AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
309 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2015

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT...ATMOSPHERE SLIGHTLY MOISTER TODAY BUT MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES ABOUT THE SAME AS THURSDAY AT AROUND -8C. ONE NOTICEABLE
DIFFERENCE WAS THAT THE CAPE CANAVERAL SOUNDINGS OF THE PAST DAY OF
3 SOUNDINGS WERE INDICATING THAT A STRONG DRY SUPPRESSIVE ATMOSPHERE
HAD DEVELOPED FROM AROUND 500MB/15000-18000 FEET AND UP. THE
COMBINATION OF THE WARMING MID LAYERS AND THE CAP FROM AROUND 500MB
AND UP WOULD TEND TO INHIBIT SIGNIFICANT CELL DEVELOPMENT. RADAR
TRENDS WERE SHOWING OUTFLOWS FROM THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON
CONVECTION OVER WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA MOVING TOWARD THE EAST AND
POTENTIALLY MERGING WITH THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE/VARIOUS LAKE
BREEZE BOUNDARIES FROM AROUND LAKE GEORGE TO EAST SUBURBS OF ORLANDO
SOUTH TO OKEECHOBEE.

TONIGHT...CONVECTION OVER THE INTERIOR AND COASTAL VOLUSIA SHOULD
LAST AN HOUR OR TWO PAST SUNSET THEN WIND DOWN THROUGH MIDNIGHT AS
STORMS FED BY BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS LINGER. DEBRIS CLOUDINESS
SHOULD THIN OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT LEAVING MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES BY SUNRISE. ANOTHER WARM NIGHT WITH SATURDAY MORNING
LOWS GENERALLY IN THE MID 70S INTERIOR AND UPPER 70S MAINLAND
COASTAL/AROUND 80 BEACHSIDE FROM AROUND PATRICK AFB SOUTH.

SATURDAY...WHATS LEFTOVER OF TD BILL MOVES FROM THE KY/IL/OHIO RIVER
AREA TO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WHERE THE GFS HAS IT MERGING/BEING ABSORBED
BY ANOTHER LOW APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. THE MID LEVEL WARM AIR
ADVECTION AHEAD OF "TD BILL" MAINTAINS THE DEEP LAYER HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHEAST AND FLORIDA. GFS KEEPS THE HIGH
AT AROUND 593/593 DECAMETERS WHICH WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP
ANY LARGE SCALE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS AWAY FROM THE DEEP SOUTH...GA
AND AL AND FLORIDA. NOT AS WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW 90S COAST
AND MID 90S INTERIOR.

.SUN...THE TROUGHING ASSOCIATED WITH THE MERGER OF TD BILL AND THE
LOW APPROACHING FROM THE MID WEST STRETCHES ALONG THE EASTERN SEA
BOARD TO THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO. THE TROUGHING SUPPRESSES THE
DEEP LAYER RIDGING TO FIRMLY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA BUT THE MID LEVEL
WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE TROUGHING MAINTAINS A STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE AREA OF AROUND 594 DECAMETERS OVER THE SOUTHEAST...FLORIDA
AND THE SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN SEA AND CUBA.

.MON...THE MID LEVEL TROUGHING FINALLY WEARS DOWN THE STRONG MID
LEVEL RIDGING TO AROUND 592 DECAMETERS. THE SURFACE/LOW LEVEL RIDGES
ARE PUSHED TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. THIS SETS UP A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WIND FLOW PATTERN FOR MON MORNING THEN SEA SEA BREEZES IN THE
AFTERNOON. HIGHS MID 90S INTERIOR AND LOW 90S COAST FROM SOUTH
BREVARD TO MARTIN AND INLAND TO OKEECHOBEE AND SOUTHERN OSCEOLA.+

PREVIOUS AFD

TUE-FRI...IT APPEARS THE MID LVL RIDGE WILL RE-ESTABLISH ITSELF
ACROSS THE SE STATES FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK RETURNING MID
LAYER FLOW FROM THE EAST WITH THE ATLC RIDGE EXTENDING ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL FL INTO THE GULF. LOWEST RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE
TREASURE COAST BEACHES WITH HIGHER AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
ACROSS THE NRN INTERIOR EACH AFTERNOON. OVERALL INFLUENCE FROM THE
MID LVL RIDGE TO THE NORTH SHOULD WILL REDUCE RAIN CHANCES TO NEAR
20 PCT ALONG CSTL SECTIONS TO AROUND 30 PCT ACROSS THE NRN INTERIOR.
HIGHS WILL REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE AROUND 90/LOWER 90S ALONG THE COAST
AND 93-95 ACROSS THE INTERIOR WITH LOWS IN THE 70S.

