Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 330 AM EDT Fri Aug 7 2020

DISCUSSION.

Today-tonight . Some subtle changes to the synoptic pattern over the next 24hr. The weak central GOMEX mid level trough will continue to slowly fill as the western flank of the Atlantic ridge over Florida strengthens. At the surface, the SLP and wind flow pattern over the peninsula become somewhat amorphous as the ridge overhead broadens. and some slight drying occurs over south Florida, and possibly the far southern CWA. Pattern continues to signal lower diurnal shower/ TS chances for immediate coastal areas, with chances progressively increasing farther inland with the ECSB.

Dearth of H85-50 steering flow today (N-NE-ward drift @5 mph) will be dominated by sea breeze and thunderstorm OFB propagation. This will result in stationary or at best slow/erratic storm motion, enhancing the locally heavy rainfall potential, especially along boundary collisions and cell mergers. Will hit this a little harder in the HWO than in past days. Maxes range from 89-90F along the coast, 93-94F inland. Min range a few degrees either side of 75F.

Weekend-Next Week . Subtropical ridge axis will generally remain across the area over the next several days, with a weak low level south to southeasterly flow allowing the east coast sea breeze boundary to form and move slowly inland each afternoon. Moisture remains sufficient for scattered to numerous showers and storms developing along and ahead of this boundary during the afternoon and continuing through late day/early evening. Greatest rain chances and convective coverage will be over the interior where boundary collisions are more likely. PoPs this weekend will range from 30-50 percent along the coast to 50-60 percent across the interior, with rain chances then remaining around 50-70 percent through much of next week. A few stronger storms will be possible each afternoon, with strong wind gusts and frequent lightning the main threats. However, slow steering flow will also lead to localized heavy rainfall and the potential for minor standing water issues on roadways and in poor drainage areas.

Highs will remain slightly above normal through the extended, with max temps in the upper 80s to low 90s along the coast and low to mid 90s over the interior. Overnight lows will continue to range around the low to mid 70s.

AVIATION. VFR giving way to increasing coverage of diurnal TS. 0^Z TAf package assumes a slightly later starting/less active ECSB near the coastal aerodromes, with TEMPO TS groups for the inland 4 sites.

MARINE. Today-tonight . Very favorable boating conditions expected. Very weak flow pattern (SSW-SSE around 5kt) backing onshore at 10kt near the coast in the afternoon. Seas 1-2ft, with the threat for any strong offshore moving storms looking quite low.

Sat-Tue . Surface ridge axis across the area this weekend into early next week will continue favorable boating conditions across the coastal waters. Southerly winds each morning around 5 to 10 knots will become E/SE into the afternoon as the east coast sea breeze forms and moves inland. Seas will remain around 1-2 feet.

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.
