NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 21, 2:51 PM EST, 3 hours 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 351 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2014 .DISCUSSION... THROUGH TONIGHT...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CRUISING SOUTHEAST ACROSS BREVARD AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES WILL INTERSECT THE DEVELOPING EAST COAST SEA BREEZE SOUTH OF THE CAPE. THIS WILL PRODUCE AN INCREASE IN STORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY SOUTH OF ORLANDO INTO EARLY EVE. ALTHOUGH 500 MB TEMPS ARE ONLY -7.1C FROM THE 11 AM CAPE SOUNDING...THE ATMOS IS A LITTLE DRIER ESP IN THE MID LEVELS. COMBINE THIS WITH THE STRONG HEATING THAT HAS OCCURRED TODAY AND THE STEEPER LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 850 AND 700MB...THERE WILL BE AN ENHANCED THREAT FOR MICROBURSTS. THERE IS REHEATING OCCURRING BACK BEHIND THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS LAKE AND ORANGE COUNTIES WHERE THERE WASN'T MUCH RAINFALL SO ALTHOUGH THERE DON'T APPEAR TO BE (M)ANY BOUNDARIES TO SPARK CONVECTION IN THE NEAR TERM...EXPECT SOME AIRMASS STORMS TO DEVELOP IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE FOCUS FOR STORMS THROUGH EARLY EVE WILL BE OVER THE SOUTH HALF OF THE FA. CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT. SUNDAY LOOKS SIMILAR TO TODAY WITH OFFSHORE FLOW AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS. A LITTLE HIGHER MOISTURE ACROSS THE NORTH HALF SHOULD INITIATE CONVECTION LIKE TODAY BY AROUND NOON. SUN-MON...DLM RIDGE AXIS STAYS SUPPRESSED SOUTH OF FL WITH A TROUGH BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT ACROSS THE SERN CONUS. THIS WILL PLACE ECFL IN MOIST SW SURFACE FLOW WITH POPS AND TEMPS GENERALLY ABOVE CLIMO BY A COUPLE OF DEGS. THIS MEANS HIGH TEMPS REACHING THE LOW 90S EVEN AT THE COAST WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW AND DELAYED SEA BREEZE. GFS SHOWS INCREASED SUPPRESSION FROM RIDGE BUILDING ALOFT MONDAY SO STORM COVERAGE SHOULD BE LOWER ESP ACROSS THE SOUTH. TUE-SAT...DIFFS BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECM PERSIST W/R/T THE POSN OF THE NWD BUILDING DLM RIDGE FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW THE RIDGE BUILDING FARTHER EAST ACROSS FL AND THE BAHAMAS... WHILE THE ECM SHOWS THE RIDGE NOSING FARTHER WEST OVER THE CTRL-ERN GOMEX...WITH A WEAK TROUGH DOWNSTREAM OVER THE GOMEX. AT THE SURFACE THE GFS SHOWS THE ATLC RIDGE AXIS LIFTING SLOWLY NWD OVER THE CWA FROM TUE-THU...REMAINING OVER CTRL FL INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THE ECM FOR THE MOST PART KEEPS THE SFC RIDGE BETWEEN LAKE OKEE AND SOUTH FL. THE FORMER MODEL SOLN WOULD FOCUS SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS OVER THE INTERIOR CWA COUNTIES WHILE THE LATTER WOULD ARGUE FOR MORE UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION. BOTH SOLUTIONS KEEP FAIRLY HIGH PWATS IN PLACE...WHICH SHOULD KEEP POPS ON THE HIGH SIDE OF LATE JUNE CLIMATOLOGY...WHICH IS ABOUT 35-45 PCT. HAVE SHADED POPS ABOUT 10 PERCENT HIGHER INLAND FOR THE TIME BEING...50/60 FOR TUE/WED...AND 40/50 FROM THU-SAT. TEMPS SHOULD AVERAGE A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE CLIMO...OWING TO THE LACK OF STRONG EASTERLY FLOW PRODUCING A SLOWER INLAND-MOVING ECSB. && .AVIATION... OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PRESSING SOUTHEAST WILL INTERSECT THE DEVELOPING EAST COAST SEA BREEZE SOUTH OF THE CAPE. SO CURRENT TEMPO GROUPS FOR TSRA LOOK GOOD AT MLB/VRB/FPR/SUA. ADDL STORMS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTH INTERIOR TERMINALS (MCO/SFB/LEE) WHERE REHEATING IS OCCURRING BEHIND THE PREVIOUS CONVECTION. CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH BY 04Z. SUNDAY LOOKS SIMILAR WITH OFFSHORE FLOW AND CONVECTIVE INITIATION FROM MCO NORTH BETWEEN 16Z-18Z. && .MARINE... ONSHORE FLOW NEAR THE COAST IN A SEA BREEZE WILL QUICKLY RETURN TO OFFSHORE COMPONENT THIS EVE AND INCREASE TO 15 KNOTS OFFSHORE. A FEW STORMS WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST. SUN-WED...PROXIMITY OF LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL KEEP SEAS 2FT NEAR SHORE AND 3 FT OFFSHORE. WINDS GENERALLY OUT OT THE SW SUN-MON... S TO SW TUE-WED. WINDS BECOMING S-SE EACH AFTERNOON NEAR SHORE IN AN AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

LUCIE-MARTIN-COASTAL VOLUSIA- SOUTHERN LAKE-NORTHERN BREVARD- 1244 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2014 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... A DEEP WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DELAY THE ONSET OF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE AND CONFINE IT TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. STORMS WILL DEVELOP THROUGH MID AFTERNOON ALONG THE COAST AS THE BREEZE DRIFTS ONSHORE. SCATTERED STORMS ALSO WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF THE I-4 CORRIDOR AND WEST OF THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AS THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE PUSHES RAPIDLY INLAND. BY LATE AFTERNOON...STORMS WILL TRANSLATE TO THE INTERIOR COUNTIES SOUTH OF I-4 AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THE COASTAL STORMS PROPAGATE WESTWARD AND INTERACT WITH THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE. STORM MOTION WILL BE SOUTHEAST AROUND 15 MPH. THE PRIMARY WEATHER HAZARDS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES AND WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... THERE WILL BE A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES TODAY. THE RIP RISK WILL BE AT ITS GREATEST FROM LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNSET DUE TO TIDAL EFFECTS. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH WHICH WILL POSE A THREAT TO SMALL CRAFT ON THE INLAND LAKES AND THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. THE HIGHEST STORM POTENTIAL WILL BE OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST OVER THE AREA EACH AFTERNOON. A PREVAILING WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONCENTRATE STORM ACTIVITY ALONG THE EAST FLORIDA COAST FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY. BRAGAW
