AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
900 PM EST SAT MAR 26 2005

EVENING UPDATE...WORKING SVR WEATHER SO THIS WILL BE SHORT. TORNADO
WATCH FOR WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA THROUGH 10 PM AND EXPECT SOME
TYPE OF WATCH TO CONTINUE FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA.

SANDRIK
---------------------------------------------
SYNOPSIS...FOG WAS SLOW TO BURN OFF THIS MORNING UNDER INCREASING
DEBRIS FROM GOMEX TSTMS. STILL SOME LIGHT FOG OR HAZE AROUND PORTIONS
OF THE AREA EVEN AT 2 PM. QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS N FL
INTERACTING WITH SERIES OF SHORTWAVES...AGAIN PRODUCING STRONG TO SVR
TSTMS. SO FAR...THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CONFINED TO N FL AND EXTREME
SE GA. HOWEVER...MORE ACTIVITY IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP IN
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER COASTAL SE GA.

.SHORT TERM...1ST ROUND OF CONVECTION HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA...
WITH MORE CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS N CENTRAL FL. APPEARS TO BE A
FEW MORE SUPERCELLS UPSTREAM OVER THE EXTREME N GOMEX AND OVER SE
AL. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS IT MOVES E. ALL-IN-
ALL...EXPECT ACTIVE WX TO CONTINUE THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN
AND INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS...AND SPC HAS SVR TSTM WATCH NUMBER 86
IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM. PRECIP SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY WIDESPREAD NEAR AND
N OF THE WARM FRONT AS IT LIFTS N...WITH MORE SCATTERED ACTIVITY S OF
THE FRONT. THUS...HIGHEST POPS TONIGHT WILL SHIFT TO GA ZONES.

STILL EXPECTING ANOTHER BOUT OF SVR WX SUN...MAINLY DURING THE AFTN
HOURS...AS SQUALL LINE DEVELOPS AND PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA. LOOKS
LIKE THIS SQUALL LINE WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY ENERGY HELICITY
INDICES (EHI) OF OVER 2...INCREASING UPPER JET DYNAMICS...AND AN
INCREASING LOW-LEVEL JET AS WELL. LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BIT OF DRY AIR
AT 500 MB LATE IN THE DAY AS WELL. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION WIND...
HAIL...AND TORNADOES IN HWO FOR SUN. SPC HAS NW 2/3 OF THE AREA
UNDER A MODERATE RISK OF SVR WX...WITH A SLIGHT RISK OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA. GFS HAS SLOWED PROGRESSION OF SQUALL LINE
AND FRONT A BIT...BUT SQUALL LINES TYPICALLY MOVE FASTER THAN PROGGED
ACROSS OUR AREA. UNFORTUNATELY...THIS WILL COINCIDE WITH MAX AFTN
HEATING AS WELL.

.LONG TERM...HAVE MADE FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED PACKAGE. STILL
LOOKS LIKE GOOD WX FOR AT LEAST A FEW DAYS AROUND MID-WEEK. ANOTHER
FRONT EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA BY SAT.

&&

.MARINE...WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE WATERS TONIGHT. COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH MONDAY AM. WINDS VEERING TO SW OUT AHEAD OF APPROACHING
COLD FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT. SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE OFFSHORE
