AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
545 PM EDT THU MAY 17 2012

.UPDATE...
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE JAX
METRO AREA AND ALONG THE ALTAMAHA RIVER BASIN. HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS
EXPECTED TO BE MAIN THREAT THROUGH SUNSET.

&&

.AVIATION...
STRONG GUST FRONT AND TSTM ACTIVITY TO PUSH THROUGH JAX METRO AREA
TAF SITES THE NEXT HOUR OR SO.

&&

JCH

PREVIOUS 340 PM AFD BELOW...

.CURRENTLY...
AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A WEAK LOW PRESSURE CENTER
(1013 MILLIBARS) OVER COASTAL GEORGIA...WITH A SURFACE TROUGH
EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
FLORIDA. FURTHER NORTH...HIGH PRESSURE (1026 MILLIBARS) IS
BUILDING OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION...AND THIS FEATURE IS PUSHING
A COLD FRONT INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. ALOFT...A MID AND UPPER
LEVEL CIRCULATION IS CUTTING OFF OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA...WITH A DEEP TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD FROM THIS
CIRCULATION INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. PER THE MORNING
SOUNDING AT TALLAHASSEE...DRIER AIR ALOFT HAS FILTERED INTO
WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR REGION. HOWEVER...COLD TEMPERATURES
ALOFT...MINUS 14 DEGREES CELSIUS AT 500 MILLIBARS ON THE 12Z KJAX
SOUNDING...ARE RESULTING IN VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE
NORTHERN AND EASTERN SECTION OF OUR AREA. DIME TO MARBLE SIZED
HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WERE REPORTED EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON
WITHIN STORMS OVER WAYNE AND APPLING COUNTIES...AND THIS ACTIVITY
IS PRESSING INTO THE COASTAL GEORGIA COUNTIES.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND FRIDAY)...
ACTIVITY SHOULD INCREASE OVER THE COASTAL FLORIDA COUNTIES
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...AS PLENTY OF MESOSCALE
BOUNDARIES POTENTIALLY INTERSECT AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ALOFT
PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG AND ISOLATED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES.
LESS COVERAGE IS EXPECTED FURTHER WEST...WHERE DRIER AND SLIGHTLY
MORE STABLE AIR ARE IN PLACE. WITH DRIER AIR IN PLACE...EXPECT
INTERIOR TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO A FEW DEGREES BELOW MID-MAY
CLIMATOLOGY...OR IN THE LOWER 60S...WITH MID-60S ELSEWHERE.

TROUGHING ALOFT OVER OUR REGION WILL PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY. MODEL
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO EASTERN SECTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL SERVE TO REDUCE RAIN CHANCES
QUICKLY BY MIDNIGHT...AND ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE EXPECT THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING. AS LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OFF THE CAROLINA
COASTLINE...THE WEAK BOUNDARY CURRENTLY TO OUR NORTH WILL PRESS
SOUTHWARD...AND OUR LOCAL PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY TIGHTEN
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTHWARD. THIS COMPLICATED WEATHER
PATTERN WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE DURING THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS ON FRIDAY...WITH SCATTERED ACTIVITY MOVING INLAND
AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. DESPITE PLENTY OF MORNING
SUNSHINE...SOME COOL AIR ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN HIGH
TEMPERATURES GENERALLY REMAINING IN THE LOWER 80S ALONG THE
COAST...AND MID-80S INLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING TO THE NORTHEAST OF OUR AREA...EXPECT
BREEZY NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. OTHERWISE...MID AND UPPER LEVEL
TROUGHING WILL BE SLOW TO DEPART OUR REGION. WITH UNSTABLE CONDITIONS
ALOFT PERSISTING...WE WILL KEEP SCATTERED MAINLY AFTN AND EVENING
SHOWERS/TSTMS ON SATURDAY AREA WIDE...DIMINISHING SOME ACROSS
SOUTHEAST GA SUNDAY AS THE TROUGH AXIS NUDGES SOUTH ACROSS
NORTHERN/CENTRAL FL. WITH A LESS AMPLIFIED TROUGH PATTERN EARLY
NEXT WEEK...WILL USE MAINLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL WARM TO
ABOVE NORMAL VALUES BY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK AS OUR FLOW
ALOFT BECOMES MORE ZONAL.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR WILL PREVAIL EXCEPT FOR NEAR TSRA. HAVE TSRA AT SSI WHERE
STORMS ARE APPROACHING ATTM. WILL AMEND FLORIDA TERMINALS TO
REMOVE TEMPO SINCE MOST OF ACTIVITY HAS MOVED OFF TO THE SE.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS/SEAS WILL REMAIN QUIET INTO FRIDAY MORNING. EXPECT SCEC
CONDS OVER THE WEEKEND AS PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES ALONG THE
SOUTHEAST COAST. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHEAST FRIDAY INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

RIP CURRENTS:LOW RISK THROUGH FRIDAY. AN ELEVATED RISK MAY DEVELOP
THIS WEEKEND DUE TO MODERATE ONSHORE WINDS.
