Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 915 AM EDT Wed Apr 17 2019 .UPDATE... ...Windy Friday with Fast-Moving Strong to Severe Storms in the Afternoon/Evening... Nothing more to add to the forecast for this morning's update. The 10Z XMR sounding shows a large subsidence inversion around 850 mb/5000 ft AGL and very dry air extending up through about 25000-30000 ft AGL (cirrus level). This sums up the forecast perfectly for today...no rain with some passing cirrus clouds overhead. In the lower levels of the atmosphere the high pressure ridge axis to our north will provide onshore east to east- southeasterly flow bringing in some marine stratocu from the Atlantic. Temperatures will run near to slightly above normal today with low 80s along the coast and mid 80s across the interior. && .AVIATION... VFR the next 24 hours. && .MARINE... Today-Tonight (previous)...Weak surface high pressure off of the southeast U.S. coast early this morning will continue to pull seaward over the next 24 hours.

Weather and ocean conditions will produce a Moderate Threat for dangerous Rip Currents at area beaches today. While rips will be present all day, the threat will be highest from around 1000 AM this morning through about 400 PM this afternoon due to tidal effects. Check with your local beach patrol for additional information about ocean hazards. Always swim only within sight of a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. Boating conditions are expected to deteriorate again by late Thursday through early Saturday ahead of the next strong cold front. Gale conditions will be likely on Friday with rapidly building seas. Isolated lightning storms will be possible on Thursday afternoon ahead of the approaching front. While scattered, fast-moving, lighting storms will be possible Friday morning and early afternoon, latest model guidance suggests Friday mid-afternoon and evening the best timing for a line of strong to severe lighting storms to race southwest to northeast across east central Florida. The primary threat will be damaging straight line winds followed by frequent lightning strikes, heavy rain and hail. A brief tornado or two will be possible. Gusty southwesterly surface winds can be expected during the day on Friday ahead of the front and a Wind Advisory may be necessary for all of east central Florida. An elevated threat for strong, life-threatening, rip currents will continue through late week at area beaches. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today. Sedlock
