985 FXUS62 KMLB 210220 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 1020 PM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 .UPDATE... Issued at 1020 PM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 Noticeably less coverage of showers and storms today due to drier air. Low level moisture is sufficient to produce isolated showers over the Atlantic waters. NE flow will push these showers SW and onshore portions of the Space and Treasure coasts. Most areas will remain dry but brief downpours and occasional lightning strikes will be possible along the coast so have extended the small PoP through the overnight. No significant change to min temps in the low to mid 70s, possibly holding in the upper 70s along the immediate Volusia and Brevard coasts due to persistent onshore (NE) flow. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFs) Issued at 755 PM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 Mainly VFR conditions are forecast through the TAF period. Will maintain VCSH at coastal terminals MLB-SUA overnight for Atlc showers pushing onshore which may produce brief MVFR conds. VCSH will continue along the coastal terminals through Sat morning transitioning to the interior in the afternoon. Added VCSH for MCO/SFB aft 18Z. Light winds tonight will increase from the NE 10-15 knots with gusts near 20 knots. && .MARINE... Issued at 345 PM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 Current-Tuesday...(Modified Previous Discussion) Boating conditions slowly become poorer over the next few days as onshore winds increase. As high pressure settles into the Appalachians, northeast winds freshen to 8-13 KT this afternoon and will persist through the weekend. Isolated to scattered showers and a few storms possible each day, especially from Cape Canaveral southward. By early next week, winds turn more easterly at 10-15 KT. Seas 2-4 FT through Saturday before building to 3-5 FT Sunday-Monday, and up to 6 feet in the offshore waters on Tuesday, largely driven by a northeast swell at 9-11 sec. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
