Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
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. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Area Forecast Discussion . corrected. National Weather Service Melbourne FL 422 AM EST Tue Dec 10 2019
DISCUSSION.
. Near Record Highs for a Few Spots Today .
. Locally Heavy Rainfall Possible Wednesday night into Friday .
Today-Tonight . Through the early morning hours, isolated showers will linger along the immediate Brevard and Treasure Coasts with enough of an onshore wind component before the flow veers keeping the shower activity offshore. Patchy fog will also be possible through the early morning hours with any fog potential ending by 8- 9am.
For the rest of today, mid-level ridging overhead gets nudged eastward by longwave troughing over the center of the CONUS. A southwest flow will develop aloft while the low-level ridge axis remains across central Florida. Warm advection due to the south to southwesterly flow in the low-levels will give us another afternoon of well above average temperatures with highs expected to be in the mid 80s. Some daily record highs temperatures will be approached with the greatest potential of being tied or broken at Sanford (see climate section below).
The atmosphere will not be as suppressed with less of an influence of the mid-level ridge, so some shower development is possible during the afternoon hours. However, there will still be a lot of dry air aloft to overcome, so rain chances are only 20% or less.
By this evening, rain chances increase into the early overnight hours as the models are showing an area of higher moisture moving in from the S/SW along with some isentropic ascent. Highest chances will be south of I-4 (30%) and 20% north before this activity shifts offshore after midnight.
Afterwards, conditions appear favorable for fog development, some locally dense, and most model guidance seems to be on board. Highest potential looks to be west of an Okeechobee to New Smyrna Beach line where "Areas" wording has been included while areas to the east have "Patchy" mention. Very mild overnight lows in the mid to upper 60s for most and near 70 for the beaches
Wednesday-Friday . A strung out vort axis emanating from the tail end of a northern stream mid level short wave trough will push across the SE CONUS and FL panhandle through Wed night. As it does, the surface cold front draped across NOFL will sag south into ECFL with brisk onshore NE-E overspreading the area Thu-Thu night as the boundary stalls. As low pressure develops over the NE GOMEX and moves NE into the SE CONUS Fri, winds quickly veer SE-S as the front lifts back across NOFL/GA. As the low lifts rapidly NE through mid Atlantic states through Fri night, it will drag a pre-frontal trough back across ECFL Fri night. Clouds and rain chances increase during the Thu-Fri period, with a few TS possible along both the warm front and pre-frontal trough passages.
Rain chances look to average 10-20 percent higher near the coast (50- 60) vs inland (30-40). Locally heavy rainfall totals (2-4"+) will be possible in a few spots along/near the east coast, however pinning down which counties/locales ahead of time is problematic, so best to broad brush to some degree in the HWO. Expect above normal temps through the period - mainly M-U70s north to L80s south, with mins generally in the L-M60s.
Saturday-Monday . Mid level troughing over the central-eastern CONUS flattens, allowing the flow to become zonal locally. A few lingering showers Saturday (mainly early) will exit the region, with a drier (but still mild/warm) air mass taking hold into early next week. Maxes in the 75-80F range with mins in the U50s-L60s most areas.
AVIATION. Conditions are expected to be primarily VFR through the TAF period although some patchy fog and/or brief MVFR/IFR ceilings will be possible through 14Z or so this morning. Otherwise, isolated showers are possible this afternoon but coverage much too low for TAF mention. Higher rain chances increase after sunset so most sites have VCSH after 00Z. Models are also hitting fog pretty hard overnight tonight into Wednesday morning, and restrictions for this will likely show up in the 12Z TAF package.
MARINE. Today-tonight . Surface ridge axis extending across the waters will provide s S/SE flow around 15 knots. There could be a brief period of 15-20 kt winds overnight tonight so a cautionary statement may be needed. Winds will begin to veer to SSW overnight as the next cold front approaches. Seas will remain 3-4 ft nearshore and 4-5 ft offshore.
Wednesday-Saturday . Onshore flow will increase from N-S behind the cold FROPA Wed night-Thu AM, reaching speeds of 15-20KT near shore and 20-25KT offshore. This will allow seas to build as high as 6-8FT offshore and over the Gulf Stream Wed night, then to 9-11FT in a building swell through Thu night as NE-E fetch lengthens. Winds will gradually veer more southerly early Fri, then SW late Fri into early Sat as the GOMEX low lifts rapidly NE across the eastern CONUS, and then W-NW behind the trailing prefrontal trough through Sat night.
Confidence is high that an SCA will eventually be needed for the 20- 60NM legs offshore Volusia/Brevard Cos, and possibly south of SIPF1 as well.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
