AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
208 PM EDT SUN MAY 20 2007

.SHORT TERM...AWAY FROM THE SMOKE PLUMES...CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S WITH DEWPOINT VALUES
PLUMMETING INTO THE 30S AND 40S. WEAK STEERING FLOW CURRENTLY
EXISTS...WITH SMOKE PLUMES CURRENTLY CONFINED TO ONGOING FIRES.
EASTERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY THE REMAINDER OF
TODAY...FOCUSING SMOKE PLUMES JUST TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST OF
FIRES.

MAIN QUESTION THROUGH THE SHORT-TERM WILL BE SMOKE COVERAGE. LOW-
LEVEL WINDS WILL YET AGAIN WEAKEN OVERNIGHT...TRAPPING THE SMOKE
TO NEAR THE SURFACE. SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES OF LESS
THAN A MILE ARE POSSIBLE. THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH SOUTHERLY FLOW
OVERNIGHT TO FOCUS SMOKE PLUMES TO THE NORTH (AS WAS REALIZED LAST
NIGHT AND THIS MORNING)...AND WILL REFLECT THIS IN THE ZONES. A DRY
FLOW REGIME WILL CONTINUE EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH AN ESTABLISHING
EASTERLY FLOW EACH AFTERNOON FOCUSING THE SMOKE PLUMES TOWARDS THE
WEST AND SOUTHWEST.

WILL CONTINUE DRY FORECAST THROUGH TUESDAY WITH MEAN LAYER RIDGE
SLOWLY DEPARTING NORTH. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL LIKELY RETURN TO THE
COASTAL WATERS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS POSITION OF HIGH TO THE NORTH
AND LOWER PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH INCREASES EASTERLY GRADIENT...AND
THESE SHOWERS MAY COME ASHORE BY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON/TUESDAY
EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING.

A MODERATE EASTERLY FLOW ON WEDNESDAY WILL INCREASE MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA...AND ANTICIPATE ISOLATED SHOWERS MOST
LOCATIONS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE I-74 CORRIDOR OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON WHERE FORECAST HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S WILL INTERACT
WITH SEA-BREEZE COLLISION.

.LONG TERM (THU THRU SUN)...WELL...PROSPECTS FOR PROLONGED AND
BENEFICIAL RAINS APPEAR TO BE DWINDLING WITH EACH MODEL RUN. APPEARS
POSITION OF MEAN LAYER RIDGE WILL YET AGAIN NUDGE CLOSER TO THE
LOCAL REGION... RESULTING IN WEAKER DYNAMICS AND TEPID MOISTURE.
HAVE GENERALLY LIMITED POPS TO ISOLATED CATEGORY...WITH A SMATTERING
OF SCATTERED POPS ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR WHERE WARMEST TEMPS
WILL INTERACT WITH SEA-BREEZE COLLISIONS. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ON
THURSDAY WILL RANGE FROM UPPER 70S COASTAL AREAS TO MID 80S
INTERIOR. FORECAST HIGHS FOR NEXT WEEKEND RANGE FROM AROUND 80
COASTAL AREAS TO UPPER 80S INTERIOR (WITH ISOLATED POCKETS OF
90S).

&&

.AVIATION...CU FIELD CURRENTLY SOUTH OF GNV MOVING STEADILY
NORTHWARD. EXPECT CONDITIONS AT THE TAF SITE TO REMAIN SCT AT WORST
AND VFR. CONTINUED EASTERLY FLOW LOOKS TO KEEP FU WEST OF THE TAF
SITES FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND WILL JUST BE DEALING WITH VFR
CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...SWELLS CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE ACCORDING TO AREA
OBSERVATIONS AND ANTICIPATE THE SCEC BEING DROPPED WITH THIS
PACKAGE. NO HEADLINES EXPECTED UNTIL TUESDAY AND THEN PROBABLE SCA
CONDITIONS INTO WED AND THU AS HIGH BRIDGES DOWN THE ATLANTIC
SEABOARD AND POSSIBLE LOW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS OVER THE FLORIDA
STRAITS. DEPENDING ON THE PLACEMENT AND STRENGTH OF THIS
LOW...WINDS LOOK TO BE ANYWHERE FROM 15 KNOTS TO CLOSE TO 25 KNOTS
DURING THE PERIOD. REGARDLESS...INCREASING SWELL ACTION WILL PUSH
SEAS WELL INTO SCA RANGE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...JUST A PERSISTENT DRY PATTERN THAT LOOKS LIKE IT
IS GOING TO LAST FOR A WHILE LONGER. GFSENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOW MEAN
LAYER HUMIDITY AT 700 MB REMAINING BELOW 20% FOR THE NEXT SEVEN
DAYS. WE DO SEE SOME RELIEF FROM THE LOW LEVEL EASTERLIES
BEGINNING TUE AND ESPECIALLY INTO WED AND THU...BUT EVEN THEN RH
VALUES WILL BE IN THE 30S FOR WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA. FOR THE SHORT TERM...RED FLAG VERIFYING NICELY TODAY WITH
SOME SITES SUCH AS JAX INTERNATIONAL SUBSTANTIAL MIXING WITH 34
DEGREE DEWPOINTS BETWEEN OBSERVATIONS. DOUBT IT WAS THAT LOW...BUT
STILL RHS IN THE LOW TO MID 20S ARE COMMON FOR INLAND LOCATIONS
TODAY. FOR MONDAY...SLIGHTLY MORE MOIST FOR THE COASTAL COUNTIES
AND SE GEORGIA BUT STILL DRY ENOUGH INLAND TO CONVERT FLORIDA WATCH
TO A WARNING FOR MOST AREAS AND KEEP THE WATCH IN GEORGIA.
