NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 10, 3:02 PM EST, 58 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 402 PM EDT Sun Jul 10 2022 .DISCUSSION... ...Continued Hot and Humid the Next Several Days With Afternoon Storms... Current-Tonight... Scattered showers and storms ongoing this afternoon, mainly from Lake Okeechobee through Indian River county northward. Storm motion is northwest at 10-15 mph. Activity initially developing across west central FL by mid to late morning, then pushed eastward to east central FL by early afternoon. The east coast sea breeze has formed across Martin and St. Lucie counties around 2 PM this afternoon, and is slowly pushing inland. However, the boundary is expected to stall near to just east of I-95. Deeper moisture remains over the local area this afternoon, allowing for scattered showers and storms to continue into early evening. Activity is expected to push through east central FL from the west coast, and pushing offshore the Atlantic coast. There remains some uncertainty with rain chances across the Treasure Coast this afternoon depending on how far the sea breeze pushes inland. If the sea breeze remains closer to the coast, especially in St. Lucie county where the sea breeze hasn't moved in as far as of 330 PM, any developing storms may shift quickly offshore, missing much of the coastal county. Have maintained PoP 60 percent for much of east central Florida, with a pocket of 50 percent across portions of the far western interior. The highest PoPs are near to north of Orlando where moisture is greater and toward the coast where sea breeze/outflow boundary collisions are favored late afternoon through sunset. The 15Z XMR sounding, as well as forecast soundings, continues to show fairly warm temperatures aloft (-5 to -6C at 500mb) as well as decent DCAPE values (ranging from 800-1040 J/kg), which will support a few stronger storms capable of producing frequent cloud- to-ground lightning strikes, gusty winds of 40-50mph and locally heavy downpours of 2-3 inches. Hot and humid this afternoon, with plenty sun shine earlier in the day, especially across the south. Due to the late sea breeze formation and sufficient day time heating, have dumped up afternoon temps a tad along the coast, so the afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 90s along the coast (best chance for mid 90s will be from Melbourne southward through the Treasure Coast), and low to mid 90s across the interior. Dewpoints in the low to mid 70s will again lead to peak heat index values around 102-107. Not much relief overnight, with overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s under partly cloudy skies. Monday-Wednesday...(Modified Previous Discussion) Mid level ridge gradually builds W-NW across the FL peninsula as a weak low that pinches off the tail of a trough drifts slowly westward over the N-central and NW GOMEX. This will effectively break a small vort lobe off the surface trough that has been draped across the SE CONUS for the past several days, carrying it westward along the mid level system. This will allow for a slight decrease in mean moisture Tue-Wed compared to Mon as DLM ridging builds overhead. For POPs, went with 40-50 coast/60 inland Mon and 40 coast/50 inland for Tue-Wed. This follows the NBM pretty closely, but is slightly lower for Tue. Above normal temps continue with maxes generally in the L90s along the coast and L-M90s inland, with some locales likely to reach 96-97F Tue-Wed. Mins in the M-U70s. Max afternoon heat indices will reach the 101-107F range each day. Thursday-Sunday...(Previous Discussion) Mid level ridge over FL is progged to weaken from a combination of remnants of a northern stream trough to the north and a weak inverted trough moving W-NW from the Caribbean. The combination of height falls aloft and increasing mean moisture, as low level flow backs from S-SW to SE-S, should to result in higher coverage of diurnal showers/storms, with POPs in the numerous/likely category through next weekend. Max temps L90s coast/M90s inland Thu, then ranging from around 90F at the coast to L90s inland Fri-Sun. Mins in the 70s, && .AVIATION... VFR conditions outside of convection expected through the TAF period. MVFR/IFR CIGs/VIS in stronger storms this afternoon. Scattered SHRA/TSRA ongoing, and will continue through the afternoon and early evening hours. VCTS for all locations this afternoon, lasting until around 2Z. Tempo groups for 15G25KT 3SM BKN030 for KLEE/KDAB/KMCO/KSFB/KTIX where storms are already pushing through. Still holding off on adding TEMPO groups to the southern sites due to uncertainty. Will continue to monitor and may need to amend and add TEMPO down across the south if the sea breeze can push far enough inland and initiate convection. Activity will shift offshore through the evening, with rain chances ending by midnight. Light southwest winds overnight. && .MARINE... Current-Today... Favorable boating conditions outside of convection through the time period. Current buoy 41009 observations show seas are 2 feet with S wind around 14 KT. The east coast sea breeze has formed along the Martin and St. Lucie counties and is slowly pushing inward, however it is expected to stall near to just east of I-95. S/SW flow continues this afternoon at 10-15 knots. Due to the stronger southwest flow, there is a greater chance for offshore moving scattered storms into the afternoon and evening hours. Isolated stronger storms producing frequent lightning strikes and gusty winds near or in excess of 35 knots will be possible. Seas generally 2-3 feet (up to 4 feet offshore tonight). Monday-Friday... (Modified Previous Discussion) Surface ridge axis remains south of central FL Mon- Tue, slowly lifting north across the Treasure Coast Wed and the Space Coast Thu and Fri. S-SW flow continues through early week, backing to onshore/E-SE both afternoons, then slowly veers to S-SE by Thu. Speeds generally 10-15kt range, with seas 2ft along the coast, 3 to occasionally 4ft farther offshore. Risk for offshore-moving storms continues at least through Wednesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Scattered showers and storms will develop initially across west central Florida and then move northeast around 10 to 15 mph across the area and offshore, mainly during the afternoon hours. However isolated storms may begin to move into areas northwest of Interstate 4 by mid to late morning. Storms may increase in coverage from sea breeze boundary collisions toward the east coast from late afternoon through sunset. A few stronger storms will be possible, producing frequent lightning strikes, strong wind gusts to 40 to 50 mph and locally heavy rainfall around 2 to 3 inches in a 60 to 90 minute period. Move indoors to safety at the first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Highs in the low to mid 90s combined with humid conditions will produce heat index values around 102 to 107 this afternoon. Make sure if planning outdoor activities today, that you stay hydrated and take plenty of breaks in air conditioned spaces. Also, never leave a child or pet unattended in a vehicle. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... There will be a Moderate Risk of rip currents at all east central Florida beaches today. To reduce your risk of getting caught in the seaward pull of a rip current, always swim near a lifeguard and never enter the ocean alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... A few stronger storms may be able to produce wind gusts to 35 knots through the afternoon and early evening hours as they move northeast around 10 to 15 knots over inland lakes and eventually offshore. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. Coverage of afternoon showers and lightning storms is expected to remain scattered to numerous through the upcoming week. A few stronger storms are expected to produce frequent lightning strikes, gusty winds up to 40 to 50 mph, and torrential downpours. Hot and humid conditions will continue across the area for the next several days, with highs in the low to mid 90s and afternoon heat index values peaking around 102 to 107. A moderate risk of rip currents is expected to continue through early this week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed this afternoon and tonight. Weitlich/Watson