&&

.AVIATION...TEMPO MVFR INTERIOR 19Z-24Z IN/VC SCT TSTMS. MVFR AT
THE COAST FROM VC INTERSTATE 95 WEST AS THE SEA BREEZE INITIATED
TSTMS MOVE SLOWLY INLAND. ISOLD GUSTS 40 KNOTS PLUS VC STRONGER
STORMS MAINLY KMCO KSFB KDED NORTH TO LAKE GEORGE AND WEST AND
KOMN TO KEVB COASTAL VOLUSIA.

&&

.MARINE...

TONIGHT...ATLC RIDGE JUST EAST OF THE AREA WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTHERLY
FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS WITH SPEEDS LESS THAN 15 KNOTS. WINDS WILL
BECOME SOUTHEAST NEAR THE COAST AS SEA BREEZE DEVELOPS AND MOVES
INLAND THIS AFT. SEAS WILL RANGE FROM 1-3 FEET.

SAT-SUN...WINDS AROUND THE ATLC RIDGE THIS WEEKEND WILL BE SOUTHERLY
TO SOUTHEASTERLY ALONG THE COAST EACH AFTERNOON. WINDS MAINLY 5-10
KNOTS DURING DAYTIME PERIODS...STRONGER NEAR NEARSHORE WITH THE
AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE. EXPECT A NOCTURNAL INCREASE TO 10-15 KNOTS
EACH NIGHT. SEAS NEAR 2 FT AT THE COAST AND 2-3 FT OFFSHORE. THERE
WILL BE A CHANCE OF LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS MAINLY NORTH
OF CAPE CANAVERAL OVER THE WEEKEND.

MON-TUE...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AROUND
THE ATLC RIDGE WITH A SE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION NEAR SHORE EACH
AFTERNOON. SEAS SHOULD REMAIN 2-3 FT WITH MOST AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FOCUSING INLAND AWAY FROM THE NEAR SHORE WATERS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON WILL
LEAD TO A GREATER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG THE INLAND
MOVING EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. WHILE GREATEST STORM COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE INTERIOR WITH BOUNDARY COLLISIONS LATE IN
THE DAY AND TOWARD SUNSET...A FEW STORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE
ALONG THE COAST EARLY AS THE SEA BREEZE INITIALLY FORMS.

THE STRONGEST STORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE INTERIOR WITH THE EAST
AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZE COLLISION LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THE
MAIN THREATS WILL BE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND STRONG
WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH. STORM MOTION WILL BE SLOW AND ERRATIC
TODAY...WHICH WILL PRODUCE RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES IN A
60 TO 90 MINUTE PERIOD. THIS COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED MINOR PONDING
OR TEMPORARY FLOODING OF ROADS OR URBAN AREAS.

.EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
HOT TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH AVERAGE FLORIDA HUMIDITY LEVELS
WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDICES AROUND 100 AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...
WITH VALUES BETWEEN 100 AND 105 MAINLY OVER THE INTERIOR
COUNTIES. STAY WELL HYDRATED AND TAKE OCCASIONAL BREAKS IN AIR
CONDITIONING IF YOU ARE PLANNING OUTDOOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE INLAND MOVING EAST COAST
SEA BREEZE THIS AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY SLOW MOVING STRONGER STORMS ACROSS THE
INTERIOR.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
SLIGHTLY HIGHER MOISTURE...AND WEAKENING OF MID TO UPPER LEVEL
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE NORTH OF THE REGION...SHOULD ALLOW FOR
SCATTERED AFTERNOON STORMS DURING THE WEEKEND...MAINLY OVER
INLAND COUNTIES.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL STILL REACH THE MID 90S OVER THE CENTRAL
FLORIDA INTERIOR THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH MAXIMUM HEAT INDEX
VALUES CONTINUING TO REACH 100 TO 105 DEGREES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
