AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
1006 AM EDT SUN JUN 14 2009

.DISCUSSION...
THE 12 UTC REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WEAK PRESSURE
PATTERN ALONG THE GULF COAST. VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR DATA
SHOWED A STRONG RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS BEGINNING TO SPREAD
EASTWARD. THE BACKING MID TROPOSPHERIC FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
BUILDING HEIGHTS WILL KEEP THE LARGE MCS (CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN
MS/WESTERN TN) WELL NORTH OF OUR REGION. THE 12 UTC KTAE SOUNDING
SHOWED MUCH DRIER AND WARMER AIR ABOVE 700 MB THAN 24 HOURS
AGO...WHICH WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR SUSTAINED DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION. THE LATEST MOS AND RAW MODEL OUTPUT FROM OUR LOCAL WRF
INDICATE SOME SEA BREEZE STORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS
FL...WITH THE BEST CHANCE (ALBEIT LOW) BEING NEAR THE APALACHICOLA
RIVER WHERE THE MOST FAVORABLE CONVERGENCE WILL BE. THE NORTHWEST
FLOW FROM 1000-700 MB WILL PREVENT THE SEA BREEZE FRONTS FROM
MAKING MUCH INLAND PROGRESS. ALTHOUGH ONLY A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WILL DEVELOP INTO THE DRY AIR ALOFT...THE ONES THAT DO COULD
BRIEFLY PRODUCE SOME SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS GIVEN THE MLCAPE
NEAR 2000 J/KG AND STEEP VERTICAL THETA-E LAPSE RATES (30K
DIFFERENCE FROM THE SURFACE TO 600 MB).

&&

.AVIATION...
AREAS OF MIST WITH TEMPO MVFR VSBY WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE SHORTLY
AFTER SUNRISE WITH FEW-SCT CU CLOUDS DEVELOPING BY LATE MORNING.
DEEP MOIST CONVECTION WILL BE QUITE SUPPRESSED TODAY WITH ONLY
ISOLATED AFTERNOON ACTIVITY...GENERALLY SOUTH OF I-10 ASSOCIATED
WITH THE GULF COAST SEA BREEZE. TSRA CHANCES WILL BE TOO LOW TODAY
AND WILL MENTION FEW-SCT CB CLOUDS. CU CLOUDS WILL DISSIPATE AFTER
SUNSET THIS EVENING...WITH VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT.
