AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
230 AM EST FRI MAR 25 2005

.SYNOPSIS...WARM FRONT IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF THE CWA TONIGHT
WHILE A PEEK AT SATELLITE AND RADAR SHOWS SOME INTERESTING
FEATURES. A SHORTWAVE IS RAPIDLY MOVING EWD ALONG THE SUB-TROPICAL
JET THAT STRETCHES ALONG THE GULF COAST AND NORTH FLORIDA. NUMEROUS
TSTMS ARE NOW IN THE NERN GULF. THIS IMPULSE HAS BEGUN TO INTERACT
WITH THE WARM FRONT AND QUITE A BIT OF CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING WITH
A BAND OF SHOWERS MOVING INTO MARION COUNTY. AT THIS HOUR LIGHTNING
REMAINS OVER THE OPEN WATERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...GFS DOES WELL WITH INITIALIZATION OF THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY AND WARM FRONT...AND SHOWS IMPRESSIVE OMEGA FIELD OVER THE
REGION THIS MORNING WITH MOSTLY ELEVATED CONVECTION PRODUCING
INTENSE LIGHTNING...HAIL AND STRONG WINDS. WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL
PUSH TEMPS INTO MID/UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80. MODERATE LLVL JET AND
DEEP LAYER SHEAR COULD PRODUCE A FEW SEVERE TSTMS BY AFTN. LIKELY
POPS EXPECTED FOR SRN TIER TAPERING TO 40% FOR SE GA. TONIGHT WILL
BRING A LULL IN ACTIVITY.

STORMS RETURN ON SATURDAY AND THE CWA IS ONCE AGAIN IN SLIGHT RISK
FOR SEVERE TSTMS. IN A NUTSHELL...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL PUMP GULF
MOISTURE INTO THE WARM FRONT OVER THE REGION CREATING VERY UNSTABLE
AIR MASS. STRONG STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE WARM FRONT AS IT
LIFTS NWD...THEN ON SUNDAY A SQUALL LINE WITH MORE STRONG STORMS
PRECEDING A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

.LONG TERM...THE DEEP SHORTWAVE TROUGH FINALLY EXITS THE EAST COAST
ON MONDAY DRIVING THE COLD FRONT SE OF THE AREA. DRIER AND MORE
SEASONABLE WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...GENERALLY LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. NEXT SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN WINDS EXPECTED MONDAY ONCE THE COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH. NO HEADLINES FOR TODAY.
