AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
1007 AM EDT WED JUN 13 2007

...SLIGHT RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...

.PUBLIC UPDATE...ANOTHER POTENTIALLY ACTIVE WEATHER DAY WITH UPPER
LOW JUST TO THE NORTH. THIS FEATURE...COUPLED WITH ATTENDANT VORT
LOBES...DIURNAL HEATING...SEA BREEZE EFFECTS AND OLD OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES WILL YET AGAIN BRING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS JAX CWA. AFTER
MODIFYING 12Z KJAX SOUNDING USING AMBIENT TEMP OF 83 DEGREES AND
DEWPOINT VALUE OF 65 DEGREES...A CAPE VALUE AROUND 2200 J/KG WAS
REALIZED. THUS...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE WITH THE MAIN CONCERNS OF HAIL (DUE TO COLD POOL ALOFT AND
SUFFICIENT MID-LEVEL SHEAR) AND FUNNEL CLOUDS/WATERSPOUTS DUE TO
HIGH CAPE AND LOW SHEAR IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
NO UPDATES PLANNED.

&&

.AVIATION...AS ADVERTISED BY MIDNIGHT SHIFT...COLD POOL INDUCED
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL PUSH THROUGH THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA WITH GENERALLY MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. REMAINDER OF
THE ACTIVITY SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND AFFECT
PRIMARILY THE FLORIDA SITES. WILL INDICATE A TEMPO AFTERNOON GROUP
FOR GNV AND KEEP COASTAL SITES AT VCTS FOR NOW DUE TO DEVELOPING
NORTHEAST FLOW.

&&

.MARINE...BUOYS ARE CURRENTLY SHOWING NORTHEAST WINDS 10 TO 15
KNOTS WITH SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. NO HEADLINES TODAY WITH NORTHEAST TO
EAST WINDS...WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN THE WIND SPEED AND THE SEAS.

&&

.JAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FL...NONE.
GA...NONE.
AM...NONE.

&&

.PREVIOUS PUBLIC...
SHORT TERM...SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE FCST TO CONTINUE SHIFTING S-SE
THRU THE MORNING HOURS. OUTFLOWS FROM EARLY CONVECTION WILL
INTERACT WITH E-NE LOW-LEVEL FLOW TO SHIFT PRECIP FOCUS FARTHER
INLAND LATER IN THE DAY. IN ADDITION...LAYER MOISTURE WILL BE ON
THE DECLINE AS SFC LOW DEVELOPS N OF THE BAHAMAS AND THE UPPER
TROF SHIFTS SLOWLY SE. AS A RESULT...WILL KEEP POPS IN THE CHANCE
CATEGORY WHICH LEANS TOWARD THE WETTER MAV MOS GUIDANCE. SEVERE
STORMS CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE TODAY...MAINLY DUE TO THE COLD
TEMPS ALOFT. MAIN THREAT WILL BE HAIL...BUT GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO
PROBABLE.

LAYER MOISTURE WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE ON THU BUT LESS
IN THE WAY OF DYNAMICS AND COOLER LOW-LEVEL TEMPS WILL KEEP POPS
IN THE LOW CHANCE RANGE. MORE COOL TEMPS ALOFT AND VORTICITY IS
PROGGED FOR FRI. DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES WITH TIMING...WILL KEEP POPS
IN THE LOW TO MID CHANCE RANGE.

TEMPS WILL BE ROUGHLY 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL THRU THU...WITH
READINGS RETURNING TO NEAR NORMAL THEREAFTER. A GENERAL MOS TEMP
BLEND WAS USED...LEANING TOWARD THE WARMER MAV FOR THU THRU FRI.

LONG TERM...HAVE MADE FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED PACKAGE. TEMPS
REMAIN NEAR NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD. LOWER POPS ARE PROGGED FOR SAT
THRU MON BEFORE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA AND BRINGS AND
INCREASED CHANCE OF PRECIP BY TUE.
