AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
238 PM EDT Sun May 6 2012

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT FOR SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST GEORGIA AND PORTIONS OF INLAND FLORIDA PANHANDLE
AND BIG BEND HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO INCLUDE 9 COUNTIES IN SOUTH
CENTRAL GEORGIA...

.PREV DISCUSSION...
.Discussion...Not many changes appear to be needed to the near term
grids with primary focus on coverage and intensity of
afternoon/evening thunderstorms.  12z soundings from TLH and BMX
indicate very steep lapse rates are in place atop rich boundary
layer moisture with h5 temps from -11c to -14c.  This will support
moderate to strong instability with afternoon MLCAPE likely
exceeding 2500 J/Kg this afternoon as highs push 90f. Primary
hindrance for any sustained severe threat will be the weak winds
aloft.  Thus, storms will mainly be pulse in nature with brief-lived
intense cores.  The strongest of these pulsating storms should be
capable of hail around 1 inch in diameter and brief damaging winds.
Coverage and initiation locations of ensuing diurnal storms remains
problematic with only weak focusing mechanisms in place.  Storms may
continue propagating southwards out of central AL/GA...with
additional isolated development possible along the sea breeze or any
other weak, residual surface boundaries given the general lack of
capping this afternoon.  It is not out of the question to see
activity become semi-organized along a common outflow and shift
south across the CWA this evening with pulse-severe cores.  This
possibility is the reason SPC has placed area back under a SLGT in
the day 1 outlook.

&&

.Aviation (through 12 UTC Monday)...Partly sunny conditions will
become prevalent into the early afternoon as fog/low clouds have
burned off.  However, expect increasing chances of showers/
thunderstorms as the day wears on. Some of the stronger storms could
produce wind gusts at least in the 20-30 kt range with an isolated
severe gust and hail not out of the question at TAF sites.  This
activity is expected to move offshore/diminish during the evening
with VFR for several hours tonight before fog and low clouds again
bring MVFR/IFR conditions around sunrise.

&&

.MARINE...
A fairly benign pattern is expected over the marine area the next
several days (outside of thunderstorm activity). Seas should be
generally 1 foot or less with winds below 15 knots.

&&

.TAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
AL...None.
GA...None.
FL...None.
GM...None.
