AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
130 PM EDT FRI JUL 11 2003

CURRENTLY AND OVERNIGHT...CONVECTION BEGINNING IN SUWANNEE VALLEY...
HIGH PROJECTED CAPE NEAR 4000 J AND A WEAK DRY SLOT INDICATE A
POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE STORMS PARTICULARLY LATE IN
AFTERNOON IN/NEAR THE ATLANTIC COASTAL COUNTIES.   THE MAIN THREATS
FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE HAIL AND DOWNBURST WINDS. OTHERWISE SLOW
MOVING STORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN PRODUCERS WHERE THEY OCCUR.  A WEAK

CIRRUS OUTFLOW CARRIED FROM TROPICAL SYSTEM TO NEAR FL/GA BORDER MAY
CAP TEMPS LOWER THAN FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON AND HOLD THEM WARMER
OVERNIGHT. NOCTURNAL SURGE TONIGHT WILL COME UP TO SCEC FOR MARINE
ZONES.

SHORT TERM...GENERALLY INCREASING POPS DUE TO GENERALLY WEAK
SOUTHERLY FLOW AND WEAKENING UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WEEKEND.  A WEAK
UPPER JET OVER SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES MAY ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL TOMORROW.   WEEKEND WILL SEE MORE NOCTURNAL STORMS AND
PRECIP THAN NORMAL IN ADDITION TO ENHANCED DAYTIME POPS.

EXTENDED...AGAIN LOOKING FOR WETTER PERIOD AS THE OVERALL SITUATION
ENHANCES LL TROUGHING AND WEAKENING UPPER RIDGE.  NOT BUYING INTO
THE TROPICAL WAVE LATE IN PERIOD YET...BUT DO GO FOR INCREASED
DIURNAL ACTIVITY AND WINDS INCREASING TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
