(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmlb 260905 afdmlb area forecast discussion... Corrected national weather service melbourne fl 455 am edt Mon aug 26 2019 Discussion Current through tonight... Ecfl currently sits inside an area of light surface low level flow, with the wind and slp pattern resembling a dissipating trough developing col behind low pressure centered well offshore the coastal carolinas. Looking aloft, the h50 atlantic ridge continues to build westward over the southern and central peninsula. This trend will continue for the next 24 hours, with light variable winds gradually giving way to the development and inland push of the atlantic sea breeze. Diurnal convection will be initially driven by local sea and lake breeze boundaries again today, but then become more outflow dominant over the interior given the dearth of steering flow. Rain chances look to be a bit higher over the interior compared to the coastal counties. Mesoscale model guidance shows the ecsb to be more convectively active early in the afternoon, compared to the past several days. However, storms may be more numerous west of the coastal population corridor i.E from i-95 westward). Regardless, pops will be higher across the board (50 coast 60 inland) with the main storm threats remaining torrential downpours of 1-3" and cloud to ground lightning strikes. Max temps will range from around 90 along the coast to 93-94f well inland. Mins in the 70s. Tuesday-Wednesday... As the weak tropical low drifts northeast towards the north central atlantic, a surface to mid level ridge builds across the eastern gomex from the southern fl peninsula. Positioning between these two features will lead to light west to northwesterly flow mid week, with sea breeze development each afternoon. Precipitable water values remain over 2.00" which supports 50-60% pops Tuesday; however dry air wedge approaches the gulf coast on Wednesday, which may inhibit activity as pwats decrease to near 1.70". Sea breeze driven diurnal convection continues in the mid-range, with convection favored over the interior in the afternoon, then pushing toward the coast in light westerly steering flow. Temps remain at late august norms, with highs in the low 90s, lows in the mid 70s. Thursday-Friday... Another weak cold front digs across the deep south early Thursday, pausing before crossing the fl border. Winds ahead of this stalled front shift from NW to se, transporting higher moisture to the region. As discussed in previous forecasts, latest guidance does trend pops upward during this period, as a broad low forms along the stalled boundary, in turn, developing a more pronounced sea breeze driven convective setup in the afternoon. As a result, have drawn likely pops across all land areas Thursday and tailoring to just the far interior Friday in stronger southeasterly flow. Labor day weekend... All eyes shift to the weekend and the fate of |
dorian as tropical moisture approaches the fl peninsula. Have drawn pops near climo at 50%, however this may take an upward trend later this week depending on the evolution of the tropical cyclone. Models are still producing various solutions in the fate of dorian over the next seven days, as it moves wnw across the northeast caribbean and greater antilles, leading to much uncertainty in the forecast. For now, higher moisture is expected to reach fl by Saturday, leading to the potential for a soggy labor day weekend. Since any potential impacts are nearly a week away, and the peak of the hurricane season is rapidly approaching, all persons in florida should closely monitor forecasts and updates this week from both the national hurricane center and your local national weather service office. There's no better time than now to review your hurricane preparedness plan, and make sure you hurricane supply kit is fully stocked and up to date. Aviation Vfr with some scraps of cufra sc between 1.5-2.5kft through sunrise. Expect a fairly robust diurnal CU field to fill in with onset of shra TS near but perhaps just inland from the coastal corridor (mainly tix-mlb-sua) by 17-18z. Activity will become more numerous over the interior, mainly from 20-24z. Pops support tempo groups late today for the inland aerodromes, but are a little more marginal for the coastal sites. For the 06z package, the forecast now shows vcts in the 17z-21z time frame from tix-sua and 2hr tempo ts sometime within the 20-24z window for the interior. Marine Today-tonight... Almost nil pressure gradient over the local waters will yield a very light and rather chaotic wind flow of less than 10kt with seas 1-2ft near shore and 3ft well offshore. Winds will become onshore near the coast in the afternoon ecsb circulation. Scattered marine showers and a few storms, but nothing terribly strong is expected offshore today. Tuesday-Friday... Light westerly flow develops over the region on Tuesday, with brief onshore shifts as the sea breeze develops in the afternoon. By Thursday, winds shift southeasterly, dragging higher moisture to the region through the weekend. Offshore moving showers and thunderstorms are likely midweek, with activity transitioning to the interior later in the week. Winds 5-10 kts with persistent seas of 3 ft.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
