AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
230 PM EDT WED JUN 25 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AT 2 PM EDT...SHOWED SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS SE ALA AND ESPECIALLY GA ZONES AND ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS DIXIE COUNTY. A FEW STORMS HAVE BEEN STRONG
WITH WINDS TO 40 MPH AND POSSIBLY SMALL HAIL.

AT UPPER LEVELS...
LOOKING AT THE BIG PIX...MAIN ACTION IN NRN STREAM WITH TROUGHS, ONE
JUST OFF PAC NW AND ANOTHER OFF NE COAST WITH STRONG WESTERLIES IN
BETWEEN WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES ACROSS SRN CANADA/NRN MOST U.S..
LARGE SCALE PATTERN WILL AMPLIFY NEXT FEW DAYS AS PAC TROUGH MOVES
ONSHORE TONIGHT GENERATING SEVERAL STRONGER SHORTWAVES THAT ROLL EWD
ACROSS NRN TIER STATES. SRN STREAM DOMINATED BY SW DESERT HIGH...
WEAK TROFFING WRN GULF AND RIDGING ACROSS ERN GULF/WRN ATLC. BY
SATURDAY...STRONG RIDGE OVER WRN CONUS WITH TODAYS PAC TROF
DEEPENING OVER GREAT LAKES REGION AND BY SUNDAY...TROF DEEPENS
DOWN OVER SE CONUS PROVING INCREASING UPPER DYNAMICS FOR CWA.

CLOSER TO HOME...AREA LOCATED BETWEEN TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN GULF
AND SFC-H5 RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN GULF INTO THE WRN ATLC. RIDGE
APPEARS TO BE INCHING WWD. AS EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR LOOP...THIS
MEANS THAT A PLUME OF TROPICAL MOISTURE EMANATING IN GULF OF MEX
WILL STREAM UP EASTERN SIDE OF TROUGH AND ACROSS CWA. ON
THURSDAY...LIGHT SW STEERING FLOW PERSISTS AS CWA LOCATED BETWEEN A
WEAK 500 MB TROUGH OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND THE BERMUDA HIGH
CENTERED NORTHEAST OF THE BAHAMAS. THIS FLOW WILL BECOME
INCREASINGLY MOIST INTO FRIDAY AS IT TAPS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE FROM
THE TROPICS. ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...MEAN RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS SWD TO
N/CNTRL FLA WITH DEEP LYR LIGHT-MDT WSW FLOW PREVAILING LOCALLY ON
FRIDAY PUSHING CONVECTION FOCUS EWD AND MODERATE WNW FLOW ON
SATURDAY SHUNTING PRECIP ESE. ADDITIONAL CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL
HOPEFULLY RETURN CWA TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND NORMAL OR ABOVE
NORMAL AFTERNOON RAINFALL PATTERNS.

AT LOWER LEVELS...
LOOKING AT THE BIG PIX...SURFACE LOW EXITING NE MINN AND MOVE NEWD
INTO WRN ONTARIO WITH TRAILING FRONT FROM MN THRU IA AND WI WILL BE
FOCUS FOR REST OF THIS AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS CONVECTION. AS ABOVE
PAC TROF MOVES SE AND DEEPENS THRU WEEKEND... FRONT EVENTUALLY DROPS
SOUTH TO CNTRL ALA/GA BY LATE SUNDAY PROVIDING FOCUS FOR STORMS.

CLOSER TO HOME...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE FROM THE BAHAMAS TO ACROSS CWA
AND WWD TO MOBILE AL...AND A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT ROUGHLY
EXTENDING FROM ERN SC THRU MONTGOMERY AL. INCREASING CONVECTION/
OUTFLOWS DEVELOPED AHEAD OF BOUNDARY DURING AFTERNOON AND DROPPED
SOUTH INTO SE ALA/GA ZONES. BY LATE TONIGHT...FRONT WILL APPROACH
NRN CWA...ESPECIALLY IN GA AND THEN STALL AND BEGIN TO DISSIPATE AND
EVENTUALLY WASH OUT OVERNIGHT. STILL DEEPER LAYER MOISTURE WILL
INCREASE AS REFLECTED IN AREA TIME HEIGHT X-SECTIONS AND MODEL
SOUNDINGS. I.E. GFS TAE SOUNDING WITH 1.65 IN PWAT AT 00Z THU
INCREASING TO 1.88 IN PWAT AT 00Z SAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
SHORT TERM WILL SHOW INCREASING DEEP LYR MOISTURE..INCREASING CLOUDS
AND RAIN WITH STEERING FLOW VEERING A LITTLE EACH DAY. SO MAX TEMPS
DIP A LITTLE EACH DAY. POP FORECAST WILL LARGELY FOCUS ON LOCAL SEA
BREEZE CLIMO MERGED WITH GFS MODEL BLEND. MODEL TEMPS VERY CLOSE
THRU 1ST 3 PERIODS...THEN GFS A LITTLE WARMER NRN ZONES.

