Severe Thunderstorm Warning 137, NWS Tallahassee, FL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
920 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2008

.DISCUSSION...THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF AC/CS/CI CLOUD DEBRIS
LINGERING ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING FROM THE SMALL MCS WHICH
TRAVERSED THE CWA OVERNIGHT. THIS CLOUDINESS IS BEGINNING TO THIN
FAIRLY QUICKLY OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...SO INSOLATION
SHOULD HAVE SOME TIME TO GO TO WORK ON OUR MOIST AND UNSTABLE THERMO
PROFILES. MODIFIED THE 12 UTC TAE SOUNDING TO T=88, TD=70 TO GET A
CAPE=2888 J/KG, PW=1.80, AND AN LI=-5.9. THESE VALUES ARE VERY
CLOSE TO BUT JUST A BIT HIGHER THAN TYPE 5 SEA BREEZE CLIMATOLOGY
LEVELS (STRONG (>10 KTS) W-SW MEAN LAYER VECTOR WIND (MLVW) BETWEEN
1000-700MB)...SO EXPECT A TYPICAL HIGH POP DAY OVER THE AREA.
ADDITIONALLY...A SECOND MCS THAT FORMED OVER THE NE GULF TO THE S OF
MOB EARLIER THIS MORNING IS HOLDING TOGETHER FAIRLY WELL...WITH ITS
LEADING EDGE ABOUT TO MOVE ONSHORE OVER WALTON...BAY...AND GULF
COUNTIES DURING THE NEXT HOUR. WITH THIS EARLY START TO THE
CONVECTION AND VERY STRONG W-SW FLOW (15-20 KTS)...WILL INCREASE
POPS TO LIKELY FOR THE 12-18 UTC PERIOD FOR AT LEAST THE FL
PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND...AND WILL LEAVE THE LIKELY POPS FOR THE
ENTIRE CWA THIS AFTERNOON. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...WINDS CONTINUE
OUT OF THE W-SW AROUND 10 KTS...WITH GENERALLY 1-2 FT SEAS.

&&

.AVIATION...NO LACK OF MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE AREA FROM KPFN TO KDHN AND KABY THIS MORNING WITH MORE HAZY
SUNSHINE FURTHER EAST TO KTLH AND KVLD. AREA OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL
MOVE ASHORE ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE DURING THE MID MORNING WITH
KPFN LIKELY SEEING A SHOWER OR STORM. A FEW MORE LIGHTER SHOWERS ARE
SEEN UP TOWARD KDHN WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL DECK. EXPECT THE
SHOWERS/STORMS TO EVOLVE NORTH AND EAST WITH TIME FROM THE FL
PANHANDLE INTO SOUTHEAST AL/SW GEORGIA AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA BIG
BEND INTO THE LATER MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. WITH THIS ACTIVITY
IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT KDHN...KABY AND KTLH WILL SEE AT LEAST A
BRIEF SHOWER OR STORM WITH MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS BEING JOINED BY A
LOWER LEVEL CU FIELD. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE EVOLVING TO
THE EAST INTO THE AFTERNOON TOWARD KVLD. WITH MORE HEATING TAKING
PLACE IN THE EAST THESE STORMS MAY PACK A BIT MORE OF A PUNCH TOWARD
KVLD AND WILL INCREASE THE TEMPO WIND POTENTIAL. EXPECTING A LULL IN
THE ACTIVITY DURING THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE SOME ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION ENTERS THE FORECAST WITH THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT
FROM THE NORTH...ESPECIALLY FOR KDHN AND KABY.
