357 FXUS62 KMLB 021419 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 1019 AM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 1006 AM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024 High pressure settles in over the western Atlantic today, with onshore flow aiding a few showers moving onshore along the Treasure Coast this morning. Winds will be lighter today than yesterday, but the sea breeze is still forecast to lead to breezy conditions this afternoon, especially along the coast, with wind gusts of 20-25mph. Westerly flow aloft will advect in some higher moisture into the mid and upper levels, allowing for isolated to scattered PoPs today. The highest chances (40-50%) will be south of Orlando, especially over the interior. To the north, PoPs 20-30%, with the Volusia County coast likely to remain the driest. CAMs continue to suggest development well past sunset, with activity moving offshore from the Treasure and southern Brevard coasts overnight tonight. Thus, have maintained PoPs around 40-50% for this area past sunset. Main threats with any storms will be gusty winds and lightning strikes. A warming trend will begin today, with high temperatures creeping up a few degrees from Saturday. Forecast highs are in the mid to upper 80s along the coast and upper 80s to lower 90s inland. && .AVIATION...