TONIGHT...WILL USE A THIS EVENING GROUP TO ACCOUNT FOR SCT-LOW
LIKELY CONVECTION DUE TO COMBO OF OLD OUTFLOWS FROM BOUNDARY N OF
CWA AND SEA BREEZE INTERACTIONS. SOME STORMS WILL BE STRONG TO
POSSIBLY PULSE SEVERE AND GIVEN WEAK STEERING FLOW PRODUCE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN. THEN...SOME CONVECTION WILL LINGER UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
INLAND TEMPS REMAIN AROUND 70. PATCHY FOG AGAIN LIKELY ESPECIALLY
EAST OF APALACHICOLA RIVER.

THURSDAY...UNDER INCREASING CLOUDS MAX TEMPS SLIP TO LOW 90S. LIGHT
AND VRBL OR LIGHT SSW STEERING FLOW WILL ENCOURAGE SEABREEZE
DEVELOPMENT AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW EQUILIBRIUM
LEVEL ABOVE 42K SO WILL ENCOURAGE TALL STORMS...PLUS WET BULB 3K
BELOW FZ-LEVEL IMPLIES THAT SOME STORMS MAY AGAIN BE STRONG TO ISOLD
SEVERE. WILL GO WITH S-N 50-30 PCT POP GRADIENT AND INCLUDE THAT
SOME STORMS MAY BE STRONG.

FRIDAY...LIGHT TO MODERATE WSW STEERING FLOW. LOW LIKELY POPS ACROSS
CWA. MAX TEMPS SLIP TO AROUND 90.

SATURDAY...MODERATE WLY STEERING FLOW. HI SCT ALONG THE COAST
OTHERWISE HI LIKELY POPS. MAX TEMPS SLIP TO UPPER 80S.

.LONG TERM...
(SAT NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) THE EXTENDED BEGINS WITH CONTINUED
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE COMING OUT OF THE TROPICS AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND NORMAL OR ABOVE NORMAL AFTERNOON RAINFALL PATTERNS.
BOTH THE GFS AND EURO AGREE THAT THE ATLANTIC RIDGE AXIS WILL BE
SITUATED TO OUR SOUTH WITH LOW-LEVEL SOUTHWEST TO WESTERLY FLOW
THROUGH THE PERIOD. OTHER FEATURES SHOW A BIG UPPER HIGH SETTLED
INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE COMING OUR OF
CANADA. ON SATURDAY NIGHT...THE GFS SHOWS THE SHORT WAVE IN THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THE EURO IS A LITTLE SLOWER. BY MONDAY...THE
SHORT WAVE HAS DUG OUT A DEEP TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. AND IS
SOMEWHAT LINED UP WITH A TROUGH IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS
INCREASES THE AMPLITUDE OF THE RIDGE IN THE WEST AS WELL AS THE
RIDGE OFF THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. A COLD FRONT PUSHES ITS WAY INTO
NORTHERN GEORGIA FOCUSING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ON MONDAY AND
TUESDAY IN OUR REGION. COUPLED WITH FAVORABLE UPPER AIR
PATTERN...ALL THIS POINTS TO AN ACTIVE PERIOD WITH THE WEEKEND AND
INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK PROBABLY BEING THE MOST ACTIVE.
DRIER AIR SHOULD FILTER IN LATE ON TUESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLD SHRA/TSRA WHICH HAVE DEVELOPED OVER PORTIONS OF
SRN AL/GA WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES.
ALSO, THE SEA BREEZE WILL BECOME ACTIVE OVER THE INLAND FL PANHANDLE
AND BIG BEND WITH ISOLD-SCT TSRA. HAVE TEMPO GROUPS FOR MVFR
CIGS/IFR VSBYS AND GUSTY WINDS IN TSRA FOR ALL EXCEPT PFN. OUTSIDE
THE TSRA, EXPECT VFR AND S-SWLY 5-10 KTS. CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO
EBB AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET, WITH RESIDUAL
MID/HIGH CLOUDS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY FOG WITH MVFR VSBYS AT ABY, TLH AND VLD, WITH
IFR VSBY AT VLD.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE ABOUT AS LOW AS THEY CAN GET
THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE COASTAL WATERS REMAIN NEAR A HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE AXIS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...INCREASING MOISTURE WILL PRECLUDE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
