AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
1022 AM EDT FRI JUL 15 2011

.DISCUSSION...REGIONAL RADARS SHOW THE LOCAL AREA OFF TO AN EARLY
START WITH RESPECT TO CONVECTION. THE COMBINATION OF AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH...A LOW/MID LEVEL TROUGH...A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND
AN IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WILL YIELD WIDESPREAD LIKELY POPS
THIS AFTERNOON. THE MORNING KTLH SOUNDING REVEALED JUST HOW MOIST
THE ATMOSPHERE IS WITH A PWAT OF 2.34 INCHES...SUPPORTING THE
POTENTIAL OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL. A MODIFIED PARCEL OF 89/64
STILL YIELDED A PWAT NEAR 2.3 INCHES...WITH JUST OVER 3000 J/KG OF
CAPE. THIS PUTS THE INSTABILITY SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN YESTERDAY
HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM OR
TWO...MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY. THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY OF THE STORMS
THAT DO BECOME SEVERE WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND SMALL HAIL.
GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT SOME CONVECTION WILL LINGER INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND COASTAL
LOCATIONS.

&&

.MARINE...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AROUND 10 KNOTS AND SEAS 2 TO 3 FEET
ARE EXPECTED TODAY. THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL SHIFT EASTERLY THIS
WEEKEND AS THE SURFACE TROUGH RETREATS AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
FROM THE NORTH OVER OUR MARINE ZONES. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN BELOW
HEADLINE CRITERIA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...A TROPICAL AIRMASS WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. ALL TERMINALS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IMPACTED AT SOME POINT DURING THE DAY...STARTING
EARLIEST AT KECP AND GRADUALLY WORKING NORTHWARD. TEMPO GROUPS ARE
IN PLACE FOR THIS ACTIVITY.
