093 FXUS62 KMLB 101752 AFDMLB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL Issued by National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 152 PM EDT Fri May 10 2024 ...New AVIATION... .AVIATION... (18Z TAFs) Issued at 139 PM EDT Fri May 10 2024 Several outflow boundaries were moving through the region with the inital boundary moving off the Treasure Coast producing a brief period of gusty NW winds. The second boundary is moving through the greater Orlando area. Convergence along this second boundary could be enough to produce isolated showers/storms this afternoon and thus have kept mention of vicinity thunder in most terminals through early evening. Cannot rule out an isolated strong or severe storm, and this is supported by the Storm Prediction Center which has highlighted northern portions of the area in a marginal risk. A weak cold front will push through the state overnight with light NW winds and drier conditions in its wake. Could be a period of MVFR Ceilings as the boundary moves through mainly after midnight. VFR conditions are expected on Saturday with only a few high cirrus clouds. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1029 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024 Not much has changed from the previous discussion. An MCS moved south this morning from North Florida which threatened the northern portions of the CWA, but the majority of the convection with near severe winds remained north of the the area and is currently pushing off the east coast of North Florida. While the main threat for severe weather isn`t expected until midday, we are continuing to monitor outflow boundaries within the unstable air mass which could trigger thunderstorm development a tad earlier than expected. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFs) Issued at 1103 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024 Weakening thunderstorm outflow boundary will continue moving southeast into the Greater Orlando area over the next few hours. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible along and ahead of the boundary. Some MVFR Ceilings will persist across this area as well before becoming scattered this afternoon. Will keep vicinity thunder in the MCO terminal through 01z given the lingering boundary, moisture and instability. Can`t rule out a strong or severe storm but not confident enough on timing and exact location of where convection could redevelop this afternoon. Orlando is on the border of the SPC Slight Risk area. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
