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 311 PM EDT Sun Mar 29 2020
DISCUSSION.
. Heat Will Continue Through Tuesday, Followed by a Cold Front .
. Fire Sensitivity Expected to Increase Further on Tuesday as Southwest Winds Increase .
Tonight . Southeast flow around the Atlantic ridge will allow the east coast sea breeze to move inland through late afternoon and meet up with the west coast breeze near I 4 across the interior this evening. The strong mid level ridge aloft is providing subsidence with hardly any cumulus at mid afternoon so may only see some struggling cumulus along any collision this evening. Like this morning there may be some patchy fog and stratus development that would be favored mainly along and west of I-4 late tonight. Lows will drop to 65-70 about 8-10 degrees above normal for late March.
Monday . A weak trough across the northern peninsula Monday morning will dissipate with the surface ridge still in control across central FL. A light and variable wind flow is expected in the morning becoming onshore near the coast by afternoon with the east coast sea breeze which will move steadily inland. After some patchy morning fog/stratus across the interior, expect mostly sunny skies into the afternoon and dry conditions. Highs will reach the mid 80s near the coast to the lower 90s across the interior. Max temps in Sanford and Leesburg have a good chance to be tied or broken on Monday (see climate section below).
Tuesday-Wednesday . Atlantic ridge gradually shift S-SE to offshore SEFL Tuesday ahead of an approaching cold front that reaches the northern CWA a few hours after midnight, and then sweep rapidly southeast through central FL, moving offshore Wednesday morning.
Since the supporting mid level trough stays bodily north of the state (let alone the CWA), local mid level PVA is essentially nil ahead of the impending frontal passage. While there is some modest upper level divergence, and wind fields are decent, frontal convergence is considerably weak. The chance of seeing thunderstorms in the area is so small given the overall paucity of forced ascent, marginal instability, and nocturnal timing. Thus, will continue to keep thunderstorms out of the forecast, but subsequent shifts will re-assess potential.
Rain chances came in a bit lower this afternoon, in the 30-35 percent range across the area for Tuesday night. This follows the all too familiar trend of weakening fronts moving through central FL. A slight chance of showers lingers along the Treasure Coast into Wednesday morning, with clearing conditions by early afternoon.
Near record late March temps continue with upper 80s to low 90s areawide Tuesday in an increasing pre-frontal southwest breeze, and morning lows in the mid/upper 60s, around 70F in some locations. Cooler/drier air takes hold areawide Wednesday into Wednesday night, albeit afternoon highs will still be above normal for all but the northern CWA around 80F north to upper 80s around Lake Okeechobee. Temps cool to the mid/upper 50s inland, low 60s along the coast as post-frontal winds will start to acquire an onshore component.
Thursday-Sunday . (previous discussion) Model guidance indicates short wave ridging slowly rebuilding from the GOMEX toward FL as weak ripples of mid level vorticity ride over the top, and across FL. Increasing mean moisture and warm-frontogenetic type lift should lead to an increasing in clouds and rain chances, with a conservative 20-30 POP introduced at this time for the Friday night to Sunday time frame.
Near-normal max temps on Thursday (upper 70s to low 80s) will rise just slightly above normal (low 80s all but the immediate coast) from Friday onward. Morning lows in the upper 50s inland Thursday night, otherwise low 60s, with low/mid 60s for the coastal counties, and upper 60s along the barrier islands.
AVIATION. Some patchy stratus may develop late tonight mainly west of KMCO- KDAB line. For now, included TEMPO SCT clouds below 010 and some MVFR BR for interior terminals mainly btwn 09z-13z Otherwise. VFR through the period.
MARINE. Tonight . SE flow 10-15 knots this evening will veer to the SW overnight. Dry conditions with seas 2-3 ft.
Monday . A good boating forecast is in offing to start the week. Light offshore flow in Mon morning will become onshore near the coast to 10 knots in the afternoon. Seas will average around 2 ft.
Tuesday-Friday . Favorable boating conditions last through around Tuesday afternoon before turning hazardous Tuesday night behind a cold front. Seas 2-3 feet Tuesday with southwest winds 10-15 knots and up to 20 knots offshore. A surge of west winds 15-20 knots nearshore and 20-25 knots offshore overspread the area behind the cold front. Seas respond by building to 6-7 feet. This strong surge will be short-lived, though north winds 15-20 knots and seas 4-6 feet last through late Wednesday night keeping seas hazardous. By Thursday into Friday, winds veer northeast and decrease to 10-15 knots, however small craft exercise caution with a lingering swell around 5-7 feet.
FIRE WEATHER. Hot and dry conditions continue into Mon, with min RH values falling to the upper 30s to low 40s over much of the interior. Lighter surface and transport winds outside of the east coast sea breeze circulation.
Increasing surface and transport from the southwest Tue ahead of the approaching cold front will exacerbate fire weather sensitivity, as min RH values at or below 45 pct.
CLIMATE. (previous)
Leesburg and Sanford should exceed their record highs for today, as temperatures rise into the low 90s this afternoon. Daytona Beach and Orlando will also be near their record highs for today.

. March 2020 Stats/Rankings .
With well above normal temperatures continuing through the rest of the month, we are on track for the warmest March on record for Daytona Beach, Leesburg, Sanford and Orlando.
It should also be the driest March on record for much of the area. However, isolated to scattered showers are currently forecast ahead of an approaching weak cold front into the evening of the 31st, so any additional rainfall before midnight on Tuesday evening could change these current rankings.
