NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
750 PM EST THU DEC 10 2009

.DISCUSSION...POST FRONTAL SHOWER BAND CONTINUES TO DRIFT ACROSS
CENTRAL FLORIDA OVER OSCEOLA AND SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTIES AND
SHOULD MOVE INTO INDIAN RIVER AND OKEECHOBEE COUNTIES THROUGH THE
EVENING TONIGHT. DID AN EARLY UPDATE TO THE ZONES TO REFRESH THE
POPS DUE TO THIS SHOWER BAND AND TO REMOVE RAIN CHANCES OVER LAKE
AND VOLUSIA WHERE DRIER AIR RESIDES. COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS NOW
CLEARED THE CWA AND CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO FAR SOUTHERN FLORIDA.
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT COLDER AIR INTO THE
REGION BEHIND THE FRONT. LOWS TONIGHT WILL HAVE A LARGE RANGE OVER
EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA WITH MIN TEMPS AS LOW AS THE LOW- MID 40S
NORTH AND WEST OF I-4 TO LOW-MID 60S ALONG THE TREASURE COAST.

LIFTS BACK NORTH WITH RAIN CHANCES RETURNING TO THE FORECAST.
