AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
244 PM EDT SUN JUN  1 2003

...SHORT TERM...
DEWPOINT BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY OF THE STATE LINE CONTINUES TO SLOW
ITS SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION AND SHOULD BE ABOUT AS FAR AS IT WILL GO
WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...SHOWERS BECOMING
A BIT MORE NUMEROUS AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE MID 80S DESPITE
ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER. AS BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...FEEL SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
FOLLOW SUIT AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ENTER THE PICTURE BY MID
AFTERNOON. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...DECENT CAP ON
MORNING SOUNDINGS BUT ENOUGH BOUNDARY LAYER LIFT SHOULD BE ABLE TO
BREAK IT AND MAY EVEN PRODUCE ONE OR TWO STRONG STORMS GIVEN STOUT
UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW ABOVE 850MB. A SECOND LINE NEAR THE WIND SHIFT
ZONE OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA SHOULD ONLY PRODUCE SPORADIC LIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS THROUGH THIS EVENING.

FOR TONIGHT...MOISTURE AXIS TO RESIDE OVER SOUTHERN TIER COUNTIES
WITH MINIMAL POPS WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. WILL LEAVE 20 POPS
IN FOR THE OVERNIGHT AND LET EVENING SHIFT RE-ADJUST SHOULD NEED BE.

...MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS GETS CRANKING BY EARLY MONDAY
ACTING TO LIFT FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTH AND EASTWARD. ENOUGH MOISTURE
REMAINS IN ITS WAKE TO JUSTIFY SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON POPS.
WESTERLY FLOW RETURNS AS WELL WITH MESO-ETA INDICATING ENHANCEMENT
ALONG SEA BREEZE COLLISION OVER EASTERN INTERIOR PORTIONS. WILL KEEP
HIGHEST POPS IN THESE AREAS WITH A GRADUAL TRANSITION TO THE COAST
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. GUIDANCE A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH
THE POPS FOR TUESDAY AS MID LEVEL MOISTURE GETS IN ON THE ACT
INCREASING PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OVER THE AREA. WILL USE A
BLEND OF GUIDANCE SINCE THEY SEEM FAIRLY REASONABLE AND ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT.

...EXTENDED...
THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL REMAIN LARGELY THE SAME AS PREVIOUS
FORECAST AS A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES OVER THE NORTHERN TIER ARE ONLY
ABLE TO BRING FRONTS INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA AT BEST. DESPITE THIS...
ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE TO PROVIDE SCATTERED
MAINLY AFTERNOON CONVECTION ALONG THE SEA BREEZE COLLISIONS AS WELL
AS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE MOISTURE PROFILE IS A BIT MORE FAVORABLE.

...MARINE...
WINDS FINALLY DOWN AT 41012...RECENTLY WSW 12G16KT SEAS 3 FT. WILL
GENERALLY FOLLOW GFS SOLUTION AS IT SHOWS FRONT SAGGING SWD
OVERNIGHT THEN STALLING. VARIABLE WINDS IN THE MORNING WITH FRONT
IN THE AREA BUT BECOME MORE E AND SE BY LATE MON AS HIGH PRES CENTER
OFF OF NC MOVES INTO THE WRN ATLC WATERS. SLY WIND INCREASE IN STORE
FOR MON NIGHT AS LOW PRES FORMS TO OUR NW AND COULD RISE TO SCEC
CONDS IN NRN WATERS BUT FOR NOW WILL STICK WITH 10-15 KT OR SOLID 15
KT. ALSO WILL NOT GO AS STRONG AS THE GFS SOLUTION ON TUE NIGHT INTO
WED BUT SCA CONDS LOOK LIKE A POSSIBILITY BASED ON CONSISTENCY IN
MODEL RUNS.

...FIRE WEATHER...
NO HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS TIME. MIN RHS SHOULD ONLY BOTTOM OUT IN THE
UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. GUSTY S TO SW WINDS EXPECTED TUE AND WILL
MENTION IN SYNOPSIS.
