Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 316 AM EST Sun Jan 17 2021
DISCUSSION. Today-Tonight . It will be a cold start to the day, with patchy to areas of frost possible around daybreak, mainly across northern Lake and inland Volusia counties where some observations have shown temperatures have fallen as low as the mid 30s already. A Frost Advisory continues for this area through 8 AM this morning. Through the remainder of the day, cloud deck over west central Florida is expected to spread eastward in the low level westerly flow, with higher cloud deck expanding across the area later into the afternoon. This will lead to mostly cloudy skies, and keep temperatures cooler than normal, with highs in the low to mid 60s. Hi-res model guidance indicating some light precip occurring with higher cloud deck southeast of I-4 from late afternoon into the evening. However, any radar returns will most likely remain virga, as model soundings show a significant dry layer between 850-500mb which will help evaporate any of this precip before it reaches the ground.
Skies should remain mostly cloudy overnight, with temperatures not quite as cold as this morning. However, it will still be chilly with lows ranging from the the low to mid 40s across much of the area, except low 50s across Martin County.
Mon-Wed . Passage of a dry front early Monday will be largely unnoticeable aside from some higher clouds. a re-enforcing supply of dry cooler air across the area will keep cooler than normal readings in place as highs only remain in the M60s to around 70 and lows drop into the M-U30s inland and 40s along the central and southern coasts overnight. High pressure will remain the dominant feature across the SE states and FL through midweek. expect dry conditions with a slow warming trend.
Extended . Ridging begins to flatten near the FL peninsula with a zonal pattern across the southern tier of the Conus generally allowing for mild and stable conditions. No mentionable chc of pcpn will be included in the forecast through the remainder of the workweek with near to slightly above normal temperatures forecast the latter half of the upcoming week.
AVIATION. Cloud deck over west central Florida is expected to spread westward across the area through the day, with VFR cigs around 3500-4000 ft expected into the afternoon and into tonight. Winds will remain rather light, only increasing out of the west this afternoon to around 5-9kts.
MARINE. Today-Tonight . Westerly flow will weaken to around 5-10 knots nearshore and up to 10-15 knots today, with seas falling from 2-4 feet this morning, to 1-3 feet this afternoon. Deteriorating boating conditions then expected into tonight, as a reinforcing cold front approaches and begins to move into the waters late tonight. This will increase westerly flow up to 15-20 knots offshore after midnight, building seas up to 4-5 feet.
Mon-Thu . West-NW winds will increase temporarily Mon as a dry front moves offshore the SE US coast. Headlines may be required for winds around 15 to 20 kts over the outer waters. High pressure will orient closer to the area Tue, bringing lighter winds. Favorable conditions are expected through midweek as dominant high pressure brings winds generally 10 kts or less and seas 2 to 3 ft through the period.
FIRE WEATHER. The upcoming week will be dry with a slow warming trend from the morning cool temperatures beginning on Tuesday. RH values in the 40s this afternoon will become even drier Monday and Tuesday (in the M-U 30s after the passage of a dry front. Near critical conditions will be expected Monday although winds will remain below warning criteria.
