| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 415am EDT Sat April 20 2024 Marine Issued at 415am EDT Sat April 20 2024 Today - Tonight Ridge axis of high pressure over the west Atlantic will remain just south of the waters today, with a second area of weak high pressure over the eastern Gulf. W/SW winds 5-10 knots this morning, will become E/SE this afternoon as east coast sea breeze forms and moves inland. Brief period of poor boating conditions will then be possible, mainly offshore of Brevard County and the Treasure Coast this evening, as winds veer to the south and increase to around 15 knots over this portion of the coastal waters. Otherwise, winds continue to veer to the W/SW overnight and decrease further overnight. Seas will range from 2-4 feet. Sunday-Wednesday...High pressure located across the western Atlantic will keep conditions dry on Sunday, with winds remaining around 10 knots and seas generally 2 to 4 feet. However, the high will get pushed eastward as an approaching weak cold front moves across the local waters on Monday, bringing increasing rain and storm chances. Offshore winds on Sunday will veer to out of the north on Monday behind the front, increasing to 10 to 20 knots Monday night into early Tuesday. As a result, boating conditions are forecast to deteriorate, with seas increasing to 4 to 8 feet Monday night into Tuesday. Drier air will filter in from the north across the local waters Tuesday, with dry conditions forecast to persist through Wednesday. Winds will gradually veer from the north to out of the east-northeast Tuesday and Wednesday, with wind speeds remaining between 10 to 15 knots. Seas will subside Tuesday night into Wednesday, generally falling between 3 to 5 feet. Fire Weather Issued at 415am EDT Sat April 20 2024 Today...Dry airmass and warmer than normal temperatures today will lead to critically low RH values as low as the low to mid 30s over the interior, west of I-95 this afternoon. However, winds will be relatively light around 5 to 10 mph across inland areas. Winds may become breezy along the coast to around 15 mph, as they pick up out of the E/SE behind the inland moving east coast sea breeze, but this onshore flow will also keep min RH values in the 40s to low 50s along coastal areas. Sunday...Warm and dry conditions will persist across east central Florida through the remainder of the weekend as an area of high pressure remains in place across the peninsula. Minimum RH values will remain in the 30 to 45 percent range across a majority of east central Florida, with areas along the coast remaining in the 45 to 55 percent range. West-southwest winds will dominate through the day, increasing to 10 to 15 mph across the area out ahead of an approaching frontal boundary. Next Week...By Monday, rain and storm chances will increase as the aforementioned weak cold front moves southward across the area. Any storms that develop may be capable of producing lightning strikes, gusty winds, and brief downpours. The increased moisture across the area will cause minimum RH values to recover into the 45 to 65 percent range. Winds will veer to out of the north on Monday at 10 to 15 mph behind the front. A dry airmass is forecast to settle across east central Florida through the remainder of next week behind the weak front, with minimum RH values remaining in the 30 to 45 percent range across the interior west of I-95. Winds will also become onshore after Tuesday, increasing to 10 to 15 mph each afternoon. Climate Issued at 415am EDT Sat April 20 2024 Highs will be above to well above normal this weekend, reaching the upper 80s to low 90s over much of the area. These values will be near daily record highs over the next couple days.
