AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
212 PM EST FRI JAN 5 2007
.SHORT TERM...SHARP SHORTWAVE TROUGH LOCATED ALONG THE CENTRAL
GULF COAST AND GRADUALLY PULLING NORTHEAST AND WEAKENING.
ASSOCIATED SQUALL LINE IS MOVING RAPIDLY INTO THE FLORIDA BIG
BEND. SQUALL LINE WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD THROUGH THE
EVENING...REACHING A PRETTY JUICY BOUNDARY LAYER OVER THE SUWANNEE
VALLEY BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WIND SHEAR WILL ALSO BE SUFFICIENT
WITH THIS LINE TO GENERATE SEVERE STORMS. MAIN CONCERN IS STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LINE ITSELF...HOWEVER THERE ARE
SOME PRETTY GOOD LAPSE RATES ABOVE 700MB WHICH MAY YIELD SOME
LARGE HAIL. ALSO...WILL NEED TO MONITOR ROTATING CELLS MOVING
INLAND OFF APALACHEE BAY. LOW LEVELS ARE MORE UNSTABLE THAN OTHER
RECENT EVENTS SO STORMS MOVING IN OFF THE GULF MAY HOLD THEIR
STRUCTURE FOR A WHILE.
LINE OF STORMS TO MOVE INTO SOUTHERN PORTION OF CWA BY MORNING AND
LIKELY BE WEAKENING AS DYNAMICS LIFT WELL TO THE NORTHEAST. UPPER
RIDGE WILL HOLD IN PRETTY STRONG AND KEEP THE COLD FRONT FROM
MAKING SIGNIFICANT SOUTHWARD PROGRESS. IN FACT...BOUNDARY LIKELY
TO LIFT BACK NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND AS A WARM FRONT KEEP SOME
SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY OVER THE FLORIDA ZONES.
.LONG TERM...NEXT FRONT TO SWEEP THROUGH AREA EARLY MONDAY WITH
COOLER AIR MASS MOVING IN FOR NEXT WEEK. AIR MASS IS OF PACIFIC
ORIGIN SO SIGNIFICANT COLD WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED. SFC HIGH TO
BUILD NORTH OF THE AREA BY LATE IN THE WEEK WITH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND SOME COASTAL SHOWERS RETURNING.
&&
.AVIATION...VFR CONDS DOMINATE AT THIS TIME WITH BRIEF IFR CIGS
AT SSI. SLY WINDS AROUND 12G20KT NOTED AT AREA OBS. EXPECT
DETERIORATING AVIATION CONDS AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH
THE AREA WITH IFR GENERALLY EXPECTED IN SHOWERS AND STORMS AROUND
THE 21Z-06Z TIME FRAME. LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW REMAINS OUT OF THE SW
TONIGHT ENSURING A MOIST PROFILE AND A THREAT OF FOG/LOW CIGS AGAIN
WITH LIFR/IFR POSSIBLE INTO EARLY MORNING HOURS.
&&
.MARINE...GRADUALLY INCREASING SFC WINDS NOTED AT BUOYS WITH SEAS
ABOUT 5-6 FT OFFSHORE. USED A BLEND OF GFS/NAMWRF. SEEING ALREADY
GUSTY WINDS OVER 20 KT AT 41012 WILL HOIST SCA FOR OFFSHORE WATERS
FOR TONIGHT. HIGH PRES BUILDS IN BRIEFLY ON SAT WEAKEN PRES
GRADIENT. ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES SUN-SUN NIGHT WITH SCA CONDS
POSSIBLE AGAIN PRE AND POST-FRONTAL.
