AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
1040 PM EDT TUE OCT 16 2018
DISCUSSION
THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT WAS TO ADD A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS OVER MARTIN COUNTY AND SLIGHT CHANCE FOR OKEECHOBEE AND ST
LUCIE AS YET ANOTHER CONVERGENT BAND HAS SET UP. IT APPEARS TO BE
ANCHORED AT THE WEST END OF GRAND BAHAMA OR POSSIBLY NORTHERN GREAT
ABACO. THINK THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WOULD BE MARTIN COUNTY
WITH NOT AS MUCH INLAND PENETRATION AS WE SAW THIS EVENING.
TEMPERATURES REMAINING VERY MILD, HOLDING IN THE LOW TO MID 70S
MOST AREAS WITH UPPER 70S/NEAR 80 ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
WEDNESDAY...SAME STORY, DIFFERENT DAY. NO CHANGE IN THE PATTERN
WITH MID AND UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING OVERHEAD RESULTING IN ANOTHER DAY
OF DRY CONDITIONS AND WELL ABOVE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES. LOW-
LEVEL RIDGE AXIS REMAINING JUST NORTH OF THE AREA WILL PROMOTE A
SE/ESE WIND AROUND 5-10 MPH IN THE MORNING. WINDS WILL BACK TO A
MORE ESE/E DIRECTION WITH SPEEDS AROUND 10 MPH AS THE EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE DEVELOPS AND MOVES INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON.
A FEW LOCATIONS WILL APPROACH RECORD HIGH TERRITORY AGAIN,
ESPECIALLY MELBOURNE, DAYTONA, SANFORD, AND VERO BEACH WHERE RECORDS
ARE A BIT LOWER (PLEASE REFER TO CLIMATE SECTION BELOW). HIGHS WILL
BE UPPER 80S/NEAR 90 ALONG THE COAST AND LOW 90S INLAND.
AVIATION
VFR. ISOLD SHRA PUSHING ONSHORE MAY AFFECT SUA OVERNIGHT WITH BRIEF
MVFR CONDS. PATCHY GROUND FOG IS POSSIBLE OVER NORTH/INTERIOR
TERMINALS (LEE/DAB/SFB/MCO) AROUND SUNRISE BUT WILL NOT MENTION IN
TAFS. ON WED, E-SE WINDS 5-10 KNOTS BUT SUBSIDENT AIRMASS WILL
PRODUCE VERY LIMITED (IF ANY) SHOWER ACTIVITY.
MARINE
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO CURRENT COASTAL WATERS FORECAST.
TONIGHT...SSE-SE WINDS WILL BE AROUND 10 KT AND APPROACHING 15 KT
SOUTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET WITH SEAS REMAINING IN THE 2-3 FT RANGE.
WEDNESDAY...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS DROPPING A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH
WILL RESULT IN A MORE SOUTHERLY WIND DIRECTION ACROSS THE FAR
NORTHERN WATERS IN THE MORNING BUT OTHERWISE DIRECTIONS WILL BE
SE/ESE. AS THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION DEVELOPS WINDS WILL BACK TO
A MORE ESE/E DIRECTION IN THE AFTERNOON. SPEEDS ARE FORECAST TO BE
10 KT OR LESS NORTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET AND 10-15 KT TO THE SOUTH.
SEAS OF 2-3 FT CAN BE EXPECTED.
