528 FXUS62 KMLB 210535 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 135 AM EDT Sat Sep 21 2024 ...New AVIATION... .AVIATION... (06Z TAFs) Issued at 131 AM EDT Sat Sep 21 2024 MVFR conditions occurring at LEE due to BR will likely continue through the overnight hours. Otherwise, VFR conditions prevailing. Showers will continue to occasionally stream onshore into coastal areas, at times approaching coastal terminals. VCSH has been included into the early afternoon (18Z) in these locations. Isolated to widely scattered showers will then progress inland along onshore flow, diminishing by around 0Z. Showers will then be possible once again overnight along the coast. Breezy onshore winds today will increase to around 12kts, with gusts around 20kts this afternoon, especially for coastal terminals. Winds will diminish this evening. && .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. && .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...
