AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
930 AM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

.UPDATE...
KJAX MORNING SOUNDING AND RADAR WIND PROFILE SHOWS DEEP AND
STRONG SW FLOW WITH SPEEDS OF 20-3O KT ABOVE 1 KFT. SW FLOW HAS
USHERED IN DEEP MOISTURE ALSO AND PWAT IS 2.11 INCHES. A PRE-
FRONTAL SQUALL LINE HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED WITH SEVERAL
BOWING SEGMENTS AS IT IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO OUR WESTERN
BORDERS. RADAR OCCASIONALLY SHOWS SOME WEAK ROTATION AND WILL
MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE TORNADOES. OTHERWISE GUSTY WINDS ARE THE MAIN
CONCERN AND SOME SITES TO OUR WEST HAVE REPORTED GUSTS TO NEAR 50
MPH. EXPECT THE NORTHERN END OF THE LINE TO PRODUCE THE STRONGER
STORMS AS CLOUDS AND RAIN FROM EARLIER CONVECTION OVER OUR SRN
TIER WILL HAVE STABILIZED THIS AREA. EARLIER SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWED A GAP IN THE CLOUDS BETWEEN THE CONVECTIVE AREAS BUT THE
SQUALL LINE IS QUICKLY ADVANCING AND CLOSING IN THE GAP. THIS
LINE SHOULD MOVE SWIFTLY ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON.
