AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 200 AM EST MON DEC 10 2001 CURRENT...MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH CWA. STALLED FRONT AND SOUTHERLY CONVERGENT FLOW PROVIDING ISENTROPIC LIFT GENERATED PRECIPITATION OVER THE CENTRAL PENINSULA. RAIN RATES UP TO HALF INCH PER HOUR FOR LAST THREE HOURS NOTED IN MARION COUNTY. ALL RAIN WELCOME. OF 00Z MODELS...ETA AND NGM INDICATE 700 MB LIFT IN SYNC WITH CURRENT RAIN. MESOETA AND YESTERDAYS ETA10 BOTH TOO FAR SOUTH AND TOO NOISY...AVN IS OUT TO LUNCH DUE TO GRID SCALE. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE TODAYS ETA10 WHEN IT FINISHES. SOUTHERN CWA HAS DEW POINTS IN UPPER 60S...PLENTY OF JUICE FOR DECEMBER. SOME THUNDERSTORMS PROBABLE EVEN TONIGHT. FORECAST...KEY TO THE FORECAST FOR MONDAY IS ANALYSIS OF CURRENT SURFACE SITUATION...BUT THAT IS NONTRIVIAL. SEEMS THAT INCIPIENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS IN BOTH EASTERN GULF AND SAB EXIST...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR INTENSIFICATION BY EJECTING UPPER SHORT WAVE. STRONG SURGE ALONG CAROLINA COAST FAVORS THE SAB CYCLOGENESIS... WHILE PROXIMITY TO THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND TROUGH FAVORS GULF LOW. INDICATIONS FROM CURRENT DATA ARE THAT SAB LOW WILL MORPH INTO A COASTAL CAROLINA WARM FRONTAL TROUGH AS WAVE DEVELOPS AROUND THE GULF LOW...ALMOST A BAROCLINIC FUJIWARA. GENERALLY FAVOR THE AVN IN SPITE OF ITS INABILITY TO DEAL WITH CURRENT PRECIP DUE TO GRID SCALE LIMITATIONS. AVN BRINGS 700 MB LIFT FURTHER SOUTH AND LOBES IT INTO BOTH GULF AND SAB NEAR 12Z THEN TRAILS IT THROUGH CWA THRU MONDAY EVE...WHILE TRACKING GULF LOW ACROSS SE GA. HOPE THAT IS THE ACTUAL SENARIO AS WE NEED THE EXTRA PRECIP BADLY. OBVIOUSLY NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS TODAY. MARINE...WILL WATCH R2 TOWER (SPAG1) AND GRAYS REEF CLOSELY AND MAY BUMP GA WATERS TO SCEC. FOR NOW...LOOKS LIKE THE SURGE STOPS NEAR SAV. PRELIM...
