AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
215 PM EDT MON JUN 03 2002

CURRENT...QUITE HOT AROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS
AT 2 PM IN THE MID 90S ACROSS NE FLORIDA AND THE CLOSE TO 100 ACROSS
MUCH OF SE GEORGIA. SCATTERED CU JUST NOW BEGINNING TO DEVELOP WITH
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT KEEPING CLOUDS QUITE SUPPRESSED. WITH SEA BREEZE
JUST BEGINNING TO DEVELOP AND CAPES RUNNING AOA 3000J/KG STILL
EXPECT A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP LATER IN THE AFTERNOON...
MAINLY OVER INLAND FLORIDA ZONES WHERE SEA BREEZE FORCING WILL BE
STRONGEST.

FORECAST...H5 HIGH FCST TO SHIFT SLOWLY EAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
SFC HIGH PRESSURE ALSO FCST TO BUILD OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD. AS A
RESULT...FLOW ON TUESDAY WILL BE EASTERLY WHICH WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES DOWN FROM TODAYS NEAR RECORD HIGHS. SUCH A FLOW SHOULD
KEEP MOST CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY CONFINED TO WEST COAST SO WILL GO WITH
HIGHEST POPS OVER FAR WESTERN COUNTIES WITH LOWEST POPS ALONG EAST
COAST. FOR WEDNESDAY...MESOETA SHOWS PWATS DROPPING BELOW 1.2 INCHES
ACROSS MUCH OF CWA WHICH SHOULD PRECLUDE ANYTHING BUT A FEW ISOLATED
STORMS.

BEYOND WEDNESDAY...WILL KEEP AN EYE ON SOUTHERN GULF AS AVN AND
CANADIAN ARE PERSISTENT IN DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE BY WEDNESDAY. THE
WAY IT LOOKS NOW EVEN IF SOME DEVELOPMENT DOES DEVELOP ITS MOVEMENT
WILL BE QUITE SLOW WITH NO IMPACT ON THE FORECAST THROUGH THE LATTER
PART OF THE WEEK. OTHERWISE...MODELS DISAGREE ON EVOLUTION OF UPPER
PATTERN. AVN/MRF WANTS TO DIG TROUGH INTO SOUTHEAST BY SATURDAY WITH
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE AREA WHICH WOULD ENHANCE AFTN
CONVECTION. MOST OTHER GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A MUCH WEAKER AND MORE
PROGRESSIVE TROUGH WHICH BYPASSES AREA WITH A RIDGE BUILDING OVER
THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY THE WEEKEND. WILL LEAN TOWARDS THE LATTER
SOLUTION WITH POPS BELOW MRF GUIDANCE AND TEMPS A COUPLE DEGREES
ABOVE GUIDANCE.

MARINE...NO HIGHLIGHTS. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO PREVIOUS.
