Re: Watching an Area moving out from the Southeast into the Gulf this Week

I don't think the sea surface graphic is accurate, at least not for for the east coast for central FL. Ocean temps from April to now have consistently been 5 degrees below normal. Right now it's at 78.6 F at buoy 41113 and buoy 41009 is at 81.1F and the graphic above seems to show more like 86 which doesn't quite match. Buoy 41047 is at 84.2 F which is close to what is shown but that one is far off shore and further South than the others mentioned.

I think the Melbourne radar was likely knocked out by the thunderstorm that hit around 3-4PM EST yesterday. Gusts looked like they were hitting 50-60 mph in 2 separate bursts.
