AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 308 PM EDT WED MAY 2 2001 UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN ALABAMA MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO THE EASTERN GULF THURSDAY AND OFF THE SOUTHEAST FLORIDA COAST 12Z FRIDAY. THE COLD POOL AIR ALOFT...ALONG WITH A GOOD AREA OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE... WILL DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE LEADING TO GREATER CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY. SOME OF THAT LIFT MAKES IT INTO OUR EXTREME SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST CWA AND WILL THEREFORE RAISE POPS TO 30 TO 40 PCT THERE. ELSEWHERE...LITTLE CHANGE IN THE FORECAST IS FORESEEN. VERY LITTLE POPS INDICATED FOR GEORGIA WHERE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE DRY AND STABLE. WEEKEND...WITH UPPER LOW AND DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA...LOOKS LIKE A MOSTLY DRY FORECAST WITH ONLY A FEW SHOWERS AT MOST EXPECTED ON SATURDAY. ANOTHER REINFORCING AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN MOVES THROUGH LATE SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING AGAIN JUST OFFSHORE THE MID ATLANTIC NEXT WEEK. THERE MAY BE SOME SHOWERS LATE SUNDAY BUT MOSTLY DRY FORECAST. MARINE...MESO-ETA (WINDS) AND NAVY COAMPS (SWELLS) ARE THE MODELS OF CHOICE HERE. BASED ON VISIBLE IMAGERY HAVE PICKED UP A BROAD LOW CENTER NEAR 26N 67W WHICH IS CONSISTANT WITH COAMPS DEVELOPING GALE CENTER. THIS LOW SHOULD CONTINUE DEEPENING AND MOVE NORTHEAST. A SECOND HIGHLY SHEARED LOW WAS NEAR 28.6N 73.4W AND THINK THIS IS THE LOW CENTER ETA BIT ON THIS MONRING. THE MAIN CONCERN REMAINS THE POSSIBLITY OF LARGE SWELLS THROUGH THE WEEKEND GENERATED BOTH BY THE LARGE PERSSURE GRADIENT AND THE GALE CENTER. CURRENTLY SWELLS ARE RUNNING 5 TO 7 FEET AND WILL FORECAST LARGE SWELLS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS RAISES A LIKELYHOOD OF RIP CURRENTS (OR RUN OUTS) FOR LOCAL BEACH ACTIVITIES.
