AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 200 PM EDT MON JUN 11 2001 THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER THAT REMAINS FROM ALLISON HAS WEAKENED ONLY SLIGHTLY OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS AS IT MOVED NE FROM THE MOUTH OF THE MS RIVER INLAND TO SOUTHERN MS. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A WRAPPED SYSTEM WITH A MAJOR FEEDER BAND JUST EAST OF MOBILE BAY... AND POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF MINOR BANDS FORMING FARTHER EAST.

NOTE: OUR UPPER AIR SYSTEM WILL BE INOPERATIVE UNTIL WE GET PARTS SHIPPED FROM KANSAS CITY AND THROUGH ATLANTA. INCOMING RAIN/STORMS MAY DELAY FLIGHTS SO WE DON'T EVEN ESTIMATE RESTORE TIME.

MODELS SHOW WEAK VORT MAX OVER THE CWA THROUGH TUE AND WED...MUCH LESS BY THU. THIS WILL MEAN CONTINUED HIGH CHANCES OF RAIN/SHOWERS & TSTMS TONIGHT...CONTINUED CHANCE OF RAIN/SHOWERS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL START TO BUILD OVER SOUTHEASTERN U.S LATE WEDNESDAY...SIGNALING RETURN TO MAINLY SEA BREEZE CONVECTION FRI INTO THE WEEKEND.
