Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 355 AM EDT Wed Aug 5 2020

DISCUSSION.

. Numerous Afternoon and Evening Showers and Storms Expected Into This Weekend .

Today-tonight . Another convectively active day expected as the FL peninsula remains on the western flank of the low-mid level Atlantic ridge. Deep moisture feed continues with PWAT values between 2.0" and 2.1". Numerous to widespread showers/storms should develop from later morning throughout the afternoon, with a continued SW steering flow pushing storms NE back toward the east coast. Early initiation coupled with extensive coverage will result in TS outflows becoming primary mechanism for secondary redevelopment, rather than the sea breezes themselves.

Shaded the 70-90 POPs of the NBM back just a bit to 60-80, with slightly higher coverage around Lake Okeechobee given likelihood of sea/lake breeze interaction. Some storms will be capable of winds gusting to 40-50 mph, along with frequent lightning and downpours of 1-3". Max temps around 90 along the coast and L90s inland. Mins in the M-U70s.

Thursday-Friday . Guidance unchanged on indications of a moist regime, along with a favorable overall environment for development of deep convection with slow moving afternoon storms. Numerous lightning storms are expected. Locally heavy rain will be capable of causing standing water in lower spots and other flood prone locations. The subtropical Atlantic ridge is advertised to redevelop vertically across central FL beginning Friday, resulting in slightly lower rain chances late in the week. Expect lows in the mid 70s and highs in the low to mid 90s.

Weekend-Next Week . Presence of aforementioned ridge setting up at the surface near central FL will lead to additional airmass drying this weekend into early next week. PoP forecast will remain at least sct in coverage at the coast and likely inland with variable to light onshore steering winds. Daily flow patterns will be dominated by formation of the east coast breeze and development of local boundaries, which wl lead to daily storm chances highest across inland areas. Seasonal temperatures can be expected.

AVIATION. Pretty much a repeat of Tuesday, with low level flow backing ever-so-slightly. VFR through about 16Z, followed by an increasing coverage of IFR TS. All sites have 3hr duration TEMPO groups with an earlier (17Z-18Z) onset near the coast, and an hour or two later inland. G30-40kt expected near stronger TS.

MARINE. South winds 10-15kt backing onshore along the coast with the afternoon ECSB circulation. Seas 2-3ft near shore and 3-4ft offshore.

Thursday-Friday . Seas 2-3ft Thu, then 2 ft or less Fri and into the weekend. Locally higher winds and seas in scattered offshore moving storms during Thu.

Weekend-Next Week . Surface ridge establishing nearby will lead to favorable conditions with seas around 2 ft or less this weekend and into early next week.

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.
