Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 902 AM EDT Thu Jun 30 2022 .DISCUSSION... Current-Tonight...Fairly active this morning across the local coastal waters/Gulf Stream with SCT showers/lightning storms. Movement toward the N/NNE. Mid-upper level troughing continues across the FL peninsula with inverted surface reflection extending from north of Cape southwestward across central FL and through southwest FL. This feature will continue to press slowly NW during the day accompanied by deep moisture (2.04 inches KXMR morning sounding) and weak impulses aloft. By late morning/early afternoon as things heat up across ECFL, we should start to see convection developing in association with the ECSB across coastal counties with activity focusing inland thru mid to late afternoon and finally into WCFL into early evening. Individual cell movement will be slow/erratic due to the weak atmospheric wind profile in place. There remains a threat for heavy rains accumulating 2-3"+ through the aftn. Max temps U80s coast and L90s inland. Ongoing convection over the interior early in the evening will diminish with loss of daytime heating. The focus for shower/isolated storm development will shift back to the Atlc waters, mainly offshore but a chance for showers to brush the coast. Lows mainly in the M70s. && .AVIATION...Much of the convection over the coastal waters likely to stay there with movement toward the N/NNE. Some activity may brush the immediate Treasure Coast. Otherwise, daytime heating/sea breeze formation will allow for convective initiation along the coast by late morning or early afternoon with SCT showers/storms progressing inland (movement slow/erratic) through the late afternoon and early evening. As diurnal activity ends the biggest evening/overnight threat will be across the coastal waters, once again. Use of "vicinity" wording and tempo groups as necessary. TEMPO groups for IFR/MVFR CIGs/VSBYs invof convection. Light/variable morning winds gradually transition to light onshore, from the coast inland, during the afternoon. Light winds again this evening/overnight. && .MARINE...Today-Tonight...Ongoing SCT showers/lightning storms, northward moving, across the local waters this morning in response to deep moisture, energy aloft, and surface trough extending north of the Cape, southwestward through SW FL. This inverted surface trough will continue to press slowly NW during the day. Additional convection will develop near the coast later this morning into the aftn affecting portions of the intracoastal waters. Light offshore morning flow will transition back to S/SE 10-15 kts during the day; though variable at times due to the convection over the waters. Winds/seas locally higher invof stronger storms. Some nocturnal increase this evening should produce winds around 15 knots. The combination of an east swell and a wind chop will produce seas of 3 to 4 feet. && .MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Increased moisture will produce a higher coverage of showers and storms especially along local sea and lake breeze boundaries. Storms will develop along the coast by late morning then push inland during the afternoon and early evening. The primary threats will be cloud to ground lightning, torrential downpours, and brief wind gusts up to 40 mph. Move indoors at the first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder. .FLOOD IMPACT... Slow and erratic storm motion will produce locally heavy rainfall, accumulating 2 to 3 inches of rainfall in some areas, which would cause temporary flooding of roads and other poorly drained urban and low lying areas. Never drive across flooded roadways. The water depth may be too great to allow your vehicle to cross safely. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A Moderate risk of dangerous rip currents will exist at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. To lower your risk of getting caught in the seaward pull of a rip current, swim only within sight of a lifeguard, and never enter the ocean alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Storms will be capable of brief wind gusts up to 35 knots on inland lakes, the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic waters. .WATERSPOUT IMPACT... Conditions are favorable for an isolated waterspout over the near shore Atlantic waters and adjacent Intracoastal Waterway. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. Scattered to locally numerous showers and lightning storms are forecast for the remainder of this week. The main threats from any stronger storms will be frequent lightning, as well as gusty winds, and torrential downpours. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed this afternoon and tonight. Please report any rainfall amounts of 3 inches or greater, or observed flooding to the National Weather Service office in Melbourne.
