FXUS62 KMLB 280207 AFDMLB AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 907 PM EST THU DEC 27 2012 .DISCUSSION... ...COLDER TEMPERATURES AGAIN OVERNIGHT WITH PATCHY FROST POTENTIAL INLAND... TONIGHT...AS EXPECTED...THE LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES LED TO A NOTABLE TEMPERATURE DROP WITH SUNSET THIS EVENING WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S THIS AFTERNOON NOW DOWN INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOW 50S. MAIN CONCERN TONIGHT REMAIN THE LOW TEMPERATURES/FROST POTENTIAL ACROSS THE REGION. TWO FACTORS ARE NOW WORKING AGAINST LOWER TEMPERATURES (AND THEREFORE HIGH FROST COVERAGE): THE LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW THAT DEVELOPED ALONG THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON RAISING DEWPOINTS AND THE UPPER LEVEL CIRRUS THAT HAS STARTED MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A POOL OF UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE GOMEX THAT WILL STREAM ACROSS THE PENINSULA OVERNIGHT...PROVIDING JUST ENOUGH CLOUD COVER TO PREVENT IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING. WITH DEWPOINTS NOW CREEPING INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOW 40S (AND EVEN A FEW MID 40S ACROSS THE TREASURE COAST) IT APPEARS THAT OVERNIGHT LOWS IN MOST LOCATIONS WILL BE IN THE LOW 40S AS WELL...WITH A FEW UPPER 30S ACROSS LAKE AND NORTHERN VOLUSIA AS WELL AS OTHER NORMALLY COLDER LOCATIONS ACROSS THE INTERIOR. WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION OF PATCHY FROST OVER PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR...BUT CUT BACK ON THE COVERAGE ACROSS THE REGION. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... FRI...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL SHIFT EASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WITH THE APPROACH OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER EAST TEXAS AND LOUISIANA. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT UNDER 10 MPH AND WILL VEER TO EAST OR EAST-SOUTHEAST. AFTER ANOTHER CHILLY START TO THE DAY MAX TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RECOVER INTO THE UPPER 60S ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-4 CORRIDOR AND NEAR 70 DEGREES TO LOWER 70S FURTHER SOUTHWARD...EXCEPT FOR A FEW MIDDLE 70S POSSIBLE IN SOUTHERN OKEECHOBEE COUNTY AND MARTIN COUNTY. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY...THOUGH THE AIRMASS WILL BEGIN TO MODERATE. FRI NIGHT-SAT...MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES IN FRIDAY NIGHT. FORCING LOOKS GOOD FOR SHOWERS WITH MAYBE A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS STARTING LATE FRIDAY NIGHT NORTH AND SPREADING SOUTH THROUGH SATURDAY. WITH THE LOW PRESSURE MOVING FARTHER NORTH AND EAST ON SATURDAY LOCAL WINDS WILL SHIFT TO OUR OF THE SOUTHWEST BRINGING IN WARM MOIST FLOW. DUE TO THE WARM AIR ADVECTION HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL SURGE WELL INTO THE 70S WITH EVEN A FEW 80S AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH LATER IN THE DAY. DESPITE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...TEMPERATURES SATURDAY NIGHT WILL ONLY DROP TO AROUND CLIMO...MOSTLY UPPER 40S WITH SOME 50S SOUTH AND PARTICULARLY ALONG THE COAST. SUN-WED (MODIFIED PREVIOUS DISCUSSION)...COOLER AND DRIER BEHIND THE FRONT SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEFORE GRADUALLY SLIDING EAST AND OFFSHORE THE CAROLINA COAST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL BRING SLOWLY MODERATING TEMPERATURES AND KEEP RAIN CHANCES BELOW MENTIONABLE VALUES. HIGHS SLOWLY RISING FROM THE 60S SUNDAY TO THE LOW/MID 70S NORTH AND MID/UPPER 70S SOUTH ON NEW YEARS DAY (TUE). LOW TEMPS RANGING FROM UPPER 40S NW TO UPPER 50S SOUTHEAST SUN MODERATING TO THE LOW 50S NW TO LOW 60S SE BY TUE...JUST A BIT WARMER BY WED WITH FLOW VEERING SWLY AHEAD OF NEXT FRONTAL SYS. &&

Public Forecast (Prototype)
I have worked on the Google Docs forecast I mentioned in my last post. I believe I have a working solution. It works on Blogs and on Google+, and I believe I could easily get it to work in Florida Online. What follows is what the post would look like (I might start to write my own summarized discussion):
