Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 242 PM EDT Sun Jul 12 2020
DISCUSSION.
Rest of Today-Tonight . Dry mid-level air has made its presence felt today suppressing much of any shower/storm activity that has tried to develop north of Ft. Pierce. A cluster of lightning storms moved across the southern Treasure Coast late morning into early afternoon. These storms have pushed offshore as light to moderate rain lingers in Martin County.
Some high res models still showing scattered lightning storms developing from Orlando to Daytona Beach and east by late afternoon, but this looks to be overdone. Cannot rule out a stray shower or lightning storm into this evening, so kept a 20 percent chance of rain from Melbourne north, and 30-40 percent to the south (also to account for ongoing rainfall). Activity will wind down by sunset as dry conditions persist into tonight. Temps overnight near normal in the low to mid 70s.
Monday-Tuesday . (Modified Previous Discussion) Mid/upper level trough remains positioned down the spine of the eastern seaboard, stretching across the FL peninsula into the GOMEX, remaining the center point between two upper ridges over the TX Gulf Coast and central Atlantic.
A surface boundary associated with this trough will stall over South FL on Monday, keeping axis of highest moisture draped across Lake Okeechobee to the Treasure Coast, with drier air present across most of Central FL. This will lead to a distinct gradient of rain chances; no mentionable rain chance north of I-4, around 10-20 percent from Kissimmee to Melbourne, and the highest coverage of showers and storms along the Treasure Coast to Lake Okeechobee at 40 percent.
On Tuesday, the boundary lifts northward along with the upper trough, expanding PW values near 2.00" across much of the forecast area. As a result, rain chances return to "normal" July ranges from 30-50 percent, and diurnally driven convection along the sea breeze and erratic boundary collisions. Highs will continue to run above normal through the period approaching the mid 90s leading to heat index values above 100 degrees. Nighttime lows remain in the low to mid 70s.
Wednesday-Saturday . (Previous Discussion) Upper ridge dominates the southern CONUS in the latter portion of the week, as week upper level disturbances transit across the FL peninsula and Caribbean. At the surface, the Atlantic ridge axis lifts northward from its position over south FL late on Wednesday, leading to a 180 degree wind shift from west to east by Thursday morning. While the onshore flow regime typically favors diurnal convective development across the interior and towards the west FL coast, a steady stream of moisture from the southeast will keep PW well above 2.00" and thus PoPs of 60-70 percent areawide each day through next weekend. While the most favorable location for boundary collisions will be over the interior, most of east central FL will experience rain and storms at some point through the next 7 days.
The swap to onshore flow will work to influence afternoon high temperatures slightly; Wednesday highs will approach the mid 90s, but after the wind reversal on Thursday, highs become seasonal in the upper 80s at the coast to low 90s across the interior. Lows remain in the mid to upper 70s, with continued chances of warm minimum records.
AVIATION.
Dry air has kept conditions clear across much of the area. Scattered storms moved through VRB/FPR/SUA earlier and now just light to moderate rain is lingering. If any storms manage to develop this afternoon/early evening expect coverage to be very low, with little to no impacts at the terminals. For that reason, removed much of the VCSH/VCTS from the TAFs. Conditions look similar for Monday, highest shower/storm chances from KVRB south.
MARINE.
Rest of Today-Tonight . A cluster of storms moved across the waters south of Ft. Pierce Inlet earlier this afternoon. Now these storms are pushing well offshore with mostly dry conditions persisting over the rest of the local waters. Could see a shower or two develop along the coast through late afternoon as the sea breeze develops, but coverage and intensity will be low. Onshore winds behind the sea breeze will become west again after sunset at 10-15 knots. Seas 1-2 feet nearshore and 3-4 feet far offshore.
Monday-Thursday . West/southwest flow of 10-15 kts will prevail through the early part of the week. By mid week the Atlantic ridge axis builds back across the peninsula, swinging westerly winds onshore. Below average rain chances on Monday with dry air still over the area, then increasing rain chances as we go through the rest of this week. Seas generally 2-3 feet with the continued threat of scattered afternoon thunderstorms by mid week.
