AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
550 PM EDT SAT JUL 14 2007

...RAINY PERIOD ON TAP THROUGH REST OF WEEKEND...

.SYNOPSIS...
THE COMBO OF UPPER TROUGH AND APPROACHING H5 SHORT WAVE GENERATING
HIGH CAPES/GOOD PVA/SW FLOW ALOFT PLUS GOOD DIURNAL HEATING AND S/SE
FLOW BELOW PRODUCED SCT-NMRS SHWRS/TSTMS ACRS CWA SAT AFTN.

STRONG TO ISOLD SEVERE PULSE STORMS DEVELOPED IN MOIST AIR WHERE
AFTN TEMPS WERE IN THE LOWER 90S AND DEW POINTS WERE IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S. MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WITH ML CAPES
1500-2000 J/KG AND SFC-3KM LAPSE RATES AROUND 7C/KM SUFFICIENT FOR
SMALL HAIL AND WET MICROBURSTS. INTENSE LIGHTNING OCCURRED WITH
THESE STORMS. FOR EXAMPLE DURING LATE AFTN...2116 STRIKES WERE
INDICATED IN ONE HOUR IN BOX FROM SW WAKULLA THRU ERN FRANKLIN TO SE
LIBERTY COUNTIES. PER RADAR SIGNATURES...WATERSPOUTS ALSO LIKELY
OCCURRED WERE NEAR ALLIGATOR POINT-CARRABELLE AREA.

.AT UPPER LEVELS...
VERY STRONG RIDGE OVER SW CONUS ANCHORED OVER THE ROCKIES AND A
BROAD H5/H2 TROUGH OVER THE EAST. SHORT WAVE TROUGH EXITING TEXAS
INTO LA PIVOTING AROUND THE BASE OF THIS LONG WAVE TROUGH. ASSOCD
UPPER LOW HAS FINALLY MOVED OUT OF SRN PLAINS AND OPENED INTO TROUGH
IN RESPONSE TO UPSTREAM RIDGE THAT BEGINS EWD JAUNT. ANOTHER WEAK
TROUGH OVER LWR MS VALLEY.

BY LATE TONIGHT...LONG WAVE TROUGH TO BE ANCHORED OVER EAST WITH
AXIS FROM GREAT LAKES TO NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER SHORTWAVE TO DEEPEN AS
IT MOVES EAST. AND...THERE IS PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND Q-G
FORCING OVER THE SOUTHEAST AHEAD OF TX SHORT WAVE WITH SW FLOW
SPREADING EWD. LATEST GUIDANCE FORECASTS THIS SHORT WAVE TO CUT OFF
OVER EXTREME WESTERN AL SUNDAY...WHICH WILL CONFINE THE BULK OF THE
Q-G FORCING TO THE WESTERN AND NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF OUR FORECAST
AREA.

UPPER TROF FORECAST TO RETROGRADE W OVER SUN-MON WITH AN UPPER HIGH
AND RISING HEIGHTS BUILDING WWD FROM THE ATLC. THIS SHOULD ALLOW
POPS TO GRADUALLY DECREASE ACROSS ERN THIRD OF CWA ON SUN AND ACROSS
ALL OF CWA ON MONDAY.

.AT LOWER LEVELS...
ANALYSIS SHOWS A DECAYING STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING FROM EAST
TX...THROUGH CENTRAL AL AND CENTRAL GA...AND OFF THE COAST OF SC.
THIS FRONT SEPARATES SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR TO ITS NORTH FROM A VERY
MOIST TROPICAL AIRMASS TO THE SOUTH. LOW-LEVEL TROUGH SET UP FROM
VLD-VCNTY TLH. LATEST PIX IMPLY THAT TROUGH BACKING UP IN RESPONSE
TO APPROACHING SHORT WAVE.

ON SUNDAY...THE 1000-700 MB MEAN WIND VECTOR WILL BE SOUTHWEST AT 5
TO 10 KT...WHICH IS TYPICALLY OUR WETTEST SYNOPTIC WEATHER PATTERN
(FOR SEA BREEZE-RELATED RAINFALL). THE ONLY APPARENT LIMITING FACTOR
MAY BE SOME DRYING IN THE MID TO UPPER TROPOSPHERE THAT...ACCORDING
TO THE NAM AND GFS...WILL BE WORKING ITS WAY INTO THE SOUTHEAST. BY
MONDAY...THE Q-G FORCING WILL DIMINISH AND THE FORCING FOR DEEP
MOIST CONVECTION WILL HAVE TO BE DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY THE SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATION AND OTHER MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES.
&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING AND REST OF TONIGHT)
THE POP WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY TONIGHT DUE TO THE
ABUNDANT DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND Q-G FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH TO OUR WEST. WITH PROLONGED RAIN
EVENT...NEED TO KEEP EYE ON AT LEAST LOCALIZED FLOODING..ESPECIALLY
IN AREA WHERE AMPLE RAINS FEEL ON SAT LIKE SE BIG BEND AND COASTAL
SECTIONS OF FLA PANHANDLE/BIG BEND. WATERSPOUTS REMAINS POSSIBLE
TONIGHT ESPECIALLY OVER SW FACING COASTLINES WHERE DIURNAL
INSTABILITY MAX OCCURS MIDNIGHT-6 AM. WILL UPDATE ZFP TO REMOVE
EVENING WORDING AND TWEAK REST OF TONIGHT POPS.

&&

.AVIATION...
THE SHWRS/TSTMS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST LATER
TONIGHT. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG/MIST WITH MVFR VSBYS FOR ALL
TERMINALS EXCEPT KPFN BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY. IFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE
AT KDHN BETWEEN 09Z AND 13Z SUNDAY. THEN VFR INTO EARLY AFTN BEFORE
ANOTHER BOUT OF SCT-NMRS STORMS ESPECIALLY SE ALA/SW GA WITH MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS AREAWIDE WITH LCL IFR IN STRONGER STORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE DUE TO THE WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
CONDITIONS WILL BE TOO MOIST FOR RED FLAG WARNINGS.

&&

.TAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
AL...NONE.
GA...NONE.
FL...NONE.
GMZ750...NONE.
GMZ755...NONE.

MORE TYPICAL SCATTERED SUMMERTIME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG
THE SEA BREEZE ARE EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING DURING THE
