997 FXUS62 KMLB 260535 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 135 AM EDT Sun May 26 2024 ...New AVIATION... .AVIATION... (06Z TAFs) Issued at 133 AM EDT Sun May 26 2024 Lower coverage of SHRA forecast on Sunday, with confidence in any impacts too low to include VCSH at any of the TAF sites. Light offshore winds in the morning will veer E/SE into the afternoon at around 8-12kts as the sea breeze develops and pushes inland. The sea breeze collision is expected to occur near MCO in the late afternoon/early evening, preventing the east coast sea breeze from reaching LEE. Winds then become light and generally westerly overnight. && .UPDATE... Issued at 820 PM EDT Sat May 25 2024 Scattered storms will gradually decrease in coverage and intensity with loss of daytime heating. However, Martin and St Lucie counties have not been worked over yet so residual instability and numerous boundaries lurking there should promote scattered showers and storms thru 10-11 pm. Otherwise, a quiet overnight is forecast. && .MARINE... Issued at 252 PM EDT Sat May 25 2024 Rest of Today-Sunday...Favorable winds and seas today, but isolated to scattered lightning storms are expected to push offshore late this afternoon and evening, working eastward across the waters through the early overnight. Some of these storms could become strong, capable of gusty winds over 35 kts and locally higher seas. Generally favorable boating conditions Sunday, with just a few showers and storms possible across the Treasure Coast waters. The ridge axis of weak, broad high pressure will remain south of the local Atlantic waters, producing light SW-WSW in the overnight and morning, becoming calm and variable at times, that back to SE-ESE at 10-15 kts in the afternoon after the sea breeze develops. Seas 1-3 ft. Monday-Wednesday Modified Previous Discussion)...Generally favorable boating conditions will continue into the middle of next week. West-southwest winds will become south-southeast each afternoon as the east coast sea breeze develops, with wind speeds 5 to 10 knots increasing to 10 to 15 knots each afternoon through the period. Seas are forecast to remain between 1 to 3 feet. Monday, drier air present across the Florida peninsula will continue to limit rain and storm chances, with any development that does occur likely remaining south of the Cape. Rain chances increase again on Tuesday and Wednesday across the local Atlantic waters as a weak front stalls across or just north of the waters, with showers and storms that develop across the Florida peninsula moving offshore into the late afternoon and early evening hours. Activity will diminish into the overnight hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
