AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
220 PM EDT TUE MAY 1 2007

...SMOKE TO CONTINUE TO REDUCE VISIBILITY ACROSS SE GEORGIA...
...SOME PROSPECTS FOR RAIN BY THE WEEKEND...

.SHORT TERM...MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE HAS MIGRATED OFF
THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST WITH WEAK RIDGING ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PENINSULA. THIS PATTERN WILL BE INTERRUPTED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOUTHEAST FLOW ALONG
THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTIES BECOMING EAST AND SOUTHWEST
WINDS OVER WESTERN ZONES BECOMING SOUTHERLY. AT THE UPPER
LEVELS...UPPER TROUGH HAS LIFTED WELL NORTH OF THE AREA AND HAS
BEEN REPLACED BY WEAK RIDGING IN RESPONSE TO UPPER LOW OVER THE
PLAINS STATES. WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE SOME CU DEVELOPMENT ACROSS
THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA PORTION PRIMARILY BUT WITH DRY AIR
ENTRAINING...EXPECT THESE TO SCOUR OUT THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.

MAIN ISSUE STILL CONCERNS WILDFIRES OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND
ASSOCIATED SMOKE FROM THESE FIRES. ATKINSON COUNTY PLUME LOOKS THE
MOST IMPRESSIVE ON SATELLITE WITH SOME DENSE SMOKE CONDITIONS NEAR
THE IMMEDIATE FIRE ENVIRONMENT. OUTSIDE OF THE FIRE
ENVIRONMENT...VISIBILITY IS MOSTLY IN THE 2 TO 4 MILES RANGE IN
SUCH PLACES AS DOUGLAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO HANDLE WITH SPS
ISSUANCE. WILL MONITOR TRENDS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS FOR THE
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF A DENSE SMOKE ADVISORY.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM...HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN
THE DOMINANT FEATURE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...BUT WE SHOULD
SEE A GRADUAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE WITH PERSISTENT SOUTHEAST TO
SOUTH FLOW. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE TO OVER AN INCH BY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND NEAR 1.5 IN BY THU AFTERNOON. NAM CONTINUES
TO BE THE MOST AGGRESSIVE IN SHOWING SEABREEZE COLLISION AND
RESULTANT PRECIP ON WED AND THU. WITH LOW PRECIP H2O VALUES ON
WED...WILL KEEP POPS BELOW 20% BUT BY THU WITH ENHANCED LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LOOK WARRANTED. FOR
FRIDAY...SYNOPTIC INFLUENCES INCREASE AS LOW OVER THE PLAINS
STATES WRAPS UP AND MOISTURE IS POOLED ALONG BOUNDARY EXTENDING
THROUGH THE CAROLINAS. THIS WILL ACT TO KEEP MOST PRECIP NORTH OF
THE AREA WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR EXTREME NORTHERN
SECTIONS.

.LONG TERM...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM AS BACKDOOR
FRONT STILL LOOKS POISED TO APPROACH THE REGION LATE ON SATURDAY.
MODELS STILL INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR MUCH NEEDED RAINS BUT LAST
NORTHEAST FLOW EVENT PRODUCED MUCH LESS THAN MODEL PROJECTIONS AND
AM STILL NOT INCLINED TO GO ANY ABOVE 30% AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
MAINLY VFR CONDS EXPECTED ALTHOUGH SOME PATCHY MVFR VSBYS IN
HAZE/FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN THE KGNV VICINITY.

&&

.MARINE...
NO HEADLINES EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY. S/SELY WINDS WITH LOCAL
SEABREEZES DURING THE DAY AND 15 KNOTS NOCTURNAL SURGES AT NIGHT.
BACK DOOR COLD FRONT STILL ON TAP FOR SATURDAY WITH NELY WINDS
INCREASING TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS FOR SUNDAY. RATHER ATYPICAL FOR BACK
DOOR COLD FRONTS TO MAKE IT THIS FAR SOUTH IN MAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DEWPOINTS AND RHS CONTINUE TO CRASH THIS AFTERNOON AS MAX TEMPS
CONTINUE TO SOAR INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S. RED FLAGS SHOULD
NOT HAVE A PROBLEM VERIFYING ACRS NERN FL OR SERN GA. HAVE GONE
AHEAD WITH RED FLAG WARNING FOR NERN FL FOR WED AFTERNOON BUT HAVE
ONLY UPGRADED TO A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR INLD SERN GA DUE TO MIN
RHS AROUND 25%...WILL DEPEND ON MAX TEMP FORECAST BY MID SHIFT.
HAVE GONE AHEAD AND ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THUS AFTERNOON
