AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
251 PM EDT SUN MAY 6 2012

...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...

.SHORT TERM...NOW THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...SCATTERED STRONG STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACRS SE GA AND NEAR THE FL/GA
BORDER AND DRIFT SLOWLY TOWARDS THE E/SE AT 10 MPH. SOME OF STORMS
MAY BECOME SEVERE WITH ISOLATED REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNSET. MAX TEMPS HAVE SURGED WELL INTO THE
LOWER/MID 90S SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WITH DEWPOINTS MIXING OUT INTO
THE 50S...SO STILL ENOUGH DRY AIR LINGERING IN THE REGION TO KEEP
MOST OF THE TSTM ACTIVITY SCATTERED IN NATURE.

TONIGHT...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS ACTIVITY ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL
CONTINUE THIS EVENING WITH STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH
AT LEAST MIDNIGHT BEFORE LACK OF HEATING SHOULD LEAD TO JUST
ISOLD/SCTD ACTIVITY AFTER MIDNIGHT ALONG THE BOUNDARY WHICH WILL
REMAIN NEAR THE FL/GA BORDER. MILD OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 60S. SOME
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG TRAINING CELLS BUT
WITH ONGOING DROUGHT NOT TOO MUCH CONCERN FOR WIDESPREAD FLOODING AT
THIS JUNCTURE.

MONDAY...NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE
ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS MID/UPPER LEVEL LIFT COMBINE WITH
ADDITIONAL MOISTURE SURGING INTO THE REGION ALONG WITH DIURNAL
HEATING AND LOCAL SBRZ BOUNDARIES FIRING INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE
ENHANCED BREEZY ONSHORE FLOW ALONG THE COAST AT E/NE 15 MPH WILL
HELP WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE OVER THE LAND AREAS AND BOOST
COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. MAX TEMPS WILL HOLD IN THE 80S
WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF CLOUD COVER AND SHOWER ACTIVITY. A FEW STORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH COOL TEMPS ALOFT AIDING IN
POSSIBLE HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.

TUE/WED...GENERAL TROFINESS IN THE MID/UPPER LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE AND COOLER MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL KEEP HIGH LEVELS OF
INSTABILITY OVER THE REGION AND THIS COMBINED WITH DIURNAL HEATING
AND OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY MIXED WITH LOCAL SBRZ DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE
ENOUGH TO KICK OFF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS...MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. MAX TEMPS WILL CONTINUE NEAR NORMAL IN
THE 80S.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

FRONTAL PASSAGE AT THE SURFACE AND MID/UPPER LEVEL TROF PASSAGE
ALOFT ON THURSDAY WILL REDUCE PCPN CHANCES TO ISOLD/SCTD THEN
BECOMING MAINLY DRY AND COOLER WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S ON
FRI/SAT...THEN A RETURN TO POSSIBLE SHOWERS/TSTMS ON SUNDAY AS
MOISTURE RETURNS WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW.

&&

.AVIATION...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT THE JACKSONVILLE
TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE...COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE
TOO LOW FOR ANY MENTION IN THE TAFS. BEST TIMING FOR THUNDERSTORMS
IN JACKSONVILLE IS BETWEEN 21 AND 00Z. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL
BE CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. ACTIVITY WILL WIND
DOWN THIS EVENING WITH PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
TONIGHT. HOWEVER...WE MAY SEE SOME MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
IN PATCHY FOG AT GNV AND VQQ.

WE HAVE HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OCCURRING AT
THE TERMINALS ON MONDAY...THUS WILL GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE PROB30
GROUPS BEGINNING AROUND MID MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...

BACKDOOR FRONT HAS MOVED INTO THE GEORGIA WATERS AND WILL CONTINUE
TO PRESS SOUTH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL ABRUPTLY
SWITCH TO THE NORTHEAST AND INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS BEHIND THE
FRONT. ONSHORE FLOW WILL THEN PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE
TURNING BACK TO THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT LIFTS BACK
TO THE NORTH. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 3 TO 5 FEET ON MONDAY DUE TO LONG
FETCH OF NORTHEAST WINDS.

RIP CURRENTS: LOW RISK.
