFF THE COAST. MANY OF THE CELLS TODAY HAVE BEEN GUSTY WITH WIND SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 35 MPH. LIGHTNING THUS FAR HAS BEEN MORE ISOLATED THAN YESTERDAY. A FEW CELLS GOING INTO EARLY EVENING MAY STILL PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS TO 50 MPH AS WELL AS FREQUENT LIGHTNING. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO WIND DOWN AGAIN BY AROUND MID EVENING WITH MOST OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS PUSHING ACROSS THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAYS AND INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. OVERNIGHT LOWS CONTINUED MILD AND NEAR SEASONAL IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S. SUN-MON...INTERESTING PATTERN ALOFT CONTINUES ACROSS THE CONUS FOR THIS PERIOD. THE LARGE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. REMAINS IN PLACE WHILE TROUGHING ENCOMPASSES THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CONUS. THIS WILL ENSURE THE DEEP SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. AT THE SURFACE THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS OVER THE FLORIDA STRAITS IS FORECAST TO ADVANCE SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD INTO THE SOUTH TO SOUTH-CENTRAL PENINSULA BY THE END OF THIS PERIOD. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM INTO EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AVERAGING OVER 2 INCHES THRU THIS TIME. PERIODIC IMPULSES ALOFT WILL AID IN CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. MOS GUIDANCE SUGGEST A 70 PERCENT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION EACH DAY...MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...AND SEE NO REASON TO DEVIATE FROM THIS. A SMALL THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST FROM LATE EVENING THROUGH THE MORNING PERIODS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LIKELY BE THE MAIN THREAT BUT SO WILL THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING IN A FEW CELLS. BORDERLINE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE DEPENDENT ON ENOUGH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING INSTABILITY. A FEW STRONGER STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE SPACE AND TREASURE COASTS SHOULD THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BE ABLE TO DEVELOP...BUT INLAND MOVEMENT WILL BE UNLIKELY DUE TO THE STRONGER OPPOSING FLOW. THE WARM MOIST FLOW WILL KEEP AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S AREAWIDE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL CONTINUE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S. ...PREVIOUS EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION... TUE-FRI...TROFFING PATTERN OVER THE ERN CONUS WILL RETROGRADE INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. THRU MIDWEEK AND EVENTUALLY DAMPEN OUT BY LATE WEEK AS THE H30-H20 JET MAX LIFTS INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND ERN CANADA. THIS WILL ALLOW THE ATLC RIDGE AXIS TO BUILD BACK INTO CENTRAL FL...BRINGING WITH IT A SLIGHTLY DRIER AND MORE SUPPRESSED AIRMASS ALONG WITH A WEAKER STEERING FLOW. PRECIP COVERAGE WILL DIMINISH BACK TO THE MORE SEASONABLE SCT COVERAGE. NO CHANGE IN AIRMASS...MAX TEMPS WILL REMAIN WITHIN A FEW DEGS OF CLIMO AVG (L90S). ONSHORE FLOW WILL DVLP AS THE RIDGE REPOSITIONS ITSELF...KEEPING MIN TEMPS BTWN 3-5F ABV AVG (M/U70S)...INTERIOR MIN TEMPS NEAR AVG (L/M70S). && .AVIATION...SCT-NMRS PULSE-TYPE STORM CELLS TO CONTINUE ACROSS ECFL INTO EARLY EVENING.

S/SSW FLOW 10-15 KTS TO CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A WIND SURGE WITH A PERIOD AWAY FROM THE COAST OF WINDS AROUND 15 KTS. OFFSHORE MOVING STORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING...AND OVER THE GULF STREAM INTO TONIGHT. BOATERS WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE WESTWARD AS A FEW CELLS WILL CONTAIN CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS. SEAS MAINLY 2-4 FT. WINDS/SEAS LOCALLY HIGHER INVOF HEAVIER SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY. SUN-MON...THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IS FORECAST TO ADVANCE A BIT NORTHWARD DURING THIS TIME BUT WILL STILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE LOCAL COASTAL WATERS. S/SSW FLOW WILL CONTINUE WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING LATE SUN AND WINDS INCREASING TO 15-20 KTS AWAY FROM THE COAST. CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY FOR LATE ON SUN. THE GRADIENT RELAXES A BIT ON MON WITH WIND SPEEDS DECREASING TO 10-15 KTS NEAR SHORE AND 15 KTS OFFSHORE. A HIGHER COVERAGE OF OFFSHORE MOVING STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST. SEAS 2-4 FT INTO SUN AFTN INCREASING TO 3-5 FT OVERNIGHT SUN NEAR SHORE AND 4-6 FT OFFSHORE NORTH OF THE CAPE. A GRADUAL DOWNWARD TREND OF SEAS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY ON MON. ...PREVIOUS EXTENDED MARINE DISCUSSION...

LUCIE-MARTIN-COASTAL VOLUSIA- SOUTHERN LAKE-NORTHERN BREVARD- 1155 AM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP WITHIN AMPLE MOISTURE AND FAVORABLE WESTERLY STEERING WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. STORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PENINSULA. THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE TREASURE COAST OF MARTIN...SAINT LUCIE AND INDIAN RIVER COUNTIES...AND POSSIBLY PORTIONS OF BREVARD COUNTY. HOWEVER...THE SEA BREEZE SHOULD REMAIN NEAR THE COAST AND NOT PUSH FAR INLAND. A FEW STRONG STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY AS INCOMING STORMS INTERACT WITH THE SEA BREEZE. THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...STRONG WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH AND POSSIBLE SMALL HAIL. MOVEMENT WILL BE TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH. PERSONS PLANNING TO BE OUTSIDE SHOULD REMAIN AWARE THAT STORMS MAY APPROACH RAPIDLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST. BE PREPARED TO MOVE INSIDE A STURDY BUILDING BEFORE STORMS NEAR YOUR LOCATION. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STORMS WILL HAVE A MODERATE TO HIGH POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS OVER INLAND LAKES AS WELL AS COASTAL WATERWAYS. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PUSH DEVELOPED STORMS ACROSS THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS OF THE SPACE AND TREASURE COASTS AND ONTO THE NEARSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SOUTH OF THE CAPE BUT REMAINED PINNED TO THE COAST. THE STORMS SHOULD INCREASE IN INTENSITY AS THEY INTERACT WITH THE SEA BREEZE LATER THIS AFTERNOON NEAR THE COAST. STORM MOTION IS TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL LEAD TO A RELATIVELY HIGHER COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON STORMS ALONG WITH A LINGERING POTENTIAL FOR OFFSHORE MOVING STORMS ALONG THE COAST. A FEW STRONGER STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON WITH THE PRIMARY THREATS BEING FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
