Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 907 AM EDT Tue Sep 3 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 905 AM EDT Tue Sep 3 2024 Current-Tonight...Earlier activity along the Treasure Coast has dissipated, but there is still WDLY SCT convective coverage across the Gulf Stream. Would not be surprised to see, again, earlier convective initiation along both (east/west coast) sea breezes with numerous boundary interactions thru the afternoon. The daily breeze will be more onshore with the sea breeze penetrating further and quicker into the interior this afternoon. Coverage and intensity should increase during the afternoon and early evening. Primary storm impacts remain cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, gusty winds locally up to 40-45 mph, and heavy downpours with the potential to produce locally high rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches in a 60 to 90 minute period, especially where training or multiple rounds occur. Storm motion will be slowly towards the north, but erratic movement is anticipated as various boundaries collide. Activity should pile up across the interior by late afternoon and will gradually diminish thru around sunset. Clouds will slowly thin thru the late evening and overnight. Afternoon highs in the U80s to L90s with peak heat indices, before any precip relief, topping out anywhere from 102-107F. Conditions remain humid overnight with lows in the 70s areawide. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFs) Issued at 727 AM EDT Tue Sep 3 2024 This morning's SHRA/TSRA has cleared out KFPR-KMLB for now, and remains mostly south of KSUA, but expect activity to pick back up along the coast again after 14Z. Possibly another early start to SCT-NUM SHRA/TSRA at inland terminals and KDAB late this morning. Went ahead and added VCSH at 15Z to all terminals, kept VCTS timing of 18Z for now, and added TEMPOs for +TSRA impacts at 19Z. Will need to closely monitor trends and may need to AMD VCTS and TEMPOs earlier. Sea breeze developing around 16Z should keep bulk of TSRA west of KTIX-KSUA, so held off TEMPOs there. Mostly clear conditions after 00Z, but debris -SHRA and ISO TSRA could linger later inland, and onshore moving SHRA remain possible, especially INVOF KMLB-KSUA. && .MARINE... Issued at 510 AM EDT Tue Sep 3 2024 High pressure over the eastern Great Lakes this morning will push east and off the New England coast Wed while also building down the eastern seaboard, bridging the weak trough laying just north of the local waters. The result will be more of an E/SE flow with speeds remaining below 15 knots thru Thu. Winds veer more southerly Fri-Sat as a weak boundary settles into north Florida. Seas 2-3 ft today, increasing 4-5 ft offshore Wed-Thu as some N/NE swell propagate into the waters, back down to 2-4 ft areawide on Fri-Sat. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Scattered showers and isolated lightning storms over the Atlantic waters and Treasure Coast will shift inland this afternoon with the east coast sea breeze and increase in intensity and coverage. Cell motion will be from south to north this morning but become lower and more erratic this afternoon over northern and interior sections, especially with additional boundary collisions. A few stronger storms may produce gusty winds 40 to 45 mph and frequent cloud to ground lightning. .EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IMPACT... Slow moving or persistent heavier showers or storms will have the potential to produce locally higher rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches in a 60 to 90 minute period. These amounts could produce minor flooding of roadways and poor drainage areas, especially where recent heavy rains have occurred. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A Moderate Risk for dangerous rip currents continues at all central Florida Atlantic beaches today. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday. Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms are forecast each afternoon this week. Heavy rainfall, lightning strikes and gusty winds will remain the primary threats. Heat and humidity will produce peak heat index values 102 to 106. At least a Moderate risk of dangerous rip currents is expected to continue at the beaches into next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
