Thanks. :)



Do you work at Melbourne NWS?

I went to FL Tech and studied meteorology for a semester. I love it but was afraid of not finding employment after graduating. I remember we took a "field trip" to the Melbourne NWS. Was a fun day!

He sure does. And we appreciate his insights. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and answering our questions Tony:)

Boy it looks like waterlogged Brevard county is about to get hammered with extremely heavy rain and probably some good winds as well.

Looks like it's trying to wrap around on radar... Satellite VIS still looks like a mess though.

Winds are still picking up here in Melbourne.

From the impact weather blog from NWS Melbourne

Posted at 5:47 PM

Very strong winds Volusia to Indian River coast
Radar continues to show a large area of winds from 40 to 45 mph with gusts to 58 mph or higher approaching the coast from around Ponce Inlet to Sebastian Inlet. Strong winds will extend down the coast to Vero Beach and Fort Pierce and north of Ponce Inlet to Daytona Beach. The strongest winds and gusts will be felt right at the coast...barrier islands...the Mosquito and Indian River Lagoons in Coastal Volusia and Brevard counties and reach the mainland east of U.S. the same two counties. A large area of moderate rain with gusts to around 30 mph was moving across Coastal Volusia and Brevard counties spreading west of Interstate 95 and into Inland Volusa and eastern portions of Seminole...Orange and Osceola counties.

For AJC, as I mentioned earlier it is calm in Port Saint Lucie now, not that far south of the circulation. The air is very still. Why would that be?

There is little to no wind south and southwest of the low center because there's really no pressure gradient to speak of. Remember the structure of this system - there's a second low off the SW Florida coast and a trough running NE from that to the low near you. So as far as the wind and squalls, the shows pretty much over for you guys and points south.

For the record...I'd guesstimate better than a 95% chance that this will get BT'd as an STS. Very little doubt in my mind, even though it wasn't carried operationally as such (for the reasons I mentioned earlier).
