AMZ500 Synopsis For Flagler Beach To Jupiter Inlet Out To 60 Nm- 413 Am Edt Fri Aug 23 2019
Synopsis..The atlantic ridge axis will weaken across north florida and adjacent atlantic waters into the weekend while an easterly wave moves across the local atlantic through the waters. This will generate a gentle to moderate east-northeast breeze through midday today, veering to southeast this afternoon, then south-southeast tonight and Saturday. As the wave/surface low moves northeastward away from the area into early next week, winds will veer more south to southwesterly as the atlantic ridge axis rebuilds across south florida.
Gulf stream hazards..None. The approximate location of the west wall of the gulf stream based on the real time ocean forecast system as of Thursday august 22nd. 39 nautical miles east of ponce inlet. 27 nautical miles east of port canaveral. 20 nautical miles east of sebastian inlet. 13 nautical miles east of fort pierce inlet. 8 nautical miles east of saint lucie inlet.

Area Discussion for - Melbourne, FL
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmlb 230800 afdmlb area forecast discussion national weather service melbourne fl 400 am edt Fri aug 23 2019 Discussion Today-tonight... the LCL wx pattern will begin to transition from the recent "dry" spell to a wetter one as a sharp inverted trof over the bahama bank fl straits works its way acrs the fl peninsula and into the ern gomex. This trof will work in tandem with a frontal trof over the ne conus to collapse the WRN flank of the bermuda ridge axis currently over N fl and the NE gomex. E NE low mid lvl flow to start the day will gradually shift to the se by early aftn, then S SE overnight as the fl peninsula gains the backside of the trof. Early mrng convection over the gulf stream coincides with an increasing moisture gradient: h100-h70 mean rh arnd 70pct north of the i-4 corridor increases to arnd 85pct over the treasure coast, and over 90pct over the bahamas. Mid lvls still in the dry side as h85-h50 avg dewpoint depressions arnd 10c along and north of i-4, decreasing to 4-5c over the treasure coast lake-o region. Dynamically speaking, the LCL airmass remains rather tepid. The leading edge of the h85-h50 vort and omega maxes assocd with the trof are on course to impact areas south of lake-o jupiter inlet, and while the tutt axis that has brought the recent dry spell has fully retreated, the resulting h30-h20 flow has largely collapsed as well. Furthermore, a mid lvl thermal ridge has built acrs the state with h70 temps running 10-11c and h85-h70 lapse rates arnd 4.5c km. H50 temps arnd -6c are unimpressive as well. This appears to be a "high pop low qpf" set-up as we transition to a the wetter pattern for the upcoming weekend. Pops will follow the moisture profile with 40pct along and north of i-4, increasing to 60pct over the space treasure coasts and lake-o region. QPF however, blow 0.25" north of i-4 and btwn 0.25"-0.50" along the treasure coast. Increasing cloud cover and precip will keep MAX temps in the u80s l90s south of i-4, lower rain chances north of i-4 will allow aftn readings to climb into the l m90s. Increasing southerly flow overnight will keep min temps in the m70s. Saturday-Sunday... regardless of any tropical development, the approach of invest 98l will bring a surge of tropical moisture over much of the fl peninsula, and a big increase in rain chances this weekend. Model forecast soundings indicate precipitable water (pwat) values of 2.00" for all of east central fl, with some areas along the coast possibly reaching up to 2.20" as the main moisture axis makes its closest approach to our area. There is good model agreement on high rain chances on both Saturday and Sunday, thus continued the current forecast of 50-60 percent chance of rain. Light southeast winds on Saturday will become southwest on Sunday, though variable winds are possible along the coast as a weak inverted trough sets up. Afternoon temps will climb to around 90 degrees, and overnight temps should be in the low to mid 70s. The main impacts from showers and lighting storms this weekend is going to be dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes, and locally heavy rainfall. Rainfall amounts of 2-3 inches will be possible, with locally higher amounts of 4 inches or more. This could lead to minor flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas. There is a noteworthy spread between the gfs, ecmwf, nam12, and cmc on the exact movement and evolution of invest 98l. There is an evident split between the systems's surface and mid-level circulations. Most models have the surface circulation moving over the southern fl peninsula where it dissipates in the eastern gulf of mexico. The mid-level circulation will strengthen a bit just east of the fl peninsula, where the majority of the moisture will be concentrated. The ECMWF is much more aggressive in tropical cyclogenesis as it has the surface circulation moving along the eastern side of the fl peninsula. However, any development of this |
system is likely to be far enough north and east from central fl that it poses no threat to us at this time. Monday-Thursday... a diffused and messy mid upper through will move through the southeast tn valley before ejecting out to sea near the mid-atlantic coast. As the atlantic ridge is pushed further east, and a weak ridge builds over the gulf of mexico, winds over the fl peninsula will become west southwesterly for much of next week. This flow regime favors afternoon showers and storms and higher than normal rain chances on the eastern side of the peninsula. Both the GFS and ecmwf show a broad surface low developing in the vicinity of the peninsula by week's end, with the ECMWF showing a more robust system. The main storm threats from afternoon storms continues to be dangerous lightning strikes and locally heavy rainfall leading to minor flooding. Temperatures will be near normal, afternoon highs are forecast in the low 90s, and overnight lows in low to mid 70s. Aviation Thru 24 12z. Sfc winds: thru 23 12z... E NE 3-5kts. Btwn 23 12z-23 15z...

A large area of disturbed weather will move over the nearshore atlantic waters brining scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms this weekend. A few of these storms will be capable of producing wind gusts up to 35 knots. Boating conditions may become hazardous to small crafts operating in the offshore waters starting Saturday evening through Sunday as southeast winds increase to 15 knots and seas increase to 3-4 feet. Monday-Tuesday... Favorable boating conditions resume at the start of the week as the tropical wave pushes away from the area. Southwest to west winds around 5-10 knots, and seas will be around 2-3 feet. The southwest winds will promote the development of offshore moving showers and storms in the afternoon. The main threats with any of these storms will be dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes and perhaps a few wind gusts up to 35 knots.

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. |
