Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 356 AM EDT Thu Jul 2 2020

DISCUSSION.

Today . A deep mid/upper level trough extends along the eastern seaboard to NE FL with mid level impulses traversing the nrn portion of the state. Fairly deep moisture is progged across east central FL today as PWATs increase to 1.9 to 2.1 inches. Mid level temps remain on the warm side but with surface temps reaching the mid 90s and low to mid level westerly flow to 20 knots expect scattered storms to develop into early afternoon initially across the north and then moving toward coastal sections from Volusia/Brevard and Indian River counties by mid to late afternoon, additional convective development is expected into the late aftn and early evening for the southern Treasure coast. Scattered storms will push toward the near shore Atlantic waters posing a hazard for small craft with convective gusts to 35 knots or greater. An east swell and larger than normal tidal range will contribute to a moderate risk for rip currents at east central FL beaches.

Tonight . Isolated storms will be possible across the southern Treasure Coast into the evening hours and then the shower/storm activity will move offshore by midnight. A trailing band of deeper moisture ahead of a surface front dropping toward N FL will continue a low chance for showers across northern sections overnight. Lows are expected mainly in the mid 70s.

Friday-Sunday . Weak front will linger north of the area keeping subtropical ridge axis south of Florida through late week into the holiday weekend. Deep moisture (PW values 2+ inches), prevailing westerly flow and a more disturbed pattern aloft will keep rain chances elevated through the period. Currently have PoPs ranging from 60-80 percent from Brevard/Osceola counties northward and around 40-50 percent farther south through the 4th, and then 60-80 percent area wide Sunday as models show deeper moisture spreading southward. Scattered to numerous showers look to develop initially across west central Florida each day and shift eastward across the area through the late morning and afternoon before pushing offshore. Any storm or boundary interactions with the east coast sea breeze (should it be able to develop) may enhance convection near the coast with a few stronger storms possible.

Offshore winds will favor warmer than normal temperatures, but this may be offset some this weekend should convection and increased cloud cover develop earlier in the day, especially across central and northern portions of east central Florida. Highs are forecast to reach the low to mid 90s across much of the area Friday and Saturday, with max temps in the upper 80s/near 90 from Orlando northward Sunday and low 90s farther south.

Monday-Wednesday . Pattern remains fairly similar into next week with weak front/trough lingering north of the area with westerly offshore flow persisting. This will continue the trend of above normal rain chances (as high as 60-80 percent), especially early in the week, with the threat for a few stronger storms and localized heavy rainfall from any training showers and storms persisting each day. Temperatures expected to remain near to above normal as westerly winds either delay or prevent east coast sea breeze formation, with highs reaching the low to mid 90s each afternoon.

AVIATION. VFR conds are expected today outside of scattered convection which will develop initially north of a KISM-KMLB line by mid day into early afternoon, SCT TSRA will move toward the cstl corridor from KDAB-KVRB by mid afternoon and then affect KFPR-KSUA in the late aftn/eve. For now have VCTS most terminals for the afternoon hours with short TEMPO windows likely needed for some terminals later today.

MARINE.

Today . SW winds expected to 10-15 knots with seas 2 ft nearshore to 3 ft well offshore. Scattered storms will move toward the intracoastal and near shore Atlantic waters this afternoon with some of the stronger storms capable of producing convective wind gusts in excess of 35 knots.

Tonight . SW-W winds will increase to around 15 knots offshore with seas 2 ft near shore to around 3 ft offshore.

Fri-Mon . Ridge axis remains south of the region during the period, as a weak front/trough persists near to north of Florida/Georgia state line. This will keep a W/SW flow across the waters that will become S/SE nearshore each afternoon as the sea breeze forms and likely remains pinned near the coast each day. Wind speeds look to remain less than 15 knots with seas 1-3 feet.

Main concern for boaters will be the threat of gusty offshore moving scattered to numerous showers and storms each afternoon as an offshore steering flow persists from late weekend into early next week.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
