Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 1:31 PM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 131 PM EDT TUE JUN 30 2015 .SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY/... OLD FRONTAL SYSTEM IN THE AREA WILL MOVE NORTH WITH THE CONVECTION ALONG IT STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON. A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL ALABAMA WILL DROP EAST- SOUTHEAST INTO THE NWS JACKSONVILLE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING WITH A POSSIBLE SECOND ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER AS IT APPROACHES THIS EVENING. THE BOW ECHO LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES THE EAST COAST AND IT DOES WEAKEN OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. SO LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCE OF A SECOND ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE OVER THE SUWANNEE VALLEY AND INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. CONVECTION SHOULD TOTALLY END BY MIDNIGHT WITH CLEARING SKIES IN MOST AREAS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID 70S AND THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE AROUND 60 PERCENT EARLY IN THE EVENING. THE BROAD EAST COAST UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH A GENERALLY WEST TO WEST-NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW. THINGS SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE SUBSIDENT TOMORROW WITH POPS GENERALLY IN THE 20-30 PERCENT RANGE OVER GEORGIA AND THE 30-40 PERCENT RANGE OF FLORIDA.

THE AXIS OF THE WESTERN EXTENSION OF THE BERMUDA RIDGE WILL STAY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL FLORIDA KEEPING LOW LEVEL WINDS OUT OF THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE ALONG WITH INCREASED INSTABILITY, WE SEE A FAIRLY ACTIVE PERIOD FOR CONVECTION. HENCE...THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED PATTERN OF SCATTERED LATE NIGHT AND MORNING STORMS NEAR GULF COAST SPREADING INLAND TOWARDS EAST COAST DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVE.
